Hi, Hope you have all enjoyed your weekend and welcome to my new followers! I have spent the last 5 days nursing the kids as the have had a sickness bug. I thought i had escaped it but no such luck! The one thing i cant stand is being sick. Carrie still has a bit of a temperature so is off school today and will most likely take a few days to get over it.

This is just a quick post with a card i made just for the fun of it. I won this stamp a while back along with the rest of the collection. They are so adorable but i am ashamed to say that i dont use them as much as i should..they are gorgeous!

Crafty Calendar Challenge - Things with Wings!!

Good Morning..a very early good morning. Its 7.30am on a Sunday morning! I am up to get my CCC post done. All day yesterday i was trying to get David and the kids off the laptop so i could get my post done...they all had some reason or other of why they needed my laptop. I would have been more patient but in this house hold is 2 i-pads, 2 net-books, a PC,  i pod touch and my old laptop! Why they had to use my laptop was beyond me. 

They all complain about the state of the laptop at times. Its usually got post it notes stuck around the screen, lumps of glue, glitter, a few stray sticky pads! God knows how i make as much mess but i am rather good at it!!

Okay, enough rambling! Today is the start of Mays challenge at Crafty Calendar.

The theme this month is "Things with Wings" with the optional choice of using some acetate.

The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to use at Whimsy Stamps!
