2010-02-23T08:21:00.000-08:00

I have been a naughty oger woopsie. I have loads of piccies but not much time to write about them all. I am always have day dreams aout what i am going to write on my blog and it is all deep and meaningful, then i come on here and i write about rubbish! how useless is that! oh well

heres a few pics of some craft stuff with the bracelet being for Rachel. A few pics of Bella watchign the tv as well. She lovezs to watch the tv when there are animals and she follows the tv. silly dog. Oh and a few of the baby tortoise and the mummy and daddy tortoise. As you can see mummy tortoise is in charge..

2010-02-14T10:28:00.000-08:00

I have a few more scrapbook pages to show you and a card.

I have a before and after picture of Bella to show as well. She loves to sit on the little leg rest.She used to fit on it so i have before and after pictures of Bella now and as a puppy sitting on it. OK i wish i had organised my ophotoso and kept them all on here! The youndest one i can find is not that young but you can still see! She is a crazy dog today. Think she has a rocket up her butt!

stuff

2010-02-07T10:51:00.001-08:00

Will start the post off with a piccie of my bella, she is all poorly. I think you can see it in the piccie but i dunno if anyone else can. She has keenel cough and has been sick a few times and it is soooooooo quiet and cuddly my poor girly.

I also have some craft stuff to show. The earings are for rachel to sell for scope her page is here http://www.justgiving.com/Rachel-Landymore if you wish to look and support her. The bracelet was a kit. The pin page is for the uks weekly challenge where I had to pink, bling and old craft stuff. really enjoyed doing it.

As you can see my photography is still as rubbish as ever...

my poor george

2009-12-27T10:14:00.000-08:00

my poor george boy went to heaven today. His cancer had spread throughout all hs body, he had nasty lumps everywhere and today was very quiet and lethargic so it was time. his poo sister, they were so close. am introducing lilly to another 2 of my rabbits as soon as i get a new cage. an expense not planned for but it cant be helped.

while at work i made this bead. Took me 3 hours but it was great fun and i loved it. Now i just need to make some more. photo is bad though

ha a great xmas and got loads of pressies, some books, craft, dvd, jewellery all sorts. here are a few pics.

snowwwww

2009-12-20T09:32:00.000-08:00

I love the snow, we have laods. there was a few more inches when i woke up this morning. It is great! However i dont drive in it. I hate drivivng and am not very confident on new things, i panic. I am quite confident on roads i know and conditions i know but not too good with dark and dont even get me started on ice! This sucks though as i cant go to the zoo as i cnat drive there :( wanted to see the animals in the snow. Could have probably got a lift one day but dad has put his back out and can barely move so he could not drive me.

Here are some pics of bella in the snow, she loves it. She is like a made women, never know a dog with so much eneergy. In the snow she is hyper and wont keep still, she is like a little lamb. my camera has a snow seting but it is not very good as you can see. need a new camera i think...

man they look bad.... sigh

Have been doing some christmas cooking as well, made a pecan pie. Am also making mini chocolates for people in little christmasy bags. i have a pic of those in the making as well.

merry christmas everyone!!

bella again!

2009-12-17T12:55:00.000-08:00

Thought i would finally upload the pics of bella at the christmas tree as tomorrow i will probably have snow pictures tomorrow. Bella loves the snow!

My poor little bunnies they do always get attacked by dogs. poor sasha has been atacked by 3 dogs now! Last night being the latest as she was dragged out her hutch by her fur by Bella. She doesnt care though bless her she is used to it. doesnt blink an eye. we just scopped her up and put her back in her hutch and she went straight back and ate her dinner bless.

i have also done 1 scrapbook page. miracle i know. so thought i would share that with you.

best news of all. MY DISSERTATION IS FINISHED!!! well pretty much finished. just needs proof reading and a bit of organising but am doing that just before d day. am sooo happy. did not realised how stressed i was until i finished. i feel so different like my normal self again. first thig i did was have the desire to go make something, but i had to clear my desk first. sigh. took ages but done now.

