2009-01-29T10:20:00.002Z

Sorry I keep meaning to update, but as I said in my last post we have had a rough few weeks..... to cut a long story short .. A distant friend through my ex who sometimes speaks to me on facebook, decided she would steal some pictures of Nevaeh and post them on a website for mothers who had lost children. So she said nevaeh was hers and that she had died and put the picture up. To say the least I was heartbroken that someone could be so sick. So I went to the police, in the end I dropped the charges adn asked them not to persue or even entertain this person as she obviously has serve mental issues!

Ok so there it is in a nutshell.... moving on LIN your are the winner of a little stash!!!! let me know your addy and il post it out.

I do have some craftyness to share but i need to photograph it and tbh its a bit dull adn no light in here so il have to wait for it to brighten up! Ive also got some sneaks for the scrapbook apprentice next round.

Ok I hope everyone is well

Where has the time gone, shes so big, so clever, so utterly adorable i want to pinch her ( BUT OF COURSE I REFRAIN FROM DOING SO LOL ) So whats she doing now, shes nearlly potty trained, goes herself in the day just got nighttime to tackle next. She's in a big girl's bed yep a full sized one. She utters the ost adorable words and likes to tell tales on both connor and nevaeh. Ahhhh shes is just darling adn Im blessed to have her and all my children in my life.

Its so cold today! and im really trting to refrain from having my gas on all day as its so bloody expensive! so we are all wrapped up running around playing games.

On the crafty front I have a layout to share and I have so many projects going on at the moment I think i really need to sit and finish at least one haha
I love the pictures in the layout, its nevaeh sat watching the christmas excitment going on! she looks so bewildered! she often likes to sit and people watch as I call it, its like it relaxes her and then she nods off lol

Connor is home, he was released from the hospital last night thanks goodness. He is doing well, lost alot of weight and is still not eating right and is still suffering from after effects of a virul infection but hes getting there!

Right now the two girls and jason are in bed laid up with the same virul infection I had! Im all better, I still get biuts of dizziness ( dad says nothing new there tut ) but am all good!

So thought I'd share a pink paislee page I did of Nevaehs adorabe tootsies when she was a week old. I adore the pop fashion range and used it here, with a bit of maya road and soe papermania adhesive pearls ( I love these ) and some crakle paint. The butterlies are double sided adhesive ones so i sprinkled them with a little glitter. i wated to keep the page simple and Im in love with white backgrounds atthe minute .

Has anyone seen the WR Memory keepers and MME sneaks peeks on BECKSblog if not take a peek some lushness on there I tell ya!
Ok im going to finish my stuff for the scrpabook apprentice!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2009-01-01T11:33:00.002Z

I hope you all enjoyed your night, and I wish you all the very best for 2009

2008 I learned alot, I learnt I am a fantastic mother and I'm not affraid to admit it! I learnt how to take criticism and use it to my benefit, that I don't have to be fantastic at everything just to excel in the things i am good at and keep trying at the things I'm not so good at.That I found my soul mate, i already knew this but the support Jason has given me just proves he is meant for me and to keep trying to aim for the things i want to achieve.

So whats in store for 2009,I don't have a plan, cause I don't plan things.I know I am going to be on top this year, not something i want to discuss but I know where i want to be. As for the simpler things, i am going to be ready in plenty of time for birthdays and Christmas ( or at least I will try ). To save for a holiday this year,to spend as much time as possible watching and enjoying my children grow as it goes far to quickly and to live everyday like its my lst with no regrets ( something I have always stood by but become to scared to do so ).

