Lazy Sunday...?

If only LOL!  It is a beautiful day up here so busy tidying up the garden and getting ready for Autumn.  I have to say it's my favourite season!  And not only as it'll soon be my birthday hee hee!

Had a lovely day up in Alford yesterday.  Huge thanks to Jacqui of Simply Create - I was truly spoilt! 

Was great to meet so many nice crafters :)

Just a couple of pics to share with you.....some of the projects I made yesterday and a photo of my own wee squigglettes!  I had to laugh they were all dressed for the beach and matched the Squiggle Stamp Display perfectly!!! 

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend too :)

Busy Busy Busy!

Goodness me I am shocked how fast the last month has gone!

Just seems to be so much going on! Girls are loving school - I have a gorgeous new baby niece in Holland - can't wait to get over there and give her a cuddle - and I have been doing some work in a local coffee shop doing the baking. So all this "time" that I thought I would have just doesn't exist!

Squiggle Stamps is growing - lots of new designs now available and more to come! Very proud of my little stamp company! We now have a fantabulous Design Team....their cards and projects are sinply stunning - have a nosy over at the BLOG for links :)

Tomorrow is a crafty day away for me - demo'ing some Squiggle Stamps over at Simply Create in Alford. I adore that shop - Jacqui has created the ultimate Craft Utopia there! No doubt I will be coming home with more than I took! Would be lovely to catch up with some familiar faces if you are in the area :)

Have a lovely weekend :)

Hello everyone!

Just had to share a sneaky peek of this adorable Witchy Daisy stamp which is due for release in September from Squiggle Stamps - I love her.....but then I am Halloween daft!!!!

Had a lovely day out today - went to visit Irene up at Mitchbish Crafts in Keith - she has some really fabby stash - well worth a visit! Then Elaine & I went to Boogie Woogie for Coffee and Cake.....total yummy mummies!!

Still working away on a new blog just for Squiggle Stamps....and on the search for some designers - gosh the day browsing online just disappears!!

School Days....


Well the day has come......my baby has started school! GULP!

Big adventures for both my girls - wee one is starting P1 and her big sister is moving up to the next class and a new teacher in P3 - but they were both happy and excited when the bell rang!

So what do I do now!? Ha Ha there is LOTS to keep me busy...cards to make.....website....a new Squiggle Blog to be created....and I am going to work a couple of days a week in the local coffee shop to do the baking again....and somewhere in amongst all that I really need to work on my domestic goddess skills!

So feeling a bit at odds today.....happy and a wee bit sad too. But well life goes on so I just need to try and keep up!!!

On the plus side - I have a new batch of sketches for September Stamps....oooh they are FAB! Autumn...Winter.....and a wee Witchie too!!! I might even show you all a peek later! :P

you made my day.....


a wee card to share using one of the brand new Daisy Squiggle Stamps!

An absolute dream to stamp & colour (if I do say so myself :P)

Now available from Squiggle Stamps!

This stamp is "Daisy with Flowers" Also used some yummy My Minds Eye papers from Elaine's lovely shop Quixotic Paperie

Starfish and Mushrooms.....

What another manic week! Where does the time go?!

Weather not been great but still managed a few trips out! My girls adore going to the beach....they spend hours in the rock-pools searching for crabs and starfish. But with all the damp weather this week they also enjoyed a visit to the forrest to collect mushrooms - much to Chef Addy's delight! Just had to share a couple of photo's!

The first batch of adorable Daisy Stamps have arrived so we are having fun at home today colouring in. Hope to have some creations to share with you soon! Stamps available now at Squiggle Stamps :)

Happy Sunday everyone!!

Woooooooosh....



Oh my goodness where did the last month disappear to!

Life is very busy - especially now with the school holidays! My little Freya gave us all a fright yesterday by falling and splitting open her head....eeek! All is well and the very nice doctor glued her together (the wonders of modern science!!) I think I was more traumatized than she was!

I have some excitement to share.....an adorable new range of stamps by an up & coming Scottish illustrator - more info to follow! They are called Oscar & Daisy and here is a sneaky peek of Daisy in all her cute-ness! They should be available soon from Squiggle Stamps :) What do you think?????
