Hi everyone

i've been to a local crop today where i completed 2 scrap pages, made 2 cards half made 2 more then i did some cross stitching which was really good for me in the 6hrs i was there.

i'm out for most of the day tomorrow as i'm seeing my DS2 arrive in Okehampton camp after completing the ten tors expedition on Dartmoor he's doing the 45mile walk. Batteries have been fully charged for the camera so i'm hoping to take lots of photo's to scrap

Evening everyone it's been ages since i last posted on my blog. Last October i lost my job and then OH lost his in the November but i've since found work plus i've become a consultant for Creative Memories so that's a few extra pennies that i can spend on craft stuff.

Our Holiday in Yorkshire was great, we have also been up to Scotland again but had to sut it short due to the weather conditions we didn't want to get snowed in.

I've been busy crafting away i've finished 2 Scrapbook albums for my freinds one of the albums was of their holiday to Tunisia the other one was of their holiday to Scotland plus i'm in the middle of an album of their trip to Mombasa.

Monday 1st September

2008-09-01T05:45:00.000-07:00

these layouts were all done on Saturday at a crop i went to in Exeter. I had a really great day meeting new people who are crafty minded like me.

I also can't believe that next week i'll be back to work, getting bored at home now.

hoping to have some new baby cuddles on tuesday as my sister has had her 2nd baby on the 26th August and they have called her Caitlin Louise.

Thursday 28th August

2008-08-28T00:43:00.000-07:00

well i've now had my surgery and it's 5 weeks can't believe that the time has gone so quick.

i've become an aunty again as my sister has had a baby girl on Tuesday morning and they have named her Caitlin Louise her weight is 7lb 2oz and i can't wait to get a cuddle.

here is the card i made for my sister and BIL.

i've also been making christmas cards but i still have a lot to do

here are a couple that i've done and one of them i made last year it's a ribbon iris folding card

Friady 18th July

2008-07-18T14:07:00.000-07:00

i can't believe that it will only be next week and i've got my operation, to say i'm nervous is a bit of an understatement but i know it's for the best.

i had jam tarts at the start of the week tonight i've got mince tarts, i did bake a cake but as i was taking it out of the tin it fell so unfortunately it had to go in the bin but i will be making another cake over the weekend

Monday 14th July

2008-07-14T13:44:00.000-07:00

well here are the 3 lo's they are my 40th birthday meal, Kath & Phils wedding and Teresa's 60th birthday meal.

well it's not long before i get my operation it's on the 25th July and my OH will be waiting with me until i'm settled in.

i've made a steak and kidney pie today and i made 6 jam tarts of which at this precise time there is only 3 left :lol:

Saturday 12th July

2008-07-12T15:04:00.000-07:00

well i've been to my local crop today and i did 3 layouts of which i'll take the photo's on Monday as it's to dark to take them now. I also done a cricle journal entry.

i got given a sizzix machine plus 6 dies which i've had fun playing with today

i made a nice lemon drizzle cake which went down rather nicely, don't think i'll be making anymore for a while.

Got my date through to have my operation it's in 2wks time so i'll be off work for about 6wks, so i guess lots of reading and crafting will get done

Tuesday 8th July

2008-07-08T06:05:00.000-07:00

haven't done a lot today apart from helping my OH's neice move some of her black bags from one place to the other.

hoping to do a bit of crafting this afternoon before OH wakes up so i guess i'd better get on with it

i'm hoping to do a few scrapbooking layouts as well at the weekend as i haven't done any for ages or it seems like it.

Monday 7th July

2008-07-07T14:07:00.000-07:00

well i've done absoultely no crafting whatsoever this weekend. I had Philip out for the day yesterday and we had a lovely Roast dinner followed by rice pudding for dessert

i'm hoping to make a card or two tomorrow.

tried ringing the hospital today to sort out my surgery date and no-one was available to take the call so it looks like i'm going to have to ring on Thursday and hopefully i can still have the surgery done

Friday 4th July

2008-07-04T13:17:00.000-07:00

well it looks like my surgery date has come through it's in 2 wks time and i'll have to go for a pre op assessment one day next week but i tried ringing to confirm that i'll be taking the date and i got no answer from the department at all, so it looks like i'm having to wait for the letter with the phone number on it so i can ring them

i'm feeling very nervous about this operation but it what i wanted just didn't think the hospital consultant would let me have it done

oh well never mind at least i'll have time to do lots of crafting and reading
