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!!!!!!!!!

Countdown

Getting there! I think, the tree is up, pressies wrapped, shopping list written, bet there is something I have forgotten.

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!!!!!

OK time to go Gordon is hungry!!!

Busy busy

Another busy weekend, had 4 dogs and 3 kids. My parents are away for the weekend so had their dog and Roz was away with Gerry so had Ben and their dog. They were all very good and Gordon loved having Ben to play with.
Yesterday Lauren announced that she needed white tights to wear to her nativity tomorrow!!! So I had to go into Hamilton this morning to get some, luckily Next had them.
I have nearly finished the album for my MIL xmas, want to take a piccy of the kids in front of the tree and that will be it done. Then I will get some pics of the kids scrapped.

Right away to pack the loads of orders in this weekend and do more stash shopping, oops did I say that??? hee hee

They're here!!!

At last the gorgeous papers from Colour My World are here and they are simply stunning!!

IRL they are very shimmery, just gorgeous, think maybe I will just keep them all!! hee hee

Also got some Crop-A-Diles in stock yesterday, and they are all nearly gone already!!!

We have a busy week ahead tomorrow the kids are going riding, and tomorrow night we have Pony Club presentation to go to. On Monday night Roz is coming over to scrap, Tuesday and Wed we have Lauren's nativity, Thurs afternoon, is Gordon's and Thursday night is pony jumping and Fri night we will go and see santa.

There is a house in Coalburn where the owner decorates all his garden and there is even a santa handing out pressies to the kids, it is just fab and sooooo busy. They ask for a donation and the funds go to Sick Kids, if you are nearby go along, you will love it!!!

OK away to sort out 4 kids that are in the house just now

That is what I have been doing today!!!
First I bought myself a printer, just now the printer is hooked up to my hubby's PC and is one which has 5 differnet ink cartridges, which are chipped, and costs a fortune for ink. Also if I needed anything printed from my laptop, it was a pain!! So that is number 1

Thirdly more Lippy Chick Books, I seem to go through them like anything, and if you buy one on its own or in a kit before 10th Dec, you have a chance of winning something.

Kisses

Lauren has been at my mum's some of the weekend, as they took her to the ballet to see Sleeping Beauty, so Gordon has been playing a lot with the dogs, and as you can see, has been getting lots of kisses xxx

He was also dressed up as Scooby Doo, as I want to make a LO of him as I have some fab Scooby Doo stickers to use.

Not done much this weekend, did some more pages from the album I am making my MIL for xmas, only 10 more LO's to do!! Better get my skates on! Am also making my mum a Lippy Chick book so managed to get a bit more of that done.

Right away to get on, my delivery from the states should be here on Tuesday, so watch the site!!!!

Website Live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Been busy this week ordering stash for Angel Crafts, some fab stash from the states, which is winging its way to me as we speak, yummy!!!!!

Also have you seen the Luxurious Angels website???
It is now live and looking fab, what do you think?
We are now taking bookings so go and dig out your wings and tiara, and download the booking form form the site.

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???

Busy, Busy, Busy

Have been inundated with orders over the last couple of days, there is another Cybercrop coming up on UKS and one of the classes features a Lippy Chick Book so lots of you lovely girls have been buying them and other goodies from me. Hope you all love your little free gift too!!

It is pouring here, typical Scottish weather-Yuck!!! My kids have their riding lessons tomorrow, so am hoping it stops soon!
Am also hoping I will get some time to scrap this weekend as I have decided to make an album for my MIL for xmas, so better get cracking!!!
I leave you with a piccy of Batman

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???

Tired

I am so tired, in the last few months I have not seen my bed before midnight, we have been so busy working on the retreat, and this week I have been laoding all the new stock on the site and stocktaking, the joys!!!
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

Yummy!!!!!!!!!!!

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 I got

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

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

DH and I came back from holiday recently, we went to Lanzarote without our kids for a week, and my parents stayed here to watch them, so we came back to the grass nicely cut and a v clean house. I should go away more often LOL !!!!

We have also been busy organinsing the retreat for the Luxurious Angels, am panicking now that they will enjoy it and realise how much hard work it has actually been
Roz and I have spent many a late night packing class kits and building the LA web site, watch this space!!!!!
The retreat is drawing nearer and I am looking forward to meeting all the Angels and of course the other 2 fabby teachers: Kirsty and Anna
We are also working on the retreat for March and have a few things lined up already!!!

My kids are now on holiday for a week, so we are making a flying visit to Skye for a couple of days, where my in laws stay. When we are there Lauren and I are going horse riding for a 2 hour treck, am so looking forward to it!

OK enough chat from me, I am away to price more goodies and kiss my wee boy
