Ohhh Ive been quiet havent I ??

Well I have been busy - my scrapping stash had finally started no taken over my dining room!! One whole sideof the room was covered with boxes full of stash!! I promised James I would sort it, so persuaded him to take me up to Ikea for some new storage.

I spent all weekendsorting through my stash, and sorting my buttons (which have now all been sorted in to jarsby colour- they look sooooo pretty!! I knew I had alot but really I have alot of buttons!!! I find my space in the dining room works so much better now especially for scrapbooking!!

Talking of scrapbooking I have a few sneek peeks for you that I have been working on for the scrapbook apprentice!! I had to make 2 layouts and 2 cards and I really dont like making cards- its just not my thing!!

Right Im off to make Toad in the hole for tea

Oh my boys are argueing!! back in school tommorrow though!!
We had a lovely day out on sat, we went down to St Fagans near Cardiff, it is really good the entrance was free so all we had to pay for was getting there and parking. The celtic village was my fave bit (even if I did come out smelling like a bonfire!!)

My only boy that would dress up was Calann, I turned the pics to sepia when I got home.
James took this really lovely one of my - do you like my hat?

These huts were great you could see and smeel the smoke a mile off- I coughed when I went in -lol I am a wimp!!

Pumpkin fun

Today the 12 scrapbook apprentices were announced- I am one of them!!!


I love halloween- its one of my favourite times of year!! (It always helps that my b'day was the day before) We bought 4 pumpkins Well 1 pumpkin and 3 munchkins!! I helped the boys carve theirs but ran out of time to do mine as I went shopping.


I am very fortunate the family gave me money for my birthday which meant I could buy some dresses I have had my eye on (5 in total (but 3 totalled £9) I loooovvvvvveeee shopping for clothes!! James bought me the pride and predjudice (the 90s version!!) I love it!! he also bought me a hot knife!! which is a soldering iron with a craft knife blade to making cutting really easy!! (I am such a cheat!!)
This pic of Ev makes me laugh!! - You can just see him saying 'mum stop taking photos!!'The cheeky boy started to knock the munchkins on the grass- the grin!!!

Oh what a weekend!!

The weekend has to be the most inspiring experience I have ever had- wow what a talented group of girlies we had there, I did a total of 7 layouts which is a 1st for me (I am a slow scrapper!)
The atmosphere was amazing and so fun !!! the tables were just covered with scrapping and chocolate the whole weekend!!!! I cant wait to do it again!! Th ehostel reminded me of a cottage from a horror film as it was set in a forest and was beautiful but was scary having to go to the loo (in a seperate block ) in the dark!! I scrapped til gone 3 on the first night- I was so tired the next night I went to bed about 11, but we were all up by 9 scrapping again!!!!!!

I can only show you 4 of my layouts atm , but will show the others when I can!!


Anyone else think this is soooooooo bare for me ?? I was being inspired by soem of the girls and decided to go for the minimal look - there is WHITE SPACE -lots of white space!!
I really loved puckering up the fabric for this one of James- I have even used clip on earings on this one!!!!!!

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!!!
