Finished it ........













Oh yes I did!
So here is the altered canvas for my fabby Auntie Pat.
I'm not entirely happy with it to be honest - BUT it was made with love and I am sure that Pat will treasure it!
Well she better - Or I will stamp my little size 4 feet!
I had started out as doing this for Lisa's beady challenge and had pictures of Blooms with stunning beaded flower centres .......... BUT they looked naff! It could be because I am not a beader - or it could be that I wanted this picture just to be nice and simple and not destract from the photo. SO Instead I just added a few seed beads to one of the flowers - will have to see if I get called a cheat!!

Right back to cooking the Roast Dinner and making Thai Curry to freeze so that I can stuff my face on lush food during the week with no effort!

I hope you have all had a great weekend - I have - Just sad that it is Monday again tomorrow!

Love Bex xxxx

Happy Mother's Day




















To all of you who are Mummy's - I hope you are being Spoilt

To all of you who have Mummy's - I hope you are spoiling them
To anyone who has lost their Mum - I hope you are having a good day with happy memories.
This is one of my favourite pics of My Mum (left) and my Auntie Pat.
I am busy altering it onto a canvass as a pressie for my Aunt. Will share when done! (If it ever is of course - you know what I am like!)
Hope you are all having a truly lovely day xxxx
Love Bex

More pics for you!

As promised here are some pics of my efforts in my fellow team mates Circle Journals!
I will say now the pics are really bad - sorry but I sort of left every single one till the night before posting - and ended up taking pics at silly o clock in the night!
BUT you will get the jist of my efforts hopefully!
So my mate Sue had chosen "Perfect Moments" (Rules Pink Green and Black)
And when I received the journal Sue had done a fabby layout of her Wedding Day (which I was priveleged to be part of so it was very touching) x
Nick had done a LO of her experience of being abroad watching dolphins (Love dolphins)
And initially I was stumped!
I am not married, not had kids - what was / is my perfect moment?
Well I am a fairly happy person and have lots of happy moments - but for me it had to be about FINALLY moving from the house from hell and feeling safe and happy! And have I mentioned I LOVE my new town / house / mates!
So here it is x
To be honest I am so happy living where I am now that YES when I am at home with Maisie in my PJ's with a cuppa - well Life is damned GOOD!!!!!
So Onto the next one .......... sorry about pic quality on this one.
Nicks CJ - Favourite Book
Now INSTANTLY I knew my favourite book was Noddy.
Nick had done a lovely layout in her book which was full of text information and I didn't want to go overboard and change the style too much as I was the first page to be done in this one.
SO I followed Nicks lead and kept it factual and added my thoughts in a hidden tag on the second page.
Basically my journalling is my personal story of why I love Noddy - because of Mum. We have all been dressed as Noddy for various fancy dress things......... Mum always dressed as Noddy at her school on fancy dress days ........ Mum collected Noddy things ........ Noddy brings back SO many fond childhood memories! So I rambled on as I do.
I also had a flap that pulled down documenting where the Gollywogs are now and why they have been removed - but I won't go into that!!!
And then I received Susans Fab CJ - "Wonders of Winter" (Rules Blues and silver colour theme no photos)
This one really "got me"
Susan had started it SO beautifully - and Sue had added stunning pages .... and then Nick ...... and I was stumped for an idea of what to do!
Snowflakes, Snowmen had already been covered so beautifully that I had to THINK!
Then I remembered that Susan is ace at adding recipes to our forum and that she had shared a superb Winter recipe so Off I went ......... and included her own recipe and one for Mulled wine!
One recipe was added in an accordian style booklet - the other as a Tag booklet in pocket!
And I am sorry but I clean forgot to photograph my pages in Jackies "Nostalgia" Book!!!!
If I can get hold of any I will update another time xxxx
Thanks for reading this far if you have - and all those who have left comments previously - I will visit your blogs for a catch up and return the favour over the weekend xxxxx
Love and Hugs

12 x 12 Paper Storage Box






OK so I mentioned I had made this so thought I would share
12 x 12 paper can be a NIGHTMARE to store - of course not for me I have 2 fabby paper racks.........
BUT they cost loads and are only really worth having if you have LOADS of paper (which I might just have!)

