A Rather Special Award

Hi Folks.....I have just received this award from one very special lady...and I'm sure you will all know her...a wonderful inspiration to us all with her gorgeous creations....and she has now turned her hand to jewellery making....is there no limit to this woman's talents.....yes it's CHRIS and she had me in tears when I read her lovely words.....
I first met Chris....well in a virtual sense.....haven't had the pleasure face to face....on the Fiskarettes blog and right away loved her warm and welcoming personality and we share the same kind of "off the wall" sense of humour....and I just know that if we ever do get to meet.....I would love her instantly.  So fingers crossed lovely lady that maybe someday.
Now you know me I never can bring myself to pass these awards on.....why....because I find it difficult to choose out of all my lovely bloggy buds.....but on this occasion.....this is going to 2 very special ladies........
Terrie B......who is one of my crafting idols....I just drool everytime I visit her blog and she is such a sweetheart.....when I started blogging....my first post featured Pink Petticoat cards and Terrie was right over and left me a sweet comment....well I was on the ceiling for days......how honoured was I that the queen of craft had taken the time.....certainly no divaness from this member of crafting royalty....and my greatest wish would be for us to meet......I'm working on it....with maybe a little help from my next choice......
Dawny P......the princess of all things crafty......who is just the bestest bloggy bud....mega talented with the greatest sense of humour....now I have had the pleasure of meeting Dawn and her lovely hubby Richard...and it's strange but I just felt that I had always known them...we got on like a house on fire although poor Richard was lucky to get a word in....and remember guys I still owe you dinner.
Am rather pooped after our excursion to Ikea...what a glorious day but a tad too hot for driving.... will be back tomorrow with some things to share...off to have a nice lukewarm shower.....tuck myself into bed with the Sunday papers and let me tell you ...I won't need rocking tonight....Hugs Kath xxxxxxxx

Have you Heard The News

Have you heard the news.....my lovely teamie CAROL from Funky Hand is launching a brand new sketch challenge blog on WEDNESDAY at 9.00am GMT......and the name.....well it could only be.........



and the prize for the winner of the first challenge
Carol is a big fan of working from sketches and is a dab hand at creating fabulous ones too....but not only that she will be posting tips and tutorials.....so why don't you pop over on Wednesday bright and early ......and in the meantime....spread the word to all your bloggy buds.....Hugs Kath xxxxxx

Gallivanting Again

Morning Folks....by the time you read this I should be off on another gallivant.....Ikea this time....I am having a real treat this weekend....2 days I have been allowed out of the cubbyhole...will have to burn the midnight oil somewhat to catch up with the schedule....but hey will worry about that later in the week.
I just had the best morning yesterday....the weather was absolutely glorious and I set off to drive the 20 miles to Alford.....a small town set amongst the rolling hills of Aberdeenshire.....gobsmacking scenery.....wow and what a surprise.....gorgeous gorgeous designer craft shop...all Pink and Black.......very swish and modern.....SIMPLY CREATE owned by the lovely Jacqui and little did I realise it was a  Jacqui that I know and wow...wow...wow....I no sooner stepped in the door and guess who had beat me to it....my lovely bloggy bud Debbi....already filling her basket.      Oh I think we died and went to heaven.... just wanted everything......Penny Blacks.....Hero Arts.....gorgeous gorgeous papers and embellies....the two of us were like bees around a honey pot.   I stupidly went thinking there is nothing I am needing....just going for a look.....well how naive was I......and believe me we came out a great deal poorer but happy as Larry.     A little saunter down the street and into the nearest coffee shop for a well earned drink and a blether......and lots of laughs......I just had the best time and you know crafting can be a very solitary hobby.....it was great to escape for a while and do what I enjoy even more than crafting...chatting.....it was great to meet up with Debbi again...she is just the sweetest bloggy bud and we are planning to do it all again sometime soon and if you are reading this Dawn....this will be our outing when you come to visit.   So if you live anywhere near this gorgeous little crafty cavern......get yourselves over there....I promise you won't be disappointed and Jacqui will make you so welcome....she is just the loveliest sweet gal.
Now Oliver is coming to spend the day tomorrow with Grandma.....so definitely a NO CRAFTING DAY...but I will try to schedule something to keep you amused until I am back in the swing on Tuesday....that is...if I haven't taken off to Alford again....well maybe not this week.....don't think the crafty stash purse can afford it.....toodle..oo for now.
Hugs Kath xxxxxxx

