Tinyrose's Craft Room

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors. 

How was your weekend? We went to a wedding reception on Saturday this had been delayed for 16 months and we all know why. The couple got married last October with 15 guests and lots of us watching online. Now it is their first wedding anniversary and it is time for a party. 

Have bought lots of new dies this year and I haven't been using them. I do find this rather annoying. I did try some out last Friday.

How is your week going? Today is the day we are going for our second jab. I will let you know how we get on. 

The May Rudolph Days Challenge has already started. This challenge runs from the 25th of the month until the last day of the month. I had to go back through my files to find a Christmas card I hadn't posted. I have been very busy and I haven't made any Christmas cards lately. I am hoping to get back on track. Here is what I found.

How is your week going? It is hard to believe that we have been in lockdown for a whole year. We are carrying on much the same. I have started working in the garden again. I am pretty sure we will be around to look after any plants again this year. My phone is starting to play up so I think an upgrade might be on the cards when we can go shopping again.

I love joining in with the Rudolph Days Challenge that runs every month up to December. It starts on 25th of the month and runs until the end of the month. This challenge keeps me on track with my Christmas cards.

How is your week going? I met a friend for a walk yesterday and we delivered Christmas cards as well. We bumped into someone we both used to work with and she told us she is being vaccinated today. So the vaccine is coming. Today me and my hubby are going to get our flu jabs. Yesterday there was an outage on Google which lasted about half an hour but was rather scary while it was going on. 

Today the new challenge starts at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are wonderful digi papers to be won.

 I have some personal news. I am stepping down from the Design Team for this Challenge. This will be my last post for them. I have enjoyed my time on the team and the papers are delightful to use. It is great as they are on my computer they are always easy to find. With my hubby being retired now finding time to craft is going to be harder. I am not giving up card making I still love making cards and it is my dream to have a Craft Room.

I hope you had a good lockdown weekend and have got your head round the new tier restrictions that are coming our way. What with bubble Christmas to look forward to there is a lot to think about and consider. Today is my hubby's last working day. He will be training his replacement. Yesterday he did spend a bit of time getting ready for this. Life is going to be a bit different for us. 

I am still making Christmas cards. I have no idea how many I will need this year. One of my hubby's first jobs will be to write our Christmas letter. Then we can sort the cards out and I will have an idea if I need to make anymore. I do have a couple of special ones I want to make. We did buy the stamps we need on Saturday.

I have just finished two weeks of invigilating. The kids we have worked with have been very good and have coped with the difficult circumstances we have all had to deal with. I am posting on a Saturday as I have some news that I have been sitting on for a while. 

Back in the summer I applied to be a Guest John Next Door Angel for the month of September. Well that didn't work out. A bit later on a received and email that I assumed would tell me that too many people had applied and that I hadn't made the cut. Well I was wrong I was given the chance to be a Guest Angel for November. In October I received my dies and I had a great time making cards with the Shutter cards die set and the Poppy Heads dies. 

The dies were released on Hochanda yesterday and they proved to be very popular. I tried to make a range of card with the dies to show how versatile they could be. 

I will start with the Christmas cards I made. All the dies and papers I used have been designed by John Lockwood aka John Next Door.

How is your week going? We are getting as much sorted here at home before we head off on Friday to help our daughter and son-in-law with their move. I think I will be mostly cleaning. Friday is also the day my husband finds out about his voluntary severance. I hope is it a good day. 

I was asked to make a 50th Anniversary card for a friend to give her husband. When I get a commission like this I usually make my own card to give the happy couple. 

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? The good news is that our daughter and son-in-law finally have a moving date. I think about two weeks after that they will be able to have the bunnies back. Then we can start working on the room they have been using  becoming  my craft room. 

The mid October Challenge has just started at the A Bit More Time to Craft Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes and there are beautiful digi papers on offer as prizes.

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How has your week been? The weather has been lovely. We have spent a lot of time in the garden again. It is good to make the most of it while the weather is so nice. 

I treated myself to three die set from the  new Christmas release from the John Next Door range. They are: Jane's Tree, Sam's Circles and Christmas Time. I used dies from all three of the sets to make this card.