long time no post

2009-12-09T11:16:00.000-08:00

i have been a bad blogger i know but i have been so busy with uni i have not done anything. i get up do uni stuff or go to uni do other jobs then go to bad. until yesterday that is. i should have been doing uni work all day but there is only so much you can do before u have had enough. which i most certainly have.

so here is what i made at alisons crop iw ent to yeterday. pumpkin earings with my first attemopt at beaded beads. woop. then 2 cards on with an ally pally stamp and one for a comp where i got send a card cut formt he cricut.

i threw in some pictures of bella thee for you bella fans as well. this is her new cuddling psititon. as soon as someone sits in the chiar she is up on the poof for a big cuddle. she is getting cuddlyer and naughtyer by the day. but still oh so cute. for those who saw my pupp going free message on facebook that no longer stands as she is currently being good, wait until tomorrow and we will see how she behaves.

and for those who are following the ifnger saga, i can starughten it but not fully bend it and yes it still hurts at certain angles. not broken my big fat butt!!

im not avoiding work, honest....

2009-10-13T08:38:00.000-07:00

I am not meant to be doing uni work at this moment, esp not important uni work which i am on a tight deadline for.... honest.....

just a quick post no piccies :(

my finger is still very sore (see the ally pally post), i reckon it is broken as has been 18 days and i still cannot straighetn / bend my finger...

Bella has been to the river and loved it. I went in with her as she is still on her lead, however standing in the middle of a lake is not a good time to realise that your wellies have holes in! oh well i get to buy pretty new ones now yay.

I have decided to make osme cards and give them to the local pact shop to raise some money for them. when i have time that is. If anybody has any they wih to donate please do so hehe.

and thats it. am attampting to write a questionnaire and then i am off to art class woop

Oops have been naughty, not posted in ages. Have been soooo busy with uni hate it! stupid dissertation!

i have taken bella to the beach. But i bet you did not know that the sea is really scary!! we did not get within 4 metres of it. oh well. she lvoed the sand though. we found another little doggy to play with and i really wanted to let her off as she really wanted to play! i am pretty certain she will come back but she gets scared a bit too often and when she is scared she runs!!

have also done a couple of los to show using some of lovely new stuff. my basic grey birthday kit, my do crafts green set thing and some of my new cupcake stamps.

2009-09-19T11:30:00.000-07:00

I have some funny pictures of Bella to show you. Our friend Anne phoned and was speaking to mum about next weekend going to Ally Pally craft show. Howver Bella was in one of her funny evening moods and was attacking mum. instead of helping her i sat there laughing my head off taking pictures hehe. but arent the cool pictures.

i also found a new bead shop toay in the taverham garden centre complex they have some really nice beads, unusual ones and are really friendly. they also sell little claire design stamps whcih is good as i like their stamps.

Have a few pictures of the super cute little baby giraffe. It is soooo cute and lovely, sham i did not have a better camera.

i also have another scrapbook page of miss bella to show you. she is currently sleeping as sharae ran her ragged round the garden this afternoon.

we have 2 eyes!!

2009-09-16T04:26:00.000-07:00

My poor george bunny is ill. his cancerous tumour is back above his eye. they have removed it and he still has his eye but only a small eye lid so they still have to rmeove his eye my poor boy.

We took bella to the lake but in true bella fashion she was terrified of the ducks so would not go in the water. so we just had a very short walk as she is only allwoed 15mins anyway. Then we popped into my grandads brother house and he has chickens which naturally you would think bella would be scared of right? nope she lvoed the chickens and kept rtying to chase them! scared of ducks but loved chasing chickens she is weird bless her.

i have also done one page of scrapbooking. about my little orince and why we will never forget him. It was a die cut oage made my k and co which my mum got from jarrolds so was relatively quick and effective.

my hair is gone!!!!

