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.

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!!!!)

Have been very busy recently, am in the middle of the OU photo course and wow have I learned a lot! From aperature, Depth of Field, ISO you name it!
I even bought myslef a new camera, a shiney Canon Eos 400D, I just got the basic lens but I used to have an old film canon and now I have 3 lenses as the old ones worked. Now have my heart set on a macro lens, wonder what my chance are???

I went back to the gym on Monday and am paying for it now, I ache everywhere.

Kept Gordon off nursery on Tuesday and we went to see my Grampa, or papa Toe as the kids call him (he had to have a toe removed whn Lauren was little so she called him papa No Toe, and it has become papa Toe, lol!)

Today I was busy packing orders and starting to get packed for the crop this weekend, we have Heather teaching a class for us, wait till you see it, v yummy!!!!

OK need to get on now so I leave you with a couple of pics I took of the kids at the park on Sunday.

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

5 years ago I went into hospital and an hour later had a baby boy in my arms, where does the time go? Cannot believe my wee boy is 5 already.

He watched the film Gremlins and had his heart set on his own wee Gizmo (thank you Amazon, lol), have attached a piccy of them cuddling.

On Saturday we are having a party for him and 40 kids are coming along, that will be fun, so if anyone wants to come and help, please do.......................................

Sleepy Angel

Yup that is me after our fabulous Luxurious Angels retreat, it was soooooooo good! The hotel was fab, lovely food, great company, wonderful classes, what more could you want??

I shared a room with Heather and she kept me up half the night talking, hee hee.

I need to say thanks to Roz, for being a great business partner, and yes we ARE having another retreat, watch this space.......
Thanks to Heather for teaching some fab classes and for being such a good if chatty room mate, thanks to Kirsty for coming all that way to teach and for the excellent camera class, loved it!!
Thanks to all the girls for coming along, especially Rod!! And to Clair for supplying some great tunes, we are going to miss you. Thanks to the rest of the girls for making our weekend so wonderful, and here's to the next one!!

And if you were running a book, I managed to do 4 LO's, I will upload them soon, just to prove it, OK away back to stock-taking

Stash, stash and more stash

Am sitting surrounded in stash, yummy!!!!
Need to get it all priced and then later today I will get another kit built for the retreat, as time is marching on.
Web site still not live, I will get there one day honest!!

Kits being sent to the DT next week, hope they like them!!!!!!!

Away to stitches on Monday morning, 2 days with no kids.............bliss!!!

The design Team

Design team chosen

They are Fruitysuet, RozRoz, Maggiemae, Cutnpaste, Gertie and hysteri-CAL
very hard to chhose as all the entries received were so fabulous!!!

Thanks girls and welcome to the team!!

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

She got lots of lovely presents and cards, and especially liked the card her little brother made her. He made it all by himself, OK he did use peel off stickers, LOL!

Last week-end it was her friends birthday as well, so we took them all to Pizza Hut and the pictures. Today she had a friend over after school and her gran, grampa and great-grandad came over.

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

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!!!

Spend Spend Spend

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

Secondly I ordered lots of 3 Bugs goodies from the states, so they will be here probably next week, yummy, I will want to keep them all

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.

So Cute

Was looking through some photos tonight and came accross this one thet my dad had taken of our dog Emma. She was just weeks old then and now she is 16 months.

Anyway that is all from me, I need my bed!

Night xxx

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.

Ok need to get kids to bed
bye

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
xxx

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
xxx

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

OOPS

OK firstly sorry for not updating for soooooo long, how bad am I????

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

Bye

Robbie, Ribs and Barbies!!!

What a weekend I have had!

On Friday, Roz, Heather and I went to see the fantastic Robbie, OMG it was fab!!!! The stage was fantastic and he sure can entertain!
Trying to get out of the stadium was a nightmare, so it was another v late night.
On Saturday I had my crop in our local church and lots of the girls from UKS were there. Thank you guys for making me laugh so much, I totally forgot how tired I was!
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.

Also yesterday my order of Angel Kisses arrived so I will need to get them loaded on the site so you can all drool over them
Will leave you with a piccy of them, yummy!!!!!
