Cats And A Snow Lady!

 These cats are all dies, as is the sleigh.  My love of cats was the inspiration for making these Christmas cards! 

 The snow lady below is CASED from Dawns blog. (DOstamping) 

I cut out the bottom of her in green card & then cut into it to make it look like a grass skirt.  I have used the hat from this stamp set (SU Snow Day) for her bikini top (minus the pom poms!). Christmas falls in the summer here in NZ so this snow lady is definitely dressed appropriately!  "Bring on summer," is what she is saying!

I added some punched out flowers in black and white for the top if her skirt and also on her head.
She was fun to make!  Thanks for visiting, {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)

Cats For Christmas!

"Hey, wait for me!" the white cat is saying as Santa's sleigh is taken over by a black cat!

These are made with Poppy Stamps dies.  Being a cat lover I had heaps of fun making these!

Snow Ladies Hula On My Blog!

 I got the idea for these sno ladies from Dawns blog - DOstamping.  I thin someone had sent Dawn a card like this and she posted it on her blog.  I apologize for not having your name here, but I give you the credit for making up this awesome idea!  I love it!

Each snow lady is slightly different - are they having fun or what?!

Here in New Zealand Christmas is in Summer, so having a grass skirt on a snow lady is appropriate!  Thanks for visiting - {{HUGS}} from me to YOU:-)

 

Snow Lady and Cat Card

 The cat and sleigh are both Poppy Stamps dies.  The card looks better IRL!

This is another one of my Snow Lady cards.

Problems Publishing Photo's

You may have noticed that I am not posting much lately.  

This is not because I am not making any cards etc, but because I am having big problems getting things to publish.

I wrote about this in an earlier post.

I used to be able to publish several photo's at a time, now I am lucky if I can publish 3 at a time.  Even 2 causes problems.

I have no idea what is going on, I am doing nothing different to what I usually do when I want to publish something.

I hope you guys don't give up on my blog!  Things are just taking a whole lot longer to do these days!

What used to take me 10 minutes now takes me 45 or more, and even then it doesn't always work.  Even this took several attempts to get it to publish.

Several times when I tried to publish some of the photo's in the posts below, nothing showed up on my blog.  

So that's why I am not posting as often as I used to.  Bummer!

Thanks for reading this!  (Oh yeah, and if you have a spare magic wand to fix this problem with...please send it to me!)

I Once Had A Driveway...

 ...until the local council came and dug it up!  But the end results are great!  They were here outside my place for about 3 1/2 weeks widening the public footpath.  They re-did my driveway and took a large chunk of the grass verge to widen the footpath.  Supposedly to slow the traffic down?  How that works I don't know! 

They have also put in pedestrian islands as well as speed cushions up and down the road to slow the traffic.  Hope it works because I have seen one too many serious crashes on this road, and all of them very close to my house!

Thanks for dropping by, {{HUGS}} to you from ME:-)

Hmmm, Bit Of A Mess!

 The local council have widened the public footpath to twice the width it was.  A lot of mud!  A lot of noise!  But the finished results are great!

 The photo below is how wide the footpath used to be and the photo above shows how wide it will be.
