Butterflies and Bouncers.....

Oh goodness me I've been very bad at updating my blog! Just been sooo busy!

Having lots of fun in the holidays even though the weather has not been so great! Have had rather a few crafty days at home :)

Annemiek has done 4 weeks of intensive swimming lessons and is getting on fantastically :) One more week to go and hoping she will pass and move up to the next group! Just can't belive my baby will be starting school soon! Gulp!

The girls has a great time at Aberlour Games last Saturday :) They both had their faces painted as Butterflies and enjoyed all the fun & activities!

Had a surprise visit from Granny & Grandad late afternoon yesterday.....and lookie lookie....the rain stayed off long enough for Granny to have a shot on the trampoline!!! Hee Hee I'm gonna be in trouble for sharing!!!!!!

Back later with some more photos of STASH :D

Been a Busy Week :)

As some of you know I was away on a mini adventure this week :) I was asked to visit Bramwell Crafts in Lancashire for an interview and am extremely proud & excited to say I am the new Bramwells Craft Demonstrator for the North of Scotland!

I am so excited - they are a lovely family run company and supply craft shops with an array of gorgeous products from ProvoCraft, Hero Arts, Inkadinkado and many others! It's a wonderful opportunity to do what I love and hopefully help inspire others :)

The other highlight of the week were visiting my friend Trish and her lovely family! The kids all had great fun playing together and I wish we could have stayed longer! Just look at them!!!!

I've been tagged...

.....and only just figured out what to do LOL

The lovely Trish has tagged me with a ROCKIN' GIRL BLOGGER AWARD!


And now I need to tag 5 others.....hmmmmm no house work getting done today then !! Hee Hee! I shall tag........

Got some exciting news too........watch this space :)

Schools Out For Summer.....

.....well actually they came off last week but we have been sooooo busy!!

Annemiek is having swimming lessons every day.....and doing really well. But oh my that half hour lesson really turns the day upside down!!!

Here's the wee darling with her teacher gifts....I just cannot believe that's nursery finished and she'll be starting school soon! Time to go show shopping!

Been playing with beads again.....will show & tell at the weekend :)

It's Raining, It's Pouring.....

......this weather is boring me to tears!!!!

Where oh where is the Summer! Have had enough of this weather! The garden is all flooded, I have a tonne of soggy washing......the trampoline is off limits!

Ah well....have treated myself to these lush papers from Funky Kits to transform into mini books for teachers gifts so that will keep me busy :) Annemiek & Freya can help by doing some nice drawings to go inside!

Hope somebody, somewhere has some sunshine!!!!???

Busy Busy Busy....

Having a busy weekend! Which is nice :)

Spent the day up in Aberlour yesterday. The Pantry organised a mini event in the Village Square with some tasters, jams and preserves to buy, tablet, sweeties and a craft stall that had funky knitted scarves. (and yes Annemiek HAD to have one...a big frilly pink hairy thing!) There was also a MacPherson's Lorry set up with its side down to act as a stage for highland dancing, belly dancing, a rock band and ceilidh music. It was a really nice day out and the sun was shining! Lots of fun for all!

Doing some work on the website today - Karen & I had great fun on Friday night picking what yummy srtash to include in the new SUPER FUNKY KIT which should go live by the end of the day!!

A rather long photo to share......a mini book made using beer mats and the gorgeous Sassy Girl papers from Creative Imaginations. This was part of my DT work for Funky Kits and the papers are all double sided. Erika had the boy version which is also gorgeous with lots of wee trains and boy stuff! They should be available as kits soon :)

All Partied Out!!!

I must be getting old if it takes me DAYS to recover from a party!!!!

The girls had a great time on Saturday.....even though the weather was terrible so our "Garden Party" was held indoors! Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and it really felt like the kind of paties we had when we were kids.....instead of taking the easy (expensive!) option of booking somewhere!

So now I am busy making thank you cards, and am also working on some Design Team work for Funky Kits using the suitably funky "Sassy Girl" papers from Creative Imaginations. I have the PERFECT photo subjects fot these papers!!! Photos coing soon :)

another week.....

...oops a daisy - has it been a whole week since I blogged! Sowwy!!

Had a lovely weekend away in Perth at my Mum & Dad's....was good to have a change of scenery! Then I spent all day monday up to my arms (literally!) in PINK paint....been decorating the girls room for their birthday and it's looking fabby :)

Annemiek turned 5 yesterday.....I just cannot believe my baby is so grown up!

