Getting there..

Almost finished my project for Kirstys weekend, just need to add some finishing touches and work out the supplies list then im set :) Flights are booked and im meeting Natalie O Shea and we are travelling together meeting Kirsty in Manchester....i think we have a little girlie time too so that should be fun!

Been full of busy here as the kids are coming down one by one with sore throats, sniffles and 'the bug' - why is it they can never all get it at once, get it out of the way and done with in say a week or so. Noooo, my life at the minute is dirty tissues and kids who just want snuggles all the time - who can refuse though when those big brown eyes just beg for a cuddle :)

Ive received another journal in the Alphabetica circle journal group im in - its absolutely gorgeous!! Will post piccies of my finished page once its dried - i cant believe we are at he half way point if not past it! A lot of the girls were meeting up at CHA this week, im so gutted i couldnt be there as they are all truly amazing artists but i guess thats the only downside of working with 24 girls from the states and 1 from Italy! LOL Oh well maybe next year!! :)

Time for a change...

Ok so ive given in to the powers that are blogger! Yes, i know, i know - all those that have blogger accounts have said 'no dont do it' but I just can't seem to do anything on my other blog and im already in love with the format here. I'm going to move a couple of posts from the past few days over from the other blog - i just hate the thought of losing everything ive wrote since the middle of 2005 :( If anyone knows how i can keep the info please let me know :)

Today i started working on the project for the class im teaching in February ( Kirsty's Creative Photography Day), so so excited about it all and just can't wait to see this project completed - its so cute and I just hope everyone loves it :)




How cute is this kid!! We stood at the window watching the snow fall and i think its the first time he realised just how exciting it all is - he was so happy and giggling the whole time! Sadly, not enough snow to do anything major like snowball fights or building igloos but hey it was fun while it lasted (...yep all 5 minutes of it!) LOL

I cant believe the talent we have on Everyone is speshal... - just look at the new girls who have just joined us, go down to the first post that was done yesterday to see a little piccie and a rundown of all the fab accomplishments the girls have achieved...intimidated, moi - erm yeah just a bit!!
The dare this week was to get in the kitchen and get creating....thats exactly what i did - i nabbed one of the cake trays and made an altered project for my craft room......i love it, and it has all my favourite bits on it too!! We have so many fun projects and ideas lined up its so good to see the Speshals looking so damn fantastic!

If you upload a link to your creation for that week to it will go into a showcase gallery on the blog and it will give you entry into a prize draw for some yummy goodies! :D :D
Have been doing some christmas shopping too - yes i know its early but when things are so flaming good in the sale right now its just beggin to be bought! Now just need to find some really good hiding spaces! Mwahahahahahaaa

Dare #37 is up...

I missed doing the speshal dares while i was offline for a while but now im back and getting into the swing of it again. We have loads of ideas for the re-vamp, there will be new girls coming on board, a gallery for everyone to upload there layouts too, sponsorship and a monthly prize. Things are changing and boy it will be great - something to get the creative juices flowing again yayyy!!
The photo i used this week was the one shown earlier of jake doing his 'over the shoulder' 'you cant see me' 'arent i cool' wink! Ever since he learned how to wink its been the 'in' thing to do - well, that and his thumbs up sign! Cool dude!!
Ok, enough for now as im off out shopping this afternoon and visiting sis to see her new flat :)
