Just popping in to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and all the Best for the New Year.

I still have plenty to get ready in time for the big fella's visit (nothing like last minute dot com), but a cold has hit me and everything seem's to be taking an age to get done, it will get done but a little slower than planned...

Ching Ching and here's to a good one...

Ho Ho Ho MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

School's Out

Ok the holidays have started so it must mean Christmas is on it's way, and I have still plenty to do nothing like last minute . com, hey!!!
Most of the shopping is done there are still a few peep's to sort out, and I'm still waiting on a gift to be delivered for my little lady, fingers x it will be here Monday... and that she don't see it before santa delivers... :)

Now I just need to plan for what we are going to do next week untill the big fella come's down the chimney, well we don't have a chimney just a special key and he'll need it this year as our back door is causing a problem for us at the mo it's LOCKED and staying LOCKED ( need to get a locksmith out to fix it) just what ya need NOT!!!!..

Well I hope everyone else is havin fun at this festive time... Ching Ching.....

Forest Fairies...

Lauren is staring as a Forest Fairy in the school Christmas Show and she needed a costume so good ol mummy has made one I took it into school yesterday for the dress rehearsal. On picking Lauren up from school she told me it had a hole in the back, so mummy has been playing with sewing machine again repairing and tweeking......


Now don't laugh!!!! I know I am no dressmaker.....







Well I feel the need to do some scrapbooking, but now a school run is a must so watch this space...

Forest Fairies...

Hey it's December!!!

Well it's 4 day's in now how did that happen....

I have very little planned for this Christmas but did sit and write some card's out last night, the Christmas shopping is going slow. I don't know why I can't get motivated this year..

I am working on a Cj at the mo (sorry Debbie) it's not playing ball as I have very little in the line's of pic's of me. (So hate the camera pointing my way, but must change this though as I have hardly any of my mum because she was the same and as she is now longer with us, it's just memories I have, and being a scrapper I like having pic's to go with the memories now)...

I also have a couple of mini page's I'm working on for project next year with Indigo Mill, and talking of the Mill the Christmas kit is out and there are two FAB kit's to choose from so go check them out Here they are both pretty yummy... Some of the DT Girl's have been having a play and you can check their work out over at the Pond pretty soon..

Will try and start a Christmas mini at crop tomorrow, well that's the plan anyway...

Hope your all having fun out there...

Pleased to Say!!

Well I am pleased to say that my little girlie has gone back to school today, she is feeling much better now and for some reason was happy about going back today....

The school photo's are being retaken today which is another good thing that she went back today, finger's X they are as good as the last ones but without the tango-ness...

Well off to finish some house stuff (swear, curse, spit) so I can play with my stash later would much rather be playing with it now and say pant's to the house stuff but it need's to be done as no-one else will do it...

It's a Lazy One!!!

I am feeling so LAZY today, really can't find the energy to get going... I think my lack of sleep is now catching up with me, so maybe today I shall just CHILL and potter about if I need to.. Can't seem to drag my self away from the laptop so might just stay here he he he.....

Hope you're having a good day?

I Did A LO!!

Thought I'd share the LO I did on my day off (Saturday). I had a ball, did feel a little quilty leaving my little lady when she has not been well, but daddy did an ok job.

PRIMA is just so YUMMY!!!

Thank's Steph and Marie had a giggle....

My Day Off!!!

I am getting a day off, I so laugh about my day off when crop day come's round...

My little lady is feeling much better in herself so Daddy is in charge today his turn to be Florence, and incharge of the DVD's well I say DVD's there has only been one to watch since we came home and that is 'Hannah Montana the movie' (yesterday it was on 4 times), I will be expert... So glad she is feeling better now finger's x we get to reduce the multi dosing somemore on Monday when we go back to the Dr's. YEAH my girlie is getting better......

Yeah it's crop day..... and I think weeee bit of me time needed....

Alison has lot's of thing's planed for crop today, make and take's and Steph from Indigo Mill is bring the Web Shop, so looking forward to that as I have seen some paper's that are just so yummy... Plus demo's, let's hope I actually do some scrapping and not just spending and chatting lol oh and eating CAKE!!!!.

School Photo's Back

I was given Lauren and Mason's school photo's this morning. I'm not over happy with the quality of them, my babe's look ORANGE (like the Tango ad) and the white background let's just say is more of a grey smugy colour but only on some of the smaller print's..
School has complained as most of the parent's were also not happy, and it look's like a re-sit might be on the cards but they are still looking into what will be happening and if they are going to find someone else to do another sitting. Hopefully something will be sorted soon you know how these pic's make lovley gift's at Christmas...

Just about There...

My little lady is feeling much better in herself but we are still having to take thing's easy... we now have antibiotic's to add to the many other meds so fingers x this will help thing's along for her...


These are a few pic's of my make's with the November Kit from Indigo Mill. I had fun using this kit hope you like my take on it... (sorry pic's are not the best)

It's Been a While

It's good to be back, so where do I start as it's been a while.

