Long Time No Blog!

I find myself apologising again for my lack of posting, haven't been feeling so good lately and just getting through the days has been a chore and this morning I woke with a whopping headache (just my luck) but I was determined to post today.

So what have I been up to besides the usual, well last night I went to my very first Stampin'Up! event, demo training in Manchester. I met so many ladies from the ILWS forum and it was really nice to put a face to the name, they were all so lovely and I can't wait to meet them again at convention in November. I also met my SU Mummy (Monica) for the very first time, so that was really special and we all had a really fabulous night and if that wasn't enough we got a free stamp set too, woohoo!!!!

I have got a few projects to share with you that I made awhile ago but never got around to posting them.




This was a thank you gift I made for a blogging buddy but sadly good old RM managed to loose it in the post and she never received it, I think I was more upset because of the time I put into making it.





And this was the card I made for my friends Birthday, did you guess she is also an avid crafter ;) or should that read ADDICT!.....lol

Thank you all so much for visiting me here, even in my absence (in a shameful voice)

Take care,

Baby Boy!

Last week my cousin and his wife had their 3rd baby boy weighing in at 7lb 14oz, his wife also has a son from a previous relationship, so I figured one more and they have a five-a-side team.......lol
So this is the card I made to congratulate them on their new arrival.



Totally inspired by this card Julie made here and it just so happens that over on A Passion for Papertrey blog the theme this week is polka dots, so I think this card fits in nicely.

Right off to finish my hot chocolate, I'm soooo tired but back on the iron tablets so hopefully start feeling better again soon (can't wait till they get me sorted out!)

Night, night,

Hooray Sunshine!!!!

Are we blessed or what! What a gorgeous day we've had, so much so hubby and I took the boys out to the "Matthew Street Festival " held here in Liverpool every August bank holiday. They have so many different stages almost like our own mini Glastonbury (well may be not....lol) Top of my eldest sons list though was the Lily Allen tribute band and Lady Gaga but the killers and coldplay were pretty good too and now I am nursing my poor feet -heck do they hurt :(

Now I know it's a bit late, a week actually but just thought I'd share these birthday cards that Benjamin my eldest son made me for my birthday - he always makes Nicholas' card for him too.


This one was from Benjamin - cheeky child of mine!

This is the one Benjamin made for Nicholas to give to me, he even made an inside too (even cheekier child of mine....lol)

What can I say, my children know me well....hahaha!

Ok that's all from me today I'm afraid, hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and now it's back to the grind stone :(

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!!!

Good morning peeps (apart from the rain, boo!) I'm having a lovely morning with breakfast in bed, lots of pressies, home made cakes and cards. The boys have just had me playing 10 tin bowling on the wii but they didn't let me win, not even on my birthday so had to make do with 2nd place.....lol

Since the weather is so rubbish we are just going to go out for lunch and may be the rain will go off ;) shall be back soon with some pics of my cards and pressies.
