Col.Challenge Freebie

Hi all, just a quick post to let you know I am still here, Very busy as per usual!!
This weekend my hubby is over in Spain so I have used the time to decorate my bedroom, our 2 grandson's came to help me and boy was I glad of them!! *love you lads*. they were wonderful, Josh is 12 and Liam is 16 and he is so strong! he is only 10stone wet through but strong as an ox, our Josh stayed the night here and was a Great help putting everything back with me today..
I just got myself locked out! what happened was my sister called on her way to mum's and I was lending her some books for her to read, I ran out when I saw the car and when I turned back the flippin door had closed on me! there was I stood on the front (We live on a Busy main road) pants and top full of paint my hair snatched back in a pony tail (don't think I even combed it today) luckily she hadn't pulled off so I ran after her and she took me to my daughters to get a key, it was lucky she was in as she had been out to lunch at Dave's brothers..
Once I got back in I decided to get the last few bits of this kit finished and now I am going to have a stiff drink, a long soak and an early night
Before I go here are a couple of layouts I have done using the new Love Earth kit by Delicious Scraps, it's Gorgeous!! and on sale for just $1!! I honestly don't know how Anna can be so generous! she is amazing!

 

look at this Sheep! it was so funny, we were walking along a country lane near the caravan when I saw this above us on a bit of a hill, so I started to snap away with my camera, I thought it would run away as we got near but the thing never moved only his head and followed me with his eyes all the way past! I wished I had my video camera with me
and here is your freebie if you are still with me, bet you are glad it is a short post ;-)......lol..

Hope you like it, well now I am going, we have a tough week ahead, mum goes back to the Consultant, we thought it was tomorrow but she says it's Tuesday, so will have to get the letter they sent and check it, she also got the dates for her MRI and other scans for the 26th and 28th, what with blood clinic every week or more it's one long round of Hospital visits..but as long as they can help her we will do whatever is needed...Please keep us especially mum in your thoughts and prayers this week>>
Bye for Now

Long time no post!!

Hi all, I know I am a stranger these days, it's hard trying to keep up here with going to mum's more just now....
She is getting more and more down due to the tests that she knows will be coming when she goes back to see her Consultant on Monday..it's a strain on us all...
I have not been back long one of my sisters and I have ben working the last 2 days on making a new Headboard for mum and dad's bed, I could kick myself for not taking pictures along the way, to see a piece of MDF turn into the completed Headboard now is amazing!! the downside is I have lost 5 of my nails in the process!! *sob* doing these jobs sure is hard on a gal :(  when I go tomorrow I will take a picture to show you the result..:)
I have also made a little freebie to share with you made Using the Lovely Iced Wine kit by Delicious Scraps

I On checking my blog I found I had been given this Award from Jana  over at Scraps and Sparklz,

 Thanks Jana..:)
I will be back with a list of who I will pass it onto ASAP :-)

Well it's time I was gone, got a busy day tomorrow, got to take mum to the Vampires..lol..only kidding!  it's mum's blood day at the Hospital, they can't get her Warfrin levels right so we are back and forward there every week, sometimes twice a week..
You enjoy the rest of your week

Bye for now

Oh Baby..

Hi folks, today I got to play with a Great new Kit Oh Baby, by Karen Clarke from DAC.. it's a lovely Bright fun kit, perfect for your precious baby and many other Layouts too..

included in the kit are 15 Background Papers, 32 Elements, a Full Alpha, lower and upper case letters, numbers and some symbols.

Here are 3 Layouts of our youngest granddaughter that I did using the kit, you can see how versatile it is...

 

 

I am just working on a freebie too, so pop back later in the week and I will have it uploaded and ready for you...
We are having new Gas pipes along our road, it's a MESS!! we have a big hole right outside our front gates, luckily we were able to get the car in the Garage when they put a plate over it before the left for the night, I am just hoping it doesn't rain until they get it finished because the muck will all tread in the house..we live on a Very busy main road and have temporary traffic lights outside, all the pavements are dug up, it's a nightmare, we have this all around the area now for 26 weeks!!!
It really needs doing because there has been a strong smell of Gas here for months if not years,the men working on it for the National Grid say the pipes are so old they are rotting..hence the leaks, so we should get a lot better pressure too when it's done...roll on...lol

Well it's time I wasn't here
Bye for now, Take Care

Before I give you the links here are some layouts I did using a Great new kit by Mel's World - Pond Capers 

it's a kit that's Great Especially for the boyish layouts, although I found it works well with other layouts too..

this one is of "Our Josh" he was coming home after his Rugby training, I think he wallowed in the mud...lol.

this is Josh again a few years earlier on the Dino slide in Gullivers world Adventure playground

and this last one is my Oldest and youngest grandchildren, Liam and his baby sister Ellie, who is 4 tomorrow! oh how time flies..it seems like yesterday that this was taken..:(

Freebie, 2 Easter QP's

Hi everyone, have you ever had "one of them days!!" ? it's been a corker here..
to start with we have no gas on here just now, we have had problems with our Heating, the engineer came to service the boiler yesterday and last night it packed in, I got him back out today and the outcome is that until next Tuesday (because of the Easter Holiday) we will have no Gas, no Hot Water or Cooker, it's freezing here just now!
So off I went to do my stuff at mum's then onto our oldest daughters to baby sit, I had promised the 2 youngest granddaughters to make some small cakes with them today, well Easter Bird's Nest types, (cornflake cakes with choc. syrup and Cadbury's mini eggs on top) I had gotten everything together to do them before leaving home this morning.. I got to their house emptied my bag and had forgot the flippin' chocolate bars to melt down, so that was the end of that for today!
Well enough of that...I am depressing myself!
How about a Freebie or two for over the weekend?
I have made these two with the great new Collab kit _ Easter Fun over at DAC..on sale just now for $4.99! it's packed with lots of lovely animals, chicks, hens, bunnies and ton's more!
