it's been a while

--- over a month in fact since I last blogged.  Please forgive me.   I am pretty sure I made mention in a previous post, or two, about the fact the organisation I work for has been consulting with "the union" on a restructure.  I'm also pretty sure I have mentioned the outcome.  Well in the past month the job descriptions have been released, and the closing date is tomorrow.   I submitted my application form on Friday, so hopefully things will get a lot less stressy now.  At least until I know the outcome.   I have already said that if I open a letter than says "We are sorry but......." then I will cry.   But I will cross that bridge if I ever gt to it.

I've done a bit of crafting and the like in th past month - but I can't remember exactly what I've done.

so here's a selection

This is a Hunky Dory storybook kit - "Twas the night before Christmas"

This is not a very crisp picture, but the card was rather lovely - it's using Clarity stamps from Barbara Gray and the brayering techniques she is so very good at.

This is using a Jayne Netley Mayhew stamp - it's the black cat, I gave this to my son as his birthday card and he said "it looks like Smokey"   which was the intention all along.   I coloured in the eyes with a pear green promarker.

This one I gave to my mother - it's a Stampavie Sarah Kay stamp. 

This one I gave to my sister - it didn't turn out as wll as I'd hoped - it is, again, using Hunky Dory products.

This is anotheer Rupert card - again from a kit - not too much imaginative creativity going on at the moment

And this is using kanban stamps.


Finally - a cake

And some flapjacks

And that's me done

Catch you later folks xxx
