OOPS!

Looks like I've been AWOL again! So what's happened since my last visit to this dear blog...

Madison started walking & now has a very pretty pair of purple shoes, with 3 little hearts on the bottom! How clever of her to put her feet like this for my photo! Especially as she fell asleep like that! LOL

Madison now has 10 teeth however I don't think any of them apart from the bottom two at the front have come through in the order they should!
Kyle has just turned the grand old age of 9!!!I was very proud of him because his birthday was on Remembrance Sunday this year and as a cub scout, he took part in the Remembrance Parade in Crewe!

Every year, I take a photo of him holding up his fingers to show his age, only one more year of doing it though or the socks & shoes will have to come off! Above is a rare photo of him & below is a normal photo of him - well, you know what boys are like!
I've finally seen a Rheumatologist and as usual, consultants don't like giving a proper diagnosis so I was told it's 'Highly Likely' that I have ME/CFS as well as the Fibromyalgia :( So now I'm waiting for physio & occupational therapy appointments as well as a trip to the Chronic Fatigue Service.

And Andy is putting up with us all - bless him!!!

As far as crafting goes, I've been plodding on with a Crochet Bag, knitting scarves, scrapping in real life & digitally, making cards for birthdays where I can - oh no, I better get on with the dreaded C******** cards too lol - and I've signed up for an Art Journal Circle Journal on UKS, which starts in Jan 2012.

Speaking of UKS, I hosted my first solo challenge on there in October - here are my 2 example LOs - using a different size photo, halloween colours & a stamp thats never used!

I was interviewed by Lisa Griffin, a fairly new DT member in ScrapaGoGo Land - the interview was posted on Kyle's birthday - you can read it here if you want to know more about my scrapping history!

The Chinese Whispers CJ in GoGo Land has come to an end but never fear, I will still make use of my kits - I've signed up for 2 more!!! These are the 10 LOs I've created over the course of this first CJ. Chinese Whispers are the best type of CJ's - I love being able to use my stash for a LO that I get to keep! LOL

Thanks for stopping by :)

Thankful Thought No. 4

Today I am thankful for this wonderful lady being in my life...

I have had the pleasure of knowing her for almost 3 years now but I feel like I have known her all my life. She is the true friend & confidante that I always knew was 'out there' for me. She understands my pains, my heartaches, my happiness, my wants, my needs, everything - she understands ME!

She is & always will be my Best Friend Forever.

Love you Suzy xxx

Not a lot of space on my desk this week, but not because I'm in the middle of anything :(

More a case of needing a little bit of a tidy up after the last 'real life' creation. I've been digital scrapping a bit in the last week.
There are some new additions on there though - a pack on Monster Journalling Sprouts from Jenni Bowlin, a set of Sentiments stamps from Studio Calico (thank you Suzy), a couple of borrowed Craft Stamper mags & a box of coffee filters! I've been on the look out for those since I saw this from Mary Anne to make flowers - fluffy ones at that! I think I may well actually try that next!

A little mention for my best buddy Suzy, who isn't having the best of times at the moment! A big hug for you & I hope you start feeling better very very VERY SOON!
