Hi to all, hope you're all well.

So tomorrow as usual five wonderful entries will be chosen and then it's peoples choice.

Please go along and vote for your favourite of our Pastels Challenge.

Just not enouigh hours in the day!!!

Hello all you fab crafters and a special hi to my new followers. Here I am trying to catch myself up again, it's like being on a treadmill and getting nowhere fast!!

 

Just when I thought life was slowing down some from Christmas, my eldest Daughter decided she would like to buy a house and be independent.

Great...... but for the fact that Mum and Dad have to pay the deposit and probably work till midnight every night decorating, pulling down walls, replacing bathrooms and then relinquish all the furniture from our house that she has her eye on!!!!!

And on top of that, as happy as I have always said I would be for her to make a mess in her own place, I really feel so sad about her moving out, (and quite teary if truth be told) How many of you out there have felt this way too I wonder.

Then my baby turned 21, oh where have the years gone. Doesn't seem so long ago when I was pushing her on a swing in our back garden.

So not had too much time for crafting, there's dust on my table would you believe.

 

It's time for a new challenge over at

 

Lovely Hanglar Or Sweet Magnolia

 

and the theme for the next two weeks is

 

Spring

 

with our fabulous sponsor

 

Live and Love Crafts

 

who doesn't love this store

So many wonderful things to spend your voucher on

 

My card is one I made a while ago and didn't post but it fits this theme, though I'm not really happy about it as I prefer to use my distress inks for colouring now, my copic colouring leaves a lot of room for improvement.

 

 

 

 

 

Have to add details later cos it's going to take me a while to find them.

Enjoy your day.

Singing In The Rain (as it water's the flowers)

Hi all, hope you're all well.

Well hasn't the last week been great, seeing the sunshine has really been more like spring if only the wind would die down.

This posting is a little late as I've been to Harrogate at the craft show. I really didn't want to go (ha ha ) but my friend insisted, oh and she's sooooo persuasive.!!

We had a lovely day and although I didn't need anything I sure came home with a bag full of goodies, can't wait for a play with them now.

 

So today's posting is my DT card for

Lovely Hanglar Or Sweet Magnolia

and the new theme for the next two weeks is
 

Flower Power
 

How easy peasy is that.

Who doesn't love flowers and up for grabs is a GDT spot for the winner..

 

 

I used London Tilda, I love her. I just imagined her singing in the rain so added the music paper and musical notes, cos let's face it, we expect these showers usually for our spring weather.

Week 3 Fahionista - Shabby Chic.

Hi al, hope everyone is well.

Well after months of worry and tests my Daughter has been given the all clear.  She has extra heartbeats and has been having pains in her chest and has passed out several times.

She has low blood pressure, which is causing the fainting but it seems more fluid each day should sort that out, antibiotics for the Bronchitis and hopefully things should improve no end.

And she's the one that has never had anything wrong with her, it's my other Daughter that has all the problems!!

Kids... who'd have 'em!!!

We've just purchased a treadmill too cos we've all decided we need to improve our health and stamina.

OMG.. when we got it home it was too big to go in through the door!!

So it's been set up in the garage.

It's a fair thing and of course hubby had to have the first go. He started to walk at a steady pace with a smug smile on his face, so a few taps on the speed soon stopped that.... ha ha.. never seen his little legs run so fast, my Daughter  had to push him from behind to stop him from flying off the back.!!!..

So funny.. nick named him road runner

 

It's week 3 over at Fahionista of our theme
