Over tired (WOYWW)

Don't you just love misty Autumn days with those beautiful colours?  I took this photo in Graves Park on Sunday afternoon as the mist was beginning to set in.

I currently have a VERY overtired little boy on my hands.  I think he has found this half-term quite hard going and is badly in need of a rest, partly because for some reason he isn't sleeping well.  We have had total melt-downs of the 2 year old tantrum style every evening this week.  Hopefully half-term will improve things next week.  We did manage to craft this morning without too much stress.  He enjoyed making his zebra so much last week that it was the turn of a crocodile...cue cuttlebug embossing folder, brayer and green ink...shame about the blue card he chose for the background!

This is the state of the desk as he left it (we had to run to school so we weren't late), with a mug of tea ready for me to clear it and start again. I am entering this into WOYWW although in some ways it doesn't look that different from last week.  The cuttlebug is on the back left, with my two boxes full of embossing folders hiding under the various plates. Besides them there are some stamps that need to be cleaned and put away, the scraps left over from the 'crocodile skin' making experiment, the filthy brayer in need of cleaning, the Adirondack ink pad, a Batman space ship (courtesy of Alex!), my scissors and of course my trusty mug of tea.

Crafting wise I haven't had much time this week, but I did make a card for Less is More 'Autumn' challenge.  This is very similar to a card I made a few weeks ago but instead of the small copper embossed leaf I added a gold 3D shaped leaf that Gran gave me.  The background of this card is actually cream, the sentiment stamp is from JustRite and the leaves are tapestry stamps. I am also entering this into Crafty Cardmakers 'Autumn', Kaboodle Doodles 'Fall Projects',  Fussy & Fancy 'Anything goes' and Stamptacular 'no rules'.  That is all from me for now. Wish me luck with a tired small person for the rest of the week! Have a great week.
Love,
Caro
