LegoLand Finally

Well after all that rain on Sunday we decided not to go to Legoland but find a nicer day to go, so Tuesday came the forecast was wet in the morning but much better in the afternoon, so wee took the bull by the horns and went for it. I'm so glad we did it was fantastic Austin didn't know which bit to do first. I was a great day out I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I had some really exciting news from a friend who I haven't seen in a while, but still remains a very special friend, well, Jo's pregnant, and I can't be morepleased for her, I know it's something she has wanted for a long time, but now she's met the right man who will look after her and her little bean. Things are looking up now honey xx

more exciting news is that my friend Helen is launching her new photography venture, Her photographs are stunning, as you can see by my previous posts, so please keep your fingers crossed for that one too.

Well that's enough of me rambling on, catch you all soon xxx

He's 6 Now and Very Proud Of It


WOW, I can't believe it, Where does time go!!!!! Well, he had a wonderful birthday with lots of lovely presents and lots of pennies. We had planned to go to Legoland, but the weather on Sunday was awful, so we have postponed it till a nicer day. But we went to my auntie Janets, they have a beautiful house in Weyhbridge, where Austin is thoroughly spoilt and loves to go!! We also went to see my Grandma, it was the first time the doctors had given her the all clear to see Edward so that we very special, although at times we had to remind her who he was, she was very excited to see him. Bless her, she's not bad for 93.
Well Austin now has the longest to wait for his next birthday, although he's already planning it LOL.

Look What I Can Do


Here the latest picture of Edward, now he can roll over, and get his head up, just too cute!!!!

Well it's been really busy here, Des has been away to Spain supposedly for work, but we all know he just loves a good old jolly!! Mean while I've been here chasing my own tail!!!
Austin's been having a few problems at school, I think he's just not coping well with the change from Reception to Y1 and all the play element has gone. He's now started to get into mischief and play up, The other thing that doesn't help is that he's a kenasthetic (not sure how you spell that) learner which means he learns through doing things and finds it very hard to just sit and listen, he has to fiddle with something, Which really irritates his teacher, but in my opinion she should know how to deal with this. But hopefully with lots of praise for the good things he does we are starting to turn a corner.
OK, Shall I get down off my soapbox now......
The good news is that I have been chosen to be part of a design team, Yes it's my scrapping again, but I'm so chuffed that someone thought that my work was good enough to be shown in their shop and website. So thank you very much to Ness at CraftyNess, hopefully, you'll see some of my work there soon.
The other good news I have is that my friends shop www.alteredtreasures.com is going an absolute storm, I have been busily helping her with all kinds of bits and bobs, the most exciting bit was the launch of the new altering kit and the scrapbooking kit, they are both so yummy I want them LOL.

Ok so I have been Tagged by Helen, the rules are to write 5 wired things about yourself or your pets and then tag 5 other people, so here it goes...
1. When I'm out walking with either my pram or someone who has a baby in a pram I have to be pushing it, I think it's a control thing.
2. Our dog Delilah, is just weird!!!!!
3. I have brought some beautiful Scrapping paper that I just can't bring myself to use, I know many other scrappers fell the same, but I just look at it and it's so lovely I just can't bring myself to cut it, or do anything to it.
4. Socks, Have to go on perfectly, the line has to be in exactly the right place, I'm afraid this one has rubbed off onto Austin too, still at the aged of nearly 6 I have to put his socks on because he always does it wrong and gets into a strop!!
5. My home looks like a bombsite, but when I was managing the nursery, my office was always immaculate.
So there you go 5 weird things about me, so I'm going to tag BOB from Little Cottage Crafts, Verdi From Little Cottage Crafts, and my team mate from UKS Suzie, sorry I don't know 5 ppl who blog.

There Helen that should have given you something to read.....