It's all rush rush rush here....trying to get the garden in order for our Party on Saturday too!

Here's a wee photo of the girls doing what they do best......looking adorable!!!!

Bag Lady!!!

Inspired by the doodling class I did at Scrap-a-Ganza and also my friend Trish's project over on It's a Creative World I decided to combine the two to make my very own eco-friendly carrier bag! I am rather pleased with the results and you may just see this available as a kit soon on Funky Kits so you can have some fun & do your bit for the environment! (and it takes 12x12 perfectly so would be ideal for stash shopping or taking to crops!!!!)

birthday babe :)

This last week has just woooooshed by! Still got a box full of Scrap-a-Ganza Projects to be finished off! Just not enough hours in the day!

My Baby is growing up fast! Freya had her 3rd Birthday yesterday....and only another 8 sleeps until Annemiek is 5! We had a lovely day yesterday and she enjoyed her fist session at Playgroup....and had Laura round later to play & eat cake!

Getting very busy over on Funky Kits....lots of lovely new stash arriving all the time! The new Hampton Arts Stamps are gorgeous and I sooooo want to treat myself but must resist as many are down to only one remaining already! I'll get first picking of the next order though!

Heading down to Perth this weekend - better get busy making things for Father's Day too!!

All Scrapped Out!!!!

I am still trying to catch up with myself!!

Had a busy busy weekend in Holland at Scrap-a-Ganza! Did a lot of lovely classes and now have lots of projects to finish off! Was also lovely to meet up with all the other lovely Scottish Scrappers....and the English...and the Dutch! LOL! Best of all I got to meet up with Alinde & Oma and the absolutely gorgeous baby Chiem! Oooooh he is just adorable!

Having a busy week catching up with the HW and Funky Kits but still had a wee play with some pretty paper! The Primavera papers from Paper Adventures are just so nice to work with! And fantastic quality too! Made a pretty card and covered a band-aid tin then made a mini book from beer mats to fit inside. Me likes :) Some of these papers are included in this months "Super Funky Kit" over at www.funkykits.co.uk - not many left now!

If you are on the look out for inspiration please check out http://itsacreativeworld.blogspot.com/ my lovely friend Trish is on the design team - along with some other superbly talented crafty girlies and it looks fab :)

We are heading off to Ikea tomorrow so away to browse the catalogue and make a wish-list!!!!

Making Plans.......

....to flee the country! Yaaaaay!

Only 2 sleeps until I go to Holland! Oooh I can hardly wait!

Finally did my planner - bit of a rush job but I rather like it :) Used Dutch Girl papers by Cosmo Cricket.....seemed appropriate! (sorry about the naff photo....it's getting dark!)

Better get back to the packing, washing, ironing nonsense!!!!

Angelic on a Sunday.......?

Well not really as they have been up since the crack of dawn and up to all sorts of naughtyness! LOL

But they did play nice for mummy to take some cute photos!

Been playing about with layers, colours & curves.....not quite got the hang of it but rather pleased with the results! One of these days I will get to grips with photoshop!

Nothing crafty so far today.....but Ads is home tonight so there is hope! Watch this space LOL

Spring Cleaning....

Busy Busy Busy getting all nice and super tidy before I abandon my family and head to Holland next week! Yaaaaaay a whole weekend of scrapping fun!!!!

Better crack on!!!

Thursday....

Had a very long day yesterday - all the way down to Perth for the Funeral then back home again. Addy was a star for driving me all that way, bless him!

It was a nice service, and Auntie Daisy had a good turn-out. It was lovely to see My Auntie Hazel, and my Gran and a few other faces that I've not seen for a long time. Always a shame that it is under sad circumstances though.

Had a better sleep last night, still feel a bit yeeuucchh but it is time to pick myself up and move on again. And just look what my sister in law sent to cheer me up - look at Chiem - isn't he just a cherub! I am hoping to get a cuddle with that little bundle of love when I am in Holland next week :)

No nursery today or tomorrow so no doubt I will have a house full....or should that be trampoline full of the local kids :) Aaaah I love it really....and it wears them out!

Got a new book in the post yesterday all with ideas for mini books.....so I plan to sit down later and get creative.....it's long overdue!!!

It's official.....

.....Kids really CAN sleep anywhere!!

How adorable is she? Never mind the drool that is dripping down my sofa! Hee Hee!!!!

