Friends are Forever....

I have been in a real stampin' mood the last couple of days & can't get to the ideas in my head quick enough, before loosing them.  I fnally found my old book of cards which I had started with yonks & yonks ago... so now I have heaps of ideas to take using great new papers, stamps, accessories!  They won't be looking like the ol' cards once I have revamped the sketches, etc.

I have made this card especially for "Miss DEAM" - opps "Mrs".  She will be thinking that I didn't get it when she signed off using the name the other day, but yep Deb, I did!  This is for you & should be receiving it the slow mail.  How long does mail take to get to Port Hedland?

Supplies -
Stamp Set - Eastern Blooms, Great Friend - see post below
Stamp Pads - Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red
Card Stock - Pink Piroutte, Whisper White

Poem

I just had to share this little poem which was emailed to me by a great friend....... 


Cleaning Poem


I asked the Lord to tell me
Why my house is such a mess
He asked if I'd been 'computering',
And I had to answer 'yes.'


He told me to get off my butt,
And tidy up the house.
And so I started cleaning up...
The smudges off my mouse.


I wiped and shined the topside.
That really did the trick...
I was just admiring my good work.
I didn't mean to 'click.'


But click, I did, and oops - I found
A real absorbing site
That I got SO way into it -
I was into it all night.


So nothing's changed except my mouse.
It's as shiny as the sun.
I guess my house will stay a mess.....
While I sit here on my bum.


Have a great night
Vicky

Welcome World!

Welcome to my new blog!

I hate to say it, but I had to begin again!  It has been so long since I last posted to my blog that I have completely forgotten all my details, including my usernamer AND password.  Yes, I know what you are all thinking, but crikey, I think I'm allowed, what with all the information we have to store in our heads these days, it is very easy to forget!

Anyhow, I hope to be adding projects, cards, tutorials, scrapbooking pages, information, etc daily.  My intentions are good, but...........

Until tmw

Miss Vicky
