Tim

Here's some pages I've done in a 6 by 12 format then used a book ring to connect them. I used Shimelle's idea on the Fiskars website thingy, real pleased how they have turned out. Some of the pics I can't show cos I'm saving that for the BOB not that I have a chance and if I don't get my finger out won't have completed the 6 LO's that I vaguely want to do.

Had a lovely weekend with my Sis and my nephew looking at flats and houses some were nice and some were UGH. Finishing off the weekend was a lovely roast beef sunday lunch made by my sister's fair hand and seeing my Great Nephew who is such a little character already.

At last my DS is now a home owner and he collects the keys after work, just imagine less washing, no ironing awful shirts no mess BLISS

Mr Blair

Yesterday Mr Blair declared he is stepping down as PM and recalled his achievements, one of which is the NHS service, which is rubbish. I am scared s******s that I might have to go into hospital for anything cos of all the bugs I might come home with, babies being born in corridors and two midwifes managing a ward of 24 women. As for waiting lists I had a procedure which I waited for 9 months that wasn't neccessary to avoid being put on a surgery waiting list of course this procedure wasn't a goverment waiting list so it looks like I only waited 7 months for surgery which the NHS hospital paid a private hospital to do and are now millions in the red and is under threat of being closed. The scary thing I don't have faith that the other parties would be any better.
Moneywise are we any better, nope because although both OH and myself are in low paid jobs we are and always have been a few pounds above the poverty line and always worse off when ever there is a budget. Minium wage is Scotland goes a lot farther up there then it does down here in the southeast.
Right off my soapbox off to hide somewhere

News

At last some actual news, DS has exchange contracts on his flat/maisonette and completion is next monday. Finally I might get my dining room back and Andrea's room will no longer look like a dumping ground. We shall be able to do some decorating well not me but OH I shall do my best to supervise.

Here' this weeks challenge on UKS where they are having a bit of do about the QVC threads. Its all to do with the fact QVC isn't a sponsor and over the weekend the thread about the TSV got so many hits that the mods closed the threads. Shame really if it wasn't for QVC many scrapbooker/cardmakers wouldn't even know about UKS and how often does QVC have a decent TSV for scrapbookers. Trouble is I can see both sides of the coin so has a libra who can't make a decision I shall sit on the fence.

Boring

Here's a 6 by 12 LO which seems to be the lastest trend at the moment. I didn't actually like it but I'm going to use the format for a book like Shimelle did on the Fiskars site but larger well thats the plan.

I lead a very boring life even before my joint probs so I don't have any funny stories of my life, my kids are grown up so they don't have a cute quarks either. The most exciting thing thats happened is it was very windy yesterday and broke some roof tiles and knocked over my rose tree.

Oh well Mandy from Mod Scraps has almost completed Scrapcamp4 and should be online soon, something to look forward to.

Here my weekly challenge on UKS, the pics are scanned from slides. They were taken 25 years ago, gonna go all mushy and say I still remember holding DS in my arms and how well he fitted in them. Ok too much mush.

Lost points on the homemade tag it was a journal preprinted tag otherwise pleased with it. Love how the cricut does shadow cutting its going to be so useful, after cutting by hand and struggle with the pins and needles its going to be a godsend.

Well we've brought a new BBQ so in about an hour and half it shall be raining sorry about that. Also brought some cushioned chairs for outside as well as chimera which DH has been after for ages its cast iron so providing he paints it now and again it should last a while, you can put coals in too and have mini BBQ.

Can't believe I haven't bloged, blame the cold. Haven't done much crafty either made a card for a friend and forgot to scan. I have no old stuff to show cos I've lost it all.

We pick up little Gem today not that kind of gem, a motorised scooter but she's only little so she can fit in the boot of the car. I won't let OH push the manual wheelchair in Guildford High Street so I will be able to bomb up there at 4mph over cobbles I don't think so.

I loaded a pic from the Cyber Crop from the weekend, can't not show a pic

I have a cold, not even an impressive flu just a cold, but somehow its affected my right ear noises are disturted so like the loo flushing sounds like an explosion going off in my head. DS made us to go to Currys so he could buy us a telly (lovely 32inch HD ready telly) but all the noise in the showroom was bombarding my ear that it was a case of either fainting or be sick. So I hide in the car with all the windows up with the bright sun light streaming into the car it must have been 30degrees in there.

