Another Card :o)

Feeling pretting low today so haven't been up to much just a pic of what I've made this past week for my friends birthday xxx

Something For The Weekend

Ger

With illness, loosing broadband & going on holiday I've not been able to keep it going soz! but it's back again so here we go with this week's challenge,

'Thank You'

Something different that doesn't keep you tied, have fun xxx

Back Again!!

To my great delight I had a little package all the way from Sweden arrive while I was away wooohooo!!! I ordered just three little beauties, not had a chance to play about with them all but I had to make a card for a lovely lady who is 80 this week, here is what I came up with

Lola & Bella

Been playing today with my Lola downloads from Pinkpetticoat man I love that site if you haven't checked it out you should!! & I got a couple of new Stamping Bella's from my lovely local craft shop :o) Happy bunny I am!

Got some great news regarding the shop plans the change of use & the building warrant are in plans accepted this time & everything is pending consideration- woooohooooo! all I have to now is wait again! never mind it's two steps closer than before and it will all be worth it in the end :o) Got it all sorted before heading off on hols to Skegness I can't wait we haven't been on a proper holiday together at all and Abbie is now 5, any time off we had was spend visiting & now we share a house with my folks we can have the time to ourselves for a change.

Another great bit of news was my hubby got his place at uni for his masters degree next year, I'm so pleased for him. It means he also gets promoted but on a down side he'll live at York for a year and then move on to his now job which will be in England :o( We'll be doing a lot of travelling again, it will be all worth it though.

My Baby

Sweet Cheeks came home from school today feeling even more grown up than her 1st day at school, she got her first book with words!!! I think it came as a bit of a shock to her cause up till now they have only had pictures LOL but bless her she came in all excited and read the whole book, well I say read it was probably more like remembered but I was so proud either way :o)

Special Visitor

Well even though I'm still ill the door went yesterday and the building warrant officer was there :o) How happy was I to see him, unfortunately Robert was out with the dog i was in my PJ's and hadn't been for a shower, what a peach!!!

I took him to the shop and went through a few things, he was happy with the access from the lane and even suggested i applied for planing to put a sign out in the street. We discussed the fact of no toilet and because I'm the only one working in the place it's fine to use the house one, which was a relief and then his best parting comment as he was heading out the door was he wished me will with the business and hoped it was really successful!!!!!!

I couldn't believed it, so it sound's like it's going ahead & it cheered me up a bit shame i can't eat, I can't believe I haven't eaten or been in my craft room since Wednesday.

This made me smile :o)

I'm feeling pretty low today, sore throat amongst a few other things but my mate sent me this out of the blue & it really cheered me up so I thought I'd share xxx

I'm Back!!

Hello all, after near enough a whole month without Internet I'm finally back online wooohooo!!!

Haven't been up to much crafting wise as we where getting the house ready for my Mum's 50th party but I'll leave you with a few pics & I'll be up and running for the Friday challenge this week so please keep checking in :o)

Lovely Day

With no crafting involved, weird! Yesterday was the 1st full day my baby stayed in school so to celebrate my mate Jutta & I decided we'd go shopping :o) It didn't get off to a good start with two of the first shops we went to where closed, one of the was a craft shop Karen why do you need a day off!!!!!!! So to make good out of a situation we went to MacDonald's for breakfast where I learned that Germans don't eat potatoes for breakfast LOL

We headed into town done some browsing and headed home to out fav cafe for a coffee & a shared slice of cake. We have a lovely day and got to school just in time for the bell, what a great day!

14!!!! My fave number today :o)

I am delighted to share with you that I have finally got back into a size 14 pair of jeans woooooooohoooooooooooo!!! I am such a happy bunny!!!!!!!!

I think hubby is going to get fed up wit hearing it though LOL He was heading to take the kids to there usual Sunday outing to the swimming, gave me a kiss & said see you late, my reply was " you see me size 14 later!" I'm so going to enjoy this day as it's been such a looooooooooong time.

Special Shout Out!

Hi to the lovely girl who stopped me in the street yesterday to say she reads my blog:o) I never even asked you name I'm so sorry I was just taken aback as I forget people other than my friends at imag-e-nation read this thing. It was so nice of you to say hi, I hope you introduce yourself on here & just to let you know the lane beside the ice-cream shop you went into is where the craft shop will be so you know where your going when you come for a visit LOL xxx

Something for the weekend!

It's that fabby time again, it's Friday yeeehaaa I've had a busy time with school & work this week so really looking forward to a play in my room with my new stash :o)

For this week I'm all broody, i think that's how you spell it never mind, so this weeks theme is

'Baby'

Pretty easy I know but i just love making those type of cards and remember you can make expectant cards if you don't want to go with the traditional blue and white theme just as long as it's to do with babies, have fun!

Party Time!

One of the other things I've been busy with where my Mum's 50th party invites, I cheated though as I decided to go with the design that got published this month as I really liked it, just added some glitter and ribbon for effect, Mum loved them but thought they were to posh!

Check out my Slide Show!

From America yeeeehaaaaa!!

My lovely hubby brought home my goodies from the states today, I am soooooo going to be locked in my craft room over the next few days :o) I've got near enough the whole cuttlebug embossing folder collection, a couple of paper stacks, a few chipboard alpha sets, a few sizzix alphabets, stickers & loads more I am such a lucky bunny!!!

I made some cards over the weekend for a family friend who is sadly heading back home to Canada to look after her elderly Aunt, she will be sorely missed. I'll keep her working though, making goodies for my shop hahaha

Amazing Concert

Well I still have a smile on my face from the amazing Red Hot Chili Peppers concert at Hampden!! it was a long wait but they where worth every second. There was two support bands I can't remember the first one but the second was a newish group called Biffy Clyro, they are a band from Ayrshire and they were great. I have loads of pics, sound recordings & a cool video and I have bored everyone with it all LOL

Biffy Clyro

Something for the Weekend!!

Sorry it's late things have been hectic at this end with the run up to school next week, my baby is going to big school so trying to make everything go as smooth as poss, not for her mind for me :o)

I've gone & done it

Gone from Purple to Pink to Red hahahah, got it done at work today while we had no customers, what a hoot we had. Jutta was in a total panic incase it didn't work as I was going out for a birthday meal tonight with mu Mum, Dad & the kids, it looks much better in the flesh honest :o)

My Boy's birthday pic's

Couple of cards I've been making in between all our goings on but I'm behind on the challenge card so will have to get it done tomorrow

Well I never!!

Well i never was sitting late last night with the house as quiet as a mouse flicking through the free copy of Papercraft Essentials magazine that came thought that morning not knowing the reason why I got it free, when I get to page 17 and two of my cards are in it!!

I had no idea they were being put in, I got an email last week asking for my address cause the editor wanted to send me a free mag but I just thought it was because they were looking for subscribers , I think I'll have to buy another now so I can frame it & hang it in the shop you laugh when you see the size of the piece! LoL

Something For The Weekend 3
