my poor, old faithful car :(. I think I shall be traumatized for a little while to come! She has been part of our family for 10 years now and has taken us on various holidays, shopping trips, to various crops and also the odd trip to A & E!
Anyway, she has had waaaay too much spent on her recently and was due to be taxed again at the end of March. Unfortunately of late she had become very VERY sick and I have only been able to limp about locally in her....so yesterday....she took her last spin on local roads...(well, on ANY roads actually lol) Dale followed me and we took her to the local scrap yard....and there I left her :(...........
Farewell my oil guzzling, rattly money eater!



And a biiiiig WELCOME to my lovely, shiny( and rattle less) new drive!
Yep, I am now officially the owner of a lovely Skoda!!!!!


.

Noooooooooooooo! Not one like that!!!!!

one like this!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>> actually this is her¬

She is lovely....and has leather heated seats.....and air con ( I had to open the windows for the same effect in my old car!!)...and 4 wheel drive.....AND central locking!!!!! Can you tell I am not used to having a * normal * car!

So....now all I need are a new air freshener....and some pink furry dice and matching steering wheel cover!

I think my trauma is starting to fade.......he!he!he!...xxxxxx

Share The Love

I am just going to try and squeeze a last minute entry into this months challenege at The Craft Barn




Isabelle Norris has designed this fabby sketch to follow and also you have to use the theme of LOVE....that is Love of any kind, be it for your other half, your family, your pets, Cadburys creme Eggs or anything lol.

So this is my offering. Its a photo of Lauren and Oliver, taken last year at Fishers Farm Park on a day trip out. They had just come off of the ice rink and decided that Oliver wanted an ice cream. Now he NEVER shares anything like that normally, but he totally LOVES his biggest cousin to bits and will do anything for her, so when she asked if she could share he was definately happy to.






I have used paper pleating on here to create the flower rosettes and the border.

Thanks for looking, hope you like it..xxxxxxxxxx

Thrilled to bits!

Wow, I am buzzing.....thank you soooo much Sarah and Lynn for tipping me off.

I am so chuffed, my entry into the Promarker Challenge for last week has been picked as one of the top 5!!!! So I get to put this badge on my blog

I shall wear it with pride.....can ya tell I am chuffed!!!
Be back later hopefully....xxxxxx

Buttons and Bows...PFP Challenge

Afternoon all :)

I made this card over the weekend but didn't actually finish it totally til last night. Its for the latest challenge over at the Passion For Promarkers Challenge blog and its any colours you like but the theme is Buttons and Bows. I bought this gorgeous ribbon( its a fine organza type with an embossed pattern in flock) and the buttons on Saturday at The Eternal Maker at Chichester and just wanted to use them straight away lol....still, makes a change from them sitting in a bag tucked away under everything else for weeks...nay months....on end LOL!

I thought I would make an easel card and add a little calendar to it. The PP is S.E.I. Dill Blossom.

Thanks for looking...have a super evening...xxxxx

Happy Birthday Dale.

To the Most Important Man in my life....the best Husband and Daddy....my Soulmate...


Wishing you the happiest of birthdays Sweetheart ....we love you....enjoy your day!
All our Love Anita,Lauren and Chloe...xxxxxxxxxx

A little Lovin'

hello anyone who reads this lol...sorry not been about for a few days
( although I am sure no one missed me lol). i thought I would share this layout that I have recently made, its sort of a half pressie and half comp entry :)
Jill at Cardinal Colours
has been running a competition on the theme of luuuurve! It could be a love for anything you like and I just knew what my obvious choice was ( also I didn't have a photo handy of Creme eggs so couldn't do that option anyway....mwahahahahaaaaaa!!!)I based the whole page on a 12 x 12 transparency which I stamped swirls onto with white and black Staz-on. I then used a mix of papers inc Scenic Route, Making Memories and KI Memories. The lasercut panel at the top is the white backside of a turqouise sheet and I inked it red and then dragged an orange ink over it. I then just used a mix of various alphas for the title.

I stamped the black flowers with some white stazon then punched a retro daisy and punched the edges of each petal with my doily lace punch.

The wording is....The Greatest Love Of All....is The One I Share With You......


says it all really eh :)

Cookie Monster!

thought these little beasties deserved a post of their own! Lauren wanted to have a play with some buns and decided on making some Cookie Monster ones, so up to the shops she went and came back with some bright blue food colouring! He should really have got mini cookies in his mouth, but whats a cookie size between friends.

And i must say they were very yummy indeed. I was looking forwards to having one the day after, but I opened up the fridge door, picked up the plate with the cookies on and.....it slipped out my hand, hit the glass shelf and shattered the shelf and hundreds of shards of glass sprayed everywhere! So had to chuck them away as i really didn't fancy anyone chewing on little bits of the sharp stuff! Maybe we will find Big bird visits the kitchen this weekend lol.
