Quiet time



Have been having a lazy few days, we had my parents and grampa over at xmas (he is 92!!), they are away home now, probably for a rest from the kids, hee hee.


Kids had a fab xmas, and we had to wake them at 8.30 on xmas morning to tell them santa had been. They got loads of pressies including these bikes. Gordon also got what he asked for namely a Power Ranger and a Scrapbook, so the 3 of us can scrap together.


Today we went to East Kilbride as the kids wanted to spend the money their other gran gave them and Lauren came home with yet another Bratz doll!!!


I will leave you with a piccy of Lauren on her new bike

Scrapping










Been busy this week, firstly I finished a LO that I started a couple of months ago!!! Just been busy with the retreat, making album for MIL, so am glad it is finished and am pleased with it.







Next my wee boy has been asking for a scrapbook for ages, he is 4, so I decided to cover a wee album for him and we can do some scrapping together.

Used the SEI doodley Doo Boy papers here











Next I decided to cover a wee notebook for Lauren, she loves writing in little books.



Have used Colour My World's Cupcake papers here, they are so yummy








Then I decided that I would do one for my SIL


Used 7 Gypsies here
Then today Lauren came home with xmas pressies from 2 school friends, so I covered a wee note book for them too, phew!!!!!!!!!

Last week was so busy we had nativity plays for Lauren and Gordon and pony jumps, so by Friday my kids were exhausted, Gordon slept until after 10 on Saturday morning.
On Friday I went to Roz's for a bit of scrapping and then Roz, Heather, Anne and myself went out for lunch, cannot believe I ate sooooo much!! It was a great day, and thank you for my pressie Heather, love it xxx
Roz and I exchanged gifts and one of mine was a Clippy Kit bag, which Roz has challenged me to have finished by the next crop, I think not!!!!!

6 weeks to go

So my wee boy aged 4 keeps telling me! He is getting soooooo excited about Santa coming, and last night we sat and emailed letters to Santa, and it came back with an instant reply, amazing!!! Apart from his bike he also wants some more Power Ranger toys and some animals, what kind I really do not know.
The wee soul came into our room at 3 this morning to tell us his nose was bleeding, and so it was everywhere, prehaps it was due to the fact that the other night he called me form his bed to say he had a bead stuck up his nose, I could feel yet another hospital visit coming on, but we managed to get him to blow it out.
I actually have been at the gym twice this week, and was feeling a bit sore the other day with all the press-ups I did, my hubby was maoning about the cost of my membership and the fact that I had not been in a while, have just been too busy.
The kids also started back at their wsimming lessons today and did so well, and afterward I took them for a Mcdonalds, have to say they are more interested in the toys!!!
OK am heading off for an early night

Horses



Horse riding again at the weekend, this time Lauren went round on her own without being led. And she did so well, we are so proud of her.


On the walk back to the car, Gordon was in every puddle, and some were very deep, so I had to tip the water out of his wellies...BOYS!!!!!!!










At the weekend we also went to Halfords so we could let "Santa" know what bikes they wanted for xmas, Gordon chose a blue one, Lauren went for a purple one covered in pink hearts!!!



Apart from that I have been busy with orders, my cleaner starts today, yahoo!!!!!


I will leave you with a look of what I loaded to the site last night, aren't they yummy???

Great Weekend


Had quite a lazy weekend, compared to last!!!!
On Saturday I did not even leave the house, but spent the day tidying the house and putting away all the stock form last weekend.
I also opened a couple of new account with new suppliers, so watch this space!
My kids had various friends in playing all day and played outside for a bit, so they were more than happy.
On Sunday Roz and I were travelling through to Paisley to Carol's crop in Craft Heaven, and we "just had" to stop in at my parent's for breakfast before.
The crop was great, and it was good to catch up with Heather (Cut 'n' Paste), and also to meet Janet and also Morag who is in my team on UKS.
I am making an album for my MIL's xmas, and even managed to do 3 LO's, Heather was so impressed with me, Linda if you are reading this, think you will be too, hee hee.
Carol had some gorgeous Scooby Doo embellishments and some Disney princess papers which "kind of" fell into my hands!!!!
A great crop Carol, and thanks for making us feel so welcome.
Last night, Roz asked me to go over and do some paperwork for the next Luxurious Angels retreat (email angel_crafts@hotmail.com) for more info, so after being bribed with some chocolate, I went.
So another late night as was 1 this morning before I went to bed, and I said to Roz, that tonight I was staying off UKS and going to bed early, and she made me write it out and sign it, so if you see me on tonight, shout at me.

