Yesterday and sneek peeks

Yesterday Jayne came to visit with her daughter Keira. We had great fun with the 2 of them playing with playdoh!! (and me and Jayne too!!!) But we didnt expect Evan to do this!! - Evan was playing with Keira upstairs with some beads (hama beads to iron!!) Evan walked down the stairs mumbleing something and the he showed me the bead that was stuck up his nose!! Poor little thing just wanted it out and kept poking his finger up his nose pushing the bead further!! So Jayne held his hands and I got some tweesers!! - It didnt work !! So we had to teach him to blow his nose. And after 3 hard blows the bead flew out shooting my leg which Evan thought was hilarious!!!! He was fine through the whole thing and actually thought it was funny!!! Well just a typical afternoon in my house !!! Jayne couldnt have realised what she was in for !!!

So the kit - I have been working on!!! Here are a couple of sneek peeks for you, as I said before the kit is a double project kit with 2 projects to work on !!!

This one is a mini book to make an A-Z of me and the other is

a layout/ home decor (its up to you to decide which) more pics soon but I do have to say these papers are LUSH!!!!! I hope you like polka dots!!!

Right I have to get ready to get up the school for the 3rd time today!!!

Artcards crop

Everyone at Sat's Artcards 12 hour crop!!!


Saturday was fab - Great company, venue, cakes and shop !!!
Unfortunately I was having one of those days where I couldn't remember my words!!!! Not good when your teaching!!! So I hope everyone understood me!! :D!! I taught 2 classes a cute and very pink mini book (I will show you a pic asap!!) and this layout.
The day went so quickly, but I really do have to mention the cakes - wow what cakes made by Pippa and Karen's mum (mmmmmmmmmmmmm, drool , mmmmmmmm) Chocolate Viennese fingers that melt in the mouth !!! wow!!!! Karen your mum is such a fantastic cook, and those Peanut butter bites (made by Pippa) were truly yummmmsious!!! Hmmmm I think I gain a stone in weight at that crop!!! But it would have been rude not to sample them (and I am so glad I did!!!!!)
I want to say a big thank you to Karen and everyone for having me there and putting up with my lack of words!! (and my constant rambling on!!)

I am working on the kits as we speak so as soon ass I have batteries for my camera (some little person has pinched them and put them in the wii remotes!!) I will take some sneak peeks.
Have a good day

A sort out

Today I had to sort out some of my stash - as the mountain has grown and over taken!!! Arrrgggghhh I spent around 4 hours just trying to sort my patterned paper and cardstock!!! Embellies will have to be done next time!!! I found so many ranges of paper that I haven't got around to using yet!! I realised that I haven't scrapped for myself for ages- and am unlikely too ATM- I have a long list of projects that I am really excited about!!! In october I will be going on a Lushalishous retreat with the lushalishous sg on uks!! I cant wait to meet all the girls!!!!

Classes at Bellabooo

I have to say that I had a fab time at the Bellaboo birthday bash. Liberty is so fun and friendly as are her sisters (how fun it must be to have the whole family scrapping). The day went so quickly- I left Bristol at 6.58 and had to go to Newport to change trains to get to Bromsgrove!! (seemed silly to me but hey that's what my tickets told me too do - and who am I to argue with tickets???) The second train was full of me - I mean FULL, all drinking beer at 8 am!!!! And prooowwwwwing to anyone female walking passed them , They were behaving - I just found it quite awkward being there!! I just put my MP3 player on to the Ting Tings and buried my head in Jane Austins Pride and Prejudice!!- I have wanted to read this book for years, and have now been promted by Lost in Austin - which I love !!!! Ahhhh Mr Darcy in the water - Swwwwwwooonnnnnn !!!
I taught 3 classes - a mini book , a canvas and a layoutEveryone was so friendly and welcoming :) I love seeing peoples own versions of the classes!!
Anyhows I had to leave in rather a hury to catch my train back - so sorry if I rushed you all :)
But I can back just in time to watch the Merlin program with my boys!!! and then ordered our sat night curry - yummmmmm !!!

I have been working on my kit and I can say that its going ot be a double project kit with a mini book and a layout- keep watching :)
Right I have to go and pick up my little Evan from school
