A couple of cards I have done today

This one is for our Youngest Granddaughter, not a Birthday Card, but we cant leave her out! lol

This is for our Granddaughter Megan's 10th Birthday

and lastly, a get well card made with Fred She Said flowers.


It's been a busy week!

I havent managed to up date my Blog for a while, every time I start, something always crops up!
but here I am now, so here goes.......
I have been busy with all my PSP Sheets, and Tutorials, I have done so much over the last two weeks I have lost count of how many sheets I have done! lol but I think I now have enough new stuff to put on my PSP Website for the rest of the year! lol
I have already made a start on new sheets for Christmas, some I havent tried before, so fingers crossed that peeps will like them.
I have had some lovely emails, and PM's thanking me for the Tutorials, they seem to of been quiet popular, I have already seen some sheets on the Forum that have been made using them.
I did give myself the day off last Friday to try and catch up, but still got nowhere fast! lol

On the home front we are decorating, or should I say updating our bedroom! OMG!!! took me 3 days to empty the wardrobes, and all the draws! We are at the stage now where all we have in the room is the bed, and empty wardrobes (you cant move in the spare room now! lol)
The new carpet has arrived, and the new chest's of drawes, anyone handy with flat packs??
The painting is to be started on Saturday (good job thats all that needs doing!) fingers crossed by Sunday the new carpet should be laid!
The fun will begin then, we get to open the flat packed units! It would be great if Hubby was a handyman! he is fine with the decorating ( was his job for 35yrs!) but show him a flat pack he turns into a "no can do man" lol, so I have the cordless screwdriver, and he supervises me lol
It will all be nice when it is done though, then we can start on the spare bedroom!!

Well that is where, and what I have been doing for the last couple of weeks, today I managed to make some cards, which I will put on a seperate post.
and thats me all up to date at last! lol

I have been Tagged!

I have been Tagged by Greta, and as promised here we go........................

What was I doing 10 years ago.................
I was working in a Florist's Shop, I was the Shop Manager, but as I only had occasional staff, I managed on my own most of the time lol
I loved my job, but after working there for almost 8yrs, I took early retirement when I was 55 yrs old, and love every minute of my retirement.

5 things on Todays to do list...............
and all of them almost done lol
1..I did all my shopping this morning
2..Updated my PSP Website
3..Updated my Blog!!!!
4.. Sat in the garden for an hour
5..Catch up with Greta, and Kath on MSN tonight!

Snacks I enjoy.............
My favourite snacks have to be Rainbow Drops, and Polo Mints, but as I am no longer allowed to enjoy them, I will have to say a very healthy amount of Fruit, with the occasional plain scone, but only once a week for the scone

Things I would do if I was a Millionaire................
Firstly I would make sure all my family were well looked after, then I would buy myself a lovely house somewhere in Scarborough, on a hill top with a beautiful sea view, big enough for anyone who wanted to visit could do so.
I would also give lots to charity, as I think there are so many deserving causes, and I would love to be able to help more than I already do.

Places I have lived...........
This is easy, Manchester all my life, although we have lived in several areas of Manchester, we have Lived in this same house for almost 30yrs, we will only move now, if we do win the Lottery! lol

Thats all my questions answered, all I have to do now is Tag some peeps!!

The People I will Tag are.................
Anne Marie
Caz
Liz
Kath
Toni
Hope I have done this Tagging right, but I am sure someone will let me know if I got it all wrong! hahaha


Saturday already!

Here I am at last, Saturday 5th July already, where has this week gone!
I am sitting here now, and for the next hour I am going to try to update my Blog! (I hope lol)
I have had a busy week (just remind me next time I take a 2 week Holiday, it takes 2 weeks to catch up when you get home hahaha) I don't seem to of stopped since we got back last Saturday!
Today I have been updating my PSP Website, putting the new sheets I have made on there, all of the sheets were made with Photo's I took of my own garden Flowers (only copyright is my own! lol)
If anyone would like to see them my PSP addy is HERE it would be really lovely if anyone who does look could, perhaps leave me a message in my Guestbook, I love to read what others think about the sheets I make.
I had a lovely time at my Great Nephews 21st last night, although for me the music was too loud! guess it's my age lol, but my ears are still ringing with it today! lol

Here are a couple of photo's this one is Brad's cake, bit saucy! haha
This one is of my eldest Son Kevin, and my gorgeous Granddaughters Megan, and Grace, they had a really good time

This is myself, and Granddaughter Megan who is soon to be 10yrs old, doesn't the time fly?
She is almost as tall as I am!
My second eldest son Dave, who took me to the party, as my Hubby George was working!
He looked after me very well, even bought me a drink! lol

My Daughter in Law Kim, and Grace with the most beautiful smile! Grace is 6yrs old.I think that is me updated for now, except I have to sort out this Tag thingy or I will have Greta after me, and I did promise I would do it over the weekend! Now where are the rules of this