WHERE IS DAWNY P

Hi Folks.....just in case you are wondering......WHERE IS DAWNY P.....well she is alive and kicking....hasn't fallen off the planet or wandered off into the sunset.......she has been having mega computer problems.....can't post on her blog ....we had a lovely chat on the phone this afternoon and she will be back with us all very soon.....because like me I'm sure you have all been missing your weekly dose of Miss Pink Piggy Wiggy's medicine.   Now I bet that's a load off your mind.......Hugs Kath xxxxx

Sneaky Peek Thursday

Morning Folks and what on earth was going on last night.....Mr Blogger is really beginning to get up my nose....first pics kept disappearing off my blog.....and this is really weird....I use Firefox as my browser....lots of pics missing but when I switched over to IE.....all the pics are there...now I don't profess to be a computer expert in any shape or form but they're either there or they're not.....don't you think.    Then I thought I would catch up on all my lovely Penny Blackers but yes you've guessed Mr Blogger had other ideas.....I know that lots of you have been having computer problems lately.....I think we should all join forces and  have a BLOGGY REVOLT either that or we meet up with Mr Blogger some night in a dark alley and give him a damned good talking to.
The good news is it looks like I have more goodies coming my way....Mr Random Org (now he is such a nice man...a very nice man) picked little old me for the prize this week on Truly Scrumptious.....gorgeous gorgeous birdie stamps from Crafty Individuals and thanks to my lovely bloggy bud Helen for giving me a shout....can't see me getting any challenges done this week....so I was quite unaware that these little beauties will soon be taking up residence at Chez Kath.    Only trouble is.....all these delish goodies should come with some extra playtime thrown in.
Well the DT stuff is almost finished......so yes there are some sneaky peeks today......

 
  
Well that's about all for today......nothing exciting....just work..work...work.....I am trying to get finished off for Friday.....am off on a little bit of a jaunt on Saturday.....a brand new craft shop is opening about 20 miles away....and let me tell you they are few and far between in this neck of the woods.....so need to go and check that out and then on Sunday....I am off to Ikea in Edinburgh with my sis and niece.....am I needing anything....not really but may manage to get some little bits and pieces for storage and hey it's a day out.....that just shows what an exciting life I lead.....when a day out to Ikea is a treat......catch up with you all tomorrow for a brand new challenge on Stampin Chic and weee..heee...my very first DT card for Polka Doodles.
See you later......Hugs Kath xxxxxx

Daring Cardmakers Challenge

Morning Folks.....I've so enjoyed the glorious weather we have been having .....and since reseeding the lawn....I've had to turn on the sprinkler twice a day as we have had no rain for 5 or 6 days....yesterday was absolutely beautiful... but spoke too soon didn't I....woke up this morning to that dreaded sound and yes it is absolutely chucking it down...which fits in rather nicely with this week's challenge on Daring Cardmakers...the challenge this week has been set by my namesake Kathy and is........

WET.....WET.....WET
Papers: Pink Petticoat...Big Dots
Image: Pink Petticoat....Lola Rose Bubbly
Flowers: Prima
Papermania: Glitter Adhesive Gems
Sentiment: Penny Black Enjoy Clear Stamp Set
And the titile of this challenge.....brings back wonderful memories of Marti Pellow and WET WET WET one of my all time favourite bands...still play their CD's in the car occasionally but then he foolishly went down the alcohol and drugs route.....such a waste.
Well you don't get much wetter than in the bath....and a nice warm bath with scented oils surrounded by scented candles must be considered to be one of life's little luxuries.....especially appreciated after a long day in the garden....unless you are taking "The Budster" for his morning walk......I'll be OK.....only my waterproofs will be wet....but he will be one WET WET WET.....and probably muddy dog.....and why does he always have to wait until he has just stepped into the house to shake himself......walls that look like speckled brown eggs and that wonderful aroma (NOT) of wet dog.......well off to get suited and booted and catch up with you all later
Hugs Kath xxxxxx

