Sorry its a bit pink!

My lastest Lo is of Megans 14th Birthday last week. Sorry rubbish photos as it is dark now.

Eva

Is 15 today. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Holidays are such hard work!

My Children bicker all the time like toddlers! Three times this week i have been woken from my sleep to sort out fighting in the middle of the night Grrr. I am too tired to do anything but shout at them. At least they sleep in all morning, so i get a little peace then.

Dex is still off recovering :( He was hoping to go back to work to day ( i was hoping he was too) but has a Doc's appointment this afternoon as the op site ( i won't go into details!) is swollen and very sore :(

I can get more done when there's less people around...the trouble is I think i am going to get so much done ..the kitchen really needs finishing now that i started to decorate it , but as its so small and with everyone off..its almost impossible...sigh . At least I got to sort out Megs room and that means she is no longer spending hours in ours :)
Done some more scrapping. Green is my fave colour and i don't have that many layouts of Nats

My fav bit was doing the lettering, cut on the slice, painted with paint dabbers and inked aroundthe edges. The embossed with clear embossing powder at least 4 times, cracked and inked again.

Happy Easter

I managed to finish One Layout :D The Photo was Taken by Anet's friend Foss and is of Rosie blowing out Anet's candles ( fortunately you can't tell just how many there are! ;))

I used a sketch from the Prima site and got my crochet hook and cotton out for the circle frames (inspired by THIS woman's Amazing work!!)

As Dex is watching Rugby all day ( still recovering), I shall go back to scrapping in a min.
Have a wonderful day xx

I am Determined

To get some scrapping done today. I can't believe that i have been off for a week already and not done ANY! Admittedly I have had my sis over, Dex's little op and appointments but , usually I can't wait to get stuck in.
I have spent time on face book ( mostly wasting time!) and become a twitterer ( yup I KNOW i am already a twit!!) I do have two half done Lo to finish and a million cards to make so. will hopefully be back later with photos ( if there is enough light)

My New (old) Car

Is a Citroen Berlingo and I really like it :) Its No sporty car but that's not what i wanted:) I saw one at a scrapbook retreat last year and was impressed with the amount of stash you could get in the boot LOL! It is also very roomy for my tall children :)
I am off out in it to pick up one of my Fab sisters in it in a min. She is popping over for a quick pre Easter visit ( and to watch the children tomorrow while I take Dex for a small op in the morning )

MIA

Sorry end of term is chaotic!

Yesterday was Megan's 14th Birthday..WHERE does the time go?! She seemed to enjoy her day with friends popping in and out. We ended up in our PJ's ( OK for me a nighty as i don't DO pj's) watching TV and playing games. The boys went out bowling and stayed over in Ipswich, so it was just us girls :)

Dex collected my new car today and i was finally able to go for a drive in it. Feels OK. I have to go to Thetford on Tues so will have a better idea by then. It is NOT a new car OR a flash car but it IS what i wanted and there's LOADS of room inside.

Worn Out!

I had a lovely day at Wyverstone crop yesterday, although i mostly talked and did very little scrapping. I have a book ready to pop some photos in next week for a friend and i made a fab little 3D cupcake with a Paper pizzaz stencil that i borrowed. I accidentally ordered my own stencil today ooops!
VERY stressful day today as we ALL went to look at a new car for me. The car is just what i want but the children played up big time. We popped into the Range on the way home but they weren't any better behaved :( In fact Nats called us to the customer service counter when she had been to the loo as she couldn't be bothered to look for us!! Ahhhhh.
We have to go back and pick the car up next weekend ( as i didn't have that amount in cash on me)
One more week till end of term...I just wish i didn't have so many appointments in the holiday!!
Am half way though a Lo , will try to photograph it during the week and upload.

Nearly forgot

To show you my flowers. Not a great photo though ..i didn't get chance to arrange them till after tea and the light had gone. They are all white pink and purple and smell lovely. I also got 2 CD's a love songs one from Nats with a teddy bear ( that Meg ran off with!) and this Ronan keeting one from Dex.

Happy Mothers Day !

Just One Layout Today..And NOT from a sketch! LOL Using some of my very fav Products, Prima paintable paper, flowers and gems. I also got out my box of paints and finishes and ,after painting the frame, highlighting with stickles and pearls, glazed it with a tea glaze :) Also got to use my new lace punch ,great fun.

The pic is of Me, Mum and Dad about 1961-62 at Gt Yarmouth. Don't I look sulky!

I am not a big fan of Mothers Day since mum died and today has not been great. At least the sun has been shining and I was able to scrap this afternoon.

"Lost "is back tonight, so I shall open a bottle of wine and get the kids to bed early ;)

MoJo Holder Sketch

For this week. My St Pats Layout. Sorry the light is naff now.

Natalie was born in N Ireland when we were living at RAF Aldergrove.

We used to go shopping in Antrim and my heart goes out to the families who have recently been bereaved.

Last weeks Sketches Challenge

I am getting behind. This was Monday sketch . I still have two from MoJo Holder to have a go at but i only get time at the weekend and have been interrupted hundreds of times so far!!

At least the sun is shining :)

Might be back later ..you never know!

A quick layout

This is done using the pencil lines sketch this week. I am half way though another and will hopefully upload tomorrow.
Its been a hard week ( what week isn't LOL) Dan was in big trouble at school and is excluded for two days. We have another long chat but i am concerned that it might have something to do with the fact that we are slowly withdrawing one of his meds. The consultant did say that he might have more problems with temper but it needs to be over a period of time before we can be sure. That means he may well get into more trouble :( The good thing is that so far although his tics increased slightly, they seem OK now. The consultant has another type of medication ready if Dan needs it but as he has had to increase the meds for the night time epilepsy, I am not happy about starting more unless it is really necessary and of course we have to consider what Dan wants.
Work has also been hard this week, must be because there is so much going on at school. Some of the pupils seem off the wall too!

Last post this weekend

This weeks "sketches" Monday LO challenge. Used 12" x 12" as i don't do that many 12" x 6" Layouts.


I am SO missing those curls LOL!!

Pencil lines sketch

By the skin of my teeth this week :) I saved some of his curls when they were cut off last week.
