Really good day

I had such a great day yesterday, I went to my crop and had such a laugh with Jayne (she is as crazy as me) oh and congrats Jayne on becomming an auntie:). I had this beautiful wedding pic of me and James and started a layout then I was shown grungeboard then Jayne forced some wings on me oh and 2 crowns, next thing I knew the wings and crowns were on my layout making us look like a king and queen, anyway I couldnt think of a tiltle so the girls came up with ROYAL FAMILY - MY ARSE!!! That was it then we were giggling, and guess what the layout is called??? yep you guessed it....... (pic coming soon)
Me and James had a babysitter last night so we went for some food at Oriental express- this was lush eat as much as you like , spring rolls, crispy seaweed, crispy pancakes, s&s sauce and then pudding.... pancakes with deep fried icecream- oh my god this was soooooo lush!!! Try it- yum!!!

We then went to see sweeny todd, who can resist such a man like Johnny Depp even if he is a mass murdering psychopath, oh how I loved the film!!! and it is musical too you cant go wrong!!!
I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on resdesigning my blog - I am bored and want to make it more me, any ideas welcome......

Anyway I have spoken about some goodies I have to give away thanks to Mandy Parr:)
So anyway over the next week or so I will be giving a gift a day to someone who leaves me a comment I will also be setting a few challenges for you, Todays giveaway is for some MME Bohemia flowers (this includes 2 croched flowers and one big fabric flower as in pic below)
Anyway I have some news:) I am going to be starting my own page and project kits called 'Cleo's undomesticated scrapping kits' but more news on that soon:) (I would be greatful for any comments or suggestions you have on this idea)
Right I am going to get on with my day it is soo lovely out there we are going to take the kids out (may take my friend my camera too:)

This is sandy

This is Calanns hamster Sandy, she is sucha friendly little thing. Despite Noodles greatest efforts to try and get her , she remains with the upper hand (he climbs on hop of her cage , so she nibbles his toes) it is so funny to watch the 2 of them (obviously not unnatended) I took her out one day and left noodles in Cals room , so he put 1 paw in the cage then 2 paws then the 3rd then climbed in, I cant tell you how funny it was. I am going to set him up for a photo shoot I think , just imagine it:)
Anyway I am off to stroud with mandy today to go to paper arts and a fabric shop, I love shopping , but I must bee good (its crop day tomorrow too). I am also waiting for my order with my kits for the chepstow crop, I am really excited about it now!!!

Anyway have a good day

Toddler tantrums

I am very pleased with my design for my kit that I have designed for the chepstow crop class in just 2 weeks. I have based it on a valentines theme and am using reds, whites and b&w photos (I just love b&w pics:)!) Cant show you the design just yet, but will put up a sneeky peek once I have recieved all the products.
Evan is now much bettter after his chicken pox and has reverted to his old toddler tantrummmy self (he is not fun atm!!) He wees everywhere!! he keeps saying 'NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!' lol he is hard work but is very funny at the same time. Dont you just love kids???
Going to the modscraps crop on sat- really looking forward to it as I havent been since nov- seems like such a long time ago now, hmmmmm will I actually get anything done or will I just sit and chat (probably the latter)

I have been on the mod scraps design team for a couple of months too and am gonna share some of my creations on here :) I was so loving making these little gingerbread men cards (the little felt gingerbread man come out of his pocket to be used as a tree deco) though James dad turned around and asked me why a makka pakka???? does it look like makka pakka???!!!Evan has the chicken pox at the moment poor lil man he is really covered!!!
