Happy Scrapping!

Good Afternoon to all

I've been out to Wantage this morning and I've bought some excellant stuff to use in my scrapbooks etc. I bought my blank covers and book rings for when I take part in my first CJ! Can't wait - it's exciting to try new things especially as I don't think I'm such a great crafter!

What else did I buy - some ATC blanks so I can design some of them but now I'm lacking in inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMMIT!

I've found a website where I can find maps of areas from centuries ago so can pin point exactly where my ancesters lived!! Hop over to http://hannahsancestry.blogspot.com to have a look!

That's all I'm gonna write for now. I'm going to look at more ATC inspiration and see if I can get some of my own!

Lovely day out but I have to work

I woke up a little later than I had planned to this morning as I had a ton of things to get done. Unfortunately I didn't even make it halfway through my list.

The main priority was to finish Tricia's present and then start on the million cards I need to make. Unfortunately I didn't finish the present or start the cards so that was unfortunate!

I have to go to work in a bit - catch the 12.38 bus and then start work at 1.30. I finish at 10 tonight so will be working hard on catch up of all things I needed to do then!

Tomorrow morning I'll be on and off but will definately be setting my alarm as I need to sort out my room enough for some shelves to be put up on Saturday once I've bought them. I shouldn't imagine I'll be online on Saturday as I should hopefully be in Ikea!

Claire e-mailed yesterday and she is coming home in June instead of September which I'm soooooooooo unbelievably happy about!

Family tree is going well.

All I want to do is throw open my window have the sunlight in and craft on what looks as though it's going to be a beautiful day. Unfortunately I have to go and work and deal with the fair tonight which means I will miss the lovely sun!

Hope everyone else is going to have much more fun than me!

Day Off

Today was my day off from work. It was nice. So much fun to be able to relax.

I made my grandads birthday card and did some more of my family tree. I've set up a blog to record my findings - http://hannahsancestry.blogspot.com - a member of UKScrappers helped me find a missing relative. I found the wife and the children and had the name of him and his year of birth and with that bit of information she found his name, where he was born, lived and his parents name!!!!!!! Read my other blog to find out more.

I met up with Siobhan and we went to my nan's we then went to Subway for food and then to the cinema to see Hortan Hears a Who - it was so funny. Now I'm home I'm going to work on my family tree blog and maybe to some scrapbooking etc later.

I have a few things to do first though!

Magicalness haha

I found a site through another ace blog that tells you what type of tarot card you are. I love Tarot - well I love anything spiritual and magical lol. I don't believe in God or any of that the world was made in 7 days and you need to confess and go to church every sunday to confess all and relinquish (spelling?) yourself of any sin you may have otherwise you won't go to heaven. What kind of lesson is that for kids. Don't have fun or you won't go to heaven???????? Don't think so some how!

Anyway here's what type of card I am!

You are The Magician

Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.

Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.

The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

I love it - I'm a magician!!!

Same old today - work til 10 come home and blog more or craft although I have a whole day of that tomorrow WOOOOOOOOO.

Must go and visit my nan as well. I forgot to give them their anniversary card that I made and it was on the 1st! Got lots of stuff to do. Want to finish my birthday book - and my paper bag book and everything else planned. Like Tricia's birthday present which is on the 16th. Then I need to start Sam's but it isn't til September so I can take my time over that!!!!

Well I'll post more later. Hopefully work will be more exciting today.

CyberCrop Challenges

Morning all

I've not done too much this morning other than catch up on my sleep, read e-mails, check websites and learnt the latest challenges for the UKS CyberCrop which should be really fun!

I still have to make my planner but now I have my craft stuff back from my brother I should be able to work on that one tonight and then tomorrow I can do my signature scent - I have to transform a bottle into what I think my own perfume bottle would look like!

I need to get a memory card for my camera before Saturday so that I can take it to West Midland Safari Park. If I get it today then I can photo my work that I create tomorrow and post them on UKS.

Tired and Bored

Well again today was a 6am get up day, went to work and that was that lol.

Finished at 12 and met my friend Ben to go to the cinema. We watched 27 Dresses. Ace Film. Been posting on a message board and getting replies from Lin Shaye herself!

What else have I been doing? Not much - sorting out my room and I'm gonna get to bed soon cos I'm shattered!

Toodles

A new layout

I think I've finally found a layout that I actually like. And although I created it so it sounds as though I'm bragging I do like the jigsaw piece at the top to represent the Piece of Me phrase!!!

Anyway just a quick entry before I go and get food before lunch. Dunno what to have though!

Can't wait til next Saturday as I'm going to West Midlands Safari Park. I need to get a new memory card for my camera as well so that I can take it with me and take hundreds of pictures!!!

I'm taking part in the UKS Cyber Crop although I can only be part of one full day and little bits on the Sunday. Unfortunately on the Friday when it starts I'm working and on the Sunday I'll be at work too! I'm not making any plans for the Saturday so that I can sit and craft although with my limited stash I don't think I'll have a lot of colour variation.
At least I might use some of the papers I've bought though - GASP use the papers!

I have some nice textured ones that as wierd as it sounds I just want to sit and stroke cos they have the nice velvety feel to them!

I'm thinking of new things to put in the side part of my blog as well!

Must go and get lunch!