A while back I was having a cuppa with my mate Sue (Bless her she only has ONE paper rack - poor thing x) Anyway we were discussing said paper and the fact that she was running out of room .......... so we botched up a Persil Washing Powder box into a very quick makeshift storage box. I have to say as a joint effort it really was naff - BUT it did the job (and is still standing which I bet this one won't be within a week!).

Last week i was at Sues having yet another cuppa and her Mum dropped by - the FABULOUS Greta. Now Greta really is a craft orphan when It comes to paper storage - she has NO paper racks ........ and it was decided that she needed some way of storing her lovely papers rather than just in a "Pile". (I will add though that this is the ONLY area in which Greta can be called a craft orphan - I am still in shock at her fabby craft room!!)
SO at the weekend I nearly binned a box I found - but then thought "AHA A storage box for Greta"! So I played and the pic above is the result.
I have to say it is much better made than mine and Sue's first effort........... I lined it and everything ...........
BUT then only the best for the wonderful Greta - I am secretly hoping she will adopt me xxxxx

SO technique for anyone wanting to make one ................

Find a box, cut it up, cover it in stuff xxxxxx

OUCH!!!!!!

OK no pics today - had an eventful Bex day and camera is at work still ............

So the ouch - I think I need LOTS of sympathy please.
Had a sore ear for a few days - OK so my doctor REALLY LIED when they said the teeny tiny cyst behind my ear was not a problem. So I trusted the Doc and Me and Sid the Cyst have lived QUITE happily for the last few years.

I have NO IDEA what I did to make him so angry but last night he went on one and decided to GROW.
Naff nights sleep in pain ........ but I soldiered on and went into work this morning. (I am gearing this up for mega sympathy by the way).
Anyway I moaned a bit this morning to work mates who admired Sid and said yes he did look angry ............
By 11 ish Sid had got LIVID. Ear was inflated to rather large proportions and I felt like I could actually do a Van Gogh and cut it off.

Anyway - by 1pm Sid was upsetting a few people sitting behind me who had a good view of him. He was indeed getting larger ................... and I was actually near tears in pain ........ (remember I need sympathy). SO my boss said as Sid was upsetting members of the team with his anger I really should go to casualty and get Sid sorted. (GP had no appointments)
So off I trot. And don't you hate these places? People are there with limbs falling off and puking everywhere and obviously ill - and I just have an angry Sid.

Anyway - they were lovely and totally understood why i was in so much pain .........
One HUGE needle and LOTS of pain later and Sid was drained and the pain was gone.

Of course I then went immediately round to my mate Sue for Tea and sympathy - BUT I have to say the sympathy was lacking - so bring it on please.

OH and Sid is not impressed at his treatment and is growing again at an almighty pace = and it really is gross what comes out with one little squidge!!!!!! Sid is not gonna win - he can shout and scream all he likes - he has a hole in him now and is doomed x
Lets hope these super dooper anti biotics see Sid off for good - cos he aint my mate anymore xxxxxxx

There - A lovely craft related post for you all after promising more pics today!!!!!!
OOH I could do a pic of Sid for you ...................

Love Bex xxxx (Needing sympathy - did i mention that??)

I AM SO EXCITED AND HAPPY!!!!!!


OK Folks get ready for crafting OVERLOAD.
The project I have been working on for ages is now finished and I can finally reveal my first Circle Journal!!!!
I am SO excited.
My team really have done an AMAZING job ..........
AND this little baby has so many things to open and see more - SO for the next few days I will focus on one page and open all the ribboned pages etc - cos these girls are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
Oh and as always pics taken in dark (BUT I am taking CJ to work tomorrow and camera and will do the girls justice for the daily reveals). xxxxxx

I chose the subject of ADVICE. (Yeah what a corker - knew it would give me some giggles!)
Oh and to add a twist I also set the theme of doing it in the order of the colours of the rainbow.
So I created the front cover above - and then the welcome and rules pages .......



















I then had to start by doing the first pages - And so I was "Red" .............










And then I posted the book on to Jackie for her to add her "Orange" Pages .............











