I Made a Calendar



I got this fabulous freebie calendar template from Aimee Asher which you can put your own photo into. I did this one of my daughter Kirsty and then laminated it. I think it looks great. If you want one, get it here: http://www.aimeeasher.com/shoppe/product.php?productid=2798&cat=80&page=1

Woo Hoo - am on holiday


Have arrived in Torquay for my holibobs. We are staying for two weeks and as usual always add a night on and start with a stay with Dave & Jackie Rowen in Abberley Guest House in Babbacombe. They always make us feel so welcome and are not your typical Guest House.

It is like coming to visit a member of the family, most guest houses I have stayed in previously give you your key upon arrival and cant wait to get rid of you after telling you what you can and cant do. With Dave and Jackie it is a totally different experience, when you arrive you are taken into the lounge and offered tea or coffee before getting your key (and after a long drive - it is great to have a break before unpacking the car).

The rooms are bright and airy and so clean you can eat your dinner off the floor!!!!! You can have breakfast at whatever time you like (before 9.30 am) and the breakfast will set you up for the day - grapefruit, juices, cereal and a full english - ALL INCLUDED IN THE PRICE.

If you want to have a look, their website address is www.abberleyguesthouse.co.uk but if you want to book give them a ring first as the prices are a little dearer on line to cover their online admin costs.

Hope to be going back again in September for another little break. Will post up some cards in the next few days - promise!!!

Flippin Cards







Been a bit busy this week as my friend wanted some "flippin cards" I resized them on my computer so I could use them on these aperture cards. She also wanted some baby cards.

I also did a father's day card for Lee's Dad using the "flippin peace" but forgot to take a photo of it - what am I like????

Anyway, off to do some cards again

See you soon

Really crap at blogging

Ok - have been really crap at this. Have decided that it is because I dont know what I am doing. Am going to learn how to do this properly and try and emulate all the other gorgeous blogs I keep reading and salivating over.

THIS IS THE START OF MY NEW BLOGGING LIFE - I cant promise to put something on every day but am going to try for at least once a week.

To those of you who have left me "treats" on your blogs - thank you so much but I dont know how to get them (how bad am I - any idiots guides welcome lol)

On the health side, am feeling a bit better and its only 3 weeks to my holibobs.
