Seeing family

As i am currently working full time, i dont get to see my family an awful lot... this will change in a few months when i go back to working part time again...but it has been a hard year with out them even though they dont live that far. The one person who i do get to see all the time is my big sister.

Two reasons...one. she is harrys teacher at school which is about 200 yards away from my classroom and secondly she is my 'big boss' ie she owns the nursery that i currently work at.. so really i see her alot ...here we are together on boxing day...

( me on the left and my sister on the right) not sure wether i like this photo or not but i dont have many with the two of us so i love it!!!!

Here is a page i did using the photo.. i did it as soon as i got home from my mums when this photo was taken.

The only thing i would change is that i should have printed the photos in colour, buy hey hoo!!!


Will be back in a few days with another page!!! I am currently drawing up designs for a new banner.... hmmm not sure what pattern paper line to use.
Also there is another call up for the design team for the Nook.

It has been my scrappy home for years now and i love it. I was on the team for over a year and hands down they are the best kits out there!!! hmmmm maybe i will try again!!!

Also i made this for the Scrap papesr scissor blog... if you want to see how it is made hop on over to the blog!!!

Happy times

I hope you all had a wonderful christmas. I know i did. Harry was beyond excited for his birthday and xmas day. To the point where he didnt go to sleep till 11pm the night before his birthday!!! And then still up at 7am the next morning...this went on for several days...so yep this mummy was very tired all over xmas, but he did have a wonderful time.

We made sure everything was ready for when Father Christmas came down the chimney, even to the point where we had to move the fire grate so he didnt hurt himself. But Father xmas did good with getting the presents spot on... so hurrah!!!!!!!!! for him.

I have had nearly a week already off work due to a fall on the ice and i still have over another week to go before i go back to work... so what have i been doing with my time??? Scrapping!!! hurrah!!!! And i plan on doing alot more over the next week... all stuff i can show on here as well!!!

Here is one i did last night... i am really enjoying scrapping at the moment...and really trying to move myself out the box as well which i think this one is...


Harry was very insistant that he have to different types of cakes for his birthday party and his actual birthday so i had to capture that...

I had wanted to do one of those pages with banners on them for a while now, but never got round to doing it...

Not my normal style...but i love it anyway...I will be back in a few days... but i am the featured blogger on the Scrap Paper Scissors blog for the next couple of weeks... with some work i really enjoyed doing so check it out.

A self pity post

On christmas eve this year Harry will be 6. I adore this child more than anything else in theworld ( not indlcuding my husband in this of course!!! lol. I hate not being with him and love and cannot wait till the weekend so we can sit and make our lego creations together and have breakfast in bed.

He really is my world. Today i found out ( or had confirmed) that it is 'not recommened ' that i have anymore.

I always knew this was there. They told me this several years ago when i was having physio and doctors appointment after doctors appointment. I will not go into details because to be honest some of it i dont fully understand and actually there where more things wrong with me than i thought there would be.

I could do it again. But basically it would leave me worse off than i am now and have to have several operations. So they are 'not recommending ' it.

At the moment it is sad and i have sat crying for ages and ages. I am not sure why... i have no desire to have another child. I dont get broody when i see small babies, in fact it is the opposite i think of all the things i am not missing. But yet i sit here and cry and i am not sure why......

Whooo this has been a manic horrible 2 weeks.
Sorry for not being around, especially as i had to draw a name out of the hat.

Where have i been...

Harry has not been well, yep you knew that already but seriously the 'flu' that he had knocked him for six. He got better and then went back to school and he has not been right since.He know has a horrible eye infection which no matter what i do seems to just hang around. He has also been left with a horrible cold and cough, and he is pure exhaused. I have been giving him vitamin supplements to try and help.

To honest he just needs to rest so i am looking forward to the christmas holidays!!!

I have been ill, stomach flu sucks BIG TIME!!!

Working, working and working some more, but i have had a few evenings that i have been able to make some stuff for christmas presents.

Firstly i made these for harrys teachers. As he is in a very small school the reception and year one children are together so he has two full time teachers.

I picked up two list notepads at Tescos the other day and made a cover for them both...



I will be doing a 'How to' post on Scrap Paper Scissors over the christmas period. They are really cheap but effective!!!

I am also making these for the rest of the teachers in his small school. I have printed out the labels and am going to buy the jars at the weekend. I just hope they like them...


I got Harry to pick a winner from the give away post before and he picked

Hi Wendy , I'm with you on this one as I have an ever growing collection of punches and I recently went mad with a border punches order at Papermaze. The next thing I was thinking of doing was to collect chipboard shapes just to use as templates as I already have some Crafters Workshop templates that I use. I don't think I have a style as such - like you I tend to use/adapt what I have and my first love is paper so I would much rather turn my scraps into an embelishment than use a ready made one. It also costs less - which means I can spend more on paper!

Email me at wendy@bbbweb.com and i will get the templates out to you :)

For another idea for xmas i am going to make these for my sister.... there is only one problem with it at the moment as i cannot find anyone who sells wooden pegs!!!!! seriously check out the link as it is amazing!!!!!! i found her blog the other day and spent hours going through it!!!!
And the last thing i have made is a baby card for my bosses baby shower... i lifted this from the 'A card a day 'book that i got for my birthday...
