AAAARRRGHHH - Have you ever......

Have you ever got up early in the morning, crept downstairs trying dilligently not to wake the sleeping beauties up. You don't turn on the light, because you don't want to be blinded and then you are thrown into a state of hysteria as you realise you are treading in slime and find an invasion of elongated slugs taking over your kitchen floor ..... well that's what happened to me this morning. Everyone then awoke !! only the dog decided that going back to sleep would be a good idea. Anyway, thought I'd upload a couple of recent samples that winged their way over to Elusive Images.

An Award

A [Wild] WYLDE Woman!

Purpose of the Award: To send love and acknowledgement to women who brighten your day, teach you new things and live their lives fully with generosity and joy.


After returning home from a break I used to look forward to opening my post but this year I couldn't wait to get back and open my emails etc. To my delight I found out that I had ben given this award by one fabulous diva who I can also confirm will be published on the front cover of October's Craft Stamper magazine. Pop over to her blog for some true inspiration. Thank You Lynne! http://inkyartitude.blogspot.com/





There are only two rules:1. You can give it to one or one hundred or any number in between - it’s up to you. Make sure you link to their site in your post.
2. Link back to this blog site (http://tammyvitale.typepad.com/) so I can go visit all these wonderful women.






Like Lynne I had to go and spend some time looking at some of the links and have found some pretty amazing women out there. Now I shall have to think hard as to who to pass the award onto. The thinking cap is on as there are so many possibilities

New Christmas Stamps from Graphicus

I've been honoured to have been playing with these stamps for a little while now and how fantastic are they. I have yet to feel that I've made a boo boo with them. Glenda over at http://www.graphicus.co.uk/ has done an amazing job - you can pop over there and add them to your stash, 100% stamping satisfaction

As Promised

Yesterday we spent a warm, sunny afternoon crafting at Crafty Corner, South Shields - a bit of a find for those with Crafty Inclinations!!! Check out their site at info@craftycorneruk.com While we were crafting - this is what the kids did to their fab DAD. I'm not sure who had more fun!!!

The Dog Does Craft TV

Yes this is the dog attempting to join in a crafty time that we were having recently. It's difficult to know where to start really with this hound as she is a law unto herself. Kuilty, rhymes with guilty, has to be involved with everything. One of her more famous claims to fame is that she once opened a packet of 4000 3d foam pads and wore them like Joseph's technicolour dream coat. After she tired of wearing them she them walked them round the house, sticking them to the wood floor. Guess who spent an afternoon clearing up!!

Cuttlebug Playtime

Spent today playing with some cuttlebug embossing folders ..... I was supposed to be making a six tier wedding cake (from paper - cuttlebug style) for my godson's wedding in August but got slightly distracted while waiting for some glues to dry. I will post a piccy of the cake but it will have to wait until after the wedding as it is a surprise for the Bride & Groom!!!!
Anyway back to the cards....
