Bunnies here, bunnies there, bunnies everywhere

Good morning blogworld,

And how does everyone feel on this bright cheerful morning?  Personally I'm stunned that we are already half way through the Easter school hols and have only got a week of manic running around left!

Here is the challenge of the day - over at The Cutie Pies we'd like to see those 'Easter bunnies and as an extra smidge - it's anything but a card!  Our sponsor is:

and the prize is 4 digis

My goodness those five little words send a shiver up my spine, no not bunnies, bunnies, bunnies but 'anything but a card'!

Still I had a go, it's nowhere near as good as my Teamies - pop on over and see the gorgeousness they have made - but it's not a card so I'm well chuffed.

We were very kindly given some images by Meljens to use and this is my make with the digi:

I used:

Digi stamp:

Meljen - Easter bunny

coloured with my Copics and ProMarkers

Sentiment:

C.C. Designs

Dies:

Nesties

Anything else?

Scrap of card, acetate and patterned paper and choc bunnies from a well known supermarket!!

And as modelled by my glamorous assistant, and it must've been liked as it's now been salted away somewhere by said glamorous assistant!

Right I'm not going to waffle on at you a lot as I'll be back again before you can blink!

See you tomorrow,

Sarah

Things they are a changing

Well, tho, really, that should 'garages they are a changing'

Good evening blogworld,

And haven't I been little miss naughty this week - completely abandoning you!  It's mostly because SWMbO is off school and we have grandad visiting so we've been out and about a lot.  However fear not next week is busy and you will see me so much you'll all start moaning and groaning about how much I'm posting!

But what I wanted to show you, before I head up the apples and pears is what's been happening at our house the last few weeks.  Hubby is getting his playroom!  He's going to have a room to play trains in and then my house will emptied of all the railway related stuff.  Yay!  It's very nearly done and I thought I'd share a pic or two.

This is the only pic I could find of what our garages used to look like - I'm sure I've got more, but they are not on this comp.

Then this is the outside today:

Don't know if you can make it out, but we had two buildings with a small gap inbetween - well they've now been joined together and the gap is the entrance to the back building and the new room.

This was inside upstairs a few weeks ago:

 This is today:

Plastered ready for painting, and fitting out.

This is downstairs - I did try taking a picture of the other direction but his 'man cave' just didn't want to have it's photo taken!  The camera wouldn't focus.

I will take more pictures as and when it's fitted out - but all this means that we are closer to getting the new bathroom and kitchen and therefore my new craft room!!

Right off I trot to bed.

Have a good weekend everyone and see you next week.

Spring has sprung

Good morning blogworld,

So what exciting bit of news can I impart today, then?  Well pretty much nothing really - apart from I should. hopefully (as I'm scheduling this), currently be at the swimming pool with SHMbO and g'dad - not that g'dad is going swimming you understand you don't do that at 89 or so I'm told!

The pool was chosen for today's trip out as SHMbO has recently moved up into Stage 3 ASA swimming and wants to go to the pool and show off her moves.  Of course whether g'dad will even be able to see her what with him sitting up in the spectators gallery and us in the pool is debatable - but still she wants to go and so off we trot.

Anyway the real reason I'm here is to show my very Clean and Simple card for the new challenge over at Papertake Weekly for which the theme this week is 'Spring has sprung' - so Spring colours required please.  As always there is a fabulous prize on offer and the DT inspiration projects are wonderful.

So here is mine:

Right folks, I will let you know how the swimming went when next I'm here.

Cheerio