Didn't make it to the crop which itself was cancelled, joined in some of the classes on the Cyber crop at UKS, I did really well considering. I managed half the classes but didn't do any of the challenges. Added two of my favourites.

Look what I made

First LO using my Cricut. It cut out the title and flowers and it was really easy, once you work out the settings to cut Bazzill it was a piece of cake. This LO was for the weekly challenge on UKS could only use Bazzill, something brown, buttons, border and a big title. Its the cyber crop this weekend but I don't think I will get much done cos off to Modscraps crop on Saturday and OH is working Sat night with BIL and there is deadline for uploading classes (it always crashes at about 4pm on Sunday so this is a way to avoid the meltdown).

Oh yes

I have a cricut, oh yes I have a cricut, but it stuck in its box and it won't come out.
And I've struggled to set up the Epson scanner to scan and stitch a DBL LO to post to Scrapbunny at UKS for my pre crop challenge to find out my ntl e-mail only works when I signed in as DS also it can only 500 pixels and it looks pants but at least I get points for my teams.
Got woken up by the Postie with two pizza boxes, Pattern Paper which I didn't buy in the US and Banana Frog stamps that can only be brought at Banana Frog so there Sis. ( she wouldn't let me look around the shop where we got the Cricut she said I brought enough BAD SISTER)

Jet lag

Hit me yesterday, woke up at 4am couldn't get back to sleep, suffered badly with my joints possible cos I overdid it with the washing as well.

Managed to watch New Tricks just then collasped into bed, woke up a couple times but went straight back to sleep.

Trying to sort out what I can or can't do at the Cyber Crop on UKS found out there is upload deadlines for the classes means I can't do the Saturday classes cos I have to upload them by 10am on Sunday.

Haven't receive any parcels yet either hope they come before the weekend.

Haven't been able to get a cricut yet but there's a chance a LSS near me will be getting a delivery this week so fingers cross.

I'm back

Suffering from a bit of jag lag but here I am. Here's my DD with her favourite character and no it's not snow white. We had a great time and even now I miss my little girl. It was really hard leaving her behind more so than at the airport last October when she left for her adventure, but she's following her dream for that I admire her greatly.

I brought load of stash but no cricut there isn't one anywhere near Orlando so tomorrow I'm on the hunt for one cos I managed to buy the cartridges for about £25 each. Asking for special assistance wasn't so bad or at least my Sis didn't think so we managed to jump the queues at both Gatwick and at Orlando. Disney was very good for making sure wheelchair users didn't miss a thing but Seaworld and Cypress Garden was a bit hit and miss, not so much for wheelchair users but didn't care that the family occupy had to struggle to find seats. Shopping was great managed to buy loads of stuff it was really great not worry about money so much (my lump sum).

DS managed to corrupt the Hard drive while I was away so have come back to find I can only get my e-mails if I log on as DS and not sure if I can remedy this. But have sorted out a virus thingy from Virgin which seems to be better than the one I had and its free. The printer is back on, so is Kodak which is what I use for my camera. Adobe has been updated so I can still read my DC e-mails providing I log on as DS. All my blog lists are gone and I've lost some photos but most are backed up on an external hard drive (thank God).

The cyber crop on UKS is well ahead I've missed out on the mystery kit and all the class kits but have sorted out which classes I should be able to do but its going to late nights on Friday and Saturday. Ok thats it for now but I'm not going to admit after spending a heck of a lot of stash money that I've been Atml and brought the crate paper kits or than I've been on Banana Frog and brought the new stamps I was admiring before I left for the States or that I've popped onto Pricestorm and made sure I've plenty of coloured ink for the printer to print loads of photos. No way I'm gonna admit it.

Tomorrow

this time tomorrow I will be up in the air. At this moment we won't have any luggage cos I'm not packed and the most important thing to pack is my craft money.

Kirsty Class

This is my take on Kirsty class on DC had to alter it to fit the pics in. The DC are having a bad effect on me, all my scraps are now colour coded!!!!! Have tidied my craft room too but I need to find a secret space for all my craft mags cos they're taking over my little room and I will need room for my Cricut and all my new stash that I'm getting. Just found out Banana Frog has got new stamps and I need them but with going to the USA can't justified buying them.

Ain't they lovely

Here are the lovely flowers I got from work aren't they gorgeous, unfortnately on Tuesday before we leave we're gonna have to bin them. DS will not appreciate their beauty nor will he chuck out when they've gone off so two weeks later their be smelly. So I photo them and some of the individual flowers, I am not a photographer but they will do.

