Long time no see :(

Hello
:)
Long time no see.... if you get my drift.
Thought that i would take the time to drop by here on my blog, though i don't have any cards or any other crafty projects to share with you. :(
I am not sure when i will be getting back to crafting as a lot has happened since March of 2011 till now....  Hopefully all that is behind us now 
I am learning to move on and enjoy my life again, with thanks to my gorgeous children, my Dad, special friends and the new man in my life. :)  
With the current circumstances of where we are living space is a huge issue, I have craft stuff every where, from out in the shed to in the loft and spaces in between lol,  I may have to resort to crafting on the dining table again.. going back to where i started... lol.. who knows. That is if i can remember how to colour, i think that i am a little scared to pick up my copies again.... lol. 
anyways, I hope that you all had a fabulous Christmas and i want to wish you all (though a little late) A happy and healthy New Year
hopefully if i can get my head back in the game i'll be back with something crafty to share again soon. 
I miss you all sooooo much
hugs Rach. xxx

Brown Hair.

Hiya, am off out in a bit to take Hollie and Ben to see the Harry Potter film.. but thought that i would just pop on this new video that i did about colouring hair.. (as i have been asked)I normally take a bit longer  to colour it in but was trying to get the colouring done in the time frame of You tube, but you will get the general idea... 

please excuse my naff thumb nail, but it fell off a while back and is a mess at the mo.. rofl.. 

.Thank you for dropping by,

Hope that you have had a fab weekend... I tell you they seem to be whizzing by at the moment at lightning speed...  well the kiddo's break up for the summer on Thursday... Hollie can't wait.. :)

next thing you know it will be nearly Christmas... arghhhhh.. rofl.

I was looking through my stamps the other day after thinking that i have way too many and that i really need to ink the older ones up again... am i the only one guilty of not using our stamps enough... or more than once...:( 

anyway on my rummaging i found this gorgeous older sugar nellie stamp by Elizabeth Bell. she is called picking apples.. 

I have tried to get the creases in  the clothes but not too sure if i have succeeded. mmmm jury's out on that one.. lol.....

Hello, :)

Good morning. I thought that i would try and make an appearance on here…. i haven’t been slacking off honest, have been busy making cards and stuff.. as well as all the other house hold chores.. gardening, taxi-ing and cooking that goes on… I really need more hours in the day… anyway… I thought that i had better kick myself and get some photo’s taken so i can actually post something on my blog.. hehe..

Thank you for the lovely comments that were left for my sorry attempt at a video on face colouring.. lol..
