Still here, still scrapping... just!

Ok so I was a bit hasty in announcing that the tiredness had gone... it's back with a vengeance!!! I am feeling really well (apart from a sore throat that will not shift), but my days are a lot busier now as I have more minded children, so once the evening comes I barely function above a vegetative state. I have been doing bits of scrapping here and there, although I can't share it all with you now as I a) haven't had time to photograph it, and b) have left the camera cable at my mum's and am waiting for her to send it back... once it is in my possession I will get snapping and share some bits with you.

Looking forward to the weekend... well Sunday to be exact. It is the Warrington crop so a full day of chatting, shopping, being looked after and a little bit of scrapping thrown into the mix. At the Cheadle crop a couple of weeks ago I started a second LO, which I did finish later that evening...

I'm sorry... I promise enough of the pregnancy LOs for a while... I don't want to be all, look at me I'm having a baby (hopefully). The next LO I plan to scrap will be of two little plastic men that play a big part of our lives... intrigued??? don't be... unless you too are a star wars fanatic! Loved doing this LO, using bits and bobs of papers, and the gorgeous paper lace from sarahscards, only 2 in stock, so you better be quick if you want some... trust me, it's a must have for your stash collection! And as for thickers... I love them and Sarah has a HEOOOOGE collection, so you could fill your basket up whilst you buy the lace;)

Right off to read bed time stories, then more scrap a doodling... will be back when the camera cable is back (hopefully by the end of the week). But before I go I justwant to share this gorgeous photo of the bear... I just had to capture his ickle pickle freckles... love em!

Woooohoooo!!!

I am very pleased to say that the debilitating tiredness I have been suffering with has finally *touch wood* gone. I feel so much better lately than what I have been, and my mojo is back... the scrapping desk is busy and there are dst backing bits everywhere, much to the annoyance of Rob. I think he quite liked the tidiness of when I was in a scrapping rut! I have been scrapping, but I have been doing stuff for Sarahscards, so I can't share whole LOs yet... but I have also started some work just for me, which once it is finished I will blog. I should also be back to blogging much more frequently as BB has finished... I cannot believe I wasted so many hours of my life watching it just for Rachel to win *rolls eyes* Not that I think there was anything wrong with her, but she was hardly entertaining during the series... Rex got my vote, even if people do see him as a bully.... maybe bullies just like bullies;)Anyway... it's only a short post to share a few sneaks, as I am going to go and play with paper and glue.

To my bestest friend ever... it was great speaking to you tonight, and I am sending BIG FAT hugs to you and yours, can't wait to see you in October xxx

Back with LOs and some news...

Now that the LOs I did as guest DT member for Sarahscards have gone 'live' I can share them with you. The kit was so lush to work with... I will seriously need the papers again. I am really really pleased that Sarah has asked me to be a permanent DT member... how lucky am I?It's been a quiet week in this house... Harry has been at my mum's for the week. They took him to Flamborough for a few days and it sounds as though he has had a whale of a time, but it does sound as though ma and pa are tired!!! Can't think why that would be ;)

Tomorrow we are meeting at meadowhall to get him back, and I can't wait. Miss his chubbly bubbly cheeks and his attitude.

Only one more week of the summer hols left... how did that happen? Another busy week to finish off the break with 6 kiddy winkies in the house at various times during the week... Rob is so glad he goes to work.

The following bit of news was going to be shared with you next week, but after events today I can share now.

This is baby number 3, due on or around the 5th March 2009. Had a bit of a scare this morning which resulted in a trip to the EPU and a scan, which showed the little guy was doing ok, dated at 12+1 and nothing could be seen as to why there had been a bleed. The scan was so clear, and you could see him sucking his thumb, and when he kicked his legs I could feel him too which always a nice feeling. Fingers crossed that all will go smoothly from now on.
So this is why I haven't been blogging regularly or scapping as much.... I have been so wiped out in the evenings that all I've done is veg out in front of the tv!

Back to scrapping:)

I was asked to do some guest DT work for sarahscards, and was sent the most divine kit... seriously seriously gorgeous. So I have been busy, and have to say I am back into a scrapping groove.... woooohooooo!!! Unfortunately I can't share the whole LOs with you just yet, but here are a few sneak peaks.Now the mojo is back I am hoping that I will be back to scrapping fairly regularly... well maybe after Big Brother has finished!!! I know, how sad am I... addicted again *rolls eyes* Maybe next year I will not watch, maybe next year my life will not be taken over with watching a bunch of weirdo wannabees locked in a house.... maybe!!!

Hands up!!!

Ok, I admit it.... I am the worlds worst blogger lately. I am going to make the bestest of efforts from today to start blogging regularly. It has been a busy old time of late here... it was my birthday on the 16th, then we went to Lego land for our holibobs, then ma and pa came to stay as it was Oliver's birthday on the 26th. He had a fab birthday, getting spoilt with lots of PS2 and Wii games, toys and more money than a 5 year old should have!!! he had a joint party with his friend Cormac at Slide and Seek... which with 18 5 year olds was a VERY noisy affair. On Sunday we headed off to Rhyl again for the day, and even though I applied factor 50 every time I slapped it on the kids.... I still got burnt!!! we had a fab day though and at least I look nice and healthy now the redness has gone...LOL!!! I haven't actually got round to getting the photos off the camera and on to the pooter yet so this is going to be a photo less post.

Huge congratulations to sometime cropping friend Helen on the speedy arrival of baby Oliver... cool name;)

If I haven't been to visit blogs recently I apologise... I will get back on the case.

hhhhmmmmm!!!

Ok so I had all yesterday available to scrap, I also had quite a bit of time today for scrapping.... so how many LOs did I get done???

ONE!!!

I have however left all my scrap stuff out so I may get another done tomorrow night... may, or maybe not... we'll see.

Ok so haven't been around again for a while... maybe I should just give up on this blogging milarky! I have already realised that I am winter scrapper, not much gets done in the summer... not that we are having much of a summer!!!

The kids are keeping me busy during the day.... my own and the ones I mind, which means I haven't had a chance to play along with HS:MS. Then to get all my scrap stuff out at night is a pain as I then have to make sure it is all away before I go to bed so that it doesn't get into little hands in the morning.

I do plan to get a serious amount of scrapping done this weekend though... so watch this space ;)

Here are the LOs I did for the guest spot on Sarahscards DT. The kit was so gorgeous to use, and it was fun using papers that I may not have bought thinking they were a bit girly.

On Wednesday night we had a letter pushed through the door for Harry. A few weeks ago there was a fun day at the local park as they shared their plans to develop it into a place for the whole community. There was a balloon race and Harry's balloon won!!! It was found in Leek, Staffordshire so it had travelled a fair distance. He has won a Fitness First goody bag with a months free membership (which Rob will use) swim passes for Tameside pools, and he has to have his photo taken with the manager, the friends of Granada Park committee and the Mayor... scrapping opportunity!!!!

My friend Jen has her 20 week scan today... thinking pink thoughts for you, but more importantly healthy baby thoughts.

Huge hugs to another dear friend... you know who you are.

And by for now from me... I plan to be back with another post over the weekend :)