2009-09-12T13:15:00.000-07:00

this morning i had long hair, now i have this!!

told ther hairdresser that i wnated a style put in it and wanted something that was simple and easy, long enough to tie up and that is it, thsi is the result. i think i can just about tie it up.. Think it looks good but will take osme getting used to! have bought some pretty clips to accsesorise with :)

Bella has had her first face/feet trim now. She has also learnt to get on the sofa today and that she likes to play in the paddling pool, finally!!!!! We went trainin and hse was pretty rubbish as she was so scraed of the other dogs. oh dear.

oops

2009-09-06T11:35:00.000-07:00

i am a naughty blogger. I have come to ipdate but id ont have that much to post! Has been a busy week, have done loads but nothing really exciting or different worth posting about lol. Just the usual beach, hang out with uni guys, zoo etc. i do have some pictures of Bella though. I have added an old one of Bella with a ball taken 4 weeks ago and a new one from today. can you spot the difference? Ok just looked at pictures and they are great really are they! jhopefully you can see how she has grown, the pictures are abit mixed up as well. man i suck!

i also have my first sctapbook page of bella to show :)

so scary!!!

2009-08-29T11:38:00.000-07:00

Bella can walk! We had our first (3) walks today. She has been full of energy today and is doing my head in!! she is full of energy grrr. I have just taken for a third walk to tryc alm her down but nope she is more hyped then ever. We did have a very scray experience though on our walk. wait for it, it was the curse of the killer......pushchair!!!! arrrggghhh. She has also had her second bath with some cute pictures to show here.

Have also been amking a few cards. getting back into craft a little bit and it has been great fun!! i have 2 to show you here. been using my stamps, pro markers and new nestabilities. still not sure on the nestabilities though. hoping to make some for the local pact chairty shop. took some recently from a compition i had one of my craft sites ukando and they lvoed them. the staff bought a few before they even put them out! they were all cooing over them talking of putting them in frames as they were so lvoley!!

i am also a face painting queen!! woop. not really lol i dtill suck at it but i am getting better. Last frida at the zoo a boy asked to paint me like his toy fish! i did it though and he looked ok so yay for me! i am still very slow though and i always get my hands really wet so fry them on my top and never seem to get the base colour to a thick enough consistency.... am getting there though woo

bellas visitors

2009-08-27T02:36:00.000-07:00

Bella had a visitor the other day and here are 2 photos form her day :) Anne, Fred and Honey came to see her from London. She loved playing with Honey even if she was a naughty little girl and epy nibbling honesy leg and abrking at her. She has just had her second injection so she can walk soon yay

London!!

2009-08-22T11:26:00.000-07:00

Had a great time in London. Spent far to much! I bought a bag, clothes, beads, sweets and jewellery. surprsingly no shoes!!! But i suppose i did buy three on my last shopping outing hehe. Me and Charlene visited mr ripleys musuem, we had a bogof voucher as otherwise it was expensive. It was their one year anniversary so they had the worlds second tallest man there. He did not seem to be in the best of moods i barely got a hello so didnt chance a picture! It was really fun and weird! I took loads of pictures to show, some added here. We also got our faces painted for free as it was their anniversary. Saw Time traveller at the cinema which was ok, went to Leicester square cinema. Its soe xpensive. £13 for an adult. Stayed in Travel lodge and it was sooo noisey. I could hear everyone who walked past and loads of stuff got delievered early. We were a few flights up as well (with a broken lift! just like last year...) Got no sleep, bring back the puppy noise anytime!! hehe.

forgot to say the random piocture of a person is a pieve of art work in the museum made out of tubes of bubblegum balls! They had pictures made out of butterflies which were sooo horrible!

Bella is doing good, she is currently running around with my brother who is chasing her and making weird noises! She has had no accidents today so hopefully she is almost there. We went to the store to buy a new toy and came back with 3. dad is sooooo gonna kill us when he gets home!

