New download

Hi everyone and once again thank you very much for visiting my blog :)

I have been run off my feet again this week with my OH being away all week again and I have a terrible cold with hayfever on top and it's too hot!!! Phew moan over.

I am hoping to start on some roman blinds over the weekend and some bags, cosmetic purses and other bits and bobs. The greenhouse looks like a jungle, I have so much to plant out, so hoping to fit some gardening in too.

I will be adding a new download over the weekend too so please bookmark me and keep checking back often :)

Cheers ears :)

As with the first Chuckle Monkey art download (which can be found under the Meet Chuckle Monkey post) PLEASE refrain from rocking his hammock as he has been an incredibe glutton and is libel to spew everywhere if you do, you have been warned LOL.

Please feel free to print him off for PERSONAL USES ONLY and re-size him but PLEASE,PLEASE I implore you DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever mess with his bananas as he is very temperamental and libel to bite. You have been warned therefore I take no responsibility whatsoever for any random Chuckle Monkey attacks. Treat him well and he will reward you with many a nice card or scrapbook page :)

I would love to see what you make with Chuckle Monkey as I am sure so would he as he is very vain LOL. So as I said upt there above please feel free to print him off for PERSONAL USES ONLY and re-size him and add him to your projects.

He's chuckling away here in anticipation, bless him :)

Anyhoo as always I hope to see you back here again soon. Please add me to your bookmarks and check back soon. Looking forward to seeing your Chuckle Monkey creations.

New Chuckle Monkey art download

I should have uploaded a new Chuckle Monkey digital art stamp image yesterday evening but I got sidetracked. I have just nipped in for a cup of cha as I have been gardening in the rain (yes I am a tad mad) still got tons more re-potting to do including over 200 sunflowers, I kid you not, in the greenhouse and plant out my spinach and broccoli. Just done the chillies and peppers. So I shall upload the new image this evening when I'm done in the garden. So please check back again later.

Cheers ears :)

Ok I am going to bore you to death with some gardeing pics now. Just harvested my first batch of cut n come again lettuce salad leaves. Sick to death of the price Sainsburys charge for their bistro salad, it is delishhhhhhhhhhh. They should be double the size in a weeks time.

One of my Chuckle Monkey cards

Moning everyone :) Just a quickie (ooo er) another busy day ahead. So glad I took advantage of the glorious sunshine yesterday as it is dank, dark and miserable here today. I am hoping it will brighten up though as the air is warm. Off to mums n tots, back for lunch and a nap then off to stay and play. Hoping to finish Honey Bunny off tonight and some more circle dolls.

I know I know I have gone completely off the subject again. Jo must have had her card by now. So I am popping a few photo's on. There are four different sides to it
but I am on the laptop because my PC is being backed up and I only have a few pics on this machine.
Once again thanks for visiting and please pop back again soon :)

Cheers ears :)

Ok, ok, drone over LOL. I'd like to introduce you all to Chuckle Monkey. Ickle Pickle Pumpkin Pie's very first digital art stamp download. He will be gracing the screens of this blog on a regular bases in a variety of poses and scenes that's if I can keep him still long enough ; he can be very mischievous you know. He gives another meaning entirely to Monkeying around LOL.

Please feel free to print him off for PERSONAL USES ONLY and re-size him but PLEASE,PLEASE I implore you DO NOT under any circumstances whatsoever mess with his bananas as he is very temperamental and libel to bite. You have been warned therefore I take no responsibility whatsoever for any random Chuckle Monkey attacks. Treat him well and he will reward you with many a nice card or scrapbook page.

I have done a card using this Chuckle Monkey image but it has been sent out to the fab fellow CB'er Jo aka Boots The Monkey. It should be dropping on her doormat any day now so I'll pop a pic up once she has received it as I don't want to spoil the suprise.

I would love to see what you make with Chuckle Monkey as I am sure so would he as he is very vain LOL. So as I said upt there above please feel free to print him off for PERSONAL USES ONLY and re-size him and add him to your projects.

Nicola J's (Enjay) chuckle monkey card

I've been awake for over an hour. "Mummy, Daddy, Mummy, Daddy" repeating over and over woke me from a well needed sleep due to a busy week and a late night. My DD is sleeping out at her friends so my OH slid out of bed with one eye shut and gave Pickles a bottle of milk. "that should give us five minutes to wake up" he said. It zonked him out he went back to sleep but I couldn't! So I came downstairs whilst everybody else was sleeping. I know I'll bug my daughter and txt'd her, no reply! So I thought I'd log onto my blog for a peeksy. See I am getting to the point now, gone all around the houses to do it I know. But hey I'm bored and up all alone at this god unearthly time on a Sunday morning.

Back to the point in hand. I discovered a message from Nicola (Enjay) and she had made a chuckle monkey card so I went to check it out. Wow Nicola what a gorgeous card, its fab, love the caption and of course your beautiful water colouring painting you know I am a fan of that I love it all.

Anyhoo, I got there in the end :) Off to try and bug my DD with another txt. How dare they all be happy in slumberland and I am not!

Cheers ears :)

Carolines (cupcakedaft) chuckle monkey card

LOL, this had me in stitches when I saw it. No Caroline isn't as insane as me, mmmmmmmmmm at least I don't think she is LOL; I think the caption on her card my just be a sneaky dig at CB'er Freehartz, who mistakenly posted some fab monkey cards that in fact turned out to be frogs!
