It is a beautiful day today, i just love it.....the sun is shining, i have given the house a spring clean, sheets are blowing on the line, and i am about to have a cuppa. Beautiful Day.
This is abut rain rain go away come again another day....i know we need the rain, but i am starting to feel a little miserable and would love a little bit of sunshine, then the rain can come back. Once again a reminder that the MD Fundraiser is creeping up on us soon ,only a month to go.....i am about to start working on my layout for the fundraiser, which i do appreciate so much the people who are booking into the classes that Jen, Peta & i will be teaching, as it is such a worthy cause and Mandy and her helpers do such a lot of behind the scenes work for this event....but as usual I am feeling a little bit nervous. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to my layouts, often criticising my work......i should have done this, or i should have done that....i am sure a lot of you know where i am coming from. Anyway i have to get off that subject for now. The layout below is a fun layout using the Basic Grey Lime Rickey Range.....i think it sums up how i would like the whether to be at the moment.
It has been a while since i have posted on my blog. I have had trouble getting into my blog, my computer needed a good clean out and some updating, which will keep me going for a little longer, until i can save up for another system. I have also had my grandson for the past couple of weeks,helping out with child minding along with my son. He is so gorgeous, and i have to say a really lovely little boy. I hope he will grow up to be as sweet as he is at this moment in time.....i am sure he will. I took him to the park one day last week, for some fun and for a little selfish photography shoot from Nanna. I have not been able to get many photos of the grandkids lately as they are growing up so much, and i get the OH! not photos again thing going on. I hope it passes as i am in need of some new photos. Hey! hasn't the weather been so cold the last of couple of days, i hope everyone is keeping warm, i don't mind it, as i hate the hot hot steamy
This is a class
This layout isI probably should not say it, but i need to get some washing dry. My Grandson had his eigth birthday this week. How they grow. I have taken some pictures but still need to load them up. Will pop them on here when i have sorted them out. Don't forget either that the MD Fundraiser is coming up quickly.This is a layout i created for mothers day using a lot of products, but i love it. Prima products just gets me everytime. A photo of my mum was all i could get, as i went away the next day on my holliday. I would have loved some photos of the Grandchildren and i together but it was not meant to be. OH! well there is always next year!
I have created very little scrapping since being away on my Holliday, and this is a class i will be teaching this coming Thursday at Scrapneeds at Cardiff. A boy layout using the new Bo Bunny Grease Monkey Papers and embellishments. Come along and join in the fun. What better way to relax and get away from it all, not to mention the great socialising and meeting new people.
I have been away on hollidays. Went to WA to visit my youngest son Richard. He has his own Beer & Wine Tour Business at Margaret River....if you ever over there look it up Margies Beer & Wine Tours. You will have a fantastic day. It was so great to see him and his lovely wife again, after not seeing them for over a year since their wedding. This time around i got to see a lot of lovely placing and had a lot fine dining a winery restaurants.....OH! and also i have to mention that i went and saw a musical called Menapause The Musical, it was fantastic, i would thoroughly recomend if it is in town go see it. Well i will pop us some pictures from my holliday.
This is a gorgeous Forest full of the tallest trees i have ever seen. Not the greatest photo, i have a better one and will load that up another day.
Ever purchased a pack of expensive embellishments & only used some of the items in the pack. Well you are going to love this class. I have created 2 layouts using different papers for each one, but applying the same embellishments to each layout. Using two different concepts, making one layout bright and beautiful and the other soft and whimisical I was able to use these beautiful products on each layout.If you want to attend this class and get two layouts done in two hours, they will be on display at Scrapneeds this week and the class will be on this Thursday Night the 7th of May....ring the store ( SCRAPNEEDS CARDIFF) for more details.

Layout 2This weekend has been a big one, i feel as though i have been on a retreat. Scrapbooking my yearly album at a crop on Saturday, then a crop day at Eddeworth with Scrapbook Divas on Sunday. You would think i would have had enough, but actually i have come home and decided to load up some new creations on my blog.
Hi! i have not been a very good blogger lately, have had so much on with Family, Easter & the Hollidays. I went all out this Easter and did some great home made cooking for my Family, making cup cakes ( which by the way my Dad said the Chocolate ones were the best he had tasted for years) Lemon Meringue Pie.......which came with a great story, every bit was eaten on the day. I did not get any, totally missed out. My son had to work and said save me some. Came round after his morning surf the next day, looking for the yummy Lemon Meringue and was most upset to find none left, and what about me i made it and didn't get any either, so i am going to make one just for him, when he gets back from hollidays. So here is a couple of happy snaps from the day.