For those who like pro markers there are over 50 new colours coming out! Have ordered 12..... cant wait for them to come.

mix

2009-08-19T08:57:00.000-07:00

a little puppy update, she is doing well and has grown soooo much!! She also has a bit of a temper which we are needing to curb. She is sleeping now.

went to yarmouth yesterday to sunbathe but it was actually quite cold on the beach with the eind so we came home!! got some yummy icecream first though.

i alos have a scrapbook page from a challenge on my team on uks. had to use circles, animals and bling.

2009-08-16T13:02:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post of 2 layouts i have done this month, the only 2 and a few more bella pictures. will catch up properlly later, i am sooo tired bella like to wake early and even though we are taking it in turns to get up and then relieve the one who gets up early so they can go back to bed we are all shattered!! but she is very cute and growing so quickly!

guess what this post about...

2009-08-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

guess what this post is about..... bella! Some more piccies to share. She had a little scare today, she tried to chew her paddling pool handle. put half her mouth in it and got her mounth 'stuck' so cried and yelled. She was not hurt and she was not stuck she just paniced. She is a mummys dog so when i rescued her and everyone came running all she wnated was her mummy so i included a picture of the hug to make sure she was ok. She slept really well last night, we shut her in the kitchen. we didnt sleep any better lol, she hardle cried at all but then i lie awake thinking it was too quiet lol.

my rabbits are not bella fans. she likes to tease them! my head bunny sasha is most put out, as despite being in a cage she knew she was above prince in the pecking order as she wound him up. but now bell is top as she has been annoying sasha and not the other way round. she has sbeen sooo quiet and off her food we had to take her oto the vets to check that she was not ill. She got a clean bill of health, so she is just in a grump.

Went out today played mini golf at yarmouth it was so fun! i came second out of the three. Got chips, icecream, doritos mystery flavour, scrapbook trend mag all sorts.

bella again

2009-08-10T06:49:00.000-07:00

more bella piccies woop

puppy

2009-08-09T09:00:00.001-07:00

My puppy is so damn cute!! I will tell you about her later bt for now you can have lots of pccies.

dogs and buttons

2009-08-08T12:21:00.000-07:00

a quick example to show of a button neclace i have made and will be selling. this one is unofficially reserved by casey at the moment lol. i have made 3 and a bit sets so far and have ordered more buttons already even though i have loads left. The craft fair i am seling them at is in October. If you want a stall to sell handmade items i will pass on the details.

I also have some pictures to show you of Honey. Our friends apricot poodle who came to see us today. she is a simia age to prince but if you look at all the pictures of her making friends with the rabbits you can see how poorly princey was as he looked soooo different compared to her and soo poorly compared. it is sad. proves we did the right thing.

have donea little craft stuff but not too much have been just sluming it eing bored, not been in the mood to do much and the thing i have been doing most is button jewellery. with the exception of 2 layouts, but i just got out some sketch and lo books from the libary.

in other news, tomorrow i am getting a puppy. a white standard poodle called Bella. It is really soon and i did wonder if it was too soon to start with but we are dog people and we are all finding it very hard without prince. we are a family that needs a dog and my mum is the most impatient person in the whole world. However we do have to go all the way to Sheffield. Will add some pictures tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how she is comparered to my Prince. I was looking at all the pictures of him on my camera earlier, there are loads! I had some photots of him out to scrap but i put them away as it is too soon.

i am a stalker!!!

2009-08-03T09:04:00.000-07:00

we all miss princey loadssss. He was such a big pat of our lives ad it is so weird without him. We even miss the bits we normally moan about. He did leave us with one reminder of him. For weeks i have been smelling wee and mum said it was just me because no one else could smell it. When we went to move his bed, well the smell was unreal! He obv needed to go in the night more than we realised poor boy. I miss not giving a cuddle and although i have plans to kidnap roz's dogs when i go round tomorrow i have taken to staling random dogs. me and mum had a trip to the pet store earlier just to go find some dogs to cuddle. not good really is it!!!! We will be getting another, princes sister but not until the end of the year as we phoned the breeder to inform her and she offered us a puppy from her next litter. We will have a [princess.

