the end :( I do have another one but no time today

Honey I'm home

have you missed me ? - wow you can certainly talk spent forever blog catching up!!! Loved having a nosey though - now seems like I have NEVER been away

So my honeymoon - FAB FAB FAB so much sitting and chilling. We were on the Gulf Coast in Florida - the beaches wow miles and miles of silver sand and not a soul on them...BLISS. We had fantastic meals loads of fresh fish - not for me I don't do fish (well apart from prawns - which they call shrimps) but Doug was introduced to grouper. We also had a 'pet' alligator!!! and turtle

However we were both pleased to see the boys when we got home - we had never left them that long before - they had a grand time at Grandmas BUT were pleased to see us and loved the fact we spoilt them - new clothes and PSP games DVDs etc!! However David did mention yesterday morning that he now had longer to walk to school!!! My mum lives VERY near his school!!! I suggested he may like to move - he seem to be considering it

...and yeah I SHOPPED lovely scrap book shops and I managed a few crafty purchases including a bargain (£100) Cricut just stopped playing with it to Blog but I am loving it. Will have to show you pics later.

oooOOOoooo and my CJ landed today - its has been rounds a FABBY group of talented ladies - HONEST it is a mini work of art - here's a look at my pages will add more later

So my crafty friends looking at your blogs I have been bowled over by your talents - I have loads to inspire me thank-you for sharing :)

off to play with my STASH!!!

oooo Em and Lise have I mentioned ribbons!!!

a quick round up

OMG what a crap bad blogger I am - or did I want to leave my rock star son up there for longer?? lol


OK so manic week - Love the fact kids are off school - no having to get up and do the school morning stuff - BUT sadly I have a couple of orders to complete and I really wanted to play.


Still the money will be be nice cos I am off to Florida on Monday YAHOOOOO a late honeymoon for Doug and I and NO BOYS - we are going here have a look such luxury - a pool and a hot tub. Then a short walk to the beach and sunsets BLISS.

......and craft shopping have I mentioned that I do intend to have a chill out relaxing holiday BUT craft shopping is sooooo relaxing yeah?



So back to NOW - washing machine packed up FAB HUH no worries Mum lives just round the corner - except hers has been dead for the last 2 weeks - BUT she has an engineer round later today - so fingers crossed please.


Doug and I purchased an ipod nano at the weekend TO SHARE - we really MUST talk about what share means. Its a fab little tiny gadget with a lovely sound so we have 120 songs each to upload mmmmm should be fun.



I can show you these Daisy Crazy ATCS now... I love making these

OK not really much else to say - Doug loved his Valentines tin - just as well! - I guess I will see you all when I return at the beginning of March

Will miss you - I do love to have a nosy into your lives - don't blog too much *WINK*

A bit like the cows tail ....

ALL BEHIND :)

Em and Carol are launching FANTASTIC scrappin' Challenges and me in my own little world thought I had weeks...but No so 'Me' was done Friday with the next challenge finished on Saturday......so I can breathe. Actually I do love these Scrappin challenges I have so much to learn and half my problem is not knowing where to start and what photo to use to at least with the challenges I get a starting point IYSWIM...so here they are

I LOVE the photo of ME not cos its of me BUT because of what you can't see........I am in a skanky nasty vest top, no make up, and the tattiest pair of holey cut off jeans you EVER have seen...and I am watching the boys in the pool as I read and eat my breakfast and ITS NOVEMBER AND 8.30AM...oooo that'd be Florida then :)

and now my boys......

A lovely week end for us...our usual manic Saturday, Dan has to be here and David has to be there and we do the carrying and then a quieter Sunday...Doug and I delivered some wedding Stationery and then headed to Milton Keynes. We had a lovely lunch in Chiquitos and then a mooch round the shops...and I had M & S vouchers now apart from Craft shops this is my fave shop in the world and I never spent a thing ...I do need more practise.

Just a quick thank-you for the lovely comments you have been leaving...the Elegant lady stamps, as I call them, are from Friends and Oyster stamps