woo.hoo...hoo

A great big 3 cheers for STEWART.....he has just bagged his first Munro.....our very own intrepid Ranulph Fiennes....OK not quite Everest...but it's a start.......and well done for raising lots of dosh for Cancer Research....in fact.... well done to the whole team...they were in the process of bagging Munro No 2 when they had to abort due to the weather.
Very very proud of you matey.......Big Hugs Kath xxxxxxx
P.S. Let it not be said that this blog is only cards and waffle.....just occasionally I try to throw in something educational.
Cazzy asked what is a Munro......The Munros are the highest of Scotland's mountains, 284 mountain tops over 3000ft.....named after the man who first catalogued them, Sir Hugh Munro.

Playtime

Morning Folks and isn't this weather fabulous....got lots of stuff done in the garden yesterday morning and hubby had gone off to help paint the grandkiddies playroom...so while the cat's away..the mice will play... off to the cubbyhole with "The Budster" and my feathered friends for company.....thrashing around some ideas for the dreaded MEN CARDS.....here is the result and though I say so myself....am quite happy with these two cuties.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge....Week 50

Morning Folks......another fabulous reponse to last week's Recipe and wow......very creative cooking from everyone if I may so.....it's great to see so many folks joining in the challenge each week and lovely to welcome some new faces...we really appreciate you taking the time to join us and sharing  your creativity with us all.   The challenge this week on Penny Black Saturday is........

Buttons: Basic Grey
Flowers: Prima...Got Flowers

And before you say anything.....I know...I went a little overboard with the buttons....but the challenge does say....GALORE and you know me....I don't do things by halves.   I love buttons.....and have an old fashioned button box...just like my Mum.....choc full of memories....buttons from baby clothes....toggle buttons from the kids' duffle coats....buttons from school blazers......brass buttons from a Navy Blue M&S blazer...I used to wear with chinos and loafers...wow how long ago was that look in fashion.....and isn't it wonderful that a simple item like a button can bring memories flooding back....I think this must be an age thing...nostalgia and all that.
And we have fabulous prize for you again this week...this adorable stamp from the lovely Tracie

And a HUGE toot toot for my lovely and mega talented teamie PAULINE who had her Vintage Penny Black card featured as CARD OF THE MONTH on the PB Stamps website.....well done and so deserved....it's gorgeous.
So all you need this week folks.....are buttons galore...let your imagination run wild.....can't wait to see what you all create this week....will be popping over to visit you but in the meantime...it's toodle oo from me...back tomorrow with a challenge card or two.

Morning Folks.....thank goodness it's FRIDAY ..in fact any day apart from yesterday...you wouldn't believe the day I had ...anything that could go wrong did.....nothing major...life threatening or when it comes down to it....very important...just all niggly little things......it was just a "SHOULD NEVER HAVE GOT OUT OF BED"  kinda day but hey ho....that was then and this is now...a brand new day and lightning doesn't strike twice in the same place...DOES IT?     There was a little ray sunshine yesterday when the postie arrived with my new Penny Blacks from Dick at  P B Stamps....don't know where this wayward package had been....but I was getting a little bit anxious......had visions of it lost and lonely in a forgotten corner of some sorting office...but it's here now... a bit late for this week's DT card.....but rest assured I will be inking them up over the weekend and check this out.....oh I don't know how long I can resist the temptation of getting my crafty mitts on this gorgeous little guy. 
And after all that waffling....I had better get on with the purpose of this post......time for this weeks challenge over at Stampin Chic......a colour challenge for you this week

BROWN and BLUE




  
  
Papers: Coredinations

and last but by no means least
  A ....BIG THANK YOU to NILLA
for giving me this award



Oops sorry I forgot......what has happened to our Followers thingy.....it's gone huge.......I do wish Mr Blogger would ask permission before he starts fiddling around with stuff or at least give us the option if we want this....sorry I have on my grumpy knickers this morning.....he does give me the hump sometimes....well that's it for today folks.....back tomorrow with my card for this week's challenge on Stampin Chic.
Toodle...oo...for now.....Hugs Kath xxxxxx