I have pictures to show you of my jewellery but i will post that later as i wanted to have a post all about prince as he is the best and deserved. However no pictures even though i have loads of camera because i will cry so i will save those as well

prince is an angel

2009-08-01T08:09:00.001-07:00

Princey became an angel in heaven today.

i'm a social leper!

2009-07-30T07:04:00.000-07:00

Anyone would think i had the damn plague not swine flu! Obviously i am not at work or the zoo but no one wants me or are coming round to see us, grandad going out has been cancelled! You could get it going to the shop its all far too dramatic and OTT for me stupid media hyping it up so much. sigh im bored.

I receievd some post this morning saying i need to vacinate my rabbits. can you guess how many rabbits i have? I know it is automatic but do i need this amount? I will be calling on charlene again to borrow a carrier as i only have 2 an need 3 unless i want to mak 2 trips, no thanks!

Most of my buttons are here, just a few left to go and i can start making. idnt realie had quite so many, the picture shows just a few. My faves have to be the ones my pal Dianne got my over a diannes die cuts she managed to find me some massive white ones. i lvoe them and might keep them all for me hehe.

Prince has gone down a little bit but mum ont admit it, we all know it though. We took him on a trip to yarmouth as a treat and he had 2 icelollys. he loved it. He gets so much attetion when he goes out cos he is so cute. He is a dog withsuper bad balance and he can not sit properlly in the car so he always sits across someones lap and we need to hold him steady as he falls. Of course i had to take some pictures of that to share as well.

so long!

2009-07-27T13:27:00.000-07:00

omgosh it has been so long since i have posted! oopsie. the sad thing is i dont really have much news to share. I had a good day out in cromer with charlene. Hvae not been there for soooo long. Had chips from the famous mary janes but could not see what all the fuss was about tbh, maybe becuse we had to queue for so long. We did however find the most amaxig icecream stall, they had so much chocie inclusing 9 flavours of mr whippy! We both had butter peacan my whippy dipped in chocolate soooooo yum. We went searching for crabs as well but we did not find any cos we were rubbish so i took a photo of a random little boys bucket. hehe.

I have started on a mini book with all my pictures for my little yarmouth in it. It is comign along ok but i just want to get it done.

Have been to the torture chamber, sorry i mean the dentist twice, including today. i am sure i can hear them still laughing and they wondered why i kept canceling my appt. At least i kept them all amused i suppose. treated myself to lots of sweets after hahaaha.

bits

2009-07-20T05:25:00.000-07:00

Got another 'vote for me' leaflet in the post and the second sentance was about the fininacial crisis but with every full colour glossy leaflet put through the door was a dvd! not too bothered about finiancial crisis i see then... that is 5 dvds just for those who live in my house all sttaight in the bin.

Am thinking of selling the button necklaces i make at a local craft fair that my mum is organising to make funds for my graduation holiday. what do you think?

butterflies and buttons

2009-07-19T12:08:00.000-07:00

Had a great day at the zoo again last friday. remembered to take my camera with me but the weather was not so good so did not get any good pictures, except from a butterfly who landed right next to me! Still not been able to practice my face painting skills though but it is summer holidays now so things should get busy! Am terrified of painting my first face though!

I have completed my button neclace woop. i love it sooo much. the tutorial i made it form is here

Prince is still doing ok, every gag or tummy rumble everyone runs to see if he is ill! we are all on edge. Mum is slowly getting better as well so thats good. Went to see the proposal today at the cinema and it was great! I thouroughly recommend it

dunlem mill

2009-07-16T11:58:00.000-07:00

We went to dunlem mill this morning, it was very busy. It was a good store kind of like the range. The craft department is very small but has some ok stuff in it, handy being clsoe when i run out of basics but hopefuly it will expand. I filled in a comment card saying they needed more craft stuff as i know lots of people did. The crfat section was quite busy when i was there.

