Well Jamie came home yesterday and all is well he is just a little sore. Not much happening this weekend because of his operation just really been sitting around the house. Did a little gardening this morning but kept raining so that soon stopped.
Am supposed to be doing some of my assignment but it isnt happening..need to get a move on though as its due on wed!!!

Still havent done any scrapping so nothing to upload yet but am at warrington crop in a couple of weeks and as soon as finished Uni I will have lots more scrapping time on my hands

14may2010

What a long day it has been. Jamie went in for his operation today. I couldn't stay so went home. He is ok and they removed the blockage (brief history is he had blockage in his pipework causing probs when he went to the toilet). He has been told it may come back and it may be worse as this is the 2nd op he has had for this (had one when younger) all being well he should be discharged in the morning first thing.
As a treat Frankie got a dinosaur bed and some new dino figures...he is obsessed at the moment!!! He hasn't even noticed that daddy isn't here not looking forward to the questions in the morning about where he is...mind you he will prob think he is a work.
Not managed to do any crafting today ad far to tired didn't do assignment either....oh well at least that's my weekend sorted!!
I will update on jamie tomorrow

Well it's been a few days now so thought I'd better update. Things

to myself these days.
I haven't done any crafting recently but have a day off on Friday so

Disney album before the summer.

Nearly Xmas

Its come so quick I cant believe that it is only 2 days away now.

Well I finished my Christmas house and here it is....



I used the Dec Kit from Sarahs Cards to decorate it and am really pleased with the outcome (and it doesnt look like Frankie did it either..haha)Im going to put a light inside it and it now has pride of place in my living room.

Am in the process of doing lots of Xmas baking and trying to get some last minute cards done.

I hope everyone has a fab Christmas and Ill be back after with pics of the kids in the snow and possibly some birthday pics for you all to enjoy.

Happy Christmas xxxxx

Just a quick note....

I have just done the best thing for Frankie......I have managed to get him a video message from Father Christmas!!!!
http://www.portablenorthpole.tv is the site I uses and I think its fab...hope he likes it!!!!
will post a link to the actual video once he has seen it...thats only fair

TFL XX

Well all my christmas decorations are now up apart from lights in front window as they are broken and need to be replaced this weekend. The tree is Fibre Optic and looks better when lights on..cant figure out how to photograph it yet though...LOL

Frankie and Lillie even decorated their own wodden decorations..the start of a new tradition I think!!


I have also started to decorate my xmas house (here it is as a blank canvas) will upload all the pics together as I have only painted the inside at the moment...just need to sort out papers now!!!

Managed to finish assignment and get it handed in so that is out of the way now, I just need to concentrate on the next one as it is a big one, only thing is that the setting I have chosen are making it hard for me by not responding to emails and phonecalls (It is a critical anaysis of my setting against another setting)

Well the UKSCRAPPERS Cyber Crop is over and im sad to say that I didnt manage to join in!!! Mum and dad decided that they would come up and visit the same weekend. I managed to do a bit on the friday night and a tiny bit sat morning but nothing else.
I decided that I would take part in Shimelles challenge. Have made the book and taken the 1st lot of photos...just need to print off and add to the book, also need to make the cover.
Must try and get some more scrapping done...not really done much recently.

Mum and dad spoilled Frankie as normal when they came up...they had brought loads of bits for him..trainers, england kit, In The Night Garden bits and much more. We had a really good night on Sat..we had a drink and played some silly games..was good to see them.

Ah weel...must dash as im supposed to be working.