Ups and Downs.....

Been a strange few days....lots of mixed emotions!

We spent a lovely day down in Peebles on Friday - was lovely to visit some old friends - especially Val at the Sunflower Restaurant - if antone is ever in Peebles I highly recommend her place! Hmmm - can't seem to add a link but the site is http://www.thesunflower.net/

Came back home to some sad news though - my Auntie Daisy passed away on Thursday evening - she is actually my Dad's Auntie but I always called her Auntie Daisy too :) She was such a character and will be sadly missed. My own wee girl Freya Daisy is named after her.

Two little girls were very VERY lucky this weekend though as Granny & Grandad gave them their Birthday present early.......so they have literally spent the last 48 hours bouncing up & down on their new trampoline!! Photo's to follow!!!

Back to Earth with a bump on Saturday with a Class at the Paper Crafts Studio - had to do a last minute change as the Maya Road delivery didn't make it in time! Eeeek! But we decorated a 7Gypsies Mini Purse with the lush lush Anthologie papers and every one was happy :)

Just had a lazy day yesterday - caught up on the house work and been busy baking today!

Annemiek is away to nursery looking like an absolute vision in pink......just look at her!!!!

Sugar Plum Fairies......

We had a fun time on Sunday at the car boot sale! Annemiek managed to turn on her charm and got a leaotard set with skirt for £2....and also a video "how to be a Ballerina" which came with a litte pink tutu for 50p........only problem I have now is getting them to take them off!!!!!!!!! But you have to agree - they are adorable!

Happy Birthday Alison!

Happy Birthday to my Water Lily friend Alison!!

Your pressie and card were posted yesterday - just hope Royal Mail have done their stuff!

Will buy you a wee drinkie in Holland!

xxxx

anyone for pizza?............

Hello :)

Been a busy busy girlie since the Funky Kits Website opened on Wednesday! The lady in the local post office says I am her new best friend!

Managed to escape for a few hours today up to the studio in Elgin. Karen had a demonstrator in from Do Crafts which seemed to be very popular - I had lots of fun helping out on the till. Back home now and feeling geared up to do some crafting of my own! Need to get the wee monkeys in bed first!

Funky Funky Funky!!!!

Only a matter of hours until the new Funky Kits Website goes LIVE!!!

We've all been working hard to put together some lush lush kits (Karen has really pulled out all the stops!) and I'm ready with my pizza boxes to get packing!

In the meantime here's a sneaky peek! :)

May Madness

Wooosh - there goes another week almost!

Had a rather rushed weekend - down to Glasgow for a Chef Awards Dinner on Sunday night, stayed the night in the luxurious Radisson Hotel :)

Back home yesterday to collect 2 hyper little girls who had a great time with Grammy & Grandad!

All systems go now for the new Funky Kits website....going LIVE on Thursday! Need to start thinking ahead for some future kits.....me likes window shopping!

Got to get my card stand filled up in the local shop.....then teach my Class at the Studio on the 20th then I can start to look forward to my own personal crafty indulgence....my upcoming trip to Holland for Scrap-a-Ganza! Yaaaaaaaaay!

No photos to share today......but I might get a chance to play with some pretty paper later & try out some new ideas!

Picnic Time!!!!

We had a lovely picnic in the park yesterday but oh my it was soooooo hot! The girls were very good at keeping their hats on though! Plus they looked super-cool! Thankfully it is a lot cooler today so the sunscreen is back in the cupboard :)

Had a bizarre propsosition yesterday! We go to a coffee shop in Aberlour quite often...especially when I have nearly 3 hours to kill....and the Chef, James, is a really nice guy. Well.....I think he may be under some strange illusion that because Addy is a chef that I must be able to cook too and has asked if I would like to work one day a week to come in and do all his baking!!! How mad is that!! I told him that I doubted I was anywhere near coffee shop material (more botched fairy cakes with the kids!) but he must be really desparate! I have to make a few samples to hand in so we will see how it goes! Who knows - it could be the start of something good! And heaven knows the extra cash would be handy!! So I am away in search of yummy traybakes & cakes!!!!

Beach & Beads!!!

How fantastic is this weather!!!!! Let's hope this is the start of Summer!

Been busy again getting some more kits put together for the new Funky Kits Website - and here is a sneaky peek of one of the jewellery kits - I am in love with this pendant I made the other day!

Been up to the beach at Hopeman a few times this last week - the girls just love it......and we saw a Baby Star Fish - they were mesmerised!