Generous

A very generous pension, so much so I must not say anything bad about them ever again. Even so having a mild meltdown. Deciding work was too much was the right decision the fact that everything has fallen into place means it was the right time. This means people agree with the fact it is unlikely I will be 100% fit again.

Today is Wednesday

Here's the chip box I've done for the team I'm on at UKS each insert has my details on the back. I so love doing things all the same (not). Received my DC have to say I was a bit disappointed, not their fault, the mini book is that concertina thing that we did for Mark's wedding invites, my finger has a permanent scar for all the folding I did, so while very nice I won't be doing that one. Probably will do something similar for Kirsty's class but I did like the tips on mixing patterned paper, from now on no picking patterns I love randomly ,keep within the same range. Looking forward to when I come back from the US will have two weeks worth in my inbox I'm sure the first week is just not my taste.

Need to finish my two pages of my circle journal, the book is completed just need to do my pages, I squirted them with inks last night so hopefully will be dry to play with.

This afternoon is my meeting with my HR manager, so I will sort out my locker key etc since I no longer work for them, hope the news is good. Oh and by the way six days to go.

Countdown

Seven days to go can't wait although not sure about having assistance at the airport. It will be the first time we've done this usually manage at Bournemouth Flying club where everything is a hop skip and jump away from each other. Not that I can hop skip or jump.

I don't have anything recent to post but these are two pages out of Andrea home from home book I made her before she left and seeing they're Disney I thought they were appropriate.

Last Day

Yesterday was my last official day of working and after 18 years I no longer work for M&S. There was no band playing or fireworks not even so much as a goodbye. I still haven't had my meeting with the HR manager that won't be till Wednesday hope that will be good news, they owe me some holiday money and I'm hoping to use that to buy a cricut.
No crafty pic struggling to make my CJ, I have almost finished the book, so I will have my two pages to do but it will be worth 50pts for my team on UKS when done.
10 days to go before we off to US and the list is getting bigger and Andrea if you reading this we have a suitcase full of crisps and sweets.

Pants

Had a rubbish day yesterday I know it wasn't unexpected but a nuisance any way, not so bad today but having to be careful. I still have Birthday cards to do, my design collective folder, a cj to make and my team on UKS wants us to make a fries box to hold each other details in. I'm happy to do this but I'm counting down for the states.
Sis showed me TV craft telly where this lady made a mini book of cd mailer envelopes and used a luggage clasp to secure it, both things on my list to buy.

Here's my paperbag book from ModScraps crop on Saturday taught by Ellie. Used pics from Sis computer of her DD. If she finds my blog she could have a bit of a surprise. It is now 13 days to go before we fly out to Orlando and I've been thinking of getting a cricut but worried about its guarantee in this country but OH said we could get one in this country when we get back and buy the cartridges cheaper over there. So have check the website now have a list of what I want to get.

Hurrah at last Blogger likes me again and now I can upload Jake. Saw this picture and knew this Mod Scraps Kit was waiting for just that pic. Had a great weekend, Sat down to Bristol for Mod Scraps Crop made a fantastic paperbag mini book by Ellie met CrazyDaisy who helped by my Sis twisted my arm and I'm now doing a CJ. I also joined a team on UKS and joining into challenges they include Daffodils and Rabbits!!!!!!

Sunday while the boy were cleaning the Lido Sis and I got out out Scrap Stash and I made a couple of LO and Sis went bonkers and made load with my help of course.

blogger bother

Well I have worked out how to charge my camera battery. DD has a docking system with her Kodak and after hunting for the box my camera came in I found the adaptor thingy. One charged battery. Photo the two LO have done and guess what Blogger is misbehaving. Why is it the most popular blogs never seem to have a prob.

The saga of the Missing Battery Charger

Not be able to get a battery charger, there is a possibility online but they want £30 didn't realise it would be so expensive. Managed to talk to my niece who's out in Spain at the end of the month to check the our bedroom but we are convinced we packed it.

So for now hes's a card I did for a 50p challenge. Plain white linen card that I cut and fold myself so cost about 6p, the flower is thin card, I drew petals, used watercolours pencils, cut out layered the petals to make the the flower. The out line and words I used the thin end of a Marvey pen and the a large gem which I worked out probably cost 5p.

