12 Years and counting!
Hubby and I celebrated our twelfth wedding anniversary yesterday!!! WooHoo!!
We’re pretty casual about our anniversaries – just an “I love you!” and a bit of reminiscing over our happy day will usually suffice but darling hubby surprised me with a beautiful charm bracelet yesterday. He had already put three charms on it – an “L” and an “R” for our children’s names, and a love heart with a gem inside. He spoilt me – what a lucky girl I am!!!! *le Sigh*
I *DO* feel very lucky every day; he’s my Best Friend! And we have two beautiful children… we’re so blessed.
Anywho – just sharing our happy day.

Oh My Gosh! I’m still here!
I can’t believe how long it’s been since my last update! *GASP* There has been plenty happening in my neck of the words but I haven’t stopped crafting.
Sometimes life just gets so busy and full that it seems a little overwhelming to set aside the time to update and post pictures – I do apologise, but please know that I am still creating cards and I guess my long break simply means I have LOTS to share with you. LOL.
Hmmm… where to start? I’ll start with a card that I had reason to make recently for my husband. He eventually saw the funny side. LOL.
Designed by Julia. Stamped Images © Stampin’ Up! 1990-2010
The story behind this particular card is that he got a nasty bite from an Alsatian dog whilst attending someone’s property to give a quote. Not a nice experience AT ALL! We can see the amusing side now – however he needed stitches and now has two nasty scars on his forearm. He’s a “dog person” and is not afraid of dogs and can usually win them around if they’re a bit funny… but this particualr dog was not fenced in, not chained, and gave no warning to the attack…
ANYWAY – I’m so glad my darling husband gave me the opportunity to make up my own punch art dog (thanks darlin’ – so considerate of you!) Tee Hee.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Black, Whisper White, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa, Real Red and Creamy Caramel.

Accessories: White Gel Pen, 5 Petal flower punch, 1&3/8″ circle punch, 1″ circle punch, horizontal slot punch, 3/4″ circle punch, 1/2″ circle punch, Scallop circle punch, Crystal Effects, Sponges.