Just about to go pack up a picnic and walk up the Speyside Way to Aberlour as both girls have 2's Group / Nursery today - better pack a good book for me too !

Art Dolls......

Okay Okay.....I suppose I will have to show you them LOL

These were made quickly.....in the class they had the options to add gems and beads etc but these were really just made up to demonstrate the 3 types of ink that were on offer!!

Having said that these wee dollies are highly addictive! I have already ordered a set of doll face stamps and some yummy collage sheets with crowns and the likes :)

Shattered......

.....is a word to describe how I feel! But elated at the same time!

Spent a fantastic day with everyone at The Funky Kits Aberdeen Event. All the classes went really well....even the wacky Art Doll class!!!!

Am away for a hot bath and an early night....to make up for the last few sleepless ones I've had! LOL! But before I do here is a wee peek at my mini-book class! We used the gorgeously sophisticated "Princess Bride" papers from Rusty Pickle to decorate a 7Gypsies purse & book kit and used lots of custom cut scallop borders and flowers and stamping and even a wee bit of sewing!!!

Will show of some more classes tomorrow but for now I am struggling to keep my eyes open!

Night Night xxx

so little time......

Well April has just been manic!

Bad start to the month with being unwell :( Took 2 big doses of steroids & Anti-Biotics to get me back on my feet again! Thank goodness for modern medicine!

Then we had a fun filled couple of weeks in the Easter Holidays! Unfortunately Ads didn't really get any time off so it was mostly just the girlies but we had fun :) We did have a visit from Granny & Grandad, which always goes down well!

Also been really busy getting all my classes designed and organised! I am teaching 2 classes at The Funky Kits All Day Event in Aberdeen tomorrow. A Mini Book Class (which is divine!!) and an Altered Art Class (Which is totally wacky & fun!!) Will share some photo's over the next few days once it's all over!

I can give you a sneaky peek of the Class I am doing in May at the Studio in Elgin. We will be decorating a Maya Road Coffee Break Tin & Book on a friendship theme using lush 3 Bugs in a Rug papers :) Love this project!

Next exciting thing is the new Funky Kits Website that should be going live in the next couple of weeks. Karen has been working really hard making up kits and I've done a few jewellery kits which I hope people will like!

Got to go....Fairy Cake session beckons!!!

..........catching up....

Oh dear - not been up to blogging :( Have had a nasty cold/chest infection that just wont shift!

Sorry - hope to be better soon!

and some more buttons.....

here is my other button layout.....again Freya looking very persuasive!! How could you resist that wee face!?

This was done for a crop challenge.....had to create a layout using acrylic paint :) I stamped the flowers using MM foam stamps.....yes I know they look like hair slides!!

I was delighted to win a prize for this one! A new set of foam alphabet stamps.....better look out those paints again!!

buttons buttons.....

Isn't it funny how we go through phases of what we use on our layouts!?

I am having a button phase at the moment! Have done 2 layouts over the weekend...both with buttons!

This one is of Freya when you was just 6 weeks old - look at my wee cutie pie.....oh she is just growing up way too fast!!

Have plans to make an extra special baby welcome card for my sister in law today.....hhhmmmm using up lovely baby stash....I'll be in heaven!!!!!

Well March has arrived! And so has my baby nephew! Finally!

Alinde had a beautiful baby boy on Sunday - look at him - can you not just smell that adorable cute babyness :) His name is Chiem - a traditional dutch name - and mother & baby are both well! I so wish I was there to have a wee cuddle but shall have to wait a few more months!

Another new start yesterday for Addy in his new job as Head Chef at Muckrach Hotel. He is really excited about his new venture and we are delighted that he is back to his usual self....and he gets to come home at night time Yaaaay!

Been a busy girlie making Mothers Day Cards for the wee local shop - and hoping I can get up to the Paper Crafts studio as the deliveries have started to arrive....yaaaaaaay new yummy stash to play with!!!!!

Never Smile at a Crocodile!!!

Just had to share this photo of Freya! The girls both got to choose a fancy dress outfit as a special treat.....now there was Snow White, Tinkerbell, Slepping Beauty...Little Mermaid....Princess Jasmine....all sorts of pretty flouncy fluffy affairs.....which one did Freya choose?......the Crocodile! LOL but she is simply adorable in it!!!! Annemiek chose a Princess one (of course!!!) Shall show you that one tomorrow!