It was Mother's day yesterday, got a text message from DD and spoke to her on Saturday. It mother's Day out in the US sometime in May so will have to wait till them to get a card. DS on the other hand brought me a large card with Dollars inside (lots) so this will help my craft money out in the US at the moment I keep raiding it for non craft things like Lunch, my mother's day present, food shopping and on Sat its Mod Scraps crop so no doubt Mandy will have loads of stuff that I need now.

Happy Days

Happy Days as my mother would say. Yes we have mislaid the battery charger hopefully Sis will take me to electrical shop to see if I can get another one tomorrow.
Meanwhile we have some nice new blinds in the rooms at the back of the house, we have a blind for the dining room patio doors but due to being a storage company can not get to the doors to put them up. In fact my house is a tip, the dining room is a tip, sorry Andrea you room is a tip too, lets not even talk about David's room and if you ever go into the bathroom after DS that'll be a tip too! Hopefully DS will move soon and things will be back to normal.

whoops

Guess who can't find the camera battery charger, and whose new printer lid doesn't come off to scan 12 by 12 LO to stitch, that'll be me then. I have visions of the charger in the drawer in our bedroom in Spain although DH assures me it was empty. Now I have to wait till someone (that'll be DH) to go in the loft to look in the suitcases.

At the moment I'm waiting for paint to dry and keep popping on the computer and being sidetracked.

A bit late

I know christmas as been and gone but this was something I wanted to scrap. I seemed to have lost my way a bit and I feel the same about Jake LO (battery in camera flat will post soon) I've made so many cards lately and there's a lot more inspiration around mags and blogs my fingers are itching to make more cards. Only problem then you have to give them away.
Anyway this LO is about Andrea's pressies she sent us.

Yes I did turn left yesterday, well there was a full loyalty card burning a hole in my purse so I had to spend it, brought a couple of small punches (suitable for cardmaking) and some more catseye chalks, I wear them out with all the inking I do.
Also popped into town, mothers day presents, banking and bits and bobs from partners. I now have a file case to file all my family tree findings, a binder for all my pagemaps and a notepad for things I have, things I want and what sizes I need, for when we are in the US.

The Weekend

It is really hard to get onto the computer at weekends blame DS. Had a amazing few days, have been looking into my family tree and recently managed to find my Grandfather and his immediate family. I use Genesunited to make my family tree and was amazed to received an e-mail from a lady who turns out to be the great grandaughter of my Great Aunt. Just proves the world is a small one.
We are all set now for Florida in four weeks, seats booked, resort rang to arrange a ground floor apartment and hopefully I've booked the wheelchair (yuk but it has to be done).
Unforturnately we went to a crop yesterday and they had the Cricut (have been trying to convince myself I do not need one) and yes I do need one now. So the plan now is to see how cheap we can get one over there and I promised to JPD to look out for the new disney cricut cartridges.
The Crop was arranged by JPD, Fairy and Valelady at Mychett (spelling) it was good fun, I shuffled papers for about 3 hrs then managed half a LO, Sis just gave up and interferred with everyone elses scrapping. There was no shop has it really was all about likewise people scrapping or making cards. Hopefully I will finished my LO for posting later.

That's it

This is the last card I'm making for DS he even turned up his nose at this one. I photo it standin up so you see the butterfly better. I used Chatterbox papers. Really pleased how this turned out. Now I just need to get some inspiration for some scrapbooking because I've lost it.

Wings and Flowers

Gosh has it been 3 day since I blogged and its not that I've been anywhere. Opps yes I have I've been to my LSS wasn't going to spend a lot, but they had Francoise new clear stamps, I want them all but I've settle for the teen boy, but really love the monster one and the fairy, then I saw the new BG. Why is it I always choose the wrong ones, I brought online Phoebe and Stella Ruby, they are OK but when I saw Scarlett Letter knew I had to have it. Add a few punches and some foam letters from Papermania (so they were cheap) it soon added up and Sis put in a card order to craft creations another arm and leg.

On other new DS wants a card for ex girlfriend but doesn't like any even these ones I made using the cd Wings and Flowers from Little Big Tree told him to buy one from a SHOP!!!!!!

29 years and counting

Yesterday was our 29th wedding anniversary, we exchanged cards but it felt very much an ordinary day, I think next year will ought to make a bit more effort!

Finally finished this LO, have been really stuck for a title so I settled for a take on toys r us which is where you go if you got kids for christmas presents.

Have a nice new printer which has been working hards a printed off some pic of Jake and Tim under the sea. Tim has some great photos of his trip to Oz, skydiving, some more under the sea and snow, all of which I've asked for.