And then Jackie posted on to Susan to do the "Yellow" page .......... (AND this little baby has LOTS of detail behind doors you need to see!)












Then the journal was posted to the fabulous Sue for her "Green" effort ............ (AND I so should have put money on Sue being a smart arse and making it rude!!!!!! You will have to check back - another one that needs "doors" opening!!)












And then my baby headed to Nick for the BLUE pages ............ (Again detailed pics required!)













And of course everyone signed in to the pages that I had created at the start!




I have to say a VERY big thankyou to my team mates - I am SO happy with my completed Journal. You have all done an amazing job and obviously put a lot of time, love and attention into your pages. I am just totally humbled .................................
Love Bex xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Uh Oh - I got Tagged - TWICE

And these things do sort of do my head in if I am honest - BUT then in return I can do other peoples heads in so hey ho - sort of ok ....... but still naff ...........
Reckon we should get Delbut to start a tag going - now that WOULD be fun!!!!!

SO This tag seems very random to me but here goes

1. Find the nearest book
What - you think i am intellectual - think again.
I actually gave ALL my books to the charity shop when I moved recently ......... I did however buy one from the Charity shop at Christmas for display purposes at a craft event - AND I MIGHT ADD - I have just trekked out to the shed to find it.

2. Name the book & the author
OK So John Grisham - The Testament (Think i have read this but will start it again tonight cos it was cold out there finding it in my PJ's so it owes me now.)

3.Turn to page 123.
Yeah come on I am getting bored now .......................

4. Go to the 5th sentence on the page & copy out the next three sentences onto your blog.
OMG I think they are serious too - not quite sure how this is remotely interesting but not brave enough to defy the power of the "tag" So here goes .............

For the first time it occurred to Nate that maybe troy had been crazy afterall. Would a rational, lucid mind give eleven billion dollars to a person who had no interest in wealth? A person practically unknown to everyone, including the one signing the hand-scrawled will?

Bet you are all rushing out to buy this now eh???????? In fact shall I bother to read it?????

5. Tag 3 more people ..............
OMG Do I have to? What will happen to me if I defy the laws of Tagging? Will I be sent to the eternal bog of stench??????

So just for a laugh I will tag Delbut, Suesjoy and NeilbyMouth

And will see if they ever find this and respond ........... don't hold yer breath though!!!!

Will be back with more interesting blog - erm - erm when? Let me think - SOON!!!!

Love Bexster xxxxxxxxxx

Another Monday ..........

Unlike my sister who views Mondays as "ACE" and a chance to get going with things - I HATE THEM!!!!!
Firstly I had a lovely weekend - so Monday coming round is harsh. Back to work and all - but Monday is done now so I am happy Bex!
My Dad, his wife and her son came up yesterday and the wisdom that is Bex thought I would plan a "day out". Now when i say plan I actually mean a last minute idea with no research behind it at all.................... VERY against the grain for my Dad who plans stuff with military precision
So they all arrive and off we go headed for Woburn Safari Park. (Bex has clocked the craft fair is on there so has to be good right????)
So we do the "Dad" thing of having to go and buy a picnic lunch .......... so I trek miles out of the way to Sainsburies and we buy it .............. and off we go with Bex navigating. As we get back to my house from getting food and start the journey I remember there is a supermarket on the way - oopsy.
So back to Bex navigating ............. I have a vague idea of where it is cos I got lost round there recently ......... this info does not go down well with Dad when we are half way there and I am getting more vague.
THANKYOU for the sudden appearance of the Brown Elephant signs!!!!!!
Get there no problem ......... and it is PACKED. SO OK I DID NOT THINK ABOUT REDUCED ADMISSION FEES COS OF CRAFT FAIR!
So the apparently "45 minutes safari drive" takes 2 and a half hours - and what is Bex to do????
Well of course I MOANED. And my step brother Karl quite happily played the back seat kids moaning game with me. It was actually a real laugh to be in our 30's and TOTALLY winding up the parents!

Had a few funny moments - like me being so starving I manage to squeeze into the boot to salvage picnic - not allowed to get out of car due to lions and tigers and bears ............ (OH MY!) Yes we did play that game too ..............
Had a VERY scary moment when we were totally gridlocked with traffic and a HUGE male Lion was at my window STARING at me and my ham sarnie. Nearly poo'd my pants. No Pic cos I was FAR too scared to move ............. what a total wuss - It was only a Lion .................. with a wee bit of glass in a VW between him and me ............