Been a quiet few days - I have a nasty throat infection that is causing greif but managed to get some tablets yesterday from the doctors so hoping that will clear up soon!

Looking forward to some cropping time this weekend.....have to do a pre-crop challenge.....using acrylic paints :) That's gonna be fun!!!!!

Friday already!!!!??!!!

Where did the week go!?

Not been as good a week as we had hoped - things didn't go se well for Addy yesterday but hey ho - it's the taking part that counts!

Had a lovely day today with Addy's new employers & their kids :) they are so geared up for their new venture and full of enthusiasim - as is Addy :)

Just getting robo to cut a few baby face die cuts to use in tomorrow's class - got 8 booked so ooooh feeling excited about that! Hope everyone enjoys it! Here is what we're all making.......-->>>

Still no baby news from Holland - my sister in law was due on the 15th February.....I can't wait to be an Auntie :)

Sunday Sunday.......

.....but NOT a lazy day!!!

Spent all day yesterday moving my craft room to the back bedroom and now have stuff ALL over the house!

Ads put up my new bookcase and it is looking grand filled with lovely stash! But we still need to paint the front room then move in the girls beds and sort out the wardrobes for them. I really should not go to Ikea - it always fills my head with fancy ideas of what to do to my house hee hee!

Addy & Annemiek are away to the car boot sale with half the contents of the garage so hope they come home with pockets of cash!

Got a good week ahead I reckon.....Ads has a very important cookery demo this week.....he is making pancakes with the wee ones at Nursery on Tuesday!!!......then he is cooking in the finals of the Spirit of Speyside competition on Thursday.....then I have my Toppers & Mini Book Class on Saturday. Busy Busy Busy!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Today is Valentine's Day.....and a lot of buzz & excitement in this house!

Annemiek is away to nursery with 5 Valentine Cards!! We made them together.....but 3 are for girlie friends & 2 are for the teachers! LOL None for the stinky boys!!!

Addy is cooking at 3pm as a second interview and we are keeping everything crossed that he has a lovely new job at the end of the day!

I am also trying to recreate a fantsastic dish that my Dad made at the weekend....Chicken stuffed with haggis, timbale of neeps & tatties and laced with a whisky sauce :) Just waiting to get the professional chef out the door so I can start creating a masterpiece!!

Pausing for breath....

Ooops - not blogged for a few days! Poor Freya has been quite bad with her chicken spots but thankfully they have all gone crusty (nice!) so we are well on the road to recovery! She maybe had triple the amount of spots then her big sister but they have gone a lot fast too :)

We are enjoying having Daddy at home for a few days - it's just a shame we are still a bit house-bound - maybe later in the week we can have a day away together!

Need to get busy making a new batch of cards for the local shop so that will keep me out of mischeif!

Got a bargain pair of second-hand ski boots for Annemiek which arrived today.....but all the snow has melted....much to Addy's digust! So we are all doing the snow dance hoping for some more!

Right - Ads away shopping so I had better crack on with a "secret mission" for tomorrow! :)

Snow Much Fun!!!!

All starting to feel a bit stir crazy so got wrapped up to go out & play in the snow! Had fun with our own mini-ski-slope in the garden!

Well - thats us made it half way through the day :) Some lunch to do....then maybe some baking......is it nearly bed time yet!!??

Chicken Spots.......the sequel!

Ah well.....it was almost too good to be true! Just when we thought the nightmare was over Freya decided to join the Chicken Club too! Poor wee soul has been burning up all night and has a nice wee crop of spots on her tummy and legs. She is very up & down and during her Calpol "highs" she is dancing about singing about her spots....so far she can still count them all LOL!

Annemiek is a bit disgruntled that her limelight has been stolen! Shall be a very interesting day methinks! Lot's of reasoning, cuddles & possibly some bribery too!

Woke up this morning to a couple of inches of snow and it's still falling! Looks all pretty & white!

Doubt very much I'll get any crafting done today......unless it involves toilet rolls, empty cereal boxes, glitter & glue!!!!!!!!

Last one of the day........

......maybe!!?!! Had fun doing these cute Easter Toppers! Had some AMM papers that were perfect so drew myself a template similar to the stickers that AMM do.....but these little cuties are real 3D and all inky too! Perhaps I'll stop for now and see that someone actually want to buy them LOL! Then again....I did find some Doodlebug Easter paper.........hmmmmmm!!!!

