Flying out the door

The Hambly rub-ons and Overlays that I ordered are flying out the door, seriously if you want some of these, order now!!!!

My hire car was delivered this morning, and the garage called to say there was a lot more damage to my car than they first thought, and it will be in for at least 2 weeks. They will also valet it and clean it for me too! I must remember that the hire car takes Diesel!

Gordon still has a bit of a sore neck, and Lauren is still very white looking, tired and weepy. At least they are off for a few days next week so can rest a bit.

I leave you with another piccy of a Hambly overlay.......... Lush or what????

look what I have got

Will be on the site later

ouch!!

That is how I am feeling today, my shoulder and down my arm is so sore, and I have a splitting headache.
Kids were off today, but because they were in bed so late last night, they were really tired today, they did not actually get round to getting dressed at all.
Tried to help Lauren with some homework but she was just so tired, so gave up.

My head feels full of mince and so have not actually achieved anything today, have a box of stash arrive from the states today and have to admit to not actually opening it yet! So you will have to wait a bit longer to purchase, lol!!

Bad Car Day

Today my hubby was stranded in the house as he could not get the handbrake released from his Land Rover, someone came out to look at it, could not sort it either, so took it off manually and hubby then had to drive it to the garage and get a curtesy car.

So far so good.......................

Then coming back from swimming, we were sat stationary and Whack, someone thumped into the back of us. Took me a second to think, oh we have been hit.
Then the kids got hysterical and have to say so did I.

My car does not look too bad, think the bumper took most of the impact, but am sure it will be a lot worse.
We were all really sore, so took a trip to A&E to be on the safe side. And yes we were there for hours.

Will need to keep the kids off tomorrow as they have missed about 3 hours sleep.

Doctor says I have to expect to be pretty sore tomorrow and for the next few days, can feel my back getting bad already.

Away fro hot bath, some paracetemol and bed

night

Inundated

Wow you lot can't half scrap!!!!

I have received loads of entries for the Design team, and think it is going to be really hard to pick!
The new web site is coming along nicely, and with it we will have a lovely shiney new gallery to display all the Design Team Layouts.

OK away to upload more products
Bye for now

Look what I did!!!!

My first Digi LO!!!!!!!

OMG no mess to tidy up, mmmm could get to like this, but think I need more practise, LOL!

Oops!!

How bad am I, just realised I have not updated my blog all week!!!

Busy week have been at the gym a few times, packed loads of orders, the sale stock is going really fast on the site. Been over at Roz's sending emails out for Luxurious Angels , have a peek at what we have arranged for classes.

Kids are back at school this week, Lauren is 7 week after next so I have been busy buying pressies for her. She is not getting much as already got pony club membership, but we got her an i-pup (thanks Maggie) and a guitar.

Tomorrow I have Linda, Jenni and Elin coming over for a Craft Robo day. Wonder if we will actually learn anything or be too busy talking, hee hee.

A quiet day

This morning Lauren was up bright and early and starving! So her breakfast made dogs out and then Gordon got up and wanted to come into bed for a cuddle. He is still at the really cuddly stage and smells lovely when he just wakes! Emma of course would snuggle in bed all day if I was there so she came in for a cuddle too, and ended up snuggling in between me and Gordon, we were like that for ages, that dog is such a wee sap!!!

Then I got some orders packed, did the ironing (bad word), and then we played with the Hama beads, my brother bought these for Lauren and hey they are really good. I helped Gordon make a duck and Lauren made an L, no doubt we shall make some to incorporate into our scrapping, wonder if they are Acid free? Answers on a postcard please, hee hee

Apart from that have had a quiet day, kids in bed early as back at school tomorrow, and I will be back at the gym to shed some of the pounds the mince pies have piled on!!

Also watched Desperate Housewifes, OMG how good is that??

Wishes and Dreams for 2007

Last year was great, busy yes, but great.
Angel Crafts has grown considerably, I started the business in Oct 2005, with a tiny amount of stock, now there is well, quite a lot!!! Don't forget to check out our HUGE sale!!!!
The crops are also going well and are good fun.
Last year, Roz and I also opened a joint business in the name of Luxurious Angels, we had our first retreat last October and it was fab. We hope that loads of you will join us in March

My little boy also started nursery last year and loves it, cannot believe he will start school in August and Lauren will go into Primary 4

I made loads of new friends last year including all the girls at the crop and the retreat and of course best of all – Roz.
I also got to meet the amazing Kirsty and Anna.
Sadly one friendship did not survive.

We had some sadness at the beginning of last year when Amy our little papillon who had been with us for 15 years had to be put to sleep. Hamish had bought her for my 21st, and she was our baby. Shortly before we had got a new puppy Emma, and after we got another Sophie, again they are both papillons, and we love them loads.



My wishes and dreams for this year, well for Angel Crafts to continue to grow. There is a new site being built just now, which will have a lot more features. Then I shall be looking for a Design team.
Luxurious Angels next retreat is in March, and if it half as good as the last, I will be happy.

Personally I need to lose some weight, xmas has not helped, hee hee!! About a stone and I will be happy, so Monday will see me at the gym………….
I would also like to do more scrapping for me, ie of the kids, etc. Both my kids are into scrapping now, so no doubt we shall be scrapping together.

Most importantly I wish my children and husband much love and happiness. Hamish and I will have been married for 17 years come this August, we were both very young when we got married, I was only 20, he was 21.

I will leave you with a LO I finished today, I have framed it to go in my DD’s room, tomorrow I will do one for Gordon.
It shows all our little papillons together.

Happy New Year!!!!

To all my friends, family and Customers: a happy new year to you all!!!

Started a LO yesterday, it is a piccy my dad took of Gordon, but Gordon keeps saying that it is not him as he does not have shoes like that ( he used to !!!) and so it must be his little cousin. Kids are sooooo funny.

Here it is....

Sale Time!!!!

We are having a massive sale at Angel crafts, and we have some papers down to 35p a sheet!!! Included in the sale are such goodies as Rob and Bob, Paperloft, Making Memories eyelets, Chipboard and loads more.
Check it out at www.angelcrafts.biz

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!!!!!!!!!

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