Anyway must go, stash to drool over and I leave you with a piccy of the paperloft Well Worn range, this one is called Crazy for Flowers, yummy eh???

Today we also started the paperwork for the March retreat, so if anyone would like some info sent to them, email me at angel_crafts@hotmail.com this will be sent to you as soon as it is finished.

Tomorrow I need to tidy the stock and the house and want to take the kids and the dogs out for a walk. I hope it does not rain!!!

I leave you with a piccy of my own little angel.

New Stock


I have spent the last few days uploading stock onto the site, with loads more still to do. It seems to take forever, maybe I should stay off UKS and try to get more done.
One of my faves is the SEI Doodley Doo Holiday range, here is a sneek peek

My children


Thought I would dedicate this blog to 2 little people who are the most important things in my life!
Lauren is 6 and is in primary 3, Gordon is 4 and will start school next year.
They get on so well with each other and play together all the time, and very rarely fight!!!!!.
I took them round some houses at Halloween and they had a ball, 3 of their friends came along too. I have attached a piccy of them

On Sunday I am having a well earned rest and going to a crop, that I have not organised. It is in Craft Heaven in paisley and for those of you who don't know, Paisley is my home town and where my parents still live. My parents are still on holiday in China, but will be back soon, my mum is such a good friend and I have lots to tell her on her return.

Must go neighbours is on

Look what was in my order from Kars, certainly did not order this, and he is dressed as Scooby Doo!!!!

Hee Hee, don't kids love to play in boxes

Sunday, October 22, 2006

Ouch!!!!!


Have spent the past few days in Skye visiting my in laws, the night before Roz and I were finalising everything for the retreat at Lockerbie, ouch my Credit Card is sore! and we got home really late. Then my DH reminded me it was his dad's 80th the next day so could I make a card in the morning, yeh no plroblem!!!!
Anyway we set off and my 2 dogs were sick, sick and more sick, at one time they were sick at the same time.
We eventually arrived about dinner time on the Thursday, fed the kids and they went to bed.
Friday was a lovely day and Lauren and I went for a 2 hour treck, Lauren is 6 and goes to riding lessons but has not been out without being lead. She was on a lovely little horse called Megan, I was in a big brute called Fergus (aka Piggy)
We set out with Lauren being lead, but my horse piggy kept stopping to eat every 2 seconds and was so strong I was struggling to control him, so I ended up being lead and Lauren was on her own!
I am so so proud of her, she handled her horse like a little star and trotted on her own. She was so pleased!!
After we had lunch together and then DH came and picked us up.
Now I am still sooooooo sore!!!!!!!!!!
When we travelled home yesterday only one of my dogs were sick, so that was good.

Anyway am going now, few orders to process and stuff to sort for the retreat

Bye

Countdown

Not long to go until the retreat, and we are getting there!!
Tomorrow I need to call my suppliers with a couple of last minute orders and then price them, have a few on the way so hope DH is not around when the couriers arrive! hee hee
I actually bought something for myself today, a shiney new Artbin Tote, I normally carry my cropping goodies in a plastic box, well no more.

We tried tonight to get Gordon to go to sleep without a dummy, he will be 5 in March so it is about time he was giving it up, but come 10.30 he was still awake and crying and DH gave in, so he is now sound asleep with a dummy in his mouth (Gordon that is, not DH)

As my parents are away on holiday just now, I have their dog, so now have 3 papillons in the house, and last night we kept my friend's dog a King Charle's Spaniel, normally my dog Sophie barks constantly at him, but after 5 mins she stopped, thank goodness!!!!! So I had a house full of dogs LOL

Anyway am away to sort out some more paperwork and get to bed

Bye

Trying to get out of the stadium was a nightmare, so it was another v late night.

Heather came out with a saying I had never heard " Ribs: Run up them" and Linda came out with a saying that Heather (cut'n'paste) used, her blog is here, so you can have a wee look http://designrecollections.squarespace.com/
Today I have spent the day gurring my DD's room, she is 6 going on 16, so the barbies do not get played with any more, and she had about 30. So they are in a box to be sold on Ebay and any money she gets she can buy a Bratz doll.

Mad Cows!


