Anyway here is what ive been doing!!! alex and i made some double choc chip muffins sunday just gone, they didnt crack well on top but they tasted yummy!!!

 Here is a cheeky one of kyle who just turned 3, he goes to bed every night with nemo, which was alex's teddy since he was one, but kyle has grown extremely fond of him so alex gave it to him, isnt that lovely? nemo has to get a kiss and cuddle every night too,

Here is a piccie of my girls night out last weekend, we had a fabulous time, in particular me and my close friend ang as we love our cocktail pitchers lol, it was scrumptious but then at £18 a jug it should be lol,

Here is my hubby and me in the ice bar in london, which we went to in march for our anniversary, it was our 7th anniversary, but we have been together almost 13 years!!!! my where does the time go to hey???

Here is a pic of the funky glasses which are made of ice also, it was minus 7 degrees in the bar and all that purple in tha nack ground was ice too, it was amazing and we shall definately go again,

here is a fab pic of the bar, isnt it gorgeous???

and another of me and daniel,

Ok so if you are a clean freak you may want to avert your eyes lol, this is my eldests bedroom!!!! it was tidy when he went to bed, then when i went in to him the next morning this is what i found!!!!!

it took me over an hour to clean this up again, and some stern words with him to take better care of his things lol

I thought id show a little crafty pic of some of my new stamping up ribbons lol just to show you im here in spirit lol

 So if your still with me lol i know that was alot for you to look at but thought id share my last month with you lol, and boy where you lucky there could have been many more pics for you but i narrowed them down lol

I have no creation for you this time as its not my week but thought id share the fab theme and sponsor anyway,

This week we have the ever fabulous Digi Doodle Shop as our lovely sponsor.

Digi Doodle Shop is the results of a mother and daughter’s love for the arts and crafts. It was started a little over 3 years ago with a little more than 100 stamps, and has since then grown to almost 500 stamps. Joy (the mother of this team) designs realistic images, while Judy (aka/daughter) loves the “fun side of life”, and create images with a cartoon flair. Having these two complimenting styles have enabled

DigiDoodle Shop to offer a wide variety of stamps.

It is a real honor and pleasure to sponsor this challenge, and we look forward to seeing all the amazing creations. We thank the design team for their incredible creations, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this challenge.

Digi Doodle Shop has kindly offered a $10 voucher for one lucky winner.

We have a fantastic sketch for you this week and along with some great images provided for out DT from Digi Doodle shop, we have a wonderful array of inspiration for you.

Cant wait to see what you create using this fabby sketch xxx

my alex got a badge

bless him....i entered his easter card into a few challenges and he won this badge.....

 he is going to be so chuffed when i show hom after school, he puts soooo much effort into his crafting,  

isnt he a cheeky monkey lol, this was taken a couple weeks ago when i took him and his brother for a bike ride we had lots of fun,

sorry ive not had much blogging time this last week as im in the process of making wedding invites for a friends friend lol

May the sun shine upon you

Crikey these fridays dont half come round fast lol, its time for our fortnightly challenge over at Cardmadfairy's digi days and this time we are looking for............

APRIL SHOWERS

so take that as you will and get creating lol, i chose to get my bind it all out as it hasnt seen the light of day for over 6 whole months maybe more, as typically its been freezing here this last week i thought id go with one of jenni's aka cardmadfairy's images that was well covered up and ready for anything, but of course it wouldnt be complete without the usual british hopes of sun so i printed out the sentiment and stuck it on there,

seeing as ive been in a greeny/aqua colour mood of late i thought why not continue lol, so the colours are white and aqua/green.

The rest of the cmfdd Dt have created some stunning pieces for you too and would be fab if you could pop by and have a look, also you may want to find out who the lucky top 3 and winner was from our last theme,

Recycled easter egg foils

Hi folks

I had my crafty afternoon yesterday and couldnt wait to get stuck in, after my hubby and boys had made a start on thier easter eggs i had an idea to save the coloured foils,

A month or two back i bought some chipboard shapes (on board)from Stampin up and had opened them but didnt know what to do with them, so when the thought entered my mind i couldnt wait to get started,

it was quite fiddly as the foil is so thin but i managed to get it on well in the end,

 I tore the patterned papers up for the back ground and used a papermakup sentiment stamp, and the birdies is a stamp from unity,

the card blank is DL in size, i used my greens and white ink pad an blenders to the dp papers to give more effect

What do you think???

i know its different for me but i quite like this, im thinking recycling sweet wrappers is my next task lol.

id like to enter this card into a few challenges if i may;

1.Crafts and me - were going 3d

2.Crafty creations - flower power

3.Crafty sentiments - spring

4.Cupcake craft challenges - spring is in the air
