Hi all I am still here and I amstill scrapping,I am hoping to revamap this blog in the next fw days, I am waiting for either Sam to let me on the laptop withphoto shop on or DH to put photo shop in this one I am using now I have a bout two matbe thre LOs to show off, a paperbag book and some other bits and pices. Take care for now I hope to be back soon.

Hi all, I hope you are well

I had a busy day yesterday as DS had the prep work done for his braces, he has strait teeth already but one tooth has gone astray and is embedded in his pallet, to get at it to try to put it in its place they had to cut a hole in the roof of the mouth then take some bone away and then sew a bandage over to keep it from healing back up, the bandage should drop out in up to a fortnight then they can start work on next bit of the treatment. He did really well he was a bit ratty when he woke up (just like his dad is all the time) but he has been fine since the only thing is we have had to find him mushy foods to eat as it is a bit awkward to eat lumpy stuff.

I have a LO to put up, Yay, its nice to be scrapping again. After doing lots of LOs with only one photo I knew I had to do something different, I dug out some old rotadraw disks for the big dino and the little ones are stencils I have had kicking around for ages, I was gong to throw them away I'm glad I didn't now, I will have to use this as an example when DH wants me to down size my stash.

Take care and thanks for looking

Hi all I hope you are not suffering from hang overs today and again Happy new year.

As promised I have up loaded my latest LO, it is the first LO I have done for ages and it had to be saved twice the first time was when my cat gave me a birthday present of muddy foot prints on the photos and the second was when I doodled and then decided I didn't like the doodles, I don't have any photo editing software installed on the lap top I am using so I am unable to crop it, I at last have use of the faster laptop but it has tons of glitches on it that need ironing out as of yet I have been unable to load stuff on to my mp3 player, I was wondering if a sled hammer would help. I also cant find my trusty spellchecker so bear with me on the spelling front, I'll do my best

We have had a lazy holiday period and I am itching to get back in to some sort of routine, DH is still in a lot of pain from his op it doesn't help people backing cars into him while was on a walkway in a car park pushing him on to a toddler in a pushchair, then the following confrontation ending up in DH not getting hurt but the driver of the car getting splatted. It must be idiots that see a crutch and a sling and think it will be a walkover to pick on him but then the tables are turned, as it was in the first car park confrontation as some one in another car park before Christmas threatened to wrap the crutch around DH's neck, DH's reaction was to walk up to the guy and give him the crutch and say I would like to see you try and with that the other guy retired to his car put up all his windows and from the safety of his car made rude finger gestures and insults involving the words mad and the "c" word.

Well thats enough rambling for today. Take care all and thanks for looking.

I know it's late (12.49) and early in some places but happy new year I hope you all have a good one!

I have scraped so as soon as I get the hang of my new camera i will post up my efforts.

Bye for now take care all and stay safe

Wishing you all a Happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year.

Things have been very hectic the last few weeks I have hardly any time to do anything crafty.

DH had his op on the 17th of December so he is still recovering form that, DD has had a non stop chest infection for over a month, DS is having and day surgery in the new year as part of his dental treatment and I am running around trying to get everything done and failing I have also invited my MIL and SIL for Christmas dinner as if I needed any more stress but at least we now have a fully functioning oven.

As soon as possible I will be scrapping again I have to I have just acquired lots of new stash some of it has to be wrapped up for Christmas. I also have a new sewing machine now so I have plans for that and I intend to sew next years Christmas presents plus I have a number of clothes to sew and adjust, DD gets hoodies but to get the right length in arms she has to buy the larger size so I have to take a few of those in and also as I have lost tons of weight I have a few things of my own to adjust.

Enough rabbiting on for now I have to get back to the grindstone,

Take care all and best wishes And I hope to be blogging again properly in the new year.

Hi all, I hope you are well. Things are still mad here, DS has some drastic dental work to be done at the hospital and DH has now got an appointment for an operation on his arm to even up the bones and fuse the wrist to give the arm more support, the date for that is 17th of December so its going to be an interesting Christmas this year. He has to get over a chest infection first, it's all go here . DD has also decided she wants to goto Karate two extra days a week she may have to rethink that one as she has coursework and mock exams to do.

On the craft front I have been struggling with Christmas card making my heart is not really in it but after a few false starts I have made one, I am not even going to work out how many more to make, I think some people will get bought cards this year it's a shame as I like to put the effort into making cards to make things a bit special.

Thank you for looking and take care all.

Hi all, I hope you are well, I have another course of antibiotics and they seem to be working a the mo so fingers crossed I will be OK for a bit.
DD was awarded her orange belt in Tang soo do karate, she was chuffed as because she was grading with three adult males they where stopped for not shouting loud enough as Sam was drowning out there shouts when it should be the other way around.
The Lo I have posted is another of DD I was hoping to do some LO using more that one photo as I seem to have slipped into a rut of just using one but I have to fight to use the lap top as DD s has course work for GCSE's to do. I will get some printed of soon also I have not made one Christmas card yet I am so behind so I will have to get going. As for the LO I posted it started as a scraplift but end up far away from the lifted item and then I felt I added to much on it I was thinking of add more to go in the other direction and have it heavy in embellishments.