I found some eally nice button jewellery online and a tutorial on another site so i am gonna give it a go..... maybe on saturday when i am work.Last time i tried with no tutorial i failed miserably so fingers crossed.

I also did a page for my disney album with the tigers in the pool.

stuff

2009-07-15T13:13:00.000-07:00

Was there something on in Norwich today? At work and in chapelfield car park it has never been so busy on a wednesday afternoon! I had trouble parking and let out every wheelchair, some of them twice!

I have almost finished my york scrapbook so i thought i would add a few more pictures to share. I hope to finish it tomorrow. Maybe with crafting stuff from Dunlem mill lol. I do hope they have a craft department.

Of course i could not finish the post with some pictures of my poor princey as well. I have taken quite a few recently as im sure you can imagine.

I forgot...

2009-07-13T08:26:00.000-07:00

In my last post i forgot to say that my mum was poorly. her back is gone and she can barely move so i hope she gets better soon.

In other news there is a new shop openng near us thursday and some of its other branches have craft departments.. please please please lol.

Prince has a vets appt in 45 minutes. fingers crossed...

edited to add: hes home woop. he has used 8 3/4 of his 9 live sbut he is ack but it was a very close call, again! I did bribe the vet lol by reminding him that we are his best customers lol. it was close but am soooo relieved i almost cried!

face painting

2009-07-11T09:55:00.000-07:00

i have been facepainting recently in prerperation for the zoo! I will be face painting all the children when they come to the zoo so was sent home with some to practice on and here are some of my guniea pigs hehehe. I have been having such a good time at the zoo i even have a radio now woop. hopefully i will get my uniform on friday to show you.

my tortoises had a healthc heck the opther day and they passed with flying colours. The nurse was shocked at how feiendly they were and said she had not seen such nice shells in a long while. However just another blot on the stupid store we got them from (NEVER go there! the one in sprowston) they are different breeds! One is hermans and one is east hermans. we always wondered there shells were so different and such different sizes. I am quite disgusted with them. After everything how they can still exsist as a store dont know they are useless! Grrrr

i will finish my entry with a warning to all those who go fruit picking.
WARNING: BASKETS ARE DANGEROUS!

holiday

2009-07-07T12:06:00.000-07:00

i am back from holiday. i had a great time but am so tired. the caravan itself was a dive! it was relatively clean but there was such a bad stamp smell and nothing in bathroom worked properlly so shoering was interesting! We did not complain as we did not want to move caravans if they coud fix it as we had a brill location. close but not too close and at the back so we were overlooked and squished in and had loads of space to play. We did loads of ativities like swimming, splash pool, olympics, beach, teddy bears picnic, at the evening netertainment form 6 - 11 so we were constantly go and I can not get the r and b song out of head! Some pictures below.

I have also done a few pages in my york book which i has to show here. although it is 8 by 8 so not that small it is small for me as i can not do small lol so it is hard but it is coming on good, well i think so!

stamps and tortoises

2009-07-01T09:07:00.000-07:00

i have been busy printing my pictures from york and getting to ready to make a mini album with them which is unusual as i dont normally do mini books. i hope to get started tonight. I have recieved some new tilda stamps as well which i have made 2 basic cards with. but i am now soooo broke i must not buy anything else, and i mean it....

i also have some pictures of my tortoises to show you from today when they were outside sunning themselves. The girl is a litle git as my phone fell out of my pocket and she crawled on it and did a poop! was soooo n0t pleased. the girl is the big lady.

prince is still doing ok about the same but the vets have said there is nothing they can do for him now as he has so many things wrong. his current conditions are under control so they do not know why he has lost weight again and why he is getting sores. He may last as he is for months or it may only be weeks depending on how he progresses but at the moment he is happy enough to continue.

