3.am @ Peace Haven!

Finally off to bed now! I've laughed so much in the last 60 hours my ribs ache and my throat is sore, my voice is going husky from all the chatter with 8 wonderful ladies who are staying here, the accommodation is a bit smaller than we expected but we put two more tables in to one building and 9 of us scrapped, ate, joked, laughed and cried(with laughter!) We drank to the memory of a dear friend and wished a mum-to-be the best of luck with new beginnings too! As is usual on these weekends away, all I ever managed to scrap is two layouts!! but meeting up and chatting is all part of the recreational activities! Tomorrow we are off to Bee Crafty to have a little spend then lunch at The Thatched Tavern!

So, I'll say goodnight and til the next time...

Sketch and Scrap layout

You Gotta Love Sharpie...
Last week I found my sharpie pen in my handbag! I had yet to use it and Ethan saw me with it and asked what it was! So, me being me I told him it was a moustache maker!

To this comment he asked if he could have one! Well, I try not to deprive my kids of stuff so here he is with said moustache! I must add that when he went to school the next day, He still had a faint trace of moustache about him....





















Thanks for dropping by

Raving Recipes!

Ooh! I didn't realise it has been a fortnight since I blogged! my time has been taken up trying to keep warm in the this freezing weather and pootling about reading and trying to find my mojo!!!

Heather has helped me kick-start it with a recipe tag-book!

















I have done a page each for all the team members of the Rik Rak Ravers who are taking part :-D
I've seen a few of the other recipes on the blogs of Dee and Debbie and I'm looking forward to getting all the pages back too!





















I have also done two more layouts this month but can only show one at the mo! Croc Dodging using the papers that I got from my secret santa again, there was soo much in the parcel, its taking me ages to use it all! lol.

The second one I'll upload tomorrow as its for a challenge set but Jill over on the Sketch and Scratch SG.

Have fun

scrappin' happens...........

The first layout is of Tessa bursting balloons at a friends birthday party in 2003, she had a whale of a time too!





















The second layout is of Alun and Ethan the day Ethan got his new glasses and I realised they both had red t-shirts and blue jeans on as well as dark brown hair and glasses! Ethan has always looked alot like me but as he is getting older he seems to be getting more like his father!





















Thanks for dropping by
Lisa :-D

Yes, I know it's only a table but

it means I can now scrap with more space and not have to keep getting things out and then putting stuff away as soon as I've used it...
So, Thank you Alun for going and getting it for me and putting up with me moaning about not having enough space and getting paint/glue on the floor, bed and on the laptop table.

















Thanks for dropping by from a very happy Lisa :-D

Two lo's from me...

The first lo is of the kids clowning about on Christmas day and the second is a pic of my mum as she got on a train to go to Reading with my dad for the day on their 30th wedding anniversay in 1992.

Expedit

I wanted to get a large 5x5 expedit unit but I've since found out from another member on UKS that these are soon to be discontinued in white! not sure about the other colours but I would have preferred the white to lighten up the room anyway after a convo with Mr Wonderful he decided he would go to the Swedish shop and get some more smaller units to add to the ones I already have!

So this is how my 'Credroom' looks now... well the crafty half anyway!
































































And this is the other side of the room.


















I just need to find a decent sized table to work on now!
Thanks for dropping by and I hope to blog a bit more this month.
