What my name meams!! Apparently!!

What Susie Means

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are a very lucky person. Things just always seem to go your way.And because you're so lucky, you don't really have a lot of worries. You just hope for the best in life.You're sometimes a little guilty of being greedy. Spread your luck around a little to people who need it. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

A Gentlemen's Relish - WARNING -This post contains nudity

Since I was about 9 I have had a passion for all things Victorian. Novels, Costume and society in general. I bought a Cd several months ago titled Victorian pin-ups. ok so maybe Im a bit niave but I was suprised to discover that the Cd contained Porn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not wanting to waste my money I kept the Cd thinking that I may be able to use the images in the future.

I wonder if you remember the T.V. programme called A Gentlemens Relish staring Billy Connolly and Sarah Lancashire. In this series Billy is a Photographer and Sarah his Housekeeper

and in around aout way produce the first Pornographic Magazine.

Two weeks ago at my Canterbury Retreat Babs taught me how to make these Lovely Accordian books and this dispersed a seed in my mind.

I have been racking my brain for weeks as to what to do for James Valentine Card and this solved my problem. James is a keen photographer and has a small colection of Victorian postcards of the afore mentioned subject. Anyway theres enough of the waffle below are picture of the Gentlemens Relish I have made for my James

I would love to hear your thoughts on this project!

IF YOU FIND NUDITY OFFENSIVE PLEASE LOOK NO FUTHER!!!!!!!!!!!

A Right Busy Weekend......

Well I'm Back from the wilds of Canterbury and a fantstic time was had by all I hope!!!!! Well I did anyway.....and below are the fruits of my labour. The weekend consisted of 6 classes all of which I had had either no experience of or minimal prior to going. My first class was to Alter the below tins and I'm so please with them I've made two more since I got home, !!!!! Ive used Blonde Moments "Spring Fling" papers and assorted ribbons from my stash. Saturday Kicked of with a Accordian book Class the idea is to fill the book with various ways of using ribbon to embellish card and scrapbooks alike. I used BG Urban Couture Papers and Various ribbons and fibres. Saturday after Lunch we had a visit from Jennie from http://www.thestampconnection.co.uk/ She taught us the joys of alcohol inks and ATC's, well I'm hooked now!!! All the images below are avalible form Jennies Shop. Saturday Babs Taught me how to make a waterful card (the others being confirmed Scrapper's declined this one.) unfortunately since returning home the card hasn't survive the wonder of Aiden He though it was fantastic and has worn it out!!!!!:( Sunday morning Clair showed us how Fab the Bind it All Machine is......again Ive use dthe BM papers so now I have a wonderful Desk top set. And finally Sunday afternoon Babs showed me this wonderful Pop-up/Exploding box. Unfortunately CardmagicUK has departed and is no longer running CMUtd retreats but for information on retreats such as my weekend contact Babs (MagicLady) at http://www.faithscrappersuk.com/ Although I am not a practicing Christian I was made welcome and this weekend I made Two extremely wonderful Friends. I will defiatelybe joining them again.
