Scrapping Tonight

Been playing today with paint and glitter and chipboard, all for a good cause, I am a GDT for Bubbly Funk. Poor Caroline has been waiting ages for my DT projects, and she will not have to wait much longer, I am nearly done! Here are a few sneak peeks.

Arrived back from Olympia very late last night and headed straight to bed with honey on toast and a cuddle with Peter. I loved being away with Tracie, Debbie, Sarah and Sue, and cannot thank them enough for helping me on the stand, but I am really glad to be home, in my own bed!!
The best part of working at shows is meeting new faces. I am so happy to have met at long last Shimelle! Who is just so cute, lol! Jane greeted us Thursday morning with doughnuts, and Saturday I met Georgina, one very talented scrapper, just like her mum!
This painting/note and cuddly toy greeted me on my pillow, awwwwww. (photo to follow)

Woke up this morning to a hot, bubble bath, bliss.... Headed over to Nana's to collect the girls, greeted to lots of hugs and cuddles. I then took them to Clare's Accessories for a treat and then lunch.

Lots of rest and cuddles are the order of the day, have not even turned my computer on!!, I am blogging from Peter's laptop instead.



Pencil Lines went live last night with a good cyber friend of mine and very talented cardmaker and scrapper, Nancy van de Berg. I pulled out lots of very old KandCo papers, and stickers! for this layout. Do pop over to see what the DT came up with Jolene's sketch.

Tomorrow I will turn my computer on and check emails. So if you are waiting for a reply form me, just give me another day please.

Hugs and thanks for stopping by

....... you would think i have loads to blog about wouldn't you!. My car broke down Tuesday morning, just as the girls and I were off to school. Had to call a taxi to take the girls to school, and spent most of Tuesday arranging for the girls to be collected and dropped off at various after school clubs and bought home, for one mum to forget she was meant to bring Izzy back to mien after Rainbows!!! Thank goodness someone took her back to theirs and rang us!

And I am thankful for the village school bus which has been a life saver these past days taking the girls to school and bringing them back.

Tuesday evening Maria from Scrummy Stash Cafe drove down to stay at ours and we headed off to Scrap Genie for a rummage and then made a dash down the M11 and A14 and A1 to pick the girls up from the bus stop.

Happy Birthday Darling

Phew......So today my car should be returned to me, fully serviced and a new battery, and then i can head into town to purchase my dear hubby some treats for his birthday today

Here's a sneak of Pencil Lines sketch for this Sunday , using Paper Jam Studio Kit

I chose this word "Balance" for yesterdays 365 challenge. Although I didn't manage an SP, I had taken lots of photos of the girls having an arty crafty session after school. Whats this got to do with "balance"? well it got me thinking that everyday I have to balance my life and tasks for the day. From being mummy, wife, artist, cook, cleaner, accountant, and so on. yesterday I managed to "balance" my day well. I cooked, I managed a layout, housework, ironing, I was a good wife and most importantly I had some quality time with the girls, painting mugs. And that is why I chose this photo :)




Sunday, Peter played his first American football game in over 12 years!!!!! He has been coaching the Bedford Blue Raiders for a few months now as the linebacker coach, but has always yearned to get back on the field. I must admit not a decision I was completely happy with, but I had to let him go with his heart. Well he played, he fell, he was absolutely exhausted, muscles ached but he ended the day as a winner for both his team and for himself. Just look at that smile of pride on his face!



I will leave you with another layout from the Two Scoops March Scrapping Angels Kit, so love the gentle colours in this kit, just crying out to be used with these photos of Lilly and a candy floss!




Thanks for stopping by, and sending virtual hugs to my teamies at Pencil Lines, everyone seems to be poorly at the moment, huge hugs girls!

Pencil Lines sketch 75 has gone live with Corinne Delis! Gotta love this funky lady, never had the pleasure to met her, but Corinne's journaling and freestyle approach to her scrapping amazes me each and every time.

I am easily pleased, and this week I was made up when I made the catwalk over at SIStv with my "I "heart" to bake", ( see last post for layout). Then this morning when i signed into Flickr, a layout I had on my Flickr, made it to "explore" for march 4th, and that too made me very happy!
