The house is very quiet at the minute as my daughter is away to London for a few days break, hubby is at work, so just me and the dog. We have sliding wardrobes arriving on Monday so that knocks our bank holiday escape on the head but we have been waiting for 8 weeks on these things arriving so just glad to get the room finally finished. Hope you have something nicer planned for the weekend and hopefully the weather will cheer up!

Guest Designer

I was invited to be one of the guest designers over at Crafting By Designs for the month of May and of course I said yes! Be sure and pop over as they have two lovely sponsors and a whole month to enter the challenge!

My card was made for a young man to give to his girlfriend on her 18th Birthday.

He gave me a photo of the couple and asked me to do a  cartoon version of them!!

Luckily I found this lovely couple over at  Some Odd Girl which suited them perfectly!

Another crazy week in the O'Hagan household! I had my son's birthday, then my daughter's birthday and lots of visits to my new Grandson. On top of that I am bogged down with orders so life is rushing past me at an almighty speed!! Hope all is going well for you lot. One more week of urgent orders and things should slow down for me.

Pamper those girls

Sorry about the dull photo, its was taken in a bit of a rush and I should really have checked it first. But I was pretty pleased with the card. When I first saw this image on a card on one of the challenge blogs I just had to go and get it! I thought it would be perfect for this lady who minds who two grandchildren and is a very young 60 year old.

How often do we long for peace and quiet and as soon as we get it we're ready for the hills lol.

Anyway that's my moan over. With all this peace and quiet I hope to visit you all a lot this week.

Hope its going well and Happy St. Patrick's to you all.

Its nice to look at but not nice to go out in.

I'm just back from a lovely meal out with my husband. It was gorgeous and I was really naughty and had a lovely chocolate dessert, yum, worth all those calories lol.

Hope you have a nice weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Magical birthday

It looks like one gorgeous day outside, bit cold inside though lol.

I am back with a card I made for a girl who is  very into make up and Harry Potter.

I couldn't think what way to incorporate them both so went on the hunt for some new images.

The following night we had a Graduation party so you can imagine I was shattered again lol.

Sunday we went to the pre wedding party (well it was really just a get together with grub). Now I just have the wedding to get through on Friday and that's me until Christmas.

Here's a wee photo of me and my daughter at the Graduation ceremony. Not a great one, just off my phone.
