Mum's birthday today.... and here's a photo of the card I made for her! The embossed backing paper was made with a Cuttlebug embossing die. I love this particular die - I've been using it a lot. I confess I've been very bad and I've relented and bought a Cuttlebug die-cutting machine, notwithstanding the fact that I already have a Big Shot and a Revolution. It sounds like sheer greed, I know, but I got it quite cheaply... so I thought it was too good a deal to pass up. I've used it several times already and I've decided I really like it as it takes up much less space on a desktop than the Big Shot. My Big Shot is too big to keep "on display" 24/7, so I'm finding I haven't been using it much as it's a complete hassle to drag it out from storage.
I haven't managed to post much this last week as I've been really busy at work. I have managed to add a list of links to some excellent rubber stamping and crafting blogs in the sidebar, though. Well worth a look. I haven't quite got this blog site up and running the way I would like it, so that's an ongoing process. The "bones" are there, but it needs some work.
We've had a plumber out to have a look at our "overflow problem". Needs must. In summary, we've had torrents of hot water akin to a mini Niagra Falls cascading down the back of our house from the overflow pipe a couple of times per day for the last year or so. There is no shortage of water in Scotland generally, but our back garden is a prime example of a flood plain! It seems to have been getting worse recently. My Dad spent AGES trying to fix it - he thought it was something to do with the head of pressure and we think that's probably the case. A friend of Dad's recommended a plumber and he's returning next week, hopefully to fix it for good. The back garden is like a swamp in the meantime. Wellies urgently required!
