Rain rain go away

The weather has been horendous today pouring it down all day got soaked goin to school and back this mornin got changed and dried then went to my mums as a nurse was comin to show me how to give her injections i was quite nervous this morning but the nurse was lovely talked me through every step and i did it perfectly my mum and dad were proud of me and i was proud of myself for doin it nurse is comin again next week to go through it again with me then after that i will be on my own to do it if it helps my mum then i dont mind.
Here are 2 los i did this afternoon whilst the weather was bad am halfway through another but been tryin to sort DD out as she is playin up for me now like she always does whilst it has been rainin today the wind has been blowin towards my back door and i noticed bubbles put my hand there and its been leaking through gone through 3 towels this afternoon soakin it up hope it doesnt rain again tommorow.

Busy busy busy

Have joined in on the imediate challenge thread on uks and have done 3 los earlier 1st is using scraps of paper 2nd is usin pink green and 2 flowers and 3rd is usin 2 patterned papers and 3 photos have wrote a list out so will do some more tommorow i sort of lost my mojo so hoping i will get stuck in again doin these challenges

Nathans birthday

Nathan was 12 and he has had a great day i was really struggling to come with something to use for this weeks challenge on uks so who would have thought my sons birthday would save the day he wanted a new mobile phone and thats all he said he wanted for his bday so he came into my room in the morning and opened his cards and presents i gave him but there was no phone so he went to his room after a minute i called him back and said i forgot one and as he opened it the smile on his face said it all he was so happy bless him

So here is my take on the challenge theres a mobile phone template in the bottom corner and there is hidden journalling inside.

stressed

DD has been playing up and have felt quite stressed no idea whats got in to her but hope she changes soon just dont know what to do why did i have to have a devil lol made this maze book yesterday for a friends 11 yr old girl who has just recently been told she is goin to lose her hearing and nothing can be done to save it so hope it cheers her up also sent her few cardmaking bits as she has just got in to making cards.

Getting there

Am doing well with my cards at the moment got my fathers day ones done and also my mums bday ones and an anniversary one got 2 more bday cards to do this weekend and that is it for the month no make that 3 got my friends bday too lol here are some of the cards i did

Another card

Made this after picking DD up from school its a challenge card for a cardmaking group i am in have just prepared bits for another but am gonna wait til kids are in bed before i sit and do anymore now.

On a roll

Managed to do the uks weekly challenge lo and 3 cards today and hoping to do some more later

Really pleased with how this turned out thought the blue and orange may clash with the photos but it doesnt am gonna show this to my dad later or i may frame it and give it to him for fathers day.

This is an anniversary card i made for my bf mum to give to her DH like the gold red tones of this

This is an anniversary card i di for the kids to give to their nan and grandad.

This is just a genrel card that will go in my box for future birthdays/raks.

wet dreary day today so what better way to spend it than crafting lol

Been busy tryin to get the decoratin done today finished the bathroom just got to stencil the border now sons room is a bit of a pain the paper doesnt seem to want to come off so gonna leave it at one wall and paper over the rest as it needs doin asap. Managed to fit some scrappin in tonight did my cj entry and also weekly challenge for uks which i am quite pleased with

Its a picture of my mum and her eldest sister they dont get to see each other often it was at my cousins party and a few tears were shed as they caught up my auntie barbara is just like my nan and it was great to see her thought the colours of the papers matched the photo well.

I need a break

I so wish i could pack a bag and head off for a few days am at the end of my tether at the moment just hope things will improve nearly made a call to the police last night after DD decided to wander off spent nearly a good hour searching for her finally found her and grounded her today for the good it did cos her dad just gave in to her and let her out had another row with him thats what my life consists of lately row after row dont think i can take much more.
Was hopin to do a lo tonight but am not in the mood so gonna head off for bed soon.

