Thanks

Just wanted to say thanks to you all for all your well wishes and cyber hugs they do mean a lot and very much appreciated.
Thanks Beth for the long chat on the phone yesterday - 2 hours!! cant we talk :D

I am off to Bristol on Saturday for the ScrapCamp christmas one day workshop with Kirsty Wiseman, Giselle Homer and Hilary Ford. I am looking forward to it, though feeling a little nervous as i haven't really see anyone other than my family, so i am hoping to hold it together. Will show you the finished projects.

A Very Sad time for me

I have just had a brilliant weekend on UKS the cyber crop took place and of course the winning team was Slytherin it was a very close match between ourselves and the hufflepuffs but through shear determination we pull the broom from under them. i was pleased that i managed to complete 4 LOs and a mini book, went to bed a happy person, to get up at 7 o'clock to go to work, to a not so happy phone message that was left at 5 o'clock this morning from my Uncle, to inform me that my nan was dying, so of course i went into complete panic, rang the hospital, to find that she had passed at quarter past 5!

I am so upset that i was unable to get to say goodbye. I knew she was in hospital and had phoned every other day to find out how she was doing, she had requested not to have visitors so i respected that - very independent lady was my nanny, now i wish that i hadn't, i know that she has gone to a much better place and that she will be fine, no more aliments or pain, its me that i am crying for, for my selfishness that she isn't here for me anymore, to give me advice or comfort or for just being my nanny so i will say it here, I love you nanny, goodbye for now as i know i will see you again X ............ am sorry for posting this but i thought it might help me in some therapeutic way, not sure how as i am bawling!

Crimbo Cards

It feels like I haven't done any crafting for an age! I haven't felt like making anything and the 'to do' list was getting longer, so today I grabbed myself by the scruff of the neck and cracked on with making crimbo cards for the 'ladies who lurk', have decided that i wasn't going to make cards for everyone i know this year, so i have bought a box of cards too, so that has taken the 'making' pressure off!




Are you getting ready for the UKS Cyber Crop? that is another reason why i needed to get the 'to do' list down a bit cos i really want to take part in this. Our household has been getting right into Harry Potter, we have all rewatched the films, Ryan and I enjoyed doing the Harry Potter Quiz that has been orgainsed on forum. So i am getting quite enthused about the up and coming weekend not sure what classes to join in yet though!

Right better get back to that 'to-do' list, next! have a CJ entry to get on with.

Ciao for now!

will be back when something interesting happens LOL

Update

Well Lewis had a lovely time he spent the morning with his daddy playing with his pressies, when i came home from work i cooked his chosen tea which was pork chops and potato wedges finished off with the Scooby-Doo cake.








I then left for Bristol to meet up with Ellie and Mandy from ModScraps so we could drive to a little village near Newcastle Emlyn in Wales, where we were going to spend the weekend. The journey to Wales was fine, the directions we were given were just spot on, arrived about 10 o'clock to a warm welcome from the other lurkers who had arrived much earier in the day, a roaring open fire, sausage casserole, jacket potato and a lovely cuppa tea, let the chillin' out begin :)

Saturday we woke up to a beautiful day, the sun was shining and really chilly (just how i love it!) after eating freshly baked bread topped with homemade plum jam, a crumpet and a cuppa Yummy! We drove to New Quay where we walked on the beach, played with our cameras, but the big highlight for me was watching two dolphins playing in the sea WOW! how cool! we were all leaning on the wall oohing and aahing as these most gorgeous creatures played. Unfortunately they were a tad bit too far out for my camera to capture this awesome moment.

After eating an enormous plate of faggots chips and peas we headed back home, where we settled to an late afternoon of scrapping - results my crimbo cards for the family are done YAY!. Once the wine began to flow we decided to pack in scrapping and play some funny word games, as you can imagine it was hilarious, think we toddled off to bed about 1 ish.









Got back home about 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon to the excited chatter of Lewis telling me about his previous evening watching fireworks.

Its always lovely to come home, even after a brilliant time away.

We had our own firework display in the garden which was fab then settled down to a take-away and the rest of the evening curled up on the sofa watching 'Torchwood' mmm... the perfect finale :)

BUSY BUSY

Why so busy?...well it is Lewis 7th birthday tomorrow and i am also going away for the relaxing weekend in Wales with a few of the lurkers think there is 7 of us. So i have being busy packing my bags, organising my scraps planning to make Christmas cards, get a birthday cake (no i don't make my own, should really i know!), tidy the house and get all the clothes washing up together phew! But at least its all done, so tomorrow after work i can enjoy spending some quality birthday time with little lou before speeding off to Bristol to meet a couple of the lurkers then over the bridge.

So until probably Monday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEWIS and hope you have a great weekend too :)
