Weekend makes ....

Hubby was working night shift this weekend, so unfortunately (yeah, right) I had to abandon the housework as to not waken him up. No problem - just get all the craft stuff out! hahah

Thing was - I still had to keep the kids entetained as well. So while the kids set about making gift bags for their teacher for the end of term, I got stuck into making some cards.

I'll try and show the kids' gift bags later - not sure when the mounds of glitter glue will ever be dry! LOL

This one is for a friend.

The top ribbon has a peel off on it with "Just to Say" and the gorgeous die cut bear is froman Ebay seller by the name of Teeniesmum. She makes the most gorgeous bears I have ever see and when she has a listing of them, I try to make sure I can snap some up for my stash.

This is little card for my special friend Janet's grand-daughter,

Anna who's turning 6yrs old.

She is a gorgeous little girl who never fails to brighten her gran's day

and mine with her lovely smile.

I have used a Pollycraft topper (surprised?) & a few wee bits from my stash.

Janet is a very special lady. She is bravely fighting lymphoma cancer and her husband Jeff, has also recently had a brush with cancer. I checking on them every day via the Hopper's Faith Love and Hope blog. Janet is never without a smile and never fails to amaze me with her determination, faith and selflessness in thinking of others.

Janet you are an inspiration to me and I think of you often.

Gentle hugs

Photos....argh!

As promised here are some photos from our wee jaunt (5km) at the Race for Life. It was a brilliant day out and was made even more special by the fact me and Cali were joined by our good friends Pam & Kiera. Thanks girls

Race for Life - 2008

WE DID IT!!!

What a fantastic day. We (me, Cali, Pam & Kiera) completed the 5km in just over an hour. It was a great experience that I'll never forget and am so happy to have taken part. It will definitely be on my list of "To Do's" for next year.


I'll be adding photos to this post a little later. My camera died on me so when I get copies from Pam - they'll be here for all to see.


I really enjoyed and was inspired by the messages on the other ladies and girls back, as to who they were running the race for. Some had family members and friends, some were for all effected by cancer but each had a special meaning to each runner. Mine simply said:


I ran the race of life for family, friends, strangers and future generations. xx


Thanks to all of you who donated, you made it a special day for me!
