Stash and more stash

Have been busy loading scrummy stash on to the site - yes we have loads more Hambly in stock and it is flying out the door!!!
This is one of my faves


What else? well we have loads more paint dabbers in stock and a loads of Heidi Swapp goodies, but these may not last long as Lauren spotted them today!
Oh and the Prima Paintables and new AL papers should be here next week.

Right my bed is calling, night!!

Being busy

Yip that's been me! what with packing orders, ordering more stash lol, got an email from my favourite company last night saying that their new products were available to order!!! At last, I have been waiting for ages and my stocks are running seriously low, so watch this space for new Hambly!!!!

Sophie is still loving her new food and eating like a wee pig, however we have noticed no change in her, she is still her mad little self. She escaped (again) the other day and walked straight into our neighbours house!!

Camera club is back on again tonight so am going to that.

Must go and feed kiddies

Little Sophie

Hamish and I took Sophie to the Glasgow vet school on Monday, and they confirmed that with the results of the blood test, there is something wrong with her liver.
We have a number of options
1. Leave well alone- she is not unwell and the fact that she is now fully grown and has had no problems, is a very good sign. However we won't be able to get her done and if she has problems later on, it may be too late.
2, Get a liver scan, she will need a GA, and because she is so tiny, it may not show anything
3. After the scan get a liver bi-opsy and they will inject die to the blood vessels and watch what happens

It just seems such a lot to put her through, in the meantime she is on a special diet, has anti-biotics and a mild laxative so toxins are not staying in her body too long
The vet thinks she may have a liver shunt and with this diet we should see a difference in 3 weeks. The food is very bland and we may have a problem with her eating it - errrr no she has scoffed it!!


What else have I been doing? Packing orders, looking after the kids, and wooo hoo I have a cleaner starting next week!!!
Have you seen the Rouge De Garance papers we have in stock, very yummy.
We also had a load of Australian mags arrive yesterday, and they are flying out the door already.

Bye for now

Have you seen???

The Crafter's Workshop Templates? OMG they are fab, and are flying out the door!!! Use them with inks, paints, chalks, the list is endless. Get yours here now!!

Have you got a Bind-it-all yet? These are going to be the hottest thing this year and we have them here

And just now I am loading even more stash on the site, am hoping that they will be here early next week, depending of course on customs. Want to see??? Look here

Not good news

Had a call from the vet today with the results of Sophie's second blood test, and her liver function test was 500 times higher than normal.
The vet had been onto the vet school and they wonder if the blood vessels to her liver have not formed properly and that could account for the fact that 1. she is so tiny and 2. that she has always had a dodgy tummy.

The vet has referred us to the Glasgow vet school and we have an appointment on Monday, they will give her a liver scan and we will take it from there.

Please send hugs her way

Poor wee Sophie

Today my little dog went in to be spayed. At the vet I was offered a blood test to make sure everything was OK, sixth sence made me say yes.
I came home and the vet rang to say that there were a couple of abnormalities in her liver function test, they could not continue with the operation and she had to have another blood test.

Now we have to wait 2 days for the results, am hoping it has just been a blip.

OMG they are here

Courier has just been with 5 large boxes, has a quick peek and it is full of Bind-it-alls, o wires and wait for it.............................................................

Well we came back from holiday a week ago and we had a fab time, but the tans are fading fast, since then I have been busy packing orders and ordering even more stash! Our stocks of Basic Grey arrived today and are going fast and we have some scrummy bazzill shades in stock. Hopefully the Bind-it-alls will be here next week along with the new BAMPOP! collections.
This week we have also received the Cherry Artes Poolside papers and some yummy papers from Stemma, both of these are perfect for your holiday pics.
Speaking of holiday pics, I will leave you with a couple

Also been busy with orders, and finishing of my ECA for the OU course, just got some written work to do, and that is it
But I have been looking into another course to do and have found 1 which looks good, so think I will sign up for that when the kids go back to school.

My kids have been out playing all day with their wee pals, it rained all nigt so the ground is so muddy and they are filthy, and I mean FILTHY, lol!! DS is in the shower right now, and being a typical male he wil be in there for hours.

Our village has a Craft Fair on tomorrow, so I have a table showing yip scrapping, looking forward to seeing other carfts that others do.

Did another layout the other night, OMG 2 in 1 week!!!

We are now half way through the first week of the school holidays, the weather has been not too bad, so the kids have been out playing all the time and coming in filthy, the seem to be right little dirt magnets. And their favourite hobby is climbing trees.

The end of an era

well my baby has finished nursery and in August he will start school, and he is sooooo excited!!
Am I? well I thought I was, but the more I think about it, er no! For the last 7 years I have had 1 child or other in the house during the day, so think it will be a bigger shock for me than for him.

And last night i scrapped and finished a layout

Busy Busy Busy

Here is a pic of the Heidi Grace Cute cake kit on the site just now, very yummy!!

Been really busy this week with packing orders, looking after the kids and making teachers presents, yip kids finish up on Friday.
Gordon starts school in August, and not sure how I am feeling about that, I have been at home with either of them for the last 7 years, so think it will be a big shock to me. On the plus side it means that I will be able to work on the business a wee bit more and not be still working at midnight. I also plan to get back to the gym and get more scrapping done myself. mmmmmm will I achieve any of this do you think? update in September!!!!

And the good news - I was published in Scrapbook Magazine this week, in the readers album page. 4 of my projects were featured and I am over the moon!!!

The lovely Kirsty is up in Scotland this week so am looking forward to catching up with her.

Let's try again

OK here goes

I promise from now on I will update my blog at least twice a week (honest!!!!)