Its Official

I'm going to pensioned off from work, my HR manager rang me yesterday to say that the welfare board have agreed to my claim. As yet not sure how much my pension will be but it suddenly seems so final. I feel quite emotional I've worked for over 18 years with them, made some great friends, had lots of laughs. It also means I can't keep burying my head in the sand and I will really must sort out my mobility problems out. Sign up for shoppmobility, dial a ride and maybe work out if we can afford one of those awful things mobility scooter yuk! Anyway here's want I've been up to lately.

The definition of love is from Jans Kit from Mod Scrap and so it the love is. 30 today was made with left over Basic Grey from the boy range from last summer. The swirls and flowers, the swirl is Rhona Farrar swirl and the little flowers are made from scraps, an office punch, they are fiddly. The flowers were a class at my local LSS. I think the lady was called Beryl but wouldn't swear to it but she is very much into quilling.

cards

Here some cards I've made before the holiday, first is Jo Kill little bear with background paper left over BG and the font I used for the greeting was chiller, a happy mistake. The second one I made for Sis as a thank you from Mum used up some scraps of crate paper and some buttons. Next is decoupage flowers from graphicus stamp not the best card but had already given that one to Mum and Dad for their wedding anniversary. Making a couple of sympathy cards at the moment then I must finish the Boys LO. Can't print photos cos the printer seems to scratch the paper its cheaper to get a new one than pay to get one repaired. I have all the spring break photos, two great pics of Tim under the sea and loads of Jake would like to get them printed ready for the crop on the 11th March with the girls from a local LSS then of course we've got the mod scraps crop on the 24th March.

spring break

Theses photo are really for DD and also to prove that the weather apart from two days were sunny and warm. We took hats, coats and gloves and only used the coats in the evening. Have to say didn't like the bridge in Barcelona it had no handrails and I was in a wheelchair with two grown up kids wanted to push me close to the edge to see the sea. Yeah right what they really meant was how quickly I would scream. Theres also a little Irish pub which the boys thought Guinness so I was left at the top of a slope, at this point I hadn't worked out where the brakes were which would of been handy while i continued down the slope on my own while the other three were in stitches of laughter.

This pic if for DD its from the first lot of snow we had at the begining of Feb but blogger wouldn't load it for me. It snowed again heavier this time but didn't bother to photo it.

Well we popped up to see MIL and I popped into WHS brought several mags (rubbish telly sat evening) also popped into The range I only brought a few things but it worked at £40 how did that happen.

New Faces

Yippee blogger loves me again. Heres my pencilines LO, its the one by Elsie Flannigan so I had to do it. I cut out the flowers and some of the lettering. The winnies I cut out and layered. Have to say it does look better in real life.

Popped up to see the girls at my LSS but they were busy elsewhere but Karyn and Linda (I think) were there so I showed off Kirsty Trash book and Giselle Xmas book and Hils christmas tree decoration that we made at the day event in December. Wasn't going to buy anything cos I'm going to US in less than 7 week but they had some 12 by 12 papers including some chatterbox 6 sheets for £1.50 and then I saw some new Stampendous perfectly clear stamps so I had to buy that too. Won't get chance to use them this weekend of to see DH mum. So lets hope Blogger still loves me.

Recycle

Well I've been to Sunny Spain for a week so hopefully blogger is mended and this will work. Look its let me load a pic this is the recycle challenge on Mod Scraps. I used a pizza lid ( now if you a scrapbooker then you probably got quite a few of these) pulled of some of the cover has shown by Kirsty at Scrapcamp Day Event. The used some of the sample books that DH rescued out of a skip at work. They were soft furnishing books. So that where I got the large piece of material, the letters were from samples of leather sofas, the discs were curtain braids that I swirled together, the sacking aquired from Sis who herself salvaged it out the rubbish bin at her school and a nice bit of bazzill. The photos were from Louise who was a zookeeper for a day at colchester zoo. Now lets see if it will publish.

HUH

Huh you might let me post but not to upload pic seriously thinking of moving

testing

Mr Blogger are you going to work today

Good Week!

What started a good week went downhill rather quickly never mind tomorrow is another day. Thorpe park was cancelled due to bad weather and damaged to the show tent. So spent a bit on Paperarts and Banana Frog online to make up for it. Sis took me to Craft and Co and spent quite a bit there, then we popped over to Crafty Cow at Seale and spent a bit there, no have discovered that there is a possiblity the show has been reschedule to the 2nd and 3rd Feb mmmmm will I have enough pennies to go now!
Have a huge list of cards to make before I can scrapbook.

