June Challenge LO

This challenge was set by my buddy Sue-Bubbles http://www.sue-bubbles.blogspot.com/.

Who asked us to use the theme 'Now & Then'.

I used a picture of my DS aged 5 and my DD aged 2 weeks for my 'then' picture and then used photos of my children taken in the past year.

They have really grown-up! and boy do I feel old!!!

Thanks for stopping by and any comments that you make

I've been a very bad blogger recently

Oh My, Ive not posted on here for ages.

Due to many things, I've been very lax in my blogging lately, but now I'm feeling better I thought I'd just update my little space here.

After spending nearly 5 weeks sleeping constantly and then still feeling tired when I wake up I sort of feel almost human again.

I've managed in the past 3 days to make 2 LO's from our day out at LegoLand last September - to celebrate Reece's 5th Birthday.

I've tried to post them onto my Docrafts gallery but it doesn't like me much and I can't put anything into my gallery

I had a huge reel of green ribbon that I wanted to use some of so I criss-crossed the page with it, I used our tickets from the day as part of the LO and the picture is of the 3 boys being measured to get in.

 

   

For this LO I used my Kars template, I've had it for ages but I still can't seem to get it just right. Still this attempt is better than the last time I used it.

An Award From Maria

Thank you Maria for my award, I think it has finally been round in a circle. I originally gave this to Alma when she first began her blog. I think this one could rest for a while now so I won't pass it on but will list my 3 things I'd never do.

1. I'll never ever learn to drive - too many loonies on the road.
2. I'd never knowingly hurt those close to me.
3. I'd never ever spend a ridiculous amount of money on a handbag

Saturday 20th February 2010

Today I have done a tiny amount of crafting, lots of sitting and a little bit of cuddling with youngest grandson.
He wanted to stay here when the others went to football to watch Swindon Town. He made a birthday card for their mum and then I needed to rest my hands again. We're just watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and soon the others will be home.

My new blog award

My new blog from Valerie  http://bastelmania-craftattack.blogspot.com/ was a real surprise.

I've had a busy and fairly tough few days, I have so much to do but my hands are so painful that I can't really do anything, so I popped onto Docrafts for a chat and found a lovely message from Valerie.

I have to list 10 things that make me happy and pass it onto 5 people. So here goes:

1. My grandchildren.

2. My children.

3. My Husband.

4. Crafting.

5. Formula 1.

6. Moto GP.

7. Listening to the rain outside knowing I don't have to go out in it.

8. Eating chocolate.

9. Going on holiday.

10. Watching House with my son - we both 'get' the humour

These are not necessarily in the order they are listed. I am thinking of the 5 recipients and will update with their names after a chocolate eclair and a cup of tea.

Ok, I am awarding the award to the following people:

Jackie - http://jackieworcs.blogspot.com/
Gina - http://southlea.blogspot.com/

Suzie Boo -http://suzieboocrafts.blogspot.com/

Hannah - http://louieedwards.blogspot.com/

February Calendar Page

Well I've finally worked out what I wanted to do for my Challenge page this month.
Tania set us the task of 'Roman Love'.
Here are my Roman Loves, I know the heads are a bit out of proportion but it's something I can redo when I get some spare time.
Thanks for stoppinng by 

My Roman Darlings who hold the keys to my heart.

Sunday 31st January 2010

Ok where has the month gone?
Who stole all the days?
I can't believe it's almost February, well today was another stunning display of football from the little lads.
H was in goal in the first half, as our regular goalie is still poorly. H kept a clean sheet during his half and made some fantastic saves, although his new socks were filthy within minutes of getting there!
He swapped with another player for the 2nd half, the other team scored 2 goals, then our goalie went down in a nasty crunching tackle. Luckily he's ok, feel better soon Lewis xxx
We swapped another player into goal for the last few minutes and they scored again but we kept on playing well and scored again to make the final score 6-3.
I'm still frozen to the core but slowly beginning to defrost, if only OH could leave the door closed!
Well I'd better make an offer to help cooking dinner although OH does a great job of it :)
