and ....

the video to this picture was hillarious - luna was so excited driving Cody around the track at the fair in Tamworth on Bonfire night x 

This was a MINIMAL layout - as minimal as I could do - I am now contemplating just doing a bit of journaling on the right hand side of the photo ???  - infact I think I will x 

more layouts

challenge was to only scrap top half of the page - this is a rescrap of a 2011 photo of me - 7 years old.  wish I looked this young still even though when I first had this pic taken i thought i looked old.  lol x 

this was to scrap without any scissors or punches or tools etc - so the page was ripped and a folded piece of paper.  I have since added a scroll down the right hand side which was cut on the cuttlebug.  don't particularly like this layout and hate the man in the photo - so it may have to be rescrapped.

the challenge was to do 5 circles across the page - little miss trying hard to get on the therapy chair i had in my treatment room.  love that little girl even though she is such a hectic child and on the go constantly.  

A cute Bronchitis

Nothing cute about it !  felt rough for a couple of weeks - chest is so tender and sore .... still sneezing and cough cough coughing - now have antibiotics.

anyhoo - have done a layout in the week when i felt a bit stronger and a layout today even though i am cough cough coughing - tired and worn out really - making sure i have a very relaxed weekend.

this was a challenge that had to be a minimalist layout - but don't think it was minimalist enough after i finished it - should have added the journaling to the stars paper and cut it all down a little bit more.  The layout picture of our Korin in Keirs Superman outfit which I was going to make a skirt for for Korin to use as a Supergirl outfit - but she played in it anyway without the skirt - I used to love making things for the kids - don;'t know where I found the time but remember sewing loads and loads of stuff - with a dining room chair in front of me and the old singer sewing machine on top of the chair - wish I could get back into those times, just being a bit more carefree, I overthink everything,

Think this chest infection/bronchitis has really gotten to me - I feel so down in the dumps. 

Planned on doing loads of layouts today x

But keir came and took me to PC world to look at laptops and then Smyths to get Lunas last presents from me and Key and then to Morrisons - luna fell asleep so they went home and I was on my own again .............. did come up to my desk and start a layout - cooked tea - ate a huge huge huge bowl of icecream, feel sicker than sick - and then finished said layoit which the picture is below.  And now it's half 10 again on a Sunday night - but the good news is that Korin has a day off tomorrow and coming to see me and luna and maybe we will take her to the soft play centre - PLUS I need to go to Keirs in the morning to wait in for the carpet people to restretch their carpets !  All go isn't it - Will have Tuesday in with Luna maybe just a walk round the block and then Wednesday I will take her to the play group again as she really did enjoy it last week.

heres the layout :

A few from this week

I have had a flu type bug and not really felt like crafting.  I had wednesday off from luna and ended up lying around the house all day as I felt so rough.......then went to work on Thursday and by 9 pm was in bed as I felt really rough, Friday morning I felt as if I had a throat full of razor blades and cough cough coughing again runny nose and so overwhelmed with tiredness ............ aches and pains, so didn't go to work again.  I hate not going to work they must think I am lazy. 

So today felt really bad this morning but a bit better this evening.  Still very tired and worn out though and my laptop is playing up big time !

tonights layout from a day out with korin and luna to the playgroup for luna and lunch altogether at planters garden centre it was a lovely day x 

photo taken in the plastic protective cover = so not a good pic,  the cake Alison made for Keir - it was delicious x 

Again the day out with korin and me with lunapants to the garden centre - those reindeer were singing it was so funny ............... and the first proper signs of christmas - Christmas is only 5 weeks away feel so far behind.

although I do have my turkey and pork joint and sausages for the pigs in blankets and nearly all lunas presents, just got to shop for everyone else now !  NIGHTMARE x

Crafting - not as much as in the summer

It always seems such hard work to come upstairs and craft when it's dark and raining outside and my craft room feels cold and dark.................. but I've done a few over the last couple of weeks, certainly slowed down tremendously since the Summer.  AND I really must get some exercising done too.

Love these fabby flowers die that I bought them come out beautifully.

Keir 12 years old he's just celebrated his 31st Birthday so next year that photo will be 20 years old.  OMG time rushes by 

Did this one tonight - didn't really fancy coming up to my craft room being so cold today but needed to do something, hate sitting watching TV all the time.  Lunas First Birthday pics and it';s nearly time for her 2nd Birthday pics - time flashes by I keep saying that x 

Again this was taken at Lunas 1st Birrhday session, but I love this photo. 

I miss Korin so much

We were always out and about at the wekends,  OK spending too much money but we were always out and about - I don't like doing everything on my own but now I have to.  I zm happy that she has found someone who loves her and that they go out and about together, but even walking the dog they now do that together and I walk Ben on my own.  I love the fact that she is happy.......but I am lonely.  x

HATING WORK never really loved it but was ok for the last couple of years

now all we do is scanning and scanning and scanning and the bosses keep saying think how we are helping the patients - load of crap they can't believe that we fall for this crap x

had a nice meal for keirs birthday at portabello's tamworth

it was a bit expensive though.

FANTASTIC BIRTHDAY CAKE MADE BY ALISON THOUGH X 

I AM LOOKING SO OLD AND FAT 

ALTHOUGH DON'T LOOK TOO BAD IN THIS PHOTO I THINK X
