Problems with my blog today

Today I tried to post on here and Mozilla wouldn't let me upload anything, then my Photobucket slideshows had disappeared.
SO I deleted the post, have found my original post in my saved files on the computer and here goes again.
I'm trying Internet Explorer for this attempt and I'll try to upload the pictures again.

Here's what the original post said -
Today I managed a little crafting between trying to tidy the house and baking cookies for the football match tomorrow.

Recently, I went to the opticians and they were throwing out a lovely little box, I told them it was criminal to throw such a sweet box away, anyway I rescued it, brought it home and put it on my desk.
After a little thought and a mega search through my papers I found what I was looking for and decorated the top and sides with my beautiful black and white papers. I then added a length of lush red ribbon, tied a bow that turned out right the first time of trying and added 6 little flower buttons to the ends.
I'm really pleased with the results and the fact that it holds all of my sakura pens so I can use them, instead of them being stuffed in the cupboard in a scrappy bag.

Time For A Change

I've been blog hopping a lot over the past few weeks and have decided that mine was looking unloved AGAIN!

So I've had a good look round and have decied that this time I'll go for shades of blue and mustard - well I guess that's the colour.

After a long time of being green and orange I must confess to being a bit bored with it so I popped over to ALL of the free backgound sites and looked and looked until I found this one - now that I think about it it may even be the one I had when I first started blogging!
I'll need to find a pretty new banner to add to the end of my posts now but that shouldn't be too difficult.

Some cards I made today

Hello again,

I have been playing with my movers and shapers dies today, I bought them last Christmas but had been today I would have to have a crease pad before I used them. I decided to just wait to see if the pads became cheaper as I think they are very expensive, well today I thought why not give it a go without the pad and GUESS WHAT? it works just as well without it.

Card 1 - My daughter bought me the flowers as part of my Christmas present.

 Card 2 - On this one I just turned the die around to see what it would look like.

Card 3 - I used some spare flowers I had made and decided to use the off-cut squares in the inside of the card. I'm still not sure on this one.

My magic pots - I was given a large box of 60ml clear pots and lids, so I had a good sort out and now all my brads and gems are sorted into colours and stored tidily in the box my daughter gave me for Christmas.

ATC Wallet

I have received some very beautiful creations from some lovely friends on Docrafts over the past 12 months.

We each took a turn at setting a theme, unfortunately I didn't think to make myself an ATC for each month to add to my collection, but I guess I could make one now that I've thought about it.

I did make one for the last posting but I can't put it on here yet as the eight cards and a little surprise are about to wing their way across the world and all over the UK.

Some of the photographs are not very clear but I will try to take more soon.

Time For A Tidy Up

Hello again,

Well today I decided that my poor old blog was looking pretty unloved, so I found another really pretty background, took off the Advent Countdown and my Virtual Cat.

Hopefully soon I'll be able to post pictures of my December ATC's and the packaging I have made to send them in, as the people who they are for might pop in to have a peek at this post I'd better wait until they have them to be able to put pictures up.

We've had a pretty quiet Christmas with just the four of us during Christmas Day, but the boys arrived later that night and were very excited by their new presents. They will be here again in a while so I'd better go and sort out something for us all to eat.

It's Snow Joke

I'm fed up of the white stuff sprinkled everywhere.

I find it hard to understand how anybody can get excited about it and ........... we've had far too much of it this year already.

I still have a few more things to buy before the weekend, mostly shopping I think I'll finally be organised by Firday evening.

The boys will be here late on Christmas Day, so we'll have our Christmas on Boxing Day - they have said they're staying for 100 days, this is according to George, who is 4, but I think 4 or 5 days will be ok.

Thankfully tonight is haircut night - I look like a scarecrow!!! I rang my hairdresser and said 'I'll understand if it's too snowy to come out' she said ' No, the main roads are fine' so by tomorrow I think I might look human again.

Well I ought to get back to sorting my house out ready for present wrapping later.

If I don't get time to post again soon have a lovely and peaceful Christmas and I wish you all a Healthy, Happy and Crafty New Year
