Barking

Hello to all my friendly pals and Thank You for liking my wishing card. Hope you are all well. My neck is still twinging but I can look about now, just not up and down. It is a bit of a disadvantage at 5 foot 2 inches not to be able to look up of course.
As you all know my attention span is ....... so I cannot find this blog again but it gave me a real giggle. Someone had posted their vital statistics at the side of their blog. It consisted of 

  • Number of stamps owned
  • Number of stamps used
  • Number of dies owned
  • Number of dies used
  • etc, etc
This appealed to my newly formed OCD tendencies but perhaps not to my sensible side. I could buy new items if I set my optimum usage percentage very low, lol .
OK I know I'm barking so here goes my last 2 doggie cards. The labrador die was a bargain but I realised after I had bought it that I have never seen a labrador standing still. 
Paper  and card - card blank is a 6 inch square 
backing paper from my scrap box,
 Dies used :- Popystamps labrador ,
Spellbinders Tile Works.
Paper  and card - card blank is a 6 inch square 
backing paper from old stash,
 Dies used :- Die-namics Chicken Wire ,
Spellbinders Labels 23 and
Wooden  Scottie dog.

Hugs to all, Flora.

  1. Hi Flora, your post is giving me a great chuckle reading it. I would never dare to put my vital stats on here, jus in case Alistair saw it, he'd have a fit if he knew the amount spent.

    Two wonderful cards Flora, great images and design, love the Westie in his jumper.
    I hope your neck loosens up soon, and I can imagine the difficulty in looking up, I'm only 4.111/2, the hald makes all the difference of course, take care, hugs Kate x

  15. Wonderful cards, my labrador is such a super darling...she is very still inside otherwise she knows she's out...but outside she's a bundle of energy...in reagards to the extra hours...read on...
    in answer to your question....
    being a nurse I am super organized, housework gets done before I craft, I do the bed, washing, floors, clean up in general if needed, shower, then do some gardening, if needed, have breakfast, then I sit and prepare my cards. Have lunch, rest in my craftroom, take the dog to the vet when necessary, go visit dad for three hours in the afternoon from 3-6pm....come home, prepare tea, then watch a bit of telly if there is something on that I like, then I craft...go to bed around midnight....do hope you now know what my day is like....I sometimes go crafting with the girls once a fortnight but that's for scrapping....are you tired yet....??

  19. These are really sweet doggie cards and I see you got to use several of your dies too:) As for unused stash I think we all feel a bit guilty. There should be a site for swapping stash, one person's trash could be another one's treasure, right?

  25. Flora I would hate for my husband to know how much card making things I have bought since I got my GC in November ? That's not counting the scrapbooking bits I have too. Our lab is like Pams he is still. 99% of the time except for his tail. Love your cards they are fab. Hazel xx