i am also goign away again this weekend on a caravn break at the ebach in yamouth.... shoudl be interesting but i am looking forward to relaxing

im backkkk

2009-06-27T12:22:00.000-07:00

had an ace day in london. has great seats in the show. the firts game of family fortunes was members of heartbeat against loose womnen who were very funny and kept saying naughty stuff. the second was a lady from the bill who is now going on loose women and a guy from dragons den. i wpnt ruin it and say who won and how well they did. there was a very annoying laughing banshee in front of us so hopefully they edited her out, was very annoying. according to the audience guy who tells us what to do people from norwich are all pig farmers and inbred..... lovely huh. train homw was late. went to bed at 4am and up again at 7 for york.....

york was really great as well. i spent farrrrrrr too much money. i bought everything lol. lots of stamps from make your mark. i got a pair of pumps from newlook and there shoes normally dont fit but they are soooo comfortable. most comforatble shoes i have apart from crocs and only £9 with student disocunt..... so i went to buy another pair today as cheap and comfy. but they had 2 other colours in my size and i coul not decided so i got both lol.

prince is poorly again and neds to use another one of his 9 lives but hopefully should be ok.....

finally!!!

2009-06-10T12:54:00.000-07:00

i'm still here lol just been busy. i had my interview at banham zoo for my volunteer post in the education department and i start sunday :) Am so excited i miss my little animals there and it is so much fun.

Have only done a minimum amount of crafting and have bought way more stuff than i have used sob. I got a few pens, papers, beads, stickers all sorts. i so need soeone to go on a stash diet with i am meant ot be saving as i am going on a few trips over summer. oh dear nvm. her is the craft things i have done.

No blog post could be posted without an animal update! Prince is in the process of being groomed. He has been washed and brushed and now it is cutting time. He can not go ont he table as we can not bribe him anymore and we can not use clippers as his skin is so sensitive. even brushing was hard work as all his legs would star flying as he hit his spots! we have to do little bits as and when we can which is not easy. the 2 budgies are ill as well. one has lost feeling in one leg but can be fine if she can cope with it. the other has a brething difficulties so i doubt he will be fine but they will probalbly both go togetehr as both so old and he one with the poorly leg also has a lump. vets tomorrow.

It was not me!

2009-06-03T11:26:00.001-07:00

I seem to have a pasta gremlin in my house but i cannot figure out who it is, can you? One minute the pasta is there the next it is gone and it can't be the dog as he is such a good boy and is on a special diet he wouldn't..... I wonder who it was?

Have also done this LO today. my second one today and have started another. Have figured out how to crop photos oh this computer, now i just need to firgure out how to save it as a smaller size so i can upload to places like uks....

I got a lvoley parcel from capture the magic this mornign of the new doodlebug range. It is sooooo lovely i dont want to use it!

Had to go to uni today to hand in some bits and well i am fed up. I dont know if iwant to go back. I am so fed up of the whole course and the million things wrong with it. Today just tops it all off. I am sick of fighting for what should be a given. I have sent 2 emails today one nice and one not so nice to see what happens but i am just really fed up of fighting my corner. As for the people who are meant to be my friends there well...... When i got home form uni today soo mnay things have gone wrong since, just litle things like the dog eating the yummy lunch i bought and stuff.

2009-05-26T12:50:00.000-07:00

I have a few bits to show you today. A card i made and a layout of prince. i am really please with my layout, i used the new DCVW green stack. it is such nice quality textured card. i split the pack with someone else as i did not want 2 of each paper, we also split the embellishmen pack. the cards are made usig my new promarkers. i ahve been colouring like crazy since i got them but not have actually done anything with what i have coloured until now. oh i also added promarker detail to the leaves on my layout. I treid to upload this yesterday on the main computer but it wont let me upload the photos :(

Have been busy perparing for my exam on Saturday. every time i think it is sorted someone telle me something else that makes me panic and think i have gone wrong grrr. im sure it will be fine though.

