This is my take on the Papercraft Junkies challenge 3 "something old,something new."
Well I don't know if this fits the criteria... but I am quite proud of this as it is the first big thing I have altered for the house!!.
This mirror started of as a tired old dark pine mirror.
Then there was your challenge?? So I painted it a colour called "Illusion" which is a light grey (pastel grey if there is such a thing!) I then fed silvery blue cord along the seams. On each of the 6 corners I stuck some clear & blue jewels. So the mirror, the cord & the jewels are all old.. the paint is new! all this equals... A NEW MIRROR!!

Bank holiday weekend

Well this weekend has been full to the brim with paints, brushes etc...
But not in a good crafting kind of way!!!
No I have been decorating all weekend, Hall, stairs & landing..
My Hubby decided that we would give it a new fresh look.I agreed as this would also mean my crafting cupboard would get a well needed lick of paint. Lol. The reason for my non enthusiasm regarding said decorating, is because my Hubby starts off full of zeal and enthusiasm, then it fizzles and I am left to do the bulk of the painting..
He says things like;
"Sharon, you have more patience than me!" or "Sharon you have a steadier hand than me!" or I'm off to the shop do you need anything?" Lol!!
Anyway there is just the odd touch up to do now!
Also, much to Hubbys dismay I spent ages "altering" my old mirror so it would look good in its new home .. the hallway.
When it is finished I will get a pic of it on here.
I am also going to enter it into the Papercraft Junkies challenge 3,"something old something new".
Anyway gotta go back to work tomorrow..so I'm off to bed. night night.

P.C.J Challenge 2

Here are my efforts...Though whilst I am still off work I going to try to make some more!

Are you Messy?

You Are a Little Messy

You aren't the cleanest person in the world, but you're definitely not a slob. You clean up when you have the time, but you're realistic about what you can get done. Generally, you're pretty organized and tidy - though you may have a few hidden messes. You eventually get around to making things spotless, but you do it on your own schedule!

Are You Messy?

I have been on blog things again.. and this survey is on the money!! lol

Holiday Memories

I have been taking a trip down memory lane..
This slide show is of our family holiday to Dartmouth in Devon a couple of years ago.
We really love this place. We stayed in a little cottage off the beaten track, right in the middle of the country side..but a stones throw away from the sea!The views, I think you will agree.. are gorgeous.

what colour crayon are you?

The link for this poll and other fun stuff, you will find on the link list opposite: Titled "interesting & fun"

You Are a Purple Crayon

Your world is colored in dreamy, divine, and classy colors. You hold yourself to a sky high standard, and you are always graceful. People envy, idolize, and copy you without realizing it. You are an icon for those who know you. And while it is hard to be a perfectionist, rest assured it's paying off! Your color wheel opposite is yellow. While yellow people may be wise, they lack the manners and class needed to impress you.

What Color Crayon Are You?

Its fun ... Not necessarily true..Lol!!!

These are my entries into the Papercraft Junkies Challenge.
