Christmas Presents
Sorry I have been around much this week, but once again my immune system has failed me and I have come down with throat/chest infection and a touch of glandular fever. I am quite happy cause at least it is this week and not next with Christmas.
I managed to get a couple of things done, including luckily some Christmas Presents (some of which my mom has to take to America) but have a few more things to finish and some stuff I can't show you cause of prying eyes. lol.
The top 2 pictures are a set for my Aunt in USA, she prefers simple jewellery so I made her a nice simple earth tones set, it started with the Necklace (which yes I have shown you before) but I decided to make some cute charm earrings too.
The bottom pictures show some of the very super talented Christine of Bellacolle's charms she made me, I have made them into some cute simple Necklaces, the first 2 are gifts for my adorable little cousins and the last one was a custom order for my sister as a pressie for her little sis in law. i am hoping they will all love them, I am sure they will as its hard to come by items with their names on.
Well I am off need to get some rest, busy week ahead and being poorly is making stuff harder.
if you want to know more about the pictures check out my flickr.
love you all loads

Bit of This Bit Of That - oh and winners
Good Day to All
I finally am making a blog post, with WINNERS, yes I have picked 6 of your luscious ladies to receive the gifts I promised, I was going to post piccy's of what I was sending but I decided instead I shall leave it as a surprise until they open there little parcels and then I would ask the winners to post piccy's.
So here goes, drum roll, stamp your feet, clap your hands, the winner is........................................................................................................................................................................
and the 5 runners up are, tada..
Congrats to you all, my email addy is kara@innocentcharms.co.uk, so please forward your snail mail addy's.
Now so this post looks a bit pretty, look at my lovely mail this morning, my dear Shann of Paint Mine Pink and I did a swap, she had a pair of my gorgeous pink earrings and I got the most incredible Glittered bells for my tree, how yummy are they, I have to confess once Xmas finishes they are going in my bedroom on a new project cause they are sooooo scrummy. She also surprised me with the most adorable little stocking hanging with a glittery K and all was so deliciously packaged, she is the best she makes the most incredible items go check out her blog. Thanks Shann, I love you loads.
Also lastly a couple of ATC's (very simple) I have just sent out today.
I am so looking forward to after Christmas getting all crafty, loads of new projects just swimming up there in that space I call a pink fluffy brain.
Anywho wow what a mammoth post, I am off now so I stop boring all those sweet incredible brains.
Love you all
Kara

Tagged - I know your bored of me
I know, I know, I promised photo's from my birthday but haven't got round to uploading them yet but I will, got my Christmas Tree up this weekend, yippee only 15 days to go, my pressies are wrapped (well apart from the couple I need to make) under the tree and I just have the food shopping but we are nearly there.
So anyway, side tracked as always, dear sweet Brandi of Catie Blues has tagged me "5 Things About Me", now I know I have already told you sooo much about me but I have tried to think of 5 things I haven't told you before, so here goes....
1. I have one leg that is shorter than the other by 1 inch and it can be quite uncomfortable, nothing has ever been done medically and if you just look at me you wouldn't realise but if you stare yes I am a freak. lol.
2. I love candles and especially scented candles, I have about 20 candles I can see in my living room as I type this, but what annoys my hubby is I only let him light some the rest are for decoration.
3. I can still no matter how much weight I have put on get my legs behind my head, although not so good for the bad back but its my party piece.
4. I hate to watch movies more than once, apart from a couple including Mary Poppin's ( my fave), don't know why just can't, bit hard when my hubby watches films over and over.
5. I hate hand cream, I get really dry hands due to Eczema but I hate the feeling of hand cream so I put up with dry skin.
Ok there they are 5 very strange facts about moi. Now I have to tag 4 people, umm who do I think wont hate me if I tag them, lets go with Laura of KatyDiddy's, Shann of Paint Mine Pink, Jeanetta of Splendid Things and Monica of Monica Crowe.
Go check out there 5 fab facts.
No don't forget you have a few more hours to enter my super birthday giveaway (check out previous post) don't forget to use the right message back.

A Day Late But Not Forgotten
Hello All
Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me and my cousin and my Aunt, we all have had our birthdays either today or yesterday.
Thanks my dear blog pal Laura of KatyDiddy's who did not forget even though I did not make it online yesterday and sent me a big Happy Birthday wish, thanks doll you are amazing.
Well what held me away from my Birthday post I hear you cry, I had to leave home at 9am yesterday for a busy day and did not return till 9pm when I had a cracking Migraine so i went straight to bed and could not post so here I am today. I had a lovely day with lots of amazing pressies from my family, a nice new coat from hubby and a lovely dinner courtesy of my super MOM, I have piccys which I shall share with you tomorrow as I am back at work today minus camera.
Now for the bit you are all waiting for, giveaway, as promised I am doing a super giveaway for my Birthday, I am not going to show you the prizes till the end to keep you guessing. lol. I am doing one large prize and 5 yes 5 runner up prizes, in total 6 prizes for my birthday being on the 6th - get it lol.
So to enter ladies all you have to do is, make a post before Sunday evening, with a comment stating when your birthday is and what you would like for your next birthday ?
I shall start - dear Kara (he he) my birthday is the 6th December and I would like a new smart car (he he).
Can't wait to see what your answers are and don't forget to head back this weekend for a look at my piccys.

Sparkles
Good Evening All you Glitzy Girlz
Well with Christmas nearly here, everyone knows its the season of sparkle and that's what this post is all about.
Firstly here is my new Christmas decoration I treated myself too tonight, its about 50cm tall and lovely and sparkly in white with pink accents, I haven't decided as of yet whether I shall embellish it more, depending on whether I can afford some cute little bits.
On the sparkly front I have some more photoshoped piccy's (yes I am in need of PA - Photoshop Anonymous) of the new jewellery I have been busy with for Christmas pressies and etsy store, what do ya think.
Now don't forget peeps, tomorrow is BIG BIG giveaway day so be sure to come back and check it out.
Love to all, goodnight and don't forget its 19 days and counting....

Look What happens when you wait 6 months
Well I finally had my 6 monthly haircut, (note this is due to funds not cause I don't like too) I was so close to chopping all my hair off as it is not growing much but my hairdresser convinced me with a free weekend curl not too, so in all fairness my hair has not much been cut as apposed to coloured and I love my new blonde.
Please excuse the crappy pictures I HATE having my pictures taken, really hate especially since I have gained quite a lot of weight this year.
Here goes..
From This
To This
Also I have finally got round to learning how to use basic bits of my Apple Photoshop (as a little different from my windows version). I feel quite proud of my first three piccy's, sad isn't it, go on I know you want to laugh, lol, ha ha, see I have done it.
The only thing I am having trouble with, is I want to know whether you can rotate the brushes, I am on the look out for decrotive corner brushes.
The Black and White Necklace has just been added to my Etsy store and more things going up this week, the mass amount of piccy's I took with hubbys flash Nikon did not come out to well as it was still too dark.
Don't forget people Thurday is my big BIRTHDAY giveaway so put the date in your calender, I have not as of yet decided what to give away but I know I will pick 6 winners.
Love to all
