Back from Holiday

We are now back from holiday, we were in Feurteventura for 2 weeks and it was fab!! We stayed in a gorgeous hotel just off the beach and the weather was amazing. The kids had a great time playing about the pool and beach and the food was great, even if Gordon did insist on a daily dose of pasta, lol!!!
here is a pic of the kids on the beach


The other day we went looking at cars, my Ford Focus was getting a little tired so time to trade it in. As my last 2 cars have been silver I did not want another that colour. So I have picked a car and will collect in a couple of days and the colour, well it is called Chill, which is errrrr sort of silver, lol!

Where did the week go??

Well that is the first week of the holidays gone, er where exactly??? It has just flown by.
Kids have been busy playing (between rain showers), Gordon's record this week was 4 pairs of shorts in one day, he can't seem to keep away from puddles, lol!
On Friday Lauren went to the pictures with her friend and then they had a sleepover here, and Saturday I took them both to the stables for the day, Lauren is still sleeping which is really not like her.
I have a busy few days before we go on holiday on Wednesday, today need to go to East Kilbride for few bits and pieces, tonight we have friends over for dinner. Tomorrow night our Financial adviser is over to see us and Tuesday will be spent doing last minute packing for us going.
Really looking forward to this holiday, in all it's not been a great year with my grampa not being well and being admitted to hospital and then him passing away. He was such a lovely man, and always there when I needed him, he was like a second dad to me. My hubby's cousin also passed away and together with everything else has made this a not so wonderful year.

Anyway I leave you with a pic of a wee quote book I made Gordon's teacher.

Been scrapping and new stash

I took a pic of my 2 wee dogs ages ago and scrapped it the other day, and boy did I have fun!!. Due to various reasons my mojo had gone walkabout in recent months, but am glad to say that he has made his way home!
I used Sassfrass Lass papers, Hambly Overlay, American Crafts thickers and a Riff Raff coffee cup

And wow do I have new stash in stock, Heidi Grace, October Afternoon, Queen and Co, Maya Road and more, come and visit www.angelcrafts.biz

Sneek Peek

A few of the girls have been asking to see a sneek peek of next month's ribbon kit, so here you go, the ribbons go lovely with the new October Afternoon papers Daydreams range

Crash, Bang, Wallop

On Saturday Gordon fell off his bike and hit his head against the pavement, he came rushing in with an egg size lump on his forehead. So we had to take him to hospital, his daddy drove while I sat in the back and prodded him to stay awake as he was very sleepy and feeling sick. At the hospital he was checked over and after a few hours we were able to go home
On Sunday our council had arranged a photography class so myself Jenni and Linda went out for lunch and along to that, it was really good, thanks girls for a really fab day xxx

Today I have spent my time making up next month's ribbon kit, entitled "Botanical Dreams" and boy it looks lush!!!

I leave you with a pic of my dogs playing

Oops!

Keep forgetting to update my blog!

Have been busy over the last while, made the mistake of starting to watch Big Brother so that's me totally hooked, LOL!
Went to Stewarton on sat with the shop to a crop - thank you girls for having me, I had a brilliant time!
And I have been busy scraping, I always make little teachers quote books at the end of term, so have finished 1 and 1 more to do.
Here are some pics of it

Busy scrapping!

Yes I have been busy scrapping

Lauren has a talk to do at school next week and wants to do it about Gordon, so I said that I would make a wee book for her.
I have used a Cosmo Cricket Blackboard book, BAmpop papers and ribbons from May and June's kits

My mojo for various reasons had gone walk about, but I think it has come back!

I leave you with some pages from the book, Lauren still needs to do her journalling

Crop tomorrow

Crop tomorrow and a 12 hour one at that, I think Linda will be taking bets on the number of LO's I do - lots honest!!

Today was DS's assembly at school, they did it on Travelling Ted, it was so good. Both my kids have been out playing loads with this nice weather, poor wee Gordon is covered with bruises and scratches from falling all the time.

Away to get kids to bed

Been Scrapping, sneek peeks and more

More new goodies in stock, we are now stocking gorgeous chipbaord from Riff Raff designs, ny little boy Gordon has his eyes on these




















Lauren loves these

























Sunday DH was watching football and the kids were happy playing so I scrapped, my mojo went walkabout for a while but has come galloping back, so I did this layout, I have used ribbons from our May Ribbon kit, some gorgeous Fancy pants papers, cut the letters on the Cuttlebug and used Crackle paint on them, and then dusted them with Opal Dust, really had fun with this



















and a close up of the scrummy ribbons



And lastly a sneek peek of next months ribbon kit

Apart from that today I did yet more gardening and packing orders, away now for some dinner

Busy Day

Up early this morning to get lauren ready for horse riding, she now spends every saturday from 10-5 at the stables and loves it and comes home filthy!!
A frend picked Lauren up and I nipped to the Post Office with some orders, back home, first load of washing out and decide to do some weeding.
Fill 3 bags with weeds and cut some things back, then in for shower and then chuck Gordon in as well as he has a party to get to, then quick bite of lunch and take Gordon to party.
Then you will never guess what I did when I got back - yes SCRAPPED!!!!!!

Just going out in few mins to get Gordon and pick girls up from stables

I will leave you with the card that I made for Gordon to give the birthday boy, I have used Bampop papers, the single sheets of these will be with us next week, and I have used a Bampop stamp and covered it with stickles, the ribbons are from our April Ribbon kit

Being Busy

Another busy few days, this morning kids and I did our daily trip to the Post Office with all the orders, then out to get MIL a birthday pres. We got her a lovely photo frame so will need to print a pic of the kids to go in it.

Also spent some time finalising May and June's ribbon kit. May's is looking v scrummy, and so is June's, you will just have to wait and see!

This afternoon we watched Neighbours and then I did some school work with Lauren, took dogs for a walk and then the kids went out to play.

I leave you with a pic of my little darlings

Pink Paislee is here!!

And it's looking scrummy!!

Think I will just keep it all, but here is a pic of one of the kits we have on the site

I think I have............

............... Sleeping Sickness, OMG I am so knackered.
Normally I am fine on 6-7 hours sleep, but recently have been having 9 hours or so and am just so tired, think I need to take some vitamins

Kids are away at mums for a couple of days, so tomorrow I am ................ wait for it..................................... Stocktaking, sounds like fun eh? errrr not.

Yesterday I went for a riding lesson at the stables that DD goes to, she joined me, and we had a great time. I used to love going when I was wee, and have been meaning to get back to it.

Anyway bed is calling, I leave you with pics of our scrummy Heidi Grace kits, they are flying out the door

Knackered!

Gordon was sick yesterday afternoon and went to bed early, all well and good.......................
4 this morning............ yip up being sick again, so today I have mostly sat with a small child on my knee who needed big cuddles.
We managed to get him to go for a little sleep, but I am sooooo tired I can hardly think straight.
I think I will be in bed straight after dinner
We were going to see my mum today as it is her birthday but will go tomorrow as the kids are now off for 2 weeks.

What else have I been doing? oh yes, we booked our summer holiday, OMG cannot wait, back to Feurteventura again, the kids loved it last time. We are going to a different hotel this time.

I leave you with some gorgeous paper to drool at from the Midnight kisses range from Heidi Grace, scrummy or what?
