whats going on...

Good morning everyone...its rant day I'm afraid...whats going on with Crafty Blogs? over the last few days I have watched my blog go up and down like a lift...first I was 34, then 29, 31, 38 back up to 30 and last night 45?...whats up with that, I know it will fluctuate but that much in a few days seems crackers...I think someone doesn't like me lol...I will keep an eye on it and if it carries on like that I think the only thing to do is delete it before it makes me cross eyed, because the cross eyed look isn't good on someone my age and my eyesight is bad enough already lol...right its safe to come out rant over...my lovely Daughter has decided that two days before a Halloween party her Halloween costume needs a revamp so I have to put tails on a jacket and make a top hat as shes decided to be a ringmaster...ok no problem lol...I haven't a clue where to start...right onto my card for today which is using this fabulously cute Stroppy Beth a Ragamuffin from Saturated Canary, I love that look on her face don't you, its a real strop face that any teenager would be proud of...I coloured her with distress inks and yes I had to use the dreaded red, that stuff gets everywhere doesn't it...the lush lush papers are digi papers from Nitwit Collections and are from the GingerFellas Too collection...they printed really well didn't they and are a gorgeous mix of colours for Christmas...ok now everyone make sure they are sitting down as this is not for a challenge today, I made it just because I wanted to colour her in...right I'm off to buy fabric and card today to hopefully manage to make something that looks semi ok for her...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one and keep your fingers crossed that my Daughters outfit doesn't fall to pieces before she gets to her party lol

    Great card Mina, that pout is worthy of an Oscar - love the soft colours and fab dps. I am about to delete Crafty Blogs - it was rising nicely but now it's plummeted - so either it's gone haywire or no one loves me anymore (sob). Good luck with the costume! Hugs Sxx

    Oh Mina, you must post pics of the ringmaster costume. I bet it will be "spiffy". My whole computer kept freezing up yesterday and the day before. My keyboard would even lockup. I thought it was my ancient 2003 laptop. Afraid I had a bit of a temper tantrum (it's the Irish in me), but I now own a brand new laptop. Shhh don't tell anyone. :)

    I have no idea what you're talking about with the numbers thing, lol. All I know is that your card is lovely - and you have colored thta sweet image beautifully! And I still have to alter my son's halloween costume so I feel for ya. But I bet you make your daughter's costume look fantastic in the end!

    My Grandma would have told her that she'd better be careful or her face will freeze like that! What a pout, it's a classic! Good luck with the costume, I'm sure it'll be perfection when you're done with it.
