Catch up..

Well things have been a bit mad since my last post.


Went to visit family in Somerset last weekend and allow sad as father in law was poorly and in hospital we had some time to relax and be together.

here are a few picks of Burrow Mump... I have to admit i only made it half way up as it was very steep and i was being a big girls blouse and to frightened that i would fall over on the way back down .. and I couldn't drive home if i had twisted my ankle!!!




We also went to Cleeve Abbey that was also very pretty and the weather was just great all weekend.








We got home late on Sunday after the 4hour drive, back to work Monday then sadly we had a call Monday night to go back to Dad as he had taken a turn for the worse. Drove back to Somerset late on Monday and got to the hospital about midnight. Dad passed away Tuesday morning and it has been a very sad week. We came home late on Thursday and well be back next week to say goodbye. Just want to say thanks to all my dear friends that sent there love and best wishes, thank you xx

Normal Crafting activity to return soon, in fact I have placed a BIG order with Steph today to cheer me up! will keep you posted xx

Indigo Mill - September Kits

Hi there all, been a bit slow on the blogging and crafting this week, having a bit of a creative slump :O(
I did manage to put a couple of pages together with bits and bobs from the Indigo Mill September kits that were kindly given to me by Steph a couple of weeks back.
the paper here was so pretty i just couldn't cut it up! so unusual for me i know but i used it just as it is!


Used the new Slice on this last on to make the flowers and the title, and my other new fave - Scrapper's Floss! - on the buttons x
Have a good week all, I will be in Southampton all week but have packed some paper and scissors to make a mess in the hotel room LOL!!

Yipppeee ... Bank Holiday!!!!!!!

Well i have been up at the crack of dawn to get my CPD sent of to the Institute for Learning so that i didn't get struck off for missing the deadline!


With that done the next job on the list is have a grand sort out... where do you start!! i have so much junk in the craft room and more pressingly in the wardrobe... must get rid of stuff i don't use / don't ware then there would be room to store the stuff i do!


oh well i might just play with paper all day. i have finished off a couple of pages this morning...


this one used the Thickers given to me but the lovely Steph xxxx (much love and gratitude to you Steph) and i cut the "Cherish " with the new Slice.

This double page is based on a club kit design by Karen and is my cousins dog Christmas Last Year...such a well behaved animal

Been Playing

Well all was well at the dentist, had the filling that fell out replaced. I had the tooth filled without any injection, it was ok as I had previously had the nerve removed! Back in a couple of weeks for another one.

Have had a little play with the new toy and have made a little tool box to put the bits and bobs in.
