Wooops look at the time.....

Well I cant get to sleep, my house is like a jumble sale, got boxes everywhere and got to live like this until Friday...We have already taken at least 10 huge boxes and 10 black bags of rubbish to the tip, got rid of loads but still about 40 boxes to go through....boys decided that theres some of their toys they want to keep for when they have their own kids but I have made them go through everything with a fine toothcomb and make sure its not rubbish theyre keeping....the amount of toys up there was embaressing..god they were really spoilt...
Found a couple of boxes of LP's and had a little trip down memory lane even got the
1st 8 'Now that's What I Call Music' on LP, must have gone upmarket after that and bought them on cassette.lol.....as for the photos my god who the hell invented the shell suit should have been shot, me in a shell suit with a poodle perm now thats a sight you dont wanna see!!!!
Still looking for a box with all the boys 1st outfits and bits and bobs from the hospital because want to make them all scrapbooks and keepsake boxes, the lovely Gina gave me the idea because she is making one for her baby grandaughter....Anyways thats my little catch up best get off to bed and get some sleep, hope you are all well in blogland wherever you are.....hugs and happy crafting.....

Dads Birthday Cards





made with papernation die cut decoupage and papers, some bling peel offs from stash, jagged edge done with xcut punch.




Made with a pic found on the internet, watercoloured with pencils, paper is another download from the net and cut into 4 from a nestie, some bling peel offs and ribbon from stash. Sentiment from rubber stamp from clever cuts.

Finally got dad's cards uploaded, these are my 1st cards made since had my op, they took me ages even though theyre not fussy or anything, but he loved them and that's all that matters....After making cards for the family for years it get harder to some up with something defferent for all the men in my life....

Sunny Saturday....

The sun has got its hat on here in sunny Stonehaven, got the washing on the line and its nice to watch it blowing in the breeze, instead of the house looking like a chinese laundry....I managed to make a couple of cards for my dads birthday and only got the finishing touches to make to them so will get pics taken and upload them later. Hope the weather is nice wherever you are, hugs and happy crafting
