Spending Christmas Present Money by Jan Mason

This is 3 of our grandchildren out for a shopping day to spend some of the money they had for Christmas. Daisy is 11, Amy is 10, and of course little Frankie is 4, but she also loves to join in the shopping trip. Their brother, Callum, also 11, was at the football match with Dad, and Grandad. They had a lovely day, and bought lots of clothes and accessories and even managed to bring home some change! I think Ill take them with me next time I go shopping, they can certainly find a bargain!

Puddles by Gillian Hutchinson

Today we hade all four seasons in one day, frost, to snow, to rain then sun! As lovely as it was our walk ended up being a huge mud bath for Mak. No matter where we go, he always manages to find any bit of water to roll, run or lie in. Today was no different! Long shower awaited him when we got back home. Amazing how much he loves water but is no fan of the shower!

Wild life by Tina Fitch

aah Just look at these beautiful young deer! We came across them on our visit to RAF Lakenheath last week.. They were just roaming around willy nilly with not a worry about anything.I have never seen any deer with this sort of markings up close and certainly not with those little spots in their fur!, Reminded me so much of Bambi the Disney character hahhaha... Anyway I stood looking for a good half hour before they decided to just walk slowly into the undergrowth ... I definitely will be keeping a look out in the future for these lovely little animals.All files in all formats https://www.craftsuprint.com/tina-fitch/

Superstar by Janice McFarlane

Our eldest granddaughter Darcey has just sent us one of her latest publicity shots that her dance school does on an annual basis. Although the original shot sent from her phone was quite dark, I couldnt help having a play with it, as I wanted to put it in a frame. I thought it would be fun to give it a little more glamour in the background. She is to her grandad and I a superstar.

Two new kits anther beautiful elegant female card and a card for the man who loves to fit. Suitable for most occasions and both come with a variety of sentiments.

Chinese New Year Surprise by Sue Way

Some of you may remember my news stories over the last few years when I told you about an online friend from Singapore who finds it funny that I am in love with a Chinese New Year song that I found on YouTube about 12 years ago. We met via an online Golden Retriever forum & now send each other Christmas cards & gifts every now & then.She once again surprised me with this year Chinese New Year card. Inside were pretty 8 money envelopes. Red envelopes always contain money in China and are given, most commonly, to children from their parents, grandparents, and others as Chinese New Year gifts. I will probably give one each to my granddaughters with money in & tell them what it means, as they love to learn about these things. Inside the card she wrote 欢迎春天的祝福和丰富。祝新年快乐 which means Welcome for spring blessings and abundance. Best wishes to celebrate the new year. Here are a couple of my latest Little Lady mini kits http://www.craftsuprint.com/sue-way/?r=968387

This week ... by Carol Clarke

... on one of my walks around and across the lovely countryside that surrounds us I walked through a field of sheep. I walk through this field a number of times a week and normally the sheep are very timid and run away. But for some reason this week they not only didnt run away, but Baaaed a greeting to me and then followed me across the field! Its happened a few times since then and it always brings a smile to my face! lol Below are 2 of my NEWEST Valentine Treat Box Designs ... Watch out for more coming soon!

Wow..Date Night by Karen Garris

My hubby and I work long hours every week and we also run a food ministry in our area. So couple nights a week we visit one of the local stores that have video games in them and play for fun and stress relief. This weekend was our weekend on Friday night I hit and jackpot on one of the game and then again on Sunday night I hit the jackpot again. This was so much fun and such a surprise. The money will be put to good use in helping our ministry grow. Donations have been slow so this was a much needed surprise.

Delicious and Pretty Cakes by Vicki Avcin

My daughter-in-law was looking for something to do while she is home raising their two babies. She decided to help a friend out and make a birthday cake and icing it. They loved it and so the adventure began……..cake baking and decorating. Usually she makes butter cakes but its turned into a mini business now so she will also make chocolate or whatever the customer wants. All her friends get her to make their kids cakes including smash cakes. Totally self taught she was doing well but is now taking some classes to become better. Last year she entered a teapot cake in the local show and on her first entry she won first prize! Shes very creative and her designs are different and that is what makes them unique. I think shes got a big future ahead doing her cakes.

Derek, Our New Cricut Machine Arrived and Hes Making Eyes At Doris, Our Canon Printer! by Maria Clarke

Well! What a start to the week weve had! Derek, our new Cricut Air 2 machine arrived in our office. We unboxed him and found that he was wearing a peppermint suit and has a very shiny nob that I can twiddle with. Nic raised his eyebrows a bit at this but I twisted and turned it to each setting. Cardstock, paper, vinyl etc. Across the room, Doris, my Canon printer sprang into life eagerly and Derek immediately opened up his front compartment to show off his sparkling interior. Doris couldnt contain herself and she was just itching to print something out for him. I advised Doris that she really should try and play a bit harder to get... but she was having none of it. Okay Doris, Ill let you print out this wedding card. She got to work, eagerly.I uploaded the image to the Cricut Design space whilst Doris was doing her thing. Its very easy to use. I simply uploaded the png file and clicked the Make button. Doris had provided a wonderful set of images for Derek to cut out. I stuck the card onto the sticky mat and fed it into Dereks front opening. I pressed the start button and Derek sprang into action with his tool. Doris was ecstatic and gazed across the room at him in blissful silence. Then I noticed a flaw in our plans. Derek wasnt cutting the image out in the right place!!! Doris was fuming because she had provided him with a perfect image. I was fuming because I was convinced that I had aligned the image correctly on my sticky mat. The husband was still fuming from me twiddling suggestively with Dereks nob. The whole office was in meltdown and it was ALL DEREKS FAULT!!!I think it will take me a little while to get used to the software for this thing so Im now running off to find a Youtube video to teach me what to do.Have a great week everyone!

VISITING DACHAU by Wanda Lipski

During our post-Christmas trip to Romania to celebrate the new year with friends there and take suitcases fulls of childrens gloves, scarves and hats to a Kiwanis club there for distribution to children in need, we stopped off at Dachau. This concentration camp was a prison for almost a decade before WW2 began and was not a death camp. Prisoners were taken elsewhere for extermination. We had already visiting Auschwitz were we had been deeply moved by the absolute silence of the place ... Even the birds do not sing there, and people walk around almost on tiptoe, daring to converse only in whispers. We expected the same at Dachau. Much to our horror this was not the case. Despite the panels inviting people to respect the site as a memorial to those who suffered and died there, not to take children under 12 into the museum etc, not to eat and drink ... the place has become a place for whole families to go for a walk, texting as they go, coke cans in hand ... We were so shocked by the attitide of people that we finally said a prayer for those who died there and left immediately. We couldnt leave though without taking a photo of the famous gate ... The words were same as at Auschwitz but this gate was the one that was stolen .. Maybe Im just old-fashioned. Anyway a couple of my happier designs for you to ENJOY! Have a good week?
