Saturday 18th April 2009

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.

Thursday 4th September

well i've just finished a parchment christmas card. Can't wait to get back to work next week need the money to start buying my christmas pressies.

Plus i can't wait for October as i'm going yo to the Yorkshire Dales for a holiday with OH.

saw my neice Caitlin on Tuesday and she's lovely can't wait to have another cuddle

Monday 1st September

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

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

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

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

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