The "Bears" however chose not to read the signs that are everywhere telling people that they like to nick wingmirrors ........... I SO wanted them to nick Dads but nah they were too busy climbing trees and sleeping ............
The monkeys were also on best behaviour - bet they wouldn't have been if we had taken my car ...............

Then this evening I have been out for dinner with my mate Sues 2 boys and her Mum. We had an ace time - ate FAR too much Pizza, ice cream etc. I reckon her youngest even has the potential to puke tonight perhaps. (No problemo - he is safely deposited home with his Grandma Greta!!! And my phone is now off ...................) x Sorry Greta but as discussed I don't do the aftermath - just the planning!! xx
Mind you this is a VERY feeble effort as i was planning to totally corrupt them whilst Sue was away - oh well I have 5 days still ...............

So rambling Bex with tummy FULL of pizza and cheesecake is off to bed xxxx

OH AND EM - I am cracking up at your comments on my photography - the recipe is simple.
NEVER clean camera lense, only decide to use camera after 10pm when it is dark, turn off flash.
Hey presto naff pics!!!!!

Glad to be of help

Love Bex xxxxxxxxxxxxx

THANKS MAISIE!!!!!

Cute pic of sleeping dog ........... or is it!
OK So one hour ago I go upstairs to have a soak in the bath.
I decide to leave Maisie downstairs as she does like to cause chaos by trying to get in the tub with me - which is NOT gonna happen.
In retaliation she has a "Maisie moment". I could hear the chaos and scrambling round downstairs but chose to shut it out.
NOW OK she looks cute but can we survey what this picture tells she has been up to please ...........

The cushion she is asleep on actually belongs on the sofa - not on the doorway between dining room and kitchen.
The mat belongs by the back door ...........
Bagpuss belongs in HER BED (IE, yes she has a bed and has no need to create one whilst I am MIA for like a whole hour)
The blue 12 x 12 paper - well obviously it belongs on my paper rack - BUT I will let her off this one as it is my "old stock" so one less sheet to use up.
The T Towel quite obviously belongs on the hook designed for T towels in the kitchen.

BUT even I can't be bothered to wake her and tell her off when she is this fast asleep ......... and I am typing away and she is sparko ........... I suppose that was a lot of work for such a tiny dog. And yes that is a normal cushion and she is teeny tiny!!!!!!

Right off to get ready for a nice early night - have family coming this weekend and I think we are going to Woburn Safari Park on Sunday - Dad loves Lions - I LOVE craft fairs (Nice event on there this weekend) Oh dear I think I may have forgotten to mention that to Dad ...............

Ah well such is life lol

Love Bex xxxxx

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Hello Happy Tuesday!

So what is new I hear you ask - Please post something interesting I hear you ask ..........
Not likely - this is me remember!!!!!
SO OK although it is dark i thought I would do a trial run photoshoot of Maisie to scrap.
What have i learnt .......... well I could have the best camera, the best lighting ............ but it seems poor Maisie only has one facial expression - I am calling it "Rabbit in headlights suffering from depression".

Just what is it with spaniels!!!!! I will try again though at the park at the weekend cos she does come to life a bit then!!!!!
So what else have I been up to ........... well I have a few plans in the pipeline for my plans for craft world domination - and hopefully all being well a new site will be launched in the next two weeks. That is if work allows me to come home and finish what I am working on!!!!

Apart from that I am on a personal mission to USE loads of stuff.
I have SO much paper, ribbons etc that are all perfectly useable but have been superceeded with new releases etc. SO the main task at the moment is to churn out masses of cards that are quick and easy using up papers that I want shot of ............... cos they have been around for FAR too long.




So far work have been buying them cheap like hotcakes so just need to keep the production up and Bex will have more pennies, less craft goodies - and a license to buy more. Although I am putting myself on a spending ban till I have made at least 200 cards using old stock ...............

