Too hot to fight

My dear children has been arguing a lot of the afternoon and were sent up to their rooms ALL of them! I have let them out and they all chose to go outside yayyyyyy( probably to get away from a grumpy mum! LOL)
I was then able to finish the above lo.......its very simple, couldn't concentrate much..as soon as i saw these gorg Cosmo cricket papers last week, i knew i would be using them quickly.

I would like to quickly wish my dear BIL a Happy Birthday today :) He wont read this as he is at his brothers wedding today . Catch you later .

End of the week

Won't be sorry to see that one finish!! Lots of sad anniversaries :( A job application to sort out - scarey! Manic at work and far to hot to be standing in a classroom all day.

We are going to get the barbie out for the first time this year today :)

The Layout above was started last week and although the blue background card was a good colour match, it was too "bright" not sure that dabbing the brown acrylic over it was my best idea but its done now LOL.

And For Dad

For Cav

Another day has gone

I'm still all alone

How could this be

You're not here with me

You never said goodbye

Someone tell me why

Did you have to go

And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself

How did love slip away

Something whispers in my ear and says

That you are not alone

For I am here with you

Though you're far away

I am here to stay

M.J.

How apropriate these words are today.

Phewwww its hot!!

But I am not complaining :) Just glad I am not at work today!

I went to the Wyverstone monthly crop yesterday and did the class kit (above). Had a great time as usual and almost finished another layout- just needs tweeking.

Only three more weeks of term left , so it is getting manic at home AND at school. LOADS of school trips. Meg went to London to see Blood Bros on Thursday thanks to the FAB teaching assistant to drew up her insulin for her for her pre tea injection :)

So Sad

I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself and then make a change

So far

Today we got up late , but not too late. Dex cooked us breakfast and on Fathers day! The card finally got done yesterday afternoon :)

Now working on twisted sketches No 2 challenge.

Twisted Sketches

My "go" at the new challenge blog that Anam has started. I followed the sketch and added some ribbon. I need to get started on this weeks new sketch now!!

Also getting ready for Fathers day tomorrow Fab idea from here Mine is nowhere near as good but once it is full of chocs , will look better. Need to make the card to go with it now.

It was a busy week

So no photos ........yet. I do have a lo that is almost done and just needs sticking down, so will hopefully get that done today :)
We are still really broke atm ( having spent well over £1000 on both our cars recently!) So i need to MAKE something for Dex from the kids tomorrow.
I have finished supporting in the Exams for now, there are still a few for the 6th formers though. Its really strange at school now that the yr 11 have left , i really liked this lot! Still, a few have added me as friends on face book so i will be able to keep in touch :)
We had a power cut on Monday night right in the middle of cooking tea :( It lasted for about 4 and a half hours, so after getting fed up of playing games and reading, we all had an early night. Why is it that you always desperately want a cup of coffee when there's no power? Thankfully my sis (who lives down the road from me and had no power cut) brought me a flask :)
Still sticking ( mostly- elec supply allowing) to the weekly menu. It seems to be working well , i am not throwing so much food away and we are definitely eating healthier.
Right that's about it for now .Will be back later with photos :)
