Our puppy..

Well today one of my dreams i've had since i was little has come true, you see I have always wanted a king charles cavalier since way back when I was old enough to know about dogs etc.. an today that came true... I got our 8 wk old lil boy.. he is blenhiem in colour.. as soon as he came he settled in straight away.. he was running round with kids, in fact he was barking at them when they stopped playing cos he wanted to carry on playing.. He gave everyone lots of kisses and just made himself straight at home... the kids love him to bits and so do i. Alan my partner reckons he dont love him but you can see he does, I think he is just trying to be manly.. you know what men are like..

Also on another note I have made the best card ever.... I have created a dressing table on a card, also I have made lil perfume bottles and vases to go on the dressing table.. I am so proud of this card as I think it is the best I have ever done, I have to make the box bag that it goes in, so i will post a photo tomo.. well on that note i'm off to bed.. need to get some sleep as I have a busy day tomorrow.. got meetings and i'm getting my mobility scooter.. Yippeee

Cholmondeley castle

On Saturday I went to cholmondeley castle's pageant of power, http://www.cpop.co.uk. What an absolutely fabulous day we had. There was all types of vehicles including very old ones and the new tester electric car... There was so much to do that we didn't get round to everything and wish we had booked to go for two days....
My kids had a blast.. they rode in tanks, went on speed boats, Raleigh cars... the little ones drove mini jeeps went on trains and the list goes on and on... I would recommend that anyone who is interested in any vehicle or just wants a good family day out then you should go next yr...........
Well I'm off now to get an early night as my lovely son has passed his cold on to me... I'm hopefully going to be starting my ATC'S... Need to make a start as they need to be in at the end of the month... ARRRGGGHHHH I'm sure I'll get them done in time.
Bye for now... loads of scrappy hugs and paper kisses to all x x

Finally

Well I have finally got round to photographing all the cards I have made so far, some I have made at home and some I have made in the card making classes I go to.. I am still learning how to do blogs etc so I am hoping to post the photo's for everyone to see. I have sent quite a lot of them off to people for birthdays etc so I am not left with many now..
A while ago I mentioned that I got a metal case so I could store all my pro markers, well my collection is complete now and I have also organised them all in the case...
Lately I have been suffering really bad with my Fibromyalgia, I have been having really bad flare ups so i have not got round to doing much.. I am starting to come through now although the pain has been making me sleep for days at a time.. I have discovered there is a fibro group where I live and I am hoping to be able to go so I can meet up with people who go through what I do everyday. My partner ( alan) sometimes asks me to explain how I feel? I find this very hard, if you have never had fibromyalgia it is very hard to understand.. How do you explain to someone the pain I suffer, my mood changes, my depression and how I feel I have let my kids down... I know I haven't in reality but i always feel bad on them, I do try to do as much as I can with them when I am able to but it's not the same.... Anyway I am off now as I have to try and upload my photos, THIS SHOULD BE FUN LMAO
bye for now

Shopping, shopping and more shopping

Well today has been a very busy day, had to take my cat the vets to be neutured and while i was waiting for news on him, i decided to do a bit of retail therapy. Firstly i picked up my metal cd case that will be my new home for my promarkers as i have seen on someones blog how to transform them into a holder for your promarkers...
Then i went and bought loads of martha stewart punches as i think they are absolutely beautiful, i am becoming a BIG fan of her punches..
I have now downloaded the full promarker colour sheet so i can finish getting the rest of them. This weekend i am hoping to get my case all organised and hopefully make some cards..
Can't believe it is friday again already, where has the time gone.. never seems to be enough hours in the day anymore..
I have set myself a personal challenge.. thats to join an ATC swapping group and to enter at least one card competition on the blogs i visit
