Why are you cast down, O my inner self? And why should you moan over me and be disquieted within me? Hope in God and wait expectantly for Him, for I shall yet praise Him, Who is the help of my [sad] countenance, and my God. —Psalm 43:5

Challenge card


Another post today! This is my first entry to the Crafty Catz challenge and they are also having a DT call, which I am hoping to be considered for.

My card was made using ' More for the Men' Funky Fairy paper and sweet image was sent to me. The image was coloured with watercolours and the celebrate was computer generated. Hope you like it.

Great news Tim Holtz is doing his 12 Tags of Christmas again!!! Can't wait for the 1st December. It can not be missed and lots of prizes will be up for grabs.

Having faith in God should open our minds to people and the world around us as the verse below tell us. Hoping that today we will all open our minds.

Craft Fair

My hand-painted ornaments

Hello and thank you for all the lovely comments you have been leaving. All those who wished me well at my Craft Fair, a huge thank you.

You can see a photo of my table with some of the items I made. Just added a photo of the ornaments I painted. My cards did not sell very well but the non-card items did ok. Most importantly I had a wonderful time getting to meet the people in my village. The event was organized by two lovely ladies Sarah and Marjorie. Looking forward to the next one.

Will post some more photos later.


Funky Fairys Competition!

Now, it's only 2 days away until the new look blog will be shown to you all and I thought it would be fun to have another small competition. OK, today's question is . . . "Name 3 members on the "Fab 'n' Funky" DT". A nice simple question but you better be quick as the winner will be picked at 11pm TONIGHT ! The winner will receive another mystery package but I can guarantee it will be a FAB mystery prize.
Go to the Funky Fairys challenge blog and leave your answers.

Good Luck!

Just to share....

. . . . some of the things happening !

We have been busy redesigning the blog and the new banner . . . us girlies have agreed on the new blogs name. Now can you guess what the blogs re-amped name will be? There was a clue on Wednesday's post and there is another clue in today's post. How wicked are we?

There will be a mystery "prize" for the correct person who guesses the new Challenge Blogs name and you have up to Sunday to comment with your ideas on the Funky Fairys challenge post.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Aother challenge!


Had this image coloured but did not know what to do with it until I saw the challenge theme at My Time to Craft : ' Under my Umbrella'. This image was sent to me. Paper came free with a magazine and the sentiment is from Elusive Images (I believe).