Well I have been lost from the land of Blogging and Surfing due to having problems with our internet conection, it's just not been happening. With our providers messing us about to get it sorted.
Hubby nearly reached boiling point on one of the many conversation's he had with them, everthing just seemed to take forever, and having to explain everything to each person he spoke to just went on and on. But eventually we are back and connected.

Not having the internet has been a real pain because this month it's my time to be creative with this month's kit from Indigo Mill, I had fun but couldn't get my work out there for you's all to see... Steph has took pic's for me, when we got together at a local crop, so hopefully I can get them out there soon.

Friday the 13th was not a good one for me, (it don't normally bother me though, I just don't think about it really) but I had to take my little girlie into hospital with an asthma attack, we had to stay in all weekend only got home last night, we are both completely shattered so it's a few easy day's for us me think's.
She so scared me Friday to see her so poorly but it's good to be home.

Hopefully be back with some creative thing's soon and pic's but must catch up on this sleep thing that I have had lack of and look after my little girlie.

Under the Weather

My little man has not been himself and last night had a really high temp so mummy had to do the Florence thing again and spent the night comforting him and reading stories cause he couldn't sleep... I am pretty shattered now but at least he is sleeping now....

AARRGGGHHHHH Computer's....

I am wishing I was so much better with computer's.

I have been updating my logo for Indigo Mill and on checking it for the link to the shop it is coming up with error page not found, so I went back to check link in a post I made the other day and it's the same (sorry if anyone has tried to access link) I don't know what has gone wrong.... If anyone has ideas please leave a comment...
Before long my little peeps will know more about puters, maybe I should get them to teach me lol lol....

I'm on a Roll!!

Well after finishing one mini yesterday, I made a start on the other and guess what finished that one too!!!
Didn't want to bore you with all the pages so have just popped a quicky pic of both together before I delivered them.
They are slightly different but also very similar as this was what Karen wanted me to do....

Now on to the next project's some Christmas mini's me think's and my Cj's to do.

Oh What a Day!!!

Well my day started quite early (05.50) with my little man waking me telling me he felt sick only to rush to the bathroom, so he has had the day off school. He has managed to have me running about doing the Florence thing all morning but I think he is feeling a little better now as he is getting a little more active.....

But with all this I have finished a little mini I started yesterday (one more still to make) and have done a CJ entry which is a little behind.... So just another couple of CJ's to do and this other mini, what to start first????

Hope you like it.....

Bella Flower Cork Mini Album

Ok here is my latest mini, it is using the Bella Flower Cork Mini and some lovely Ruby Rock-it Vintage Bueaty paper's which you can get from Indigo Mill.... Sorry the pic's are not the best battery on the camera went so had to go with these ones for now as wanted to let ya's know what I'd been up to....

Sorry this a quick post having a few puter issues and for those of you who know me will know I'm really not the best with puter's, pretty bad actually I know, but one day (don't know when though) I'll know what I am doing.....

ME Time!!

Oh thank goodness it's crop day and Me time here I come!!!.....

This week seem's to have gone by so quick and being busy with school stuff for the little peeps and house stuff I am so looking forward to a little Me time away from the house, OH and SCRAPPING YIPPEEEEEEEE!!

Ok Where Did The Time Go???

Oh my goodness, where has the time gone it's been nearly a month since I have been here. Mind you not to much to report on at the minute but I do have some project's 'In The Making' but thing's have been a little slow as I have had a few problem's with my wrist, having to wear a splint does not help matter's and the pain killer's make me feel so drowsy well more than normal.... (you can stop laughing now, he he he chuckle chuckle)...

At the moment I am working on a little bella flower cork mini from Indigo Mill, and have been asked to make a few small mini albums for people to give as (WARNING!!!! the C word coming up) Christmas gift's... Hopefully I can get thing's going and post some piccies soon... I also have a couple of CJ's to get finished so wish me luck.....

Ok Mini Allert....

Ok this is my little mini that I have been working on, it has taken me a month to finish as I have only been able to grab minutes here and there to do any scrapping... I really don't know where time has gone... I do still need to add a title to the mini but thought I'd show you it now as I can't make up my mind what pic's to use at the mo....

I am hoping to start another mini tomorrow at my local crop where the lovely girls from Indigo Mill are bringing their shop for us to have a good old spree. I'm looking forward to seeing them as it will be the first time since I was chosen to join their DT....

Where has the time gone??

I have been a little laps in my blogging so sorry there, will try and get on track again now my little peep's are back in school.


I do have a little something to report today though and I'm quite pleased. I popped a post on Sue's Blog while she was holding a use your stash week and was a lucky winner of some stash she was giving away. I never win so this is fab and havin some new to play with will really get the mojo flowing again.... Thank's Sue I feel a mini album coming on.....

So here's a peek at my stash goodies I received yesterday (sorry it's not the best pic)....

Sorry it's been a while for blogging, but with the past few day's of the school hol's being pretty nice on the weather front we have been out and about, so not much to report on the scrapping front.. I have also had a birthday so been enjoying that too....

Hopefully will get into some scrapping soon as I have some birthday pennies, there is a new tool I think I NEED but I'm still giving it some thought... will let ya's know when I've made up my mind....