Yippee

Yippee blogger is feeling better and at last Andrea heres you christmas pressie filled with goodies too. Now I will have to scan my cards I've made couldn't be bothered if nothing was working.

Good news I have got two tickets for Thorpe Park so more money for goodies.

NO PICS

No pics blogger keep redirecting back to where you upload pics. So sorry babe no pic of you christmas pressie, no pic of the cards I've made. People complain about typepad so not sure if I can move my blog to somewhere else.

I don't believe it

Blogger playing up and won't let me load a pic will keep trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the Wagon

I think I might be back on the wagon. This LO is a scraplift from pagemap Jan 07, they are great sketches especially if your mojo is missing. I used winnie walls and I made the swirls free hand. The pics are scanned images which I've now discovered that my scanner scans with lines down the pics, so when DS finally moves out and I can get the Epson scanner(its hidden over the two seater, three seater settee, but I have to get over the fridge and freezer first!) I got to scan slides I will use that from now on. And it is square its the photographer thats wonky.

I've also made a card, I've been interested in the word cards featuring words like Joy and Noel in the card mags. So I've had a go with words like MUM, DAD and Bro. I finished the Mum card but not quite the other one.

A message for Andrea read my blog tomorrow to see what we've brought you Christmas.

Grey

Finished off another LO but it so grey and miserable here unable to photo it. All this grey weather is very depressing never mind 41/2 weeks will be in Spain and when we come back 6 weeks later will be in Florida.

Eyelets

Well here's my eyelet challenge its an awful picture but you get the idea. Can't believe it was taken in 1979, Tim the baby is 30 this year. It didn't turn out quite as well as I expected but its done. Finished Andi birthday book too but cant show you. Which reminds me I must photo it before I send it.

Sunday

Sorry guys no craft pic dragged off to Town. When work decides what they are doing with me I shall lose my discount and DS needs towels etc for his new house when he eventually gets it, and he wanted some shirts so I got dragged down there to use my discount card plus need some US dollars for DD. She has some christmas money given to me plus her Birthday soon. Which leads me to the little Mini book I'm making for her birthday card but can't show cos I'm hoping DD may be reading this. We also brought some presents the chocolate variety.

Yippee

Yipee I've done my LO for Mod Scraps but the weather is awful so can't photo it yet. Like to photo without using flash and I can't scan it, its a bit bumpy. So this is a picture from 2004 when I got my little room has I call it. Its about 9 feet long and 3 foot wide and before Scrapbooking, trust me it doesn't look so neat and tidy.

I've also been very bad, I've ordered my kit from Mod Scraps now thats not unusual but Mandy has add on's so I usually get the Bazzill add on but this time she has a flourish add on kit and well I received a certain cheque today and my heart was obviously in charge than my head, so the kit fell into the basket whoops! Now the guilt is settling in because sis and I are off to thorpe park in a fortnight and I know I will need money (lots and lots) then the following week we are off to Mod Scrap birthday Crop. Hope this guilty feeling passes soon. (all of five minutes).

missing

Well I've had a couple of bad days but things are looking better today. I really need to get my act together and do something crafty always makes me feel a bit better. Only trouble is I've lost my inspiration I really want to do the competition on ModScraps using eyelets but have seriously lost the plot and come up blank.
Good news Andrea parcel has finally arrived it was delivered by parcelforce not convinced that it hasn't been sat somewhere over here rather than over there for last ten days!!!!! So I have some lovely tree decs for next years cause the tree has been put away. So I have a gold and a red baubles shaped like Mickey hanging in my craft room.
Well I've been on a couple of forums I check on, read the blogs that I read, all I need is one huge push to get me going.

Happy New Year

Spent new years eve with my sister, bil and their friends. Sis made a brilliant roast LOVELY. Came home after lunch of bubble and squeak. Now I promised Giselle christmas book but unfortunately its the start of the Tennis season and I have to book an appointment to get onto the computer, the aggro to get on here yesterday was just not worth the stress so here it is today.

Just a couple of pages that I managed to photo reasonably well but you get the idea craftybanshee has also put hers on her blog and she has photo her pages well.

At the moment waiting to be picked up to pop over to my local craft shop, they have a sale starting today, hope my bros get here soon then to drop of Davids fridge, freezer, and washing machine from mum old house not sure where we are going to put it just got to make sure I can get into my craft room
