Well ladies although i havn't had much time for crafting, these are some cards i made last weekend. This one is from the lovely funky kits , i love these images. The papers are from a RAK by Janina, thank you hunny, and im sending lots of hugs your way as i know you are very poorly. Ribbons are from my stash and the sentiment is from Anna-Marie designs.
Now this is a card using this weeks sketch on the birthday, x-mas card challenge and one of the very gorgeous downloads from Sally-Anns designs. Isn't it gorgeous?? You can't see from this picture put the cherry has been glittered and glazed, clearer by double clicking onto the image. Papers unknown, sorry!
Another one of the gorgeous images from Funky kits, this is glittered also but you will have to double click on the image to see it. 
Finally a rubber romance card, im loving this rubber romance images and such a pleasure to colour in.
So ladies, where does all this crafting stuff come from, thats what i want to know, and how did i forget about that gorgeous pad that i couldn't live without last month??!??!? does this sound familiar to any of you?
Not only have i been preparing for my move, but we also have some new additions to the family. We have 3 chickens! yes, we havn't named that yet, just "here chick, chick!" at the moment. They are very good chickens, the first two days we had them and they laid 3 eggs! oh and they taste so yummy. We are having another 3 in February a breed called meringue, they're a dark grey/black colour, very pretty, and who knows might get some nice feathers from them too for my card making!!

Anyway here they are, familiarizing themselves with their new home. Excuse the mess of the garden, something else that needs some attention this year!!
So i thought i would show you where i have had to rehouse some of my crafting stash! This is in my built it double wardrobe upstairs in our bedroom! Had to get rid of the clothes, a good excuse to spring clean, as half of them have shrunk and don't fit me!! stop laughing, they have shrunk, nothing to do with the chocolates or pastries over christmas!!!!
This is a small space i used beside my other wardrobes, believe me, i have to utilize every bit of space available!!
This is my craft room as it stands now, this bookshelf needs to fit into my new bookcase coming next week. Somehow i don't think its going to fit!!
There is also this,
and this
and i also have my 6 x 6 and 8 x 8 pads in boxes in the hallway , sorry no photo, and some things already in the conservatory. I am at a bit of a standstill right now as i thought it best to wait till the bookcases come, so i can see how much will fit into it. Then it might be more storage boxes in the loft, i have already put 3 up there. This is totally ridiculous right????! but im sure im not the only one like this?!
Well ladies, with most of the sorting done, im going to try and get round to some of your blogs and get my dt cards done for this weeks challenges. I am so sorry if i havn't visited you lately, i will be rectifying that this weekend.
Anyone wanting any peel offs please email me and ill send you some, no charge.
Well im off big hugs to you all. Linda x

ROFL, OMG Linda you must be crafting for Britain in there! I feel quite restrained now with my one Ikea shelf unit tee hee! Hope you get it all sorted and then settled in your conservatory which looks like a great space to work in, so light and airy. Your cards are all fabulous, such gorgeous stamps, colouring and papers, I love them all. The chickens are amazing, I've always wanted to have some, a country girl at heart here too. Have a great weekend. Chris x
Linda! You have a whole shop! That looks like a lot of work but I am sure it will be well worth it once it is all where it is meant to be. It will be fabulous crafting in the conservatory with all that natural light!

Wow, Linda! I thought I had alot of stuff! How exciting to be moving into a new space though. It's great to have a clear-out and tidy though, it makes you feel doubly inspired.
I did email you in the week- maybe it went in junk? Sorry, though, as I was having a really bad day that day. Dad has just had 4th day of radiotherapy and it's taking its toll but we are trying to stay positive. x
Wow!
I love your crafting space!
And the cards looks so good!
Love your work!
Have a nice weekend!
Hugs

Fab cards Linda - lovely to see you working at last - lol...xx
My, my - you have a whole craft shop there! I did have loads once but gave a lot to a local craft club - infact I gave them most of it....Now I buy things I need and am quite strict on myself...it is beginning to grow but still contained as organised chaos in one room!
Keep up the good work and have a fab weekend....xx

OMW-these cards are all just so stunning. I am also moving into a larger craft room, I just can't move for craft stash in my little room at the moment!
PS: I'm looking into having my images made into image downloads, but it may take a bit of time for technophobe like me, I'm working on it though!
Love Sarita xx
I love the cards and the pretty chooks, eggs already! What tidy stash you have, I hope it all fits in where you want it to.
As for the shrinking clothes, it is a well known phenomenon Linda dear.

Thank you linda for the lovely comment on my blog.. the papers i used are the new Bittersweet - Basic Grey.
you just reminded me that i hadnt labeled it " basic Grey" thanks lol
Also ... your craft storage problems etc.
Your not alone!!!
i have spent all yesterday sorting mine out, its crazy but if you get the right storage for you it will work.
I got tons but these days its not working for me , as i want things more to hand, and not have to bend down ( because i put my back out too often LOL) So i brought cheap draw set from argos, its HUGE only 3 draws but boy what a difference.
I was currently using 11 super large coffee jars ( for all ribbon) which is now in 1 whole jar all neatly separated into " stampin up, NEW, and then everything else is loose so i have to dig in deep lol
But then i had 4 storage areas/cubes filled with all my blank cards, they now in 1 draw
i then had 3 boxes full of 8x8, 6x6, and the other sizes ( not my 12 x 12 they have a home already)
so in a day i managed to scale all the storage items i had from 17, now to just 3 draws!
I'm sure your be pleased once you finished the move about.
As for Peel offs , i found 2 draws full! didn't even know i had them still. so us crafters really are mostly all alike.
Your cards are all gorgeous Lindo, my fave is the bear one - so cute and I love the colours. I hope your move is going ok x
Gosh Linda were to start well firstly some truly awesome cards here they are all beautiful, then the chicken they are beautiful and can see how they get there name and ohh fresh eggs you can't beat it!! no pun intended. Then there is the craft stash now I thought I was bad but hay you really do have lots of stash here hope it all works out well in the conservatory let us see some pics when you have finished. Gosh this comment is longer than some of my posts!!! Sue :o)

gorgeous card! i love how pretty she is - all your coloring!!
quick question on the last photo in this post --- it looks like on the right side there is somthing that you have stickers and what-not in....they look like they are raised up so that each row sits a little above the other? is that right? is it possible to order those from somewhere?
