2008-03-23T16:25:00.000-07:00

will post some more tomorrow

Just to say hello...

2008-03-23T15:09:00.000-07:00

Thought I would tell you we went to Seton park with Lana and her girl's last week and had a lovely photo shoot...I don't know why but I'm still not very good at posting photo's but I will try in a bit.

last night I went to church with my friend Pauline, she is like me in her late 50's but she has decided to convert to Catholicism, and she made her first holy communion, she asked me to be her sponsor,
I think she has turned to the church since her DH died 18 months ago, its been sad to watch her.
she used to come to the doll's house club with me once a month and to our weekend once a year.... but she just want to stay in all the time and I just don't know how to help her, I do phone her once or twice a week but I don't want to pester her.
anyway on a lighter note, I have lost 3 stone since September, I cant really see it myself but my Dr's scale's tell me that I have and so do peep's around me.
I will see if I can get those photos for you to see.
I told you I'm hopeless, this is our Karl with his little ones last year, I will try again to find them tomorrow..

well its me again

2008-03-18T15:21:00.000-07:00

I went to Southport today with Karl and the 3 children it was a bit cold but the sun came out just as we started out for home never mind.

2008-01-06T17:18:00.000-08:00

OK I have just realized one of my teamies has tagged us...
New years resolutions, like I said before, my first one is to look after myself,
I have just picked up a scrap of paper that I scribbled notes on
On new years eve, do you really want me to put it down it order? lol, OK then you asked for it.

1. Do some scrapping.
2. Try not to spend to much money and save some.
3. Eat healthy and exercise.
4. look after my sister.
5. Be a better person.
6. Be kind, forgive, starting right now with him upstairs( just had a row with DH) I am putting this down as it reads lol,(it was my fault).
7. don't start anything new.
8. finish off.
9. No BMW next year. (that is my doll's house weekend)
So there you go all my mad thoughts for the new year warts and all,
Thanks Anna.

Well I've got over THAT birthday, I don't mind the rest, I was 58 on Saturday.
We lost my big brother when he was 58, and i know its silly but I just had a dread of it, and now its gone I'm OK.
And looking forward to my next.

So the dreaded kitchen is done, just need to do the oil painting.
The main part is sorted, just washed all the shelves ready to paint tomorrow, boy don't it feel good and i wouldn't mind but DH done most of it.

Now what next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2007-09-25T12:33:00.000-07:00

Well done nowt today but go to town and have a root around poundland, got some pens but not a lot there, never mind enjoyed being out and about,that is till I got home I've been falling to sleep ever since.

When I got home DH Had gone to pick up our DGS from his after school club, he had fallen up the stairs in school at lunchtime and hurt his little finger.

DH when he saw it took him straight to our local walk in center, they think its broken, they strapped it up and he has to go back in the morning for an x-ray, school's what are they like, his mum is going to ring them in the morning, and ask why we weren't sent for it is so obvious it badly damaged.

And God love him its his birthday tomorrow. He's 12

I shall put a photo of him up in his new school uniform
only 2 weeks ago.

Evening

2007-09-24T15:01:00.000-07:00

Well I hope you like my elephants, I think they are lovely,
I had my new lens on my camera, so i was made up when they started to play.

I think it was mum and 2 young one's, one a bit younger than the other, it was a joy to watch them and I took loads of piccy's.

I'm not going to talk about the kitchen tonight, but I have started to move things about :)I'll have another go tomorrow.

I have my classes for the rest of the week so it will have to be the weekend now.

One more

2007-09-24T14:47:00.001-07:00

I thought I would post some of my elephant's that i took in the summer holidays, at the safari park here in Liverpool, if you look closely I'm sure they are smiling.

At play

Good evening

2007-09-23T12:36:00.000-07:00

Well I'm back, not started the kitchen yet but i will.
I have been watching the telly all afternoon.
they have had an Egypt weekend on and I so love that,
I think I was a Pharaoh in another life LOL.

I have a busy week ahead of me we have a few family birthday's so that should be nice.
thinking of starting my Christmas card's sometime this week as well,
DD and I are going over to crabapple this week so I'll see what's new get a bit of inspiration lol need it ATM.
see you soon.

What can I say

2007-09-22T14:47:00.000-07:00

Well just what can I say I'm hopeless at this blogging, but I'll try,
I started back at night school this past week and wondered just what I'd let myself in for.
I only meant to go to one class but ended up in 3 of them.. never mind, maybe something may go in lol.
I've got 2 of my darling cherubs here with me tonight, and Issy has had me doing scoobies not content with a bracelet she wanted an owl keyring Oh well.
I've joined the birthday CC hopefully it will get me back into scrap mode, maybe.
I'm hoping to get some decorating done before Christmas, but i just have to wait for day's when I feel up to it, having said that we done the bathroom last week so its the kitchen next, and I mean its only a tiny little one it is really,so why should it take so long,I think really its just moving stuff around and washing the walls down.
I think I will make a start tomorrow, and then I'll come back and let you know (I'll have to do it now)
The weather is going cold and the nights are getting darker earlier it depressing, cant stand the dark nights, think i must have that SAD thing.
I'm really looking forward to Christmas this year.
Looking back my life has changed a lot in this last year, I finished work last December and I had that scare with the lump I found in my breast, that really made me sit up and take stock of my life.
I really appreciate everything now and look at life in a different way.
PLEASE make sure YOU look out for yourself and check your breast's.
Anyway I'm starting to ramble, I'll come back when I start the kitchen :):):)Goodnight

this is issy's fishy

a rainy day in Liverpool

2007-01-11T14:53:00.000-08:00

the weather has been really awful today..lana stayed at home to tidy up so I thought I would nip into town.. i need a new coat and i hate shopping for myself..anyway I went and after hours looking I finally got one...black as usual....I think I'll scrap it LOL.................
I don't know what to tell you about on this blog...a bit about me maybe,
I have always been into crafting even as a small child I done the usual knitting and crochet..i learned how to crochet when i was about 7 using a knitting needle, It was a big thing when i got my 1st hook, it was a green plastic one..and i was made up with it...I remember making a shawl for an old Ladies that I adopted when i was 10... she was my brother Dave's girlfriend's Nan and I loved her, and I was told not long ago that when she died Val's mum kept the shawl in her bottom draw.... that a little girl had made it for her mother gosh I'm sure you didn't want to know all that..
I'll post a LO of Amelia in her Christmas production she was a star....
I will tell you a bit more about me tomorrow if you want to know.. if not tell me to shut up LOL
