More, More, More ....

I have become secretive, it's sods law that 'my parcels' arrive on a day that Key is at home.  When he was at home last monday a couple of parcels arrived, today he is at home and lo and behold another few parcels arrive and two parcels to be picked up at The Works and at Morrisons (Ebay.Doddle).  I know this has to stop but I am so enjoying myself, if Key wants to fish it's £25 a time and I don't begrudge him going fishing.  I am JUST LOVING MY CRAFT TIME AGAIN.

still 4 items to come off Ebay - but I had £60 back pay and £40 from selling my Tim Holtz alphabet which I didn't use anymore - so all in all I have £100 to spend on craft supplies.  Better get shopping them.  ha ha x x x x 

and MORE again x x x x

Have I REALLY got 6 to upload...........ah well, if I've duplicated.  I love my scrapping at the mo x 

Absolutely loving scrapping again and all these challenges

BUT IT IS COSTING ME A SMALL FORTUNE .... but you know what other people have hobbies that cost a lot lot more and I am so enjoying myself.  x

From our Anniversary Meal at Turpins which was an appalling evening.  Awful, will lnever go again, and so far they haven't had the decency to respond to my complaint.  Waste of £170

New challenge on Mind the Scrap to scrap pictures with no people or animals, how difficult is that !  But I took this last weekend when I did the Selfie Saturday and realised that it don't look too untidy for a change AND I dont think I have EVER scrapped my scrap area so here it is !

More for the challenge without a person/animal photo - Alison took this pic when they bought Lunapants new shoes - I said I would pay for new shoes and expected them to go to Clarks and have her foot fitted properly - but they are her parents and it's up to them what shoes they put her in.  Personally I love the VANS - and the Converse we bought last time, but I just hope to goodness they don't do her feet any harm.  

Where do the weeks go eh ?

Well.  Tomorrow 20.8.18 will be 41 years that Keiron and I got married.  I may moan about him, but he's been a good husband, loyal and trustworthy, there when I need him most - but 41 years has absolutely sped by - I cannot believe how quickly it has gone by.  I wish I was younger again, no doubt he does too, but we are lucky that we have had relatively good health during out lives - I really need to knuckle down again and get my bloods down and lose another stone - well it's only 10lbs to 10.5 stone that I would love to be...... I can do it and I know I will, kinda back on track a lilttle with food and a bit more exercising again.

Key thankfully cleared up his bedroom, it was a total and utter disgrace really !  And my craft room is so much tidier - just a few things to sort through and get some shredding done as well. 

Korin seems settled, Keir and Ali settled, Little luna is an absolute delight.  At the moment (and I hope I haven't jinxed myself) life is kinda good.  I'm also coping well at work and that will do me now foer another couple of years before I think about retirement.

my craft room after the tidy up - great to put the table out to have somewhere away from a cramped space to put the layout together and leave whilst working on the embelishments

And finally keys room looking so much better, for how long ?  but it looks better for now. Top room has so much rubbish to go to the tip - really need that to go next week and STOP putting rubbish in the top room.  SHE SAYS !

more, more, more

and .................

and another

a few more

I gone alphabet mad again.

apart from buying the two dies at nearly bloody 60 quid, I bought 16 sets from The Works - I just got to start using them up now.

doine another layout tonight but not for the challenges, get fed up doing the same thing for a week and 8 layouts all with the same theme is not good in my albums.  Need to go buy yet another album, I have just gone crazy !

this is my folders of my alphabets - actual cut alphas ready to stick on like American Crafts/ Thickers etc .

thought I would get them all in my new PINK lever arch file , but oh no, so need to go buy yet another one tee hee.

I have just 4 weeks to my next holiday

WELL, weekend away. 6th, 7th September.  Don't know where we are going probably Weston supermare again and see dave and jenny - go for a meal - but I have gained 6lbs and I am so annoyed with myself.  Eating Chocolate again tonight and I have blood tests this week coming, I know the outcome will not be good.

So as OF tomorrow I am back on Slimming world eating.  lots of veg and salads and doing my walking and mini trampolining again - I can lose 7lb's in a month - I KNOW I CAN !

OH Yes and more !

I love and I hate photographs.  Looking at the photo of Keir in the blow up boat - I remember going into the shop to buy it, as the caravan shower was so so hot it was impossible to shower him in there.  We had great fun on the beach putting sand in it and just on the edge of the water and then when we came home I think we had that boat for 3 or 4 years - it was a very good sturdy boat.  Keir remembers it too x 

this one of Key was taken on our holiday about 3 years ago on Fathers day I scrapped it before showing him opening his cards so I could show the kids when we got back - but this one is cut smaller so it looks like a different picture.  I don;'t have many photo's of Key.  

I scrapped these photo's of the kids previously in a little 'beer mat' album and NEVER finished it - probably about 5 even 6 years ago.  Obviously kept the pictures and pulled the little album apart and made this layout instead.  At the moment I don't fancy making any albums ever again, or inchies or twinchies.  Infact I have gotten rid of a lot of my inchies and twinchies - only keeping the ones that I REALLY love. 

AND this again is of little miss LP - having said that I scrapped the wrong place - so the journaling is wrong, can I be bothered to remove the journaling and do a new one - I don't know - think about it tomorrow when I don't feel quite as tired.

joined in with the Mind the Scrap Summer Challenges

and I am wacked.......did 8 layouts in total this week - a record for me except for in my hey day in 07 when I first started scrapbooking !  I'm filling up my scrap albums so fast and buying buying buying so much stuff - I really have to calm down a bit ................................

Bought another couple of alphas this week, but planning tomorrow (Wednesday no luna day) - to put my alphabets online EBAY and sell a couple, even If I only get £10 each for them thats around £50 which will pay me back for the alphas I've just bought - truth be known I spent £56 on the two alphas with p&p I hate p&p - ones arrived, hoping the other arrives tomorrow.  Fingers crossed.

I have bought kit subscriptions and monthly kits and other kits and embellishments galore - I must have spent close on £250 over the last month and half - thats a lot for me.

another couple layouts