So here are SIMPLE cards using up stuff I have FAR too much of!!!! (Although I sort of lie as one of these uses new paper ......... call the cyber police!!!!)

Ah well lock me up eh - I could do with a holiday!!!
Love to you all xxxxxx Bex

Late night Bexster

Hiya all

Just a hello from me really as I unwind from a late shift working................

I do love my Saturday job of waitressing but BOY was tonight hard work.
LOADS of tables - the restaurant was packed from 5pm .......... people had to wait 2 hours for tables - so a busy night.
And my feet are really throbbing which is unusual - I have in fact worked hard!!!!!

AND i am now almost ready for sleep = always takes me an hour to unwind when I get in.
But thought I would do a random Bex hello before I hit the sack xxxxxx
Hope you are all well and will post again tomorrow night with proper updates etc etc

Love Bex

Crazy Snow World

Well erm yes it did snow.
A LITTLE bit!! Dunno - no more than about 4 inches I reckon

AND what is the UK like!!!!!!
Went to work Thursday and only 20% of the office turned up - and most of them live within a mile - I managed it and I am 6 miles away ...............
Got let off 32 minutes early though as a reward - erm THANKS!!!!!!
Most schools closed ............ trains, roads grind to a halt ......... BUT I don't see the point in discussing it - us Brits are crap when it comes to little "weather hiccups" I mean the trouble the leaves falling off the trees this autumn caused - crikes British Rail didn't know what had hit em! Good job the leaves don't fall off every year eh?? ...............................
SO back to "snowgate"
No sooner did it come - and pretty it looked initially - but soon turned to black slush muck and now there is not really any left.
Maisie LOVED it and ran around the garden shoving her head in it - she is strange .........

Me - well I find it inconvenient and it doesn't help to be at work and have email updates of snowball fights in the street and much fun from my mate Sue. I could have done with a day "playing" like a kid again!!!!!

SO what else in new in Bex world - well not a lot to be honest!!! Work tomorrow and Bex day on Sunday. So Sunday will be perhaps a day to stay in PJ's and be a slob and craft.
I need to up my game if world domination is going to happen any time soon.
Perhaps I will challenge myself to blog daily for a week ...............................

We'll see xxxxx Not sure my life is interesting enough!

Love Bex

SNOW????

Who knows
Apparently this neck of the woods is about to grind to a halt with an overnight snow fall of between 5 and 7 inches
BLIMEY you would not believe the hype on local radios etc about the chaos it will cause

It does make me wonder how countries like Canada survive .......................

SO I am off to bed hoping secretly that he snow does appear seeing as work have blatantly said they do not expect me to be able to get in tomorrow ...........

OK erm 5 miles away on main roads - BUT HEY I will buy it as an excuse as it has been offered to me on a plate!!! AND work from home I can SO do that!!!!!

SO sweet dreams all - and pray for the token annual snowfall that grinds the UK to a halt for 3 days each year xxxxxxx
Back very soon as I have many photos to share when I find daylight hours!
Love Bex

Sunday .............

And I am not moaning and am human and normal Bex again - Well i think I am anyway!
Weekend has been pretty hectic.
I seemed to potter around doing mundane jobs like banking and telephone calls yesterday then had to work ........... got home about midnight and took a while to feel tired.
Was bad and had a nice lie in today until 11!! Was awake from about 9 but it was nice to snuggle up and watch drivvle on TV with my little Maisie!

Then went in psycho Bex overdrive and have been mega cleaning.
Scrubbed floors, windows you name it!!!

So now am bathed and in PJ's and planning to make a SB LO or some Valentines cards or something for a few hours before the working week begins again - how does it come round so soon eh?????? Ah that would be cos I only have one day off!!!!!

Anyhow - only a quick shout out "HI" from me.
Will update during the week with some piccies and more drivvle
Hope you are all well

Love Bex xxxxxx

Weekend!!!!!!!!!

Thank Goodness!!
I am SO tired I cannot function properly - this working lark is NOT good for my health!!!
Today was the LONGEST working day ever. Started at 8.30 as usual and by 9.30 was moaning GOOD and proper that surely it was lunch time!
Honestly - no idea why it went SO slow as I had LOADS of work to do and loads of arguments to have with idiots that can't do their jobs ........... well OK that is not fair - they can do their job - they just have trouble counting up to 24 ................ and adding 10 and 10 together seems an issue too .....................

