Loving me some ink!!

Dont know why i havent had any for so long but i love the fact im using coloured ink again! I just love edging things with something other than black pen or stazon! lol Simple things n all that!! ;)

Here is my layout (edged with creamy brown chalk ink)! lol
Off to the pictures tomorrow night with Claire to see Mama Mia then staying at my sisters on Friday with my oldest son to go see Dark Knight! Carboot sale on sunday and the kids holidays start today so waheyyyyy here comes summer!!! :) :)

The sun is shining....

.....today is a good day. You know when you wake up and its just 'a good day today' - well today is that day! Dont know what it is some days but they are different to the others, the birds chirping and waking you up dont seem so annoying. The kettle taking a little longer to boil means you have longer to laze looking out of the window at said birds.......instead of cursing because you need your caffine NOW!! LOL Today is a good day! :D

Charity shop run this morning and subway for lunch, going for the boys in a minute then i think i will do some scrapbooking - i love the sun :D

Heres my little man playing bumblebees with some sticky bullets - i know i would rather be an insect than shot.....isnt innocence sweet!!
Catch you all tomorrow

Scrap happy!!

I am back scrapping and loving it!! Seriously, i take a break for a couple of months, get rid of all my stash and the urge comes back - isnt it always the case! So now im having to start from scratch - helped by the visit to Artbase at the weekend while in London ;)
Here is my favourite layout i did while i was away...We had a fabulous time, i have never laughed so much in ages and my stomach still hurts from all the food!! (ok so that might have been the rice pudding that weighed about 6stone but it was nice!!) LOL I only had one really late night but that was nothing compared to the alnighters we have pulled in the past so this year i was a lightweight and actually went to bed!! (yes that is a lemon in the picture - one of the girls - lemon - couldnt make it so we did her adventures anyway!) So funny, so great, so good to have these girls as friends :D

YAYY tomorrow is the day!!

The long awaited girlie weekend starts tomorrow when i catch a 7am flight to London!! So excited and will probably come home with aching sides, tear stained face and a countdown calender to the next girlie weekend.This pic was taken in our last Scotland retreat - i love these friends so much!! :)
I have brought all my scrapbooking stash back in from the scrapshed as it just wasnt working for me - the dresser has now been renovated to incorporate my stash. I have used existing jugs, bowls to display some of the pens, buttons etc so that it still looks like a dresser - just a little bit more funky! :)
Heres a sneaky peek of my guest DT spot project obviously i cant show the whole thing or say who ive been working for yet but i love these little flowers i designed myself so had to share :)

Monday again...

The weeks are flying over a little too fast for me! I am on new meds and unfortunately they are knocking me out, ive done nothing but yawn and im almost to tired to do anything!!
I do however need to get more scrapbooking done, get a bag packed, catch a bus tomorrow to see if i can see Ewen doing his walk (see 2 posts below). I also have a few bits to pick up and some tickets to book for The Dark Knight - i choke each time i see the trailer thinking how much Heath put into the role (tipped for an Oscar) and figure im going to be a wreck when i have to sit through the movie but i am going to see it with my sister the weekend its released. CANT WAIT - dont forget tissues!! What a waste :(

shabby chic cafe...

so sorry girls dh is working on the cross over but its taking longer than expected - please bear with us and it should be up and running by tonight :D Please have lots of pics etc ready to share as you know we will all be up until the early hours catching up!!

Catch you all later and until then feel free to chat on here! LOL

Sorrrrrrrrrrrryyy!!

No update pics of the inside of my shed as i still dont have the shelving up that i wanted to - dh did promise but alas its proving more difficult than ever what with man flu in the offing!!

I did take some new pics of me for my A Month in the Life scrapbook - a journal and photo page everyday for the month of July! I havent scrapped in SO long and im really enjoying it again - plus i have just been asked to do a guest spot on a design team so fingers crossed im back in the swing :)
E knocked over some cream the other night and just look how it landed - S is holding him back as he was about to blow it all over - hey not before i reverted to major scrapper mode and grabbed the camera!! LOL
I am hoping to bump into this man on Tuesday - take a look at his blog and see just how inspirational he is. It really does bring a lump to my throat and make me more determined than ever to do either the Ho Chi Min cycle ride or the Great Wall Walk next October - i will do it!! :D