Toppers Toppers...

Oh my goodness I cannot stop! I have a topper addiction! Here's a couple more I have done....how much do I love my craft robo!? Have cut out some chicks & bunnies so hoping to get some Easter ones done later! :)

It's snowing!!!!!

And not just a wee bit! Great big huge fluffy gigantic flakes! Girls have already been out to play...then had to have a bath to warm up again! Having some nice quiet time playing with puzzles.....I fel some more toppers in the making LOL!

The Chicken spots are almost gone but staying home one more day to be on the safe side.....plus given the weather we don't fancy the trek up to Aberlour!!!!!

Sunday Sunday...

Been rather a nice day today :) Very chilled out! Girls were so well bahved today - we baked cakes and they even let me have some mummy-time to make a few toppers whilst happily drawing (even if it was with my good marvy pens!!!!! Wait & see tomorrow they will be monsters!

Managed to get a quick visit up to Elgin to drop of my class projects...hope a few more people book now they see what they are making :) Was nice to catch up quickly with the girls and have adult conversation!!

Anyway - just finished off the toppers to go on e-bay tomorrow - here they are!

Woops!

Well - that wasn't such a great start to the New Year was it!!!!

But it can only get better! We have made a decision to stay in Craigellachie! Yaaaaay! Addy has told his boss of his plans to leave and is currently in the interview progress for 2 jobs that are fairly local! I am realy pleased that we are staying - it is lovely here and the school is great. Oh crickey I can't believe that my baby will be starting school this year!

Have had a bad couple of weeks - poor Annemiek has had Chicken Spots and has really suffered badly with them :( She is on the mend but we are just waiting for wee sisiter to follow suit!

Had a lovely crafting day to myself on Wednesday - was busy playing with pretty papers making toppers & a cute paper bag book for my next class at the Paper Crafts Studio (yyyaaaay got my teaching jon back again :)) There are some sneaky peek photos on the website. I think this will be a fab class and hope everyone enjoys it as much as I did designing it!!!!

Okay - better go for now......will try & make it back soon!! :P

It's the return of the blog.......

Wooops - a - daisy! Not been blogging for a while!

The last couple of months have been pretty awful but with 2007 just a sleep away I have decided to kick-start myself into action!

Still house-hunting......still jobless......still overweight! But hey - it can only get better!!!!

2007 here I come!!!!!!

Please have a look.....

Not sure if anyone actually reads my blog!!?? But if you do please have a look at this link!!!

http://photo-pops.blogspot.com/

Anita is super talented and this is just such a great thing she is doing!

Oh my goodness - I am so embarrased! It's been months since I blogged!

In my defence - my life has been turned upside down!!

The Craigellachie hotel was taken over by Swallow Hotel Group....a recipe for disaster :( What was once a luxurious small country hotel has been trampled into a glorified Travel Lodge. And Addy couldn't bear to see all his hard work go down the drain.

So - it was time to move on. He is now Chef Manager at The Cock & Bull Restaurant in Balmedie. He has been there for a month now and is enjoying the challenge! Finding a new house has been a bit more difficult than anticipated so he is staying over there most of the week and home on his days off.

Because of all this I have had to give up my wee part time job :( and even my teaching at the Paper Crafts Studio has been impossible this month. Surely it can only get better?

Anyway - enough rambling!

Must try & keep the blog updated - but in the meantime let me share a photo with you.......Annemiek & Freya had lots of fun playing hairdressers last week.....I think you will agree Barbie came of the worst!!!!!

All Scrapped Out.....

Just had the BEST weekend!

Was at Scrap-A-Ganza in Holland! Ooooooooh - so much fun, classes & stash!

Also managed to meet up with Oma & SIL Alinde! :)

I must get this blog updated.....but I must also sleep!

A busy week again with my first class at The Papercrafts studion on Saturday! Very exciting!!

who knows where the time goes?

I just cannot believe it is May! How is that possible!

Soooooo much is happening! The new Paper Crafts Studio opened and it is just fabby!!! And even more exciting - I am going to be teaching a class!

Getting ready for a busy month! Ads has a Chefs Award Dinner on Sunday and is also through to the finals again for Grampian Chef of the Year in a couple of weeks!

Then, of course, Karen & I are jetting of for a weekend of Scrapbookers heaven at Scrapaganza in Holland ! Can' wait!

Know then - what else - og yes...my little baby freya is in a big bed! Bless her!!
