Oh I am so loving getting back into scrapping. OK it was only about 6 days that I didn't have a chance to scrap but boy it felt such a long time. I guess that definitely means I'm addicted. Yep, definitely! They both have photos from last Sunday, we just seemed to have such a good day. The first has... Read more →

Feeling very tired today, this last week has been a combination of hard work, busy days and lack of sleep - through late nights and the boys waking in the night and early in the mornings. This is what I've been up to... making over 20 doorstops, 7 childrens PVC aprons and 22 cards. My sister had said that she... Read more →

The boys and I were at Mums last week and Jeff had gone to play golf with my Dad. Whilst we were there we heard lots of noise and went to investigate; workmen were resurfacing the road right outside their house. We stood and watched for ages and chatted to a man on a road roller, every time he went... Read more →

Spring cleaning seems to have come late in our house, but seeing as the summer has never quite arrived I figured that's ok! I guess it started when we decided that Callum was old enough to sleep in a big boys bed and not in the cot. That triggered the 'no more babies - so let's sort through ALL the... Read more →

My two boys are so full of character. Matthew loves making silly faces, doing silly walks and putting on silly voices. Callum has a comedy laugh which goes "Ha, ha, haa!", he uses it all the time and he knows we think it's funny! When he is cross he says loudly "Huh!" or "Naughty" and slaps whatever he is near,...

Well it's beginning to feel like a long time ago since we stayed in Northern Ireland. For those that don't know, Jeff is from Bangor in Northern Ireland and his family and friends still live there. We are planning to move there in about a years time, subject to Jeff getting a transfer through work. Keep up the petition Sheila!... Read more →

Before we left for Northern Ireland a couple of weeks ago, I went through my patterned paper scraps and put them into little clear bags by colour - yes I like to be organised! This is working great for me especially when it comes to making cards, I can limit myself pretty much to these scraps and not get overwhelmed... Read more →

Things are getting back on track. Health wise we are over the latest tummy bug and the boys (who have had some kind of foot / skin infection) are definitely getting better too. They have been on anti-biotics to get rid of it and getting them to take the medicine has been a battle, we've had to bribe them with... Read more →

OK, a post just to put you in the picture... Had a really great holiday in Northern Ireland staying with Jeff's parents (thank you for everything - Matthew really wanted to stay longer) and spending time with our lovely friends. Will fill you in with photos etc when I get time... for it has been crazy since we returned on... Read more →