We are just back from holiday.
We spent a week in a log cabin in Loch Monzevaird in Creiff, we have been there before and just love it. The weather was lovely, the dogs were off the leads and the kids had a ball!
On the Wednesday my parents and grampa came to spend the day with us and after lunch we decided to leave grampa with the dogs and the rest of us would walk round the loch.
It is about 1 1/2 miles right round and we were abour 100 yards from the cabin when we came accross a large group of menacing looking cows and a bull.
We debated walking through the field, but the cows did not look happy and my hubby was wearing a red top!
So back we walked.....................................
And came accross ANOTHER LOAD OF COWS!
At this point my daughter was hyterical, so we decided to walk up through the field to the main road and get back to the cabin that way.
It was also roasting hot, but eventually we reached the main road, and.................................
NO verges to walk on, and a very fast road!
So mum, myslef and the 2 kids sat and waited while my hubby and dad went back to get the Land rover so we could all pile in that.
So after saying to my grampa that we would only be an hour, we were away for about 3!!

So that night my parents stayed for dinner and they went out and bought us all..........................
..............................................STEAKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My kids were packed off to bed and we sat and watched Bridget Jone's Diary, have watched this loads, but it is still a favourite! We also sat and blethered and ate lots of chocolate!
A late night, but at least with the schools being off, i did not have to get up early.
It is raining here today, which I think is not a bad thing, but my kids are still out playing!
Right must go as have hundreds to do.


Tuesday, July 18, 2006

Last night at Girls Brigade they had a big do to celebrate their 50th birthday, Stonehouse has the largest number of girls in Scotland, which is very impressive. It was a really good night and some of the older girls had 13 years attendance, which is really great. My DD goes and loves it, every girl in her class goes along and they get collected from school.
Today after I drop the kids off I need to go and buy new trainers for my DS as he has been using them to slow him self down on his bike!! So the toes are right the way through, typical boy, LOL!!
Right away to get ready.

Had to go to a ballot at the nursery yesterday, as too many parents wanted a morning place! Afternoon would really not have suited me as nursery finishes at 3.45 and school at 3.00, so it would have meant taking Gordon out early or hanging about with Lauren.
Anyway there were 9 places for morning and Gordon was second last! I was having kittens, but am so glad he got his place!!!!
Apart form that i have been busy ordering more stock for the site and looking after the kids and dogs.
Right away for a cuppa!!!!

Today was my friend's birthday, Happy Birthday Roz!!!!! We went out for lunch and had a wee blether.
Kids are off school tomorrow (again), so am hoping the weather is nice so they can play out all day. I have arranged to have Lauren's friend over in the afternoon, but am going to keep it a suprise, as then I won't be asked the time a million times!!!!!!!!!!
Am going to try and do some scrapping tomorrow, but still have loads of goodies to load on the site and need to place another order, so maybe not. Also must clean the house, seem to say that all the time and it never gets done!
Have uploaded a LO I did of our younger puppy Sophie, she stayed in this for ages and was fast asleep!

Another busy weekend, held another crop yesterday and it went really well. The conversation at lunchtime was interesting to say the least, and I for one learned a thing or 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Managed to do 2 LO's, one of Lauren and one of Gordon.
Today my DH went to cut the grass but as the lawnmower had died, we had to go and buy a new one!
The rest of today has been spent updating my site and catching up on UKS.
Will take a photo of the LO's I did yesterday and upload them later.

Have been chocked with the cold all week, but feeling better today.
Our papillon Amy died recently aged 15 and I have been making an album about her, did it in 8x8, which was great fun to do. I finished the album the other day and Lauren loves to look at it.
I have included a picture of one of the LO's.

Have been busy today printing off photos to use at my crop this weekend, this will be the 3rd, and they are great fun, I have promised to take along some chocolate muffins, so will need to bake them on Friday.

Right must go and feed Gordon and the dogs.

My daughter is away to Pony Club today and I must go and get her some new clothes, she seems to have shot up recently, and nothing fits her now. She is only 6, but I think she will soon be taller than me!
My son is downstairs watching Power Rangers which is his favourite just now.
We were at the fun day at school yesterday, Gordon especially liked the Firemen.

Top 50 Scrappers


Happy Easter Everyone
Yesterday we took the kids and dogs to the park to roll their eggs, it was really cold and then started to rain! After the eggs were thrown down the hill, the dogs tried to eat them. Walking home our older puppy refused to walk and had to be carried, both dogs were really tired last night.
Finished another LO yesterday, our papillon Amy died recently at 15, so I am making a little album with photos of her.