Decorating

Think i had a bad idea with this decorating lark lol stripped the bathroom yesterday and have started painting it today am not so keen on the colour it looks too dark i wanted something clean and fresh looking and knew i shud have gone for the other colour i saw oh well to be honest i cant really be bothered with it but it needs finishing would rather sit and craft just havin a cuppa before i get back to it have done one and half walls i am a slow decorater so shud finish it before bed lol

Kids

I am so glad caitlin is back at school tommorow she has been really naughty today been arguing with her cousins then later in the day she threw a stone and hit my auntie in the face at the side of her eye so i threw her to bed. Cant beleive she did that she is just gettin out of control lately and am runnin out of ideas of what to do with her may have to get in touch with the school nurse again and she if she can advise anything. Wanted to do a bit of crafting today but its too late now as i am havin an early night busy day ahead tommorow.

Enjoying the nice weather

Another lovely day here been a nice weekend my sister did a BBQ earlier so that ment i didnt have to cook which was fab altho its been too warm to cook a dinner which is what we usually have on a sunday. Am hoping to do a lo or 2 later once the kids are in bed. Got a busy week planned went to b and q this morning got some lining paper and paint for my sons bedroom and also some paint for the bathroom so thats my plans for this week decorating am also startin my diet tommorow so at least it will be a bit of excercise too lol am feeling really bad about myself at the moment as i have put loads of weight on and am just not happy within myself so have decided to do something about it my problem is i dont stick at things so am gonna give a good go this time if things get too much am gonna try and think of a way to distract me from snacking and do something positive so shall see how i get on.

Sunny day

Lovely sunny day here today which makes a nice change from the rain we had in the week been sat in the garden for a little bit in between shopping and gettin new shoes for the kids for school no scrappin today got visitors soon so no point startin anything now. Got a lot going on at home at the moment so need try get things sorted out in my head and see what happens just hope it all works out for the best as i cant carry on like this no more its either going to go one way or the other.

All tidy

But for how long finally got it all sorted today and its all neatly packed in to here

It will be a mess again once i delve in looking for something i need lol this is why i could do with my own room still think i should kick one of the kids out of their rooms lol

Had a bad thunderstorm earlier only lasted about 20 mins caitlin didnt like the big bang but she was ok need to finish a lo later tried doing it but kids keep interupting so will wait til they are in bed.

What a mess

Bought a new storage trolley thingy from ikea so started sorting through all my stuff still a mess now dont seem to be getting far lol

This is what it still looks like looks a bit better than it was when i first started even nathan helped me sort my papers out gonna finish it off when caitlin goes to bed as need to get her in bath and that first

Bank holiday

Well typical british weather for the bank holiday rain rain and more rain went to the range today and got dovecraft 12 x 12 and 8x8 papers amethyst and aquamarine they are yummy almost too good to use lol also got some page protectors and a storage box. I am feeling really drained today am not looking forward to the rest of this week at all the kids have drove me nuts today showing me up in asda i was livid grrrr let this week go quickly.

Ikea

Went to ikea today seeing as its been miserable went to look at bed frames and i saw a 4 drawer storage trolley that would be perfect for my 12x12 papers and bits so am off back to get one in the week didnt have enough money on me which is always the case lol made a card earlier and was gonna make a lo but i am too tired just feel so drained so bath and eraly night

spiderman

My sister came to mine and said u wanna go to cinema so me my sis n nathan all went and saw spiderman 3 lol it was good we enjoyed it didnt get out til 11.30pm we all agreed this one was the best one lol we saw a trailer for die hard 4 that looks good so may go see that when it comes out on 4th july off to catch some zzzzzzz's now

God help me lol

Well its now the start of the school holidays caitlin broke up yesterday and was home today and nathan broke up today we went to the bank and post office and caitlin was quite good not like she normally is running off and messing about so was quite pleased with her. As a treat i let her join our local libary and we chose some books didnt get any scrappin done today had friends here and we had a takeaway curry it was quite nice had a nice bath and now time for bed see what the weekend brings.

Did my weekly challenge lo yesterday at last in between visitors here which annoyed me i could have done more but cos i was distracted it didnt turn out quite as i would have liked but i am happy with it

used lace to make the M and attatched with eyelets used gems down the side chipboard bookplate and fibres in 3 corners with orange alphabet stickers the photo lifts up to reveal journalling which says how i feel about myself when i look at pictures of me and what i hope to acheive which is losing weight.