So with this being the last week of the school break I have a little well a lot still to do, school uniform to get washed and named, oh and the need to get new lunch boxes and to check the school shoes still fit.... but today I'm getting together with some friends and we are going to PLAY!!!! well the little peep's are, us mum's are going to do what we do best CHAT!!!

Hope you are all enjoying the weather and having a fun time... and maybe I'll have some scrapping to report later...

I AM SO PANT'S WHEN IT COMES TO COMPUTERS, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE?...

Crop LO

Well I'm back from crop and have had a relaxing time, I had told myself I needed to do a LO today and this is what I have so far.



I've just got to add my journalling but it isn't flowing at the mo, well I kinda know what I want to say but it need's tweeking before I add it to the page....
I did however start another coaster mini (couldn't help it just love 'em) but this is taking into account I'm using old stash...

So if you fancy winning some stash, Sue at http://justperspective.blogspot.com is inviting you to play along and use your stash....

Well I'm off to have a rummage through and pack a few thing's as I'm off to my local crop for some well deserved ME time (school holidays don't ya just love 'em) oh and a good natter, scrap and chat is a must :)....

Some AMAZING news

I have been waiting for a while to say something but I think it's ok now to speak out, and now that I have stopped jumping about the lounge (well almost)....

I made it onto the INDIGO MILL Design Team http://indigomill.wordpress.com/. To say I am pretty chuffed is an under statement.
I'm looking forward to the challenges ahead, can't wait to get started and start havin loads of fun with the team...

Off for another spin of the lounge he he he he he.....

There's More Candy Out There.....

Hey have been a blog hopping and found more CANDY... It's over at http://thecraftyden.blogspot.com/ wey cool.

I really should get some other stuff done but it's really not happening here..... wey to much candy to look at YUMMMY!!!!! and a girl loves candy....

She Liked Them!!!

I just thought I would let you know that I delivered the mini album's today that I have done and 'Sue Liked Them'.... I am so pleased it's a worry when you are making something for someone else, well it is for me.

So it is on to the next project(s) which is some ATC's and I'm having a go at a paper bag mini but the bag's I am using are a little bigger than the average lunch bag, as I don't have the smaller ones, I'm really trying to use some of the older stash that is still here so we will see how things go.

Something to have a look at...

I know two blog post's in one day and the day is not over yet.....

I have been over to http://withagrin.blogspot.com/ and Stephanie has a little bit of Candy up for grab's and it's looking pretty cool...

I Need This.....

Boy do I need this cuppa tea, I have just spent the night with my little peep's camping in the back garden, we read stories and they got to play on their DS's, not real camping but they had fun and shhhsh so did I :)

Sorry I really need this cuppa so only a quick post... Catch ya's later and hopefully some crafting to report too.....
Just a few pic's of the Garden Camping Crew...

All Done....

Well I have finished the other mini album now, this one seemed to take forever because of lack of time this week but I am pleased with how it turned out..... I just hope the lady I'm making them for is pleased too...... Does it show that I worry abit? lol......

Here are some of the photo's from our day out Tuesday..... We went to Holt Country Park, for a family picnic and a walk round wood's....

The Tower.....

At the top of the tower....

Finding our way on the Trail's....

Playing some woodland tunes....

After Holt Country Park we went on to Cromer were we had the company of just a few Lady Bug's (sorry that's Lady Bird's)... Well I say a few you couldn't walk without standing on them there was so many and they were landing on us the whole time we were there....

It's Been a While

Sorry been a little bit of a bad blogger, it's been a week since I last popped by....

Hubby has had a couple of day's off this week so not much time for crafting as we have spent some time out with the ickle peeps, will post a few pic's when I have a little more time....

My second mini album that I'm making is coming along, but due to havin fun with the ickle ones it's taking a little longer hopefully will get it finished this weekend....

Well we should be going on a picnic today but it look's like rain has stopped play, so it will be a good old carpet picnic me think's....

Take care peep's and have fun whatever you are doing today!!!!

Made a Start....

Well I say made a start!! Felt a ickle bit stressed today, (proberly just one of those day's) so I thought I would chill and make a start on these mini album's I have been asked to do, but I think I played for a ickle longer than I thought and have finished one of them..... so thought I'd show ya's how it turned out....

Advice Please.....

I have been asked to make some mini albums like the Bella Cork and the Shuffle Albums, which is good thing, but I don't know what to charge people for them. I find it so hard to judge what I should charge for thing's. I don't want to charge to much that I am never asked again or to under price that I'm out of pocket and I scrap on a budget as it is... So I could really do with your advice.... Hope you can help....

Where To Start?.....

I am having one of those day's where I don't know where to start, but have lot's to do IYKWIM (if you know whay I mean), so thought I'd make a brew and upload some of my crafty going on's.

This is a mini album that is based on a Shuffle album that Marion at a http://apieceofcraft.blogspot.com/ make's.....Mine need's bigger O-wires though....

This is a sneeky peeky of a Mini Tag Album for someone on UKS. It a surprise, so no telling now!!!!!

Well that's what I've been up to... So better drink up then I can get on with the day to day stuff, which will mean I can play some more..... YIPPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!

Have a good day....
