Woooosh - where did the week go???

I just cannot believe how fast the days are flying by!

Had a nice surprsie visit from Granny & Grandad this weekend - girls were spoilt rotten (again) and it was great to see them!

Missing my scrap-buddy Karen - she is off to the Trade Fair - can't wait to hear about all the new goodies she'll be ordering for the shop!

Been a bit lazy on the crafting side! Made a slide mailer for Addy as a Velntines gift - quite pleased with it!

Having another clear out to fund my field trip to Holland in May for Scrap-A-Ganza!! Ooooh - so excited about that! www.scrap-a-ganza.com

How many more sleeps?????

budding baby artiste !

Freya is into EVERYTHING!! Just like her big sisiter she loves all things crafty & messy! She has developed a passion for hats - and wears this one all the time! Doesn't she look like a proper artiste!!!!

Wonder how old uou have to be to join the junior scrappers!!??!!

Crop 'til you Drop!!!!

Had a great time at the PaperCrafts Crop today!!

Was like an excited child last night - could hardly get to sleep! I was baking Fairy Cakes at 2am!

Anyway - did this LO using my lovely BG Blitzen (thank you Viv!!!) with a photo of Annemiek from Christmas 2003 - just look at the concentration on her face!!


Karen doesn't know it but I got lots of photo's of her scrapping away - deep in concentration!!! Will get them uploaded later! Hee Hee!!

So - thanks to all the girls! Had a fabby time......can't wait for next month!!!

Junkitz Love.....

Ooooooh - got some of these papers today - sent up from a fab friend of mine down South!! I bought them with the intention of making kits to try & sell on e-bay. Ordered enough for 4 kits but somehow I have only managed to list two!!! The papers are sooo yummy scrummy - just had to keep some for meeeeee!

Anyways - first step towards trying to fund my obsessive scrapbooking hobby - Valentine Paper Bag Book for sale on e-bay!!

Might just make up my own page pack for taking to the Paper Crafts Crop on Sunday!

It's February!!!

Can hardly believe that it is February already!! Must get making some valentines card for my stand at the shop!!

Busy week again - it is the PaperCrafts Crop on Sunday, and maybe next week I will get down to see the new shop in Perth for some Retail THERAPY!!!!

Still no sign of snow.....in fact - it really does feel like Spring is just around the corner! Speaking of Spring - that was my theme for the ATDML Design Team Competition.....closing day was yesterday - so who knows?! Just imagine - free stash and discount at that lovely online store www.atripdownmemorylane.co.uk !! Thats the stuff dreams are made of!!

Happy Birthday Robbie Burns!!!

Well - it's Burn's Night here in Scotland! DD1 Annemiek is off to playgroup with an "altered" kilt!! A charity shop find - to fit a ten year old!!! Everyone was asked to wear something tartan today so she'll be strutting her stuff! Complete with red curly wig!!!!!

And of course it will be haggis neeps & tatties for Dinner tonight! Yummy!

Got a stack of clipboards to sort through today and get ready for posting for my UKS Altered Clipboard Swap! And then the usual hopes & dreams of a LO or a card or two?!?!.......

My Little Chef-ette!!!

My eldest daughter Annemiek (pron anna-meek) just loves to bake! Daddy is a chef of course but I must say I am the one that rolls up my sleeves!

Very seldom does a day go by when we don't bake something!! We always like to have "MESSY-TIME!!!!" From cheese scones to fairy cakes! Well - today she got out her Fairy CookBook and decided she wanted to make a Princess Castle!

About an hour (and a lot of mess!) later here was the result!! How proud is she!!!!
(and in case your wondering why she is only wearing a vest & tights....yes she got covered in flour!!!!

Monday...Monday....

Another week! But at least we're getting closer to pay day! Don't you just LOVE January(NOT!!)

Must set myself some targets......a couple of card orders to fill, a few CJ's to get done and might even get something on my web page by the end of the week!

Hoping to get a cheque in the post (anyday now!) for my first ever piece of published work...which, of course, I must share with you all! I have spent this money ten times over in my imagination and still not come to a firm decision! So tell me - if you had £60 - what would you buy?!

newbie blogger!!!

Well – here I am – with my very own blog!!!

Had better start making my life a bit more interesting!

Coming soon……tales of a crafter, scrapper and stressed out mother of two, trying to make some pocket money out of her hobby!
