Challenge time

Only submitted my first card for 'Daring cardmakers' (link on the left) yesterday and have already made the following card for their next challenge set by Lythan, it was : "I am woman"
As its coming up to Mothers day in the UK here’s a chance to make a card that celebrates women and girls . So I’d like to see a card with at least one feminine image on it . And that's it for rules really.Apart from this one.And it is sneaky. No Tildas, Sugar Nellies or Bellas please. I love them all. But there are loads of great challenges out there using them so for this challenge you can give them a well earned rest! Here is my effort

I have also seen lots of entries for the 'Paper Take Weekly' (link on the left) challenge during my blog travels, the challenge at the moment is "blue and green should never be seen" well from the entries I've seen it most certainly should!!! So thought I'd have a go, and made a boy card for a change using my Sugar Nellie 'Hamish with Tractor' stamp

Hollie and I stayed at school for a while this morning, we had been invited to watch an 'ERR' learning session, I have no idea what ERR stands for but this way of learning is obviously working. Lillie is in the middle class so she is ok, not great, not bad, obviously as a parent you want them to be in the top group but as long as she is learning and taking in what they are teaching it's not so bad I guess. Doubt I'll get any cards made this weekend as I have my cake order to do and also take the girls to yet another party tomorrow, then on Sunday, Matthew says he is taking me to Park Farm as we know they are lambing and I sooooo....... loves little lambs!!!! Also off to the pub for lunch, heh it's Mother's Day so I'm allowed a treat!!!!!!!!!!

I'm the kind of guy who loves to try different stuff. Right now I am manufacturing my personal pv panels. I am making it all by myself without the assistance of my staff. I'm utilizing the internet as the only way to acheive that. I discovered a truly awesome website that explains how to build solar panels and wind generators. The web site explains all the steps needed for solar panel construction.

I'm not sure bout how accurate the data given there is. If some guys over here who had xp with these things can have a look and give your feedback in the page it would be grand and I'd really appreciate it, because I truly enjoy solar panel construction.

Tnx for reading this. U guys are the best.
