He's football crazy!!

Evening all ...

Well I have been a slack-Sally again on the old blog front, I have no excuse .. except that summer arrived in Scotland last Friday and it has been lovely and sunny, so we have been spending most of our free time outside, finally!!!

So not been scrapping as much, although I did take Scrapbook Trends, Cards and a notebook down to the park and jotted down lots of ideas!!

I have many works in progress, as a result of superb daily prompts over on Cocoa Daisy, I am loving this forum, it is really inspiring and a great group of ladies.... I have been persuaded, lol, to sub to their kits ... can't wait!! I was extremely shocked recently to have been awarded the LO of the week twice in as many weeks, which is a great boost to the old confidence!

Here is a LO for you, I haven't taken any pics of the other finished ones and the light is too bad now ... in fact the light was bad on this LO, but you will get the general idea!Ethan joined a football team yesterday ... he is now signed up for football training every Tuesday evening, yesterday was his first session ad he LOVED it ... so, so cute..... I really wanted him to take part in a group sport, for the team building/confidence, as he starts school in the summer and I am fretting..... so i will now be spending my Tuesday evenings hanging out at the park... better get a good book!

Right, I am really tired tonight, I went for a really nice walk to Dysart this afternoon while he was at nursery, am in training for the Race for Life in a few weeks ... so am going to go to bed in anticipation of The Apprentice!

4 weeks today my boy will be 5!!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes, yikes .... where oh where has the time gone?!
But on a less gut-wrenching note .. 4 weeks on Sat we will be lapping up the Greek sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nighty night!

Getting crafty ....

Sorry, been slacking on the old blog front .... E was away with his dad all last week, so I had loads on to keep me busy!

I still have a mountain of photos to go through ... will get some up soon ..

But here are a couple of LO I have been working on. Better go, got to get my boy, then we are going out for tea! Yum!

My laptop is still away at the Dr, lol, so in the meantime as I need to get some admin done, I have a loan of a laptop for the day .... my how I have missed it. Got a million emails and queries to respond too, (i also have a evoucher for an online stash shop, so want to get shopping as loads if new yumminess out!) and if I get time I will upload some pics.

Loving the Daisies!

Why is it raining ... is that summer over, oh my!? You wouldn't believe it from looking at the weather today, but I wore a sundress on Saturday ... it is back to wellies and jumpers today!!

We had a lovely week, lots of baking, crafting, trips to the park, Ethan is so much fun right now, I just love all his chat! I had a ball at the weekend, met up for lunch, which turned into a shopping trip, which then turned into dinner, which then turned into a trip to the cinema, great times! We went to see I Love You Man, seriously funny film... I need to get back on the diet today, as it kind of went out the window last week ... oh dear!

It was also an online crop over on Cocoa Daisy ... Katy and I were scrapping up a storm, and taking part in lots of challenges. Then to top it off, last night we all got to chat to Ali Edwards, she is totally amazing .. I am in awe! I managed to get the old mojo back on track, which is great. Here are a couple of LOs I have been working on, I have a few more needing that little finishing touch, then I can upload. I have also been playing around making fabric flowers, I have been attempting to make a 'bonnet bloom', as I love them, but am not going to pay £4 for 2!!! What do you think??! I am just about to drop Ethan at nursery, then I get 3 1/2 hours to scrap, scrap, scrap, yayyyyy!! Oh, can you believe this .. E got new shoes at the weekend ... he is a size 13, he is only 4!!! Yikes!

Anyway, hope you all have sun today and not rain .. I need to tidy up as Ethan has been painting at his easil this morning .. lots of lovely works of art, hee hee!
