The weekend is here and gone

What an amazing weekend it has been, the sun has been shining all weekend and it's been really warm. My weekend began on Thursday when I celebrated my birthday (the age we wont mention). Then Friday night I went for dinner with my wonderful husband and my parents and also his mum.

Yesterday I got up with great intentions of doing housework but the sun was splitting the skies which tends to be a rare thing here in Dublin, so I moment and headed out. We went for a drive around Dublin which was really nice and great quality time with hubby and our little dog. It was really warm around tea time and so we headed out again, this time to Donabte, to a beach we used to walk on years ago. It was so lovely and here's a pic of it

Sunday being another glorious day, we headed for the hills....well the mountains. What amazing scenery we have on our doorstep. Some really beautiful views, even if there where some sheer drops to the side that made me very very nervous.

So as another new week begins, I pray it's a quick one so that I can spend another wonderful weekend in the Irish countryside. I hope you all have a great week.

More Corset Tags

Corset Tags

Here are some Corset tags that I made for a swap over on LOT{S}B. I'll be adding more soon.

Silver Bookmarks

I bought these bookmarks last year and decided to add them as the Mother's Day gifts for both my mum and MIL. I can't remember where I bought them or how much they cost. If anyone knows a stockist please let me know.

Mother's Day card

I made this for my wonderful mum. She's wonderful in so may ways and the best friend a girl could ever ask for. She loves these classic vintage images and I've not made a twisted easel card in ages. It was only after affixing the backing paper that I spotted it said "unique and special you" on it, so I feel it was meant to be.

Altered Frame

I've had this frame for ages now but haven't gotten around to using it. I decided to take out to craft today and altered it to become a craft room sign. Thank you for looking.

Some ATCs

I've taken part in a couple of ATC swaps and here is what I made.

I had to make 11 of the above ATC for a swap over on YPP - the theme was Tropical and we had to use the colours blue and teale. I had these cute little flip flop charms for over a year so decided to use them and of course I had to use some lace to finish them off too.

These ATCs have been created for a swap over on Cardz N Scrapz, hosted by Mary this month. The theme was All Things Irish and again I fell in love with this image when I found it. The lace had to be used here too.
