Challenge 220 - Furtastic!

Well howdy there folks from a very soggy Totally Gorjuss Towers - heck I'm thinking of building me an ark!

Now do you ever get that experience when you think you've done something really clever and then find out that you've mucked up in fine fine style?  ~ coughs and points foot ~  Well I had this brilliant idea of playing with my email account.... somehow it seems that I can't actually properly get to them now and that they're mixed up.... I'm not sure how its happened that they appear to be there and I can't open the darn things.... So I know there's a few of you who've been trying to get in touch.  Please resend and bear with me.... I've promised my technical assistant (on pain of fingers being smacked) that I'll stop thinking I can do techy stuff.... well until next time.

So the RPT has done his stuff and he's chosen Joy as our winner - please email witht he challenge number in the title line.

So this week our challenge is Furtastic - lets see some fur!  Our fabulous sponsor is those lovely girls at Lili of the Valley.

The Gorjussettes have some inspiration to share with you...

Challenge 219 - Lace/pearls

Howdy there folks - how y'all doing?  Its been a busy week here and a traumatic weekend coming up.... I've got to empty my craft room!  I know shocking huh?  I'm having palpitations at the very thought... I have a pile of boxes... But I know I need more lol  I'm also wondering how many lost treasures I'll find.  Rumour is theres a floor in there too.

So thanks to our players from last week some wonderful manly ideas.  As always the RPT has done his stuff ad he's chosen Melissa  Please email with the challenge number in the title line.

So onto this weeks challenge - lace and pearls - because I'm so generous you can use both or either - our fabulous sponsor this week is The Hobby House  Now at the thought of lace and pearls the Gorjussettes got very excited....

Challenge 217 - Ribbon

Well happy noo year!  Though its been very wild here I have to say and I know lots of areas have been badly affected by this awful weather - I'm hoping all our TG bloggettes are safe and dry in it.  Though from what I've seen there's more to come on the other side of the pond, where does it all come from???  Personally I'd like to see a bit of sunshine... of the warm variety ;)

So the RPT has done his stuff and he's chosen Amanda  as the winner.  Please email with the challenge number in the title line.

So onto this weeks challenge a really really difficult theme.... ribbon!  Yes how hard is that eh?  Our fabulous sponsors are those fab girls over at The Ribbon Girl so one lucky person gets some ribbon to roll in!

I had to physically prise the Gorjussettes out of the ribbon drawer.... honestly....

Challenge 216 - New!

Well howdy there folks - have you all had a lovely Christmas?  Was Santa nice?  Or were you on my list....  So now its that odd limbo time between Christmas and New Year... you know the time when you (well OK me) doesn't know what day it is?  I realsised its Saturday when I went to tune into one of my Friday programmes and it said Saturday on the TV guide...  So here I am!

Thanks to our players from the last challenge, I had to give the RPT a good kick to choose two winners!  The first name out and the winner of the Ribbon Girl voucher is Harry Woodhall 3 1/2, now I'm not sure what he'll do with the ribbon but I reckon someone might ;)  The second name out for the Heathers Hobbie Haven voucher is Anita  Please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So onto this weeks challenge its NEW - which can be New Year, new baby, new house.... the sponsor is Dies to Die For  Fab huh?

Challenge 215 - quick Christmas!

Well howdy there folks - I think I slipped into hibernation or something! After a truly manic week of baking.... if I EVER EVER EVER see another mince pie..... Oh I think I will as the boys have registered interest in having some for themselves... I did suggest them putting in an order but they didn't seem so keen....  I mean its not too much to ask is it?  I've made around 400 of the little blighters in one form or another!  And I don't even like them!

Still that finally proves to me that Christmas is very soon.... ~gulps~  So in light of that I suppose we might all be in need of some quick cards... OK me then...  But first thanks to our players from last week.  I dug the RPT out from under the blankets and he's chosen Pinky as the winner, please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So as I said panic stations have set in ...    er... Christmas is real soon so a few last minute quickies are the order of the day!  Its a double whammy winner week again!  Our kind sponsors are those fabulous Ribbon Girls and Heathers Hobbie Haven

As always the Gorjussettes have some inspiration;

Challenge 214 - special Christmas

Ho ho oh oh.... Now I've heard a nasty rumour that Christmas is basically just around the corner.... I mean surely that's not right is it?  I mean isn't it ages away?  Cos if its not... it should be!  Well judging on the preparations that have taken place in THIS house!  So in light of that thunderbolt - and why not we've had every other kind of weather - I'd best remove my finger from where it seems to have applied itself...

So thanks to our players from last week, lovely Santa-licious cards!  As always there's only one winner and that's Lia  please email me with the challenge number in the title line.

So onto this week - this weeks lets see something Christmassy and special, now that doesn't have to be 'just' a Christmas card it could be a Christmas birthday for instance... my OM has a birthday near Christmas, which is really inconsiderate!  Back in the old pre card making days buying a card was a nightmare!  Nothing to choose from at all, which prompted my card making.  I must remember to tell him its his fault I have this habit ;)  Oops I digress!  Our kind sponsor this week is the fabulous Crafters Companion  Have you all heard Sara's wonderful news?  Her baby is here, a beautiful baby by - our congratulations to you sarah - he's a beauty!

As always the Gorjussettes have some inspiration to share;
