Lovley Day...


....in the end. Started off a bit mad, with Megan fussing about what to wear to go to a friends party. We had nearly all her clothes down all over the place grrrr . In the end she wore her first choice!! She is still out and its so peaceful here :)

Nats has been off shopping all day to and Dan has been in and out all day. I SHOULD have got my homework done but....instead watched three eposodes of Greys season three. Even better than the first two, if thats possible. I have been sitting at my PC watching with tears streaming down my face LOL good job no one came to the door!!

I have done this weeks pencil lines sketch . No 28.

I was going to try to do 6" x 12" but managed 8 x 12 instead. Decorated my bazzill bling with cherry arts rubber stamps.
didn't scan too well as it is quite lumpy , with the chipboard clipboard.

What a day!!!!!!

I am shattered. After two weeks off work, it has been really hard to get back into the swing of things. I forgot how far I walked each day and how little I get to sit down. That i only get one coffee a day. Today we were three TA's down and my timetable got changed so many times. At one point, i was supposed to be looking after two different children ( in different parts of the school) and going to a meeting , all in my lunchtime...thankfully it got changed. Needles to say , my family are all walking on eggshells tonight.
I have loads of homework to do over the weekend too( for my NVQ course on Monday). So not much rest :(
Went to Dan's annual review yesterday, it was great, he had met all his targets ( BRILL!) and has had some new ones set. It is a lovely school, just wish it was nearer.
Absolutely no scrapping done since last week. Hopefully i will get some done at Wyverstone next week :) Really looking forward to going.

Happy Birthday Eva


This beautiful young woman is 13 today and she is my niece.
I have stopped scrapping for a little while to catch up on "other" work ..am almost there...sigh.
Should be another quiet day as my boys are off to football this afternoon ( i think for the last time this season).

And another


Thought i ought to do a pencil lines sketch since i have a link to the site! I did have good intentions to do most of these but life gets in the way. I am sure that when i am back at work next week i shall be back to doing an average of one LO every two weeks!
I love the pizzazzill card ...great for monochromatic pages.
Time for a coffee i think :)

Two more LO's




Been scrapping most of the day as the children have been out playing. I will need to catch up on other stuff tomorrow though. I have homework ( from my course ) to do ..about four hours worth. And two lessons to plan for when i get back to work next week.
The LO on the underneath is this weeks "speshal" dare: "Contrasts". Used the Craft robo to cut the web and skull ( both from the templates thread on UKs)
The one on the top is the UKs weekly challenge: Use decorative edges, toes and something foreign in the LO. It is Nets and Rose from the weekend.

Nats is at her friends and staying for tea. They went to Diss yesterday on the bus and i counted the secs till they were back. It is only the second time that they have been together. They are hoping for sunshine tomorrow so they can go for a picnic in the park.

Meg is the only one home and watching Tv ( playing with Bratz ) :)

I couldn't resist the paper for the LO above..SO Megan!!LOL Its a bit noisey and seems to have scanned a bit darker ( probably all the 3D stuff)