SO basically I moaned all day. And then I moaned some more when the Friday afternoon donuts failed to appear. I mean - I NEED those donuts. I was really NOT impressed I can tell you.
I was on the verge of wasting away. One HUGE ham and cheese Tiger roll at 11.30 followed by a sausage sarnie at 1.30 - then crisps at 3 is really NOT enough to keep me going.

AND then I got a smart arse comment when I got ready to leave at 5.24 ........... jeez 6 minutes early. I actually got questioned to "Use my own judgement in deciding whether it was appropriate to finish" I promptly informed them that I had done approximately 3 hours more work than them due to their pissing about and play fighting .............. So yes fully appropriate - in fact I should have left earlier. I am such a LOUD mouth. Ness would have been proud (she was off sick today - maybe why the day was so dull!!!!!)

But hey nuff moaning (all in jest btw I am totally fine!) Today was good in that I handed over a few commissioned cards - and got asked for 4 more ................. BUT OK I AM GONNA MOAN AGAIN - I have a LIST of stuff to make. I don't wanna be doing more cards for people.
OK Have you got up to speed yet - I am on a moan evening. Grumpy overtired - not impressed that I have to work again tomorrow.

Right lets change subject - LOTS to be excited about.
The totally unorganised Bex has a list of stuff to do.
I need to .......................
Do a page in Susans Circle Journal - theme Wonders of Winter and so far it is STUNNING.
I need to do 2 ATC's for Wendys challenge - first time trying them so should be fun
Scrap stars are having a cyber crop this weekend so no doubt something will catch my eye.
Lise has organised a "Book of favourite things" challenge which i have signed up to
Carol posted the most fabby project for making storage drawers which is tempting
Em has challenged a SB LO to include 3 hearts .......... and different fonts etc
And Ems over at SS has challenged us to take a pic of ourselves in the mirror (This one will take all month I feel!!!!)
Oh and a box of Valentines cards for both jobs too -might as well!

So I have LOADS to crack on with and will upload piccies as soon as things take shape and are done xxxxxxxx
Oh and good news from Bex too - for the first time in my life - and in a moment of madness I submitted one of my layouts to a magazine - and they responded the next day saying they would like to publish it along with editorial - OOH CHECK ME OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Right I am actually going to be a sad sack and go to bed as i am SO tired I could actually cry!!!
Pathetic!
I hope you are all well xxxxxxx And ooh if you wanna moan you have a 24 hour license to do so (I don't normally tolerate moaning but as I am in moan zone feel free!!!!)
Love Bex xxxxxx

Still Playing!!!!


I have decided to start an Album of my nephew Liam.
He is so treasured within our family and is such an adorable little 6 year old boy. I love him to pieces.
So OK - I have 6 years to catch up on - but got to start somewhere!
So this is the starting point! Apologies for bad pic - but the light has gone now and I won't see it in this house again till Saturday .......... roll on Summer!
Sarah and Liam went to see Santa in Lapland this year and I started by printing off 4 pics.
Got a bit carried away with the old embellishing so think it will have to add another page and turn it into a double layout .................. cos obviously we need pics of the reindeer, Santas House, the Sled rides etc .
I have to say I LOVED Liams letter he gave to the "Real" Santa. It reads:
"Dear Santa, I would like a cute ginger and white dog. And a brown monkey and a fishermans outfit for bear. Love Liam"
Clever Sarah photographed it before it was handed over to Santa so have been able to add a pic of it to the layout. Crikes Liam will cringe when he is older!
Sarah did panic for a moment that Liam was seeing the real Santa and was seeming to be asking for a dog (that sounds incredibly like my dog!) ................ but it turned out he is going through a cuddly toy phase so Santa was able to deliver the list! PHEW ...................
So all in all I have had a lovely Sunday playing ............ Off to have a soak in the bath now and get into PJ's and sadly will have a week of work to be done before I can have another crafty day .......... ALTHOUGH I do of course have evenings - if I get organised!
Love and Hugs to all
Love Bex xxxxxx
