School's out!

Well, thee is no nursery for the next 3 days, in-service, so I am thinking up fun ways to keep my little munchkin entertained! We had a baking-fest this morn, and then we are heading into town. I said we might have a sneaky wee Old McDonald's! We are off to the park and then up to my brothers tomorrow and then off to see Amy and Michelle on Friday for a play-date, so that should keep him busy!

Ethan and his little 'girlfriend' gave valentines cards to each other, so knowing that his mummy doesn't buy cards, he asked me to make him a valentines card..... oh the pressure! His teacher told me that he has lots of the little girls fighting over him, and they all want to marry him, hee hee, oh dear, is this a taste of things to come?! I don't want him to marry anyone, I want him to stay with me forever.....!

We have been having lots of Wii fun, as I got him a new game this week, Raving Rabbits, hilarious, and so doesn't make any sense. But it is great relief from Ben 10, as I get a sore head from fighting all the aliens!

Also very excited, as we are about to book our family summer holiday, yay, 2 weeks of Greek sunshine coming up (well in July!!).

Also had lots of lovely stash delivered this week, am still waiting on one delivery, but t is coming from the US, so might take a we while. Plus got some yummy Liz Earle goodies (I forgot there was a TSV on QVC recently, dooh, but her website is fantastic!), as this weather had really dried out my skin, so it needed a bit of pampering. I LOVE Liz, have been using her stuff since 1996, it is fantastic, in my opinion the best skincare around...... am currently addicted to Superbalm ..... if you sit still long enough I will slap some on you!

Right, better move my but!
Enjoy your day!

Cyber cropping .....

Woo hooo, cyber crop time is nearly here ... I am trying to tidy my desk in preparation, (you know, all those little bits that just linger around the desk... The odd ink pad, spool of dmc thread, a few random brads, empty herma .. you get the picture!) and trying to remember how many CC's I have done now... think this might be my 8th jowzer!

I have to say the Alice in Wonderland was my favourite so far .... many a delirious giggle explosion out of sheer exhaustion and manic scrapping in an attempt to get classes and challenges finished and uploaded by the deadline ....

I did 3 LOs yesterday ..... so am hoping this continues and I can get lots done over the weekend. E goes away with his dad tonight ... so I can relax and scrap in peace!

Im wating on 4 stash deliveries .. hee hee, hope they come today!!

Right, better get on with tidying up!
Have a great CC

Snow .....what?!

The snow came and went.... alas no snowman for Ethan and I, although we are going up to my Nanny's soon, so maybe we might get some up there.

I am feeling better .. still tinges of a sore throat, but no where as near as painful as before. Thank goodness!

My naughty little friend has made me buy a zillion different colours of magic mesh ..... and then informed me that a favourite on-line store of ours is having a closing down sale, so obviously I had to investigate .......... oh dear! Anyway, some loveliness is winging its way to me.... yum!

Voting for round 3 of The Scrapbook Apprentice is up, so please pop on over and vote for your favourite. I was very surprised this months, as the apprentice to go was someones whos work I really, really admire, she is amazing!

I had my little friend Struan yesterday... he is hilarious .. and very astute. Some of the things he comes out with are so funny!

Right, I had better shift my behind as I'm meeting a friend for lunch and then hoping to fit in a quick fix of The Tudors as series 2 arrived today ........ mmmmmmmmm Jonathan ........!

Have a great day!

A New Crush ....

I have spent the entire day watching the first series of The Tudors and scrapping ... what more could a girl ask for? I am now totally in love with Henry VIII (well Jonathan Rhys Meyers to be more exact ... yum, yum, yum!).

I finished the (final) touches to my SA challenge 4 submission and then did this one of Ethan when he was 9 months old, crawling around Nanny's garden and eating everything in sight ... mud, grass, flowers .. worms! Please excuse the poor light! I had a look through some of his baby pic's yesterday and have looked out a pile to scrap .. I forgot how absolutely gorgeous my little baby was!!

I am just about to start another LO and do some more chilling, alas that is it with Jonathan for the night .. I will just have to wait for series 2 Dvds to arrive next week!

Have a great evening!

Piglets sure do hurt......

I am just finishing my second LOs for the 4th SA challenge, before I head up to collect Ethan from nursery. Then go to Asda to do the big mammoth monthly shop .. oh joy ... I am still feeling really ill, so the prospect of this isn't filling me with excitement!

Hey hoo, needs must... I will soldier on, lol! I have lots of yummy stash coming..... plus a few bits ordered today .... so that will help the sore throat, hee hee! I've got a Dr's appointment tomorrow, so I will be fine. Something about being ill has really helped my mojo ... or maybe it is just the inspiration from this lovely lady ... have you seen her last 2 LOs.. absolutely STUNNING!

I have been doing quite a lot of LOs about me recently ... v odd, anyway, here is one I finished the other day with photos from my 30th birthday meal ..... many years ago ha ha!! I have also just booked my flights and hotel to go down to Birmingham in April to finish my dance and drama training, for my next class ..... another step towards baby-class-related-world-domination, yay!! Better get my finger out and start marketing them, eh!?

Ohhh top tip, I bought some front opening Really Useful boxes the other day, fanbloodytstic invention ... especially if you have them piled Pisa like, like me!

Anyhoo, need to crack on. Got to tidy up Ethan's farm as I keep standing on the tiny piglets and boy do they smart!

Bad influence

..... yes you know who you are ... and obviously i am taking no responsibility for my actions .. hee hee .. but oops I have just bought 8 kinds of pom-pom trim and another 6 packets of mini doodlebug rub-ons, well I didn't have the brown, so obviously needed more than one pack and the rest just 'fell' in, lol!

I think I had better step away from my laptop .......

Tagged.... and ill

Oft ..... I can hardly swallow.. am in bed feeling sorry for myself! I have a v sore throat and feel achy all over. But thankfully I have some high strength paracetamol left over from when I was ill in the summer, and when they kick in, they work a treat!

I have also been tagged by Beckie, thanks hun, v funny and interesting tag! You have to post the 6th photo, from the 6th folder on your pc/laptop!

Hee hee, this could of been very funny, as the 6th folder is my photos from my holiday in Petra with Jo in September last year. Anyway, the 6th picture is of me and my friend Panayoits (he is a semi famous Greek footballer don't you know, lol!). So here it is....
And in return I am tagging;

Right, I'm off to get another Lemsip ....