My mum and dad have been away for a few days visiting friends leaving me grandad and luke behind. Luke has been at his girlfriends. I am a very heavy sleeper and prince does not bark when he wants to go out in the night. He has not needed to for a while now but he did last night :) Lovely boy i awoke to a lovely parcel on the rug lol. i need to sleep lighter!

anyone watching britains got talent? i just love diversity and flawless!! amazing!

All manner of things - quite long!

2009-05-22T12:18:00.000-07:00

I have had a blog barely a week and i am already getting lax in posting!! woopsie. As a quick question does anyone know how to delete blogs? I have 2 old ones to delete from 2006!!

It has been mums birthday and we spent the morning having a photo shoot which was good. Then we went to Mambo Jambos. We made them play the happy birthday song and mum got a balloon pus a cocktail with a sparkler in it. She was soooo embarrased it was great.

I turned my favourite picture into a layout for a challenge. The chalenge is currently secret as it is being set by my team over at UKS in June. I am on my laptop and i dont have a programme on here to crop pictures ect. Can anyone recommend one?

My tortoise has laid some eggs! woop. It is the second time she has had some but the little boy is a bit too young, his swimmers arent quote strong enough. We will check the eggs tonight but it is doubtfull they will be fertile yet. sigh. Soon though i hope as she is obviously a good egg layer lol. She gets all cuddly when she is going to have some so you always know, bless her.

What is it with road works at the moment, they are everywhere!! At the moment they are boxing us in! my house in the middle of a small box with main roads running round all 4 sides, 3 of which they are doing major road works on! It is a nightmare to get in and out of the area. The road to my road will be closed at one end next week and my friend is coming round so i need to redirect her around all the roadworks! grrr stupic roadworks

anyway hope i have not board you to much. Until next time.

Quick post

2009-05-19T08:53:00.000-07:00

Just a quick post today to let you all know about the exam. It went pretty rubbish! Everybody thought so not just me. I attempted all questions and not everybody did but i am not happy with any answers. Everyone thinks they did really badly and we are all quite anfry for various reasons. Jut need to wait for the results to see what will happen... grrrr. To comiserate i went to Taverham to collect mums birthay pressie and bought a few little craft bits while i was there. hehe.

exam

2009-05-18T08:18:00.000-07:00

I have my exam tomorrow arrggghhhh!! i need a few miracles lol. i have recently done a Layout on the subject of this exam. It was only a quick and basic page as i could not spend long on a linguistics page lol. I also did as part of the weekly challenge over at UKS. I have added journalling in the gold brackets but the photot was taken previously

.

MY mum made these two cards the other day using the cricut paper dolls cartridge and i was rather impressed so i thought i would share with you.

As for a prince update for those who know all about princes problems (my dog) he is slowly getting better. When he was a puppy he used to eat everything small and fabricy. He wpould even try to take a cleaning cloth out of your hands to eat. We thought he grew out of it but it must have been he stopped as he was unwell as now he is feeling a little bit better he is eating them again. This morning i discovered a cloth, last week he ate 2 socks and the week before my makeup sponge! He is a devil.

Does anyone have the link to Janes blog please? I dont seem to h ave it.

Introduction :)

2009-05-15T11:57:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my blog!
We can all blame Lisa for my new blog as she put the idea in my head, hehe. I will try not to bore everyone too much!

I thought i would start by shpowing you a neclace and earing set i made with some cute beads from Jarrolds. I went for a magazine and came out with the beads. I had so many ideas on how to use them i think i might need more.... Apologies for the bad photography as my mum took the picture but i could not do any better either so should not complain lol.

I am not doing much at the moment just revisisng for stupid exams. I have my first next tuesday and i need a miracle to pass! I have not done the subject since December and i did not understand it then and dont understand it now. Linguistics anyone.....

and a cute picture of prince to finish off my first post :)
