Quick Makes

The newest members of our family, meet Sandy and Snowflake.




Where has the day gone? started the day by visiting your blogs and leaving comments, then had to start work with Benjamin. He has been writing a story about being a bearded dragon! Yes you did read that right, we got 2 bearded dragons from the rescue centre at the weekend, we've named them Sandy and Snowflake. As you may or may not know we lost "Speedy" about a fortnight ago, he had suspected kidney failure. We were all very sad about losing him and the empty viv made it worse. Not any more though, with our new family members we are a complete family again! Not everyones cup of tea I know, and the saying our pets have a resemblance to their owners is somewhat worrying!

While Ben was writing I stamped up loads of images for friends, still have a few more to do but im finally catching up. My staz on pad needs re-inking so will do that before I continue.
Finally managed to make a couple of quick cards. I used some new Inkadinkado clear stamps. I love this naughty little images. Double click on image to see detail clearer. I don't know what the papers are, some monochromatic pad I brought from my local craft shop. Will be using some of the other stamps later, so watch this space.





Before I go I want to wish Tracey a happy birthday for today. I hope you have had a wonderful day with lots of nice things.

Great beardie photos Linda, and I like the card. I have some of those little stamps.

I don't think I am going to tell my son there is a rescue centre, not until he leaves home! It isn't that I don't like them it is just I ended up lizard sitting too often.
