On Saturday morning me and the Flip Flop even had a bit of time to decorate some gingerbread men
We also got stuck into some paper crafts at the end of last week, before we went away. Caoimhe seems to enjoy using mummy's 'sheen'. which is what she calls my Big Shot, so we spent a happy hour making hearts, stars and flowers. In true Domestic Goddess mode, I did a bit of recycling, and used the pages of my Next Directory:
Waste not, want not!
We used some of the flowers to make a card for Auntie Cathy, the rest have gone into the tub for another messy play day.
And as promised, here are a couple of pictures of cards from birthdays now gone:
Both cards made use of my new stamps, I need a lot more practice, but have found them fun to use.
(ps Sharon, you're gonna have to wait to see yours!)
Just time to remind you all that since it's Monday, don't forget to have a look at all the other lovely websites linked up on Wendy's blog for Handmade Monday
Til next time!

I assume Lurgy is like a cold? Ya'll can make everything sound almost pleasant! :) I hope you are all well soon.
I do love cutting things (I use a Cricut) out of catalogs! Makes such pretty letters and shapes and I feel better about not wasting all of that paper. Wish I had been into all of this when my boys are little, I imagine they too would have been enthralled. I enjoy reading your blog, it always reminds me how fun it was having little ones around. Well, except of the "lurgy". :)
Lovely cards and love the sound of "Mummy's sheen" - how sweet. LOL, Susie, at the lurgy sounding almost pleasant! x
Love the new stamps, they work so well. Hope that you make a speedy recovery from your family sniffles!
Oh No! Not the dreaded 'Snot Fairy'! Hope you're all on the mend soon. Nothing like a bit of gluey fun to make you feel better!

So pleased the trip to York went well, sorry about the runny nose ending though, hope it clears soon. Loved the gingerbread men. Long time since I did them.

What a fantastic idea, using catalogues as decorative papers
The paper flowers are lovely, a great idea - a good bit of recycling. Hope everyone is now feeling better.
Love the idea of using the Next Directory for crafting. Why didn't I think of that...!!!
Aww how sweet:) I think there is a bug going around even I've been hit by it - just about getting over it. I love recycling paper - paper beads are great to - cut up different sized triangles,roll them up and string them up. Hope you all feel better soon,
