bag making frenzy!!

I am an addict - what can i say, these little babies are keeping me up at night! Im in luurrvveeee!! They are fully lined and will each have their own little differences (buttons, ribbons on the handles etc) Working my socks off here with dh on a project that will hopefully see him spending more time at home and us both doing something we are really enthusiastic about - more about that later! :)

So excited as im flying down to Debden at the weekend for a complete friendfest! About 30 of us scrappers are getting together for a girly/scrapper/tipsy weekend - and its going to be fab, so much planning has gone into it thanks to suzanne and claire and im giddy about meeting lots of peeps who i havent before as well as getting back together with a few old friends :D

House hunting and scrapping!!

yep ive been doing both this weekend!! We have travelled miles today looking for a new house.....saw one i fell in love with, gorgeous stone built country house.....not so gorgeous when we saw the price!!! Almost £600k!!! Jeez...why dont my lottery numbers come up - heck i dont even win £10 let alone enough to buy my dream house!! LOL

I worked out how to thread my new sewing machine so have been stitching everything in sight! Will upload a couple of layouts as soon as the camera is charged :) Heres a couple more beach shots in the meantime ......
I couldnt believe how long my hair looks in the pic above - its the longest its EVER been!!

lol good start!!!

ok i am here!! sorry im 2 days late but i got Ben to draw the winning name on Tuesday night but it was too late to post and i started homeschooling Jake so things have kind of taken on a life of its own there! LOL In 9 months at nursery he has played with toys and come out with a few choice words - thats it!! 3 days at home and he is writing his name and raring to go every morning - im so proud of this kid!

How freaky does scott look in this pic - i swear it was a complete accident as i meant to get him looking like a captain (he was on a wooden ship!) but he ended up looking like a bl**dy elephant! LOL :)


The dares went live tonight and im back in the team after a break - heres my layouts, i tell you its good to be scrapping again!
Not to prolong it anymore - THE WINNER OF THE GOODIE BAG IS....











ISOBEL......... if you can email me your full name and addy honey i will get your parcel out to you straight away :D :D

Tired but Happy!

First off - mwahahahah darling dh looksie at the post below - see im not billy no mates!! *sticks tongue out* :)

What a fab day today has been, it actually felt kind of summery!! The sun was shining and gee wasnt it blinking hot - i swear i should just leave the shower running here as we all get a little bit niggly when we overheat! Today being sunday it was time for dh to go heli flying - not before we all headed off to the skate park though to tire the kids out a bit - fun was had by all and i got some fab photos!!

How excited does this kid look!! Haha - I swear you would think he never got out of the house, he was like a little happy bomb waiting to explode just whizzing round the park and creating havoc everywhere! LOL

Jake is such a brooding, thoughtful little kiddo. He often comes over to me and tells me if i havent had enough cuddles and kisses for the day, ask him what he is and his answer ........'Mams soulmate' - i swear my heart melts every time he says it!

almost 3 months!!!!

yep, shocking!! Its almost 3 months since i updated this blog! I havent a clue where to start or what to say that wont have you running for the hills but sadly we have had a bad couple of months here....lets leave it at that eh and move on to something happy :)

Im coming back with a vengence and intend to scrap my little heart out tomorrow! Will update with some pictures from the weekend too - we have been to the beach, house hunting -yep we need out of here already - part of the crappy last couple of months...ahem moving on... (in more than one sense... haha) and we have all generally been taking advantage of DH having a long weekend off work :D

Heres one ive photoshop'd already to make it a bit lighter - the fret from the sea was making things fuzzy!

I still cant believe im mum to an 11 year old!! Yep, Ben turned another year older in May!

Anyways, I promise to update hopefully once a day if not every other day - lets just see if anyone has missed me or if i am indeed (as DH says) talking to myself! LOL Im going to offer a goodie bag to whoevers comment (even just a hello will do :) ) gets pulled out of the hat on....say.....Tuesday.....that gives me 3 days to hope i have at least one visitor to prove DH wrong! LOL
