Grace........

Day Four: Simply Adorable's: Faith Grace Joy and Verity..............this is Grace.

So here we are 1/1/11, do you have your bucket list?

I am getting to a stage in life where I do need a bucket list to guide me as to where I want to be.

Some times I run around like a Headless Chicken, not a pretty sight! I am always keen to try something new, but am often brought back down to earth by common sense. I can see potential in an empty bucket LOL

 But nothing make's my work more rewarding than a challenge. What challenge will be next for me, I am tempted to avoid putting all my eggs in a craft basket and try something completely new, but there is much comfort in knowing your trade and it is far easier to stick with crafting.

As we all start another year, no one knows what it holds for us and ours.

I wish you all a healthy and happy 2011, because if you have those two things, you will want for nothing.

My family are off ski ing today, its become a tradition which I am happy to repeat on this day every year.

I stay at home, DH takes the children x 2 away up the Lecht early in the morning. There is a wee group who all go, but being the non skier I am left to do my own thing and tomorrow I will take on the junk room in the hope that it may look like a craft space at some point soon.

I hit the sales the other day, well nothing too exciting, just Asda. I had one full trolley of baubles of every colour of the rainbow, 80 boxes in  pink, black, purple, green, cream and brown. I had this great idea for an in store display and the offer of a bargain was just the final thing to convince me that yes I do need them..............all! { Kate will go baublistic when she sees them } I am sure it will all look very pretty :)

Verity.........

Day Three; Simply Adorables;  Faith Grace Joy and Verity................this is Verity.

I have scheduled these post because my routine is up in the air during the holiday. But you should be reading this on Hogmany, if you are out partying tonight or curled up fast asleep like me, tomorrow will be a brand new year.

Happy New Year to you and yours

and I wish you all good things for 2011.

Joy is just adorable.........

Day two: Simply Adorable's: Faith Grace Joy and Verity.................I think this one looks like Joy, she is just adorable, this range was so easy to name.

Question for you, is there a market for them already coloured? Our artist has coloured these in beautifully, is there anyone out there who would want then ready to print?

New Simply Adorable's

Thank you all so much for caring, Donalda's daughter emailed that surgery went well and she is now in recovery. Tanya, I am not sure about giving out addresses, let me check with her first, but its a lovely thought and I am sure she would appreciate that you are all thinking about her. I am not sure how long she has to stay in hospital but I am sure as soon as she can she will email me.
Before going into hospital Donalda  found the time to play with this Simply Adorable digi image which will be available for an instant sugar fix over on Funkykits once they open again. There are four girls, four faces and four figures, only the faces are available in rubber as well as digi.
Just waiting for the factory to send us some new rubber and we can get back to normal again.

The girls over on facebook group {sugar nellies} helped  me choose the names for these adorable girls.

Faith Grace Joy and Verity.

Our very best wishes

Our very best wishes today go to Donalda as she is due in hospital for major surgery.

Donalda has been there for a lot of us, leaving praise and encouragement. She must be one of

the first international sugar addict that stumbled on this little Scottish stamp company over 3 years ago.

She is a true treasure and a delightful friend.

Today is a big day and I am sure you will join me in wishing her all the best of luck

and hope for a quick recovery.

My oldest daughter goes back to Glasgow tomorrow but the weather here is better, the snow is melting and

the weather man does not say its coming back anytime soon. Today is my Mothers birthday and she left my home on Christmas night with my other two  daughters who I have not seen since!  So time to wrap up a pressie and venture out the house to deliver birthday wishes and collect my youngest child.

No matter what your plans are today, stay safe and have fun.

Please Welcome

I am Maya, a 35 year young girl ;)

I live in a small village, called Gausdal.

It is nearby Lillehammer, Norway.

Here i live with Morten and our 3 chinese crested dogs :)

I work full time as a hairdresser and naildesigner.

I started making cards in 2007,

and love every minute of it!!

Making cards and color in images makes me happy :)

Hope you will find some inspirations here :)

Hugs from Maya

Maya's SN Gallery

We are delighted to welcome Maya to the SN DT, I am sure she will bring many wonderful creations to inspire you to ink up and colour in.

We have lots of new stamps to launch but due to problems at the factory with sub standard rubber, add in holidays on top of that, we are now at least 3 weeks behind and may only have new digi available at the start of the year. We need some extra time to get our sweet rubber out to the DT and give them time to play with them too.

I also have a new blog and DT for SIMPLY SASSY to tell you about, but that's enough for today.

If you are hitting the boxing day sales remember that Funkykits has a great sale on now.
