Wow, twice in 1 week.....

Yesterday I went to the Paper Mill Shop to replenish my stocks I used for DD's wedding paraphernalia, and wow, it has changed. The boxes are smaller, but some of the colours are nicer, and I didn't spend as much as I normally would have as the boxes are cheaper too. Daughter was well impressed with my constraint and I spent less than £6 in there, which is more than can be said for my trip to Pets at Home..... lol I needed a big big bag of food for the Great Dane pup and little pug's bling collar has seen better days, so bought her a new collar, also lots of bones to help stop dogs chewing my kitchen (or the small dog bed is the latest casualty), and some denta chews to help prevent vets bills for bad teeth!!

Have made a card for our Sugar Nellie Challenge here.... http://sweetsugarchallenges.blogspot.com/. Please come along and join in, we had lots more people this fortnight, but more cards mean more inspiration for the rest of us. Just wait until the next fortnight, that will be a real challenge for you all....


And here was my card for the challenge before this one, didn't get round to uploading it before...
the subject was black, white and pink.

Have 5 new additions to the household, our cat of 1 year had her litter of kittens monday night and she had 4, all are thriving at the moment, but one of them is really small, so fingers crossed for it, then her mum who is 3 had a single kitten Tuesday night, they are now nursing them all together, thought mum would have some more, but so far she hasn't...... she is not distressed, but quite happy nursing the kittens and looking after them so maybe 1 is all she is going to have. It was quite big, and she wasn't massively fat. Here are some pics....


This picture of my dogs also amused me..... this I guess is a definition of a dog pile.....


Yesterday I received my 3 new Sugar Nellies which I bought from http://www.funkykits.co.uk/, have only used the Monkey so far, but am quite pleased with the results...

Have been out today, and instead of buying the children Easter Eggs for Easter I have bought them all books. They do like reading and so thought I would save their teeth this year. Have bought the older 2 and their wives/husbands small egg each, but the others all have books. They will get Easter Eggs from their older siblings, my mum buys them Easter Cakes and they get eggs from their Dad, and seeing as they are always arguing over who is eating whose, I thought I would save myself some stress..... lol (in my dreams).

Thought I might blitz my house this Easter, I always seem to be tidying up, washing, ironing and cleaning, but I guess I never do any deep cleaning like pulling out the fridges and the washing machine, tumble dryer etc and cleaning, I rarely clean the top of my cupboards in the kitchen, dont often clean the skirtings either, so that is all going to be done this weekend. I will get everyone to join in, one can have a duster and go round dusting the tops of the walls and all the corners, they already have a room each to keep tidy, so I will make sure they have tidied the room they are supposed to do, another can go around wiping the skirtings, another dusting the shelves and window ledges, I will clean the windows and wash the covers and mats, DH can do the hoovering, hopefully then we can knock it all on the head quite quickly, apart from the kitchen, which is bound to take longer!!!

Have a good Easter all xx

Bad Bad Blogger

Okay, so I haven't blogged for over 2 weeks.... I have been really really busy, but now the wedding has been and gone, I am hoping to get back to normal again. Have loads of cards to post for you, but unfortunately have not been scrapping much, although I did make DD and SIL a honeymoon mini album and then forgot to photograph it..... grrrr!!

Wedding went brilliantly, DD looked absolutely beautiful and a good time was had by all (at least I think so), nothing went wrong, the weather was gorgeous and warm and I have loads of photographs, but have done nothing with them yet..... here are a couple of them...





I have also photographed my puppy, here is her picture, she is only 11 weeks old....




This was taken when she was 8 weeks old and she is growing like a weed at the moment and is much bigger, I have no idea how I am going to carry her to the vets in just over a weeks time for her second injection.




Okay, so here are some of the cards I have been making lately.....


Off to Weightwatchers tonight, dont expect to have lost any weight because as well as eating the yummy Wedding meal, we also had a cooked breakfast the morning of the wedding too, plus I couldn't resist the chicken curry at the chinese on Saturday night either...... grrrr.

Have a good day all xx
