Well so much for my New Year's resolution eh?.......oh well I guess they are made to be broken lol

I am still in and out of hospital, in fact I only came out last Friday so I am recuperating again, I am getting sick of being sick lol.....This time my throat got inflamed and swollen and it started to close up on me so that was a bit scarey but hey ho we have to deal with things that life throws at us dont we....my problem is that I try to get back to normal (whatever normal is) too quickly so this time I'm making myself do things a bit slower so hopefully I can recuperate better....well thats the plan lol

Hope you all had a lovely Mother's day, I went to the cemetry to lay some flowers for my mum, some tulips because she always loved the beginning of spring when all the tulips and daffs came out.....I was shocked at how many cars there were driving up and down the cemetry grounds.....why cant ppl treat it as it should be "a resting place" instead of wacky races!!,.....I understand that ppl with disabilities need access but surely ppl that can walk should do so and park outside like we did, I had only just come out of hospital but I wouldn't dream of driving through

I guess you have noticed that I haven't put any cards on here lately, thats because I have only made what I needed to make i.e family bdays etc and havent thought to take photos of them before giving them out so I apologise for the lack of cards.......my get up and go seems to have got up and gone lol

Anyway I will say bye for now and hopefully I will be on top form soon

Luv to all x

Hi all........Yes Im still around lol.....I have been up and down the hospital as I have a rare disease that I wont go into details with but its a debilitating illness and I dont always get the chance to come here much but I had to come and show you all my new haircut....Ive had it all cut off.......What do you think?





I am still doing my crafting and have started parchment craft so will post some pictures soon

Well friends Im so sorry that I have neglected this blog but I have had such a lot going on in the last 6 months or so........I wont bore you with details but I haven't been well and things have got on top of me........hopefully now that they know whats wrong I can get into some sort of routine

Im hoping the New Year will bring new beginnings and that it will bring better health, wealth (lol) and happiness to us and to all of you next year

I promise I will try to update my blog more often.....Im gonna make it one of my New year's resolutions

Tues 24th June

I think its about time I introduced the grandchildren to you

This is Emma,(my daughter) and Bethany

Well its Tuesday now and I have done my weekly visit to Nottingham to visit Emma and the grandchildren, we had a lovely day........ we stayed in their house all morning as Bethany was sleeping, she is teething and as she isnt like any other baby she is sleeping more since she started poor little mite also has a bit of a cold.......I spent the morning playing with and reading to Samuel, he is growing up so very fast, he is now going to the "big boys" toilet and its only taken two weeks ......he hasnt had any little "accidents" now for ages so we think we have cracked it

In the afternoon we took Bethany to be weighed and she is putting weight on really well which is a relief......those of you that know me will know how important it is for her to be doing so.



And this is our little man Samuel

Monday

Well it's Monday and I have spent most the day clearing up the aftermath of the weekend......... No I am not posting any piccie of that lol...........We had my daughter, Emma and son in law, Nick, and my two grandchildren, Samuel (soon to be 3yrs old) and Bethany (8 months old) staying over for the weekend so they could go to the wedding.....we had a lovely time .......on Sunday me and Brian did a sunday lunch for us all and we all sat around the table just chatting and laughing together, the only thing that was missing was my son, Shaun, he was still down Bristol where he lives with his girlfriend, Jo. Shaun was working all day Saturday so he couldnt make the wedding

Samuel loves coming to my house as he loves going into my craft room, he did some paintings this weekend, I try to get him to do some different crafts each time he comes here, it is very rewarding when he makes a picture for me or one of his family.....as they were leaving to go home Samuel said to me "nannie I am going to get you a present", then he went over to my pebble pool and picked up a pebble and said "this is for you nannie"aawwww isnt he sweet !!


At the end of this post you will see that I have been playing and have managed to do myself a new signature, hope you like it

These are the cards etc that I lovingly made for the happy couple

This is a money gift card















The Bookatrix card










This is a cake card made using my robo machine and with the help from the lovely ladies at ukscrappers

The Wedding

Well.... all the hard work leading up to the wedding was well worth it....the weather was overcast but it stayed dry for us at the crucial times such as the photographs and going to and from the celebrations
























I think you will all agree with me that Clare looked absolutley stunning on the day and they make a fantastic couple
