Little Lacey

Hello me lovelies

I got up this morning to a cold & wet day...just i thought, as every time i think right got to get some washing done it decides to rain but at least i wont have to water the plants lol

Do you remember i told you i got my boys some tomatoes & cucumbers to plant...well they have been in their little propagator on the window sill in the kitchen, got up yesterday to shoots peeking through the soil & today they have come through nice...i did go to take a photo but my camera has ran out of charge so will have to wait till its charged....Connor & Adam are well over the moon with them :D

Back as promised with another card made with one of Jacqui's digis & you can get your hands on these gorgeous Digi's from The Poodles Digi Doodles

I used a cute little girl digi called Lacey, Lacey has some polka dot shorts & a matching bow in her hair so i thought I'd carry on the theme & used my Cuttlebug Swiss dots embossing folder....hopefully i haven't over done it with the polka dots!!!

Anyhoo here's the little cutie...

Hello me lovelies

Hello & Thanks to my new followers for following my little old blog...means a lot *Mmwah*

I haven't really done a great deal today except looking into buying a little plastic Growhouse....I think that's what they are called....mmmm...I'm sure they are, oh well never as you probably know what I'm on about anyway :o)

Anyhoo my 9 yr old called Adam has been doing some planting at school, his class are trying to grow pea's which i think it maybe for their school allotment plus it might be to do with a science project too....well he's absolutely loving it so he has asked me if we could grow some tomatoes, cucumbers, flowers & the list goes on...& on...& on...& on so i thought oh what the hell lets give it a go and see what happens :o/

so off i went to Range and bought some seed starter packs you can get with their very own little propagator and what a bargain they was only £1.50, all we need to do now is get them planted *fingers crossed* eh!!

(Will keep you updated on these)

Right onto tonight's card & as you can guess by the title....yes Ive done another Christmas card and a very bright one indeed, i used a Forever Friends Christmas clear stamp which is very versatile and can be used for birthday's etc

I'll show you the card so you can see for yourself......but please this does come with a WARNING and what I'm mean by this is....go & get yourself some sun glasses!!

Really bright...isn't it, quite blinding but i did warn you!!
