public for a day or so..

My blog is only open to the public for a day or so as I am posting about something regarding my blog in a forum I belong to. After that it will return to being private with the limited number of readers that were reading before yesterday.

House move!!!!




The other morning I was about to get into the shower when the power in our house went off. At first I thought it was the workmen outside doing something outside, but when I looked out of the front window, I saw Fortis were in our yard - I knew they were due to come and cut down the trees by our electric wires, so I thought maybe thats what they were up to! Then I noticed a HUGE grey thing in the road and realised they were removing the wires across the road so that a house could be moved along the road!!! How neat!

Sam and I grabbed the camera and sat in the bedroom window to watch the action! They worked really fast to get the wires down and move the truck slowly down the road and then get the wires back up and running! We were only without power for about 8 minutes!!! And totally worth it to see such a HUGE object being moved down such a small quiet rural lane.

Don't forget you can click on the piccies to see them bigger!!! :)

And one I made at home....


.......using the kit Tess sent me home with.....but with my own stamps, ribbon etc.....

Christmas card making on World Card Making Day!!





Last night I was invited to a Stampin Up party at Staceys house - Stacey writes the 'Mollys People' blog (link to right) so I was thrilled to be invited and finally get to meet Stacey!!! Actually (sorry Stacey) I was even more thrilled to meet Molly! hahahaha who is the SWEETEST ever little dog!!! I am not a fan of little dogs at ALL! I like BIG dogs! So I was quite surprised at how much little Molly won my heart last night! But Stacey has a new dog named Cooper (a Basset Hound with those gorgeous Sad Sam eyes and those droopy big ears - who is also gorgeous but poor Molly is feeling very upset! So Molly spent a lot of time with her head on my knee getting her chin stroked!

My (wonderful (AMAZING) sweetheart of a) friend, Tess was running the party and taught a class on making Christmas cards, and we each got to make the above cards - I left at 10:30 and the others were still making cards (which I am going to make in a few minutes) but I am thrilled with the ones I made - which look so much better in real life because the pictures I took of them are terrible - I took them in the window without the flash and I'm too lazy to do retakes!

Stacey, thanks so much for having me over last night! It was so lovely to meet you at last :) But really, you HAVE to stop giving those poor children those special 'vitamins' ;)
