rocking on

is exactly way I have been doing this week. Kicked off with the AMAZING stage show of ROCK OF AGES, it was brilliant not like anything I have seen before funny, rude, loud and well rocking'. 


The rest of this week has been pretty rocking too - starting off with Mum and Margaret popping round to scrap - although really I should be moaning about how ill I feel cos Margaret had a nasty cough and cold and was worried about passing it on, however if I did I would be lying!! and Margaret would feel terrible :) I did scrap quite a bit and loved it.


I used this sketch on Sketchabilites #73 couldn't wait to use my new paper

I love you

 Basic Grey - Whats Up

I then got a bit bogged down with various meetings, reports and event plans and so on. However have a look here its all coming together so well.


Then tonight I am out with the girls, tomorrow I am at a cocktail party, then it's the weekend when I am going to a picnic :) - not bad huh

Crafting in the rain!

Blogging again on another wet Monday morning! Getting a little fed up of this weather to be honest, yesterday I  was sitting having lunch in the sun and today well its cold and very wet! I guess it won't change as Wednesday I am helping with Kids Out - we are taking some children to Whipsnade Zoo and Thursday the Queen is visiting Hitchin and again I am helping with the children so at least another 2 more wet days guaranteed! Plus number one son has gone to brighton with some mates so all in all reckon the rain is here to stay lol


So I am taking the sensible option of scrapping - and listening to music. Ed Sheeran and Jason Mraz are my current faces with a little of my old faves of 10CC and Wings thrown in - yup I am that old.


One LO completed although to be fair it has been started oooo so long ago and I haven't had time to finish it. 

Relaxing in the Florida Sunshine

all that lovely Florida sun shine! Need to go back :)

Christmas 2011

Now back to scrapping and some wedding invites to make, mmmm which to do first?

Hope you stay dry!!

Colder and Colder

Can it get any colder? I am up and down the garden like a yo-yo defrosting the chicken water - getting bored with it now!


Still I am keeping warm indoors as I have 
just cooked 6 lasagnes - I am smiling as I do it cos that means its 6 weeks and we fly out to Florida. The lasagnes are for the boys - all cooked and ready to freeze to be warmed up and then the dish thrown away - how hard can it be? I was hoping that it would mean they would maybe manage to clear up after themselves. Think maybe when we face time them I will ask to see the kitchen!


I have couple of LO's to share. My first ever LO without a title but I figured the photo kind of said it all - this is for Kaths challenge over on CBC - we had to use bling, wings and pretty things!

Santa Monica Pier

 Jillibean Soup - Blossom Soup

Some misting AND some stamping with paints:)

Finally a LO I did for the sketch on Lets Capture these Sketches #117

I did toy with the title Beach Bum - made me laugh!!

Basic Grey Phresh & Phunky

Can you tell I am on a mission to use up my old papers?

Duller and Duller

What a dull dreary day in more ways than one - I am sitting here having break from school governor paperwork  which isn't much fun! Mind you I did also have a quick look and its only & weeks till we fly to Florida :) And my cooker is being cleaned as I type - money VERY well spent. 


Doug did the 10 miles run on Sunday in around an hour and 40 minutes he was well chuffed - I am very proud of him, all this running - he does it a lot has meant he has lost over 2 stone in weight!!


Saturday was spent scrapping Steph managed 11 yes 11 LO's all with paint and sprays amazing - me I think I did 3!!!! I did talk a lot though :) and ate cake - the most yummiest chocolate cake
So in spite of what I said earlier.....

Seriously considering a takeaway tonight - don't want to mess up my sparkly cooker!!

my weekend

and I am back again - bit of a surprise to me to be blogging again lol. As I said things have slowed right down for me so its nice to sit here and waffle a bit. Had a lovely weekend with Doug - did some more shopping Christmas and food. Spent a morning at the golf shop with Dan spending his birthday money - result one very happy chap. Had lunch at Cafe Rouge, watched the Hitchin christmas light switch on and did a couple of 5km runs. Doug pottered around in the garden - he is looking to fence in an area for a couple of pigs!!!! and I scrapped. 
I did the ribbon challenge for Twisted Sketch #129 

 Is all a bit Pants

why do my boys wear such lovely clothes and then wear them like this?

Authentique

I then did an A4 LO (actually not quite its American letter size) I have been looking at these for ages and thought I would have a go so I played along at Stuck Sketches
