r.i.p ash xx


aww, my poor little ratty ash died during the night :( r.i.p ash xx kobe was crying when i told him :( splinter our other rat seems so lonely and depressed now ash has gone.... hoping he perks up abit and gets used to being on his own.


Happy Christmas!!

Derek was made up with his presents too, he knew most of them but i got him a few things he didn't know about too. We also got a nintendo wii between us aswell :)

I got lots of pj's and slippers to keep me warm and snug and i got some craft stuff too, some stamps, papermania sets and nestabilities :) I picked them all but i'm still happy with them!! :) I also got my nice comfy desk chair so i can sit at my desk to do my cards.

I'm also entering it into the stampin' chic challenge (thats why i used there papers), i'm also entering it into the stamp with fun challenge as theirs is 'little present' and last but not least the stamp something challenge of 'winter wonderland'.

Working on the kids cards next, not sure what papers to use tho!!
