been a while...

I have been so busy lately that i have not been able to get much done. Our puppy Willow was spayed a couple of weeks ago and has needed lots of looking after, she has turned into one pampered pooch! The kids have had loads of activities at school, i was at my daughters school today for family learning. We had to make cookies and design packaging for them. Six children all screaming at me at once that they wanted to mix the dough, roll it out, cut the shapes!!!!ARgh...i dont know how teachers do it everyday, i was only there 31/2 hours and now have a raging headache! The kids worked really hard though and had some beautiful cookies wrapped in purple cellophane to show for it!!

Our Wight craft circle met up for our monthly crop on saturday so i was able to enjoy some ME time! I only got two LO's done but it was nice just to catch up with everyone and eat cakes!

I did this LO for wk 17 SLYMI-scrap with lace and layers. I am a bit behind with this, i still have not done wks 16 and 18! I had some lovely papers from Kaiser craft with fairys and butterflies on and some new stamps so just had to use them for this photo of my DD. I have used thickers, doodlebug rub ons, primas, K&Co fabric brads, freebie stamps and snag em stamps.

This one was for SLYMI wk 19-Scraplift a page from the SLYMI gallery. I scraplifted this from Jo.Bee on UKS (thanks!) I have used papers from Hedi grace and urban lily, thickers, technique tuesday and studio G stamps.

I am going scrapping with my friend tomorrow evening so hopefully i will be able to catch up on SLYMI!