So that's me
Whats your hopes and dreams for 2009 lemme know I love to read peoples aspirations
sending you all lots of blog land love

Ok Ok I know I know, im only 3-4 days ( i've lost count ) late I think ??? Life has been soooooooooo hectic! Life has taken over, when did I become a woman? When did I become that nagging other half that never seems to be happy? when oh when did i start to sound like my mother!!!!!! The past 3 weeks thats when... Ive turned 26 which went down like lead ballons.... i wasnt looking forward to being nearer to 30 than 20 as my darling toyboy other half a slip of 23 keeps informing me of... tut ! I have been running around the house mumbling to myself infact take that back arguing to myself that nobody does anything but me!!! And boy oh boy I shocked myself today when i actually realised i am my mother! Yep I love my mum to death but do i want to be her hellll noooo! I want to be me. Ok so life has gotton on top of us, ontop of family life, ontop of me and us time and has caused a bit of strain, but its fixable right?
Nevaeh is teething, and just generaly seems to be quiet miserable lol, ashaara has hit the terrible twos and likes to put her fingers in her ears while singing while im trying to point out that red pen does not look good on my cream leather sofas! Connor is driving me round the benddd with his what ifs, when and how do i's and to top it off jason just doesnt seem to understand the stress and hecticness of runnign a household, 3 children and a job! and then he says have you scrapped pppppffffff yeah course I have inbetween tea, ironing, work bath time bedtime and sleep!
Then the mother of all problems on a freezing cold day in October my boiler gets CONDEMNED YEP YOU READ RIGHT THEY TURNED OF MY HEATING, HOT WATER AND COOKER because I have a gas leak ,ok fair enuff its better to be safe, but where am i supposed to find £2700 for a new boiler???? so im sat here infront of an electric fore which by the way have ate £18 electric in 12 hours!!! thinking can it get any worse!
3 months before Im looking to get it fixed! luckily mum n dad live next door so we are using their bath and hot water!

The titleless post

2008-08-20T09:48:00.006+01:00

Its title less cause I really cant think of one lol!

Awww I am an auntie! for the first time, meet my gorgeous nephew Baby lol cause he has no name! born 13.8.08 at 6.30pm weighing 6lb 11oz

Awww and that's my little brother ( love you Scott) who is a daddy now lol so i guess hes not so little anymore!

Well whats new, can you believe my 9 week old is sleeping through the night already ?? yep its true shes in bed at 8 and wakes at 6.30!!! hoe lucky am I. I must say I am a stickler for routine though all the kids have baths at the same time every night, followed by a hot drink a story then bed for 7.30 no questions asked! I mean every night lol Connor is allowed to watch a film in bed if its a weekend of school holidays, but I think routine is really important, I mean when they go to bed its me time or me and jas time so its important that I stick to a routine, because with us both working its very rare we get time alone!

So i scrapped last night, in a quiet chilled from listening to the radio and I loved it! I fond it one of the best ways to relax and wind down, although I sometimes find my mind racing with ideas when I go to bed lol.
Here's what I produced..

Journaling reads

Ashaara I simply adore your gorgeous long eyelashes, they frame your stunning big brown eyes, that you got from your daddy! Everybody always comments on how stunning both your eyes and lashes are, I'm so jealous of them. So I'm glad you inherited your daddy's eyes because they are truly amazing just like you xx

I'm still awaiting my pink paislee and narratives stuff from the states tut! I sooo wish we had more craft shops around here i don't think you can beat buying IRL don't ya think? I like to get my fix there and then lol oh well I guess it will be here soon ( Fingers and toes crossed its today I'm impatient lol)
Here's a pic of nevaeh smiling! She is so gorgeous I just want to eat her lol but then I wouldn't be able to look at her.

Anyway I'm off to watch the rest of Jeremy kyle as we are having a lazy pj day today and casting our hand and footprints!

Connor is off school, ashaara is hitting the terrible twos and nevaeh has colic!!!! all equals me running round like a headless chicken till i collapse on the floor in a heap dying from lack of sleep, food and adult conversation ha ha.

Other than that its been a normal week or so. I think its hard to remember past this morning at the minute everything is upside down.

Nevaeh has got reflux and so has been a bit of a handful, looks like we have it sorted though now with the help of some trusted medication (infacol lol) . She has been a poorly bunny though really unsettled and generally ratty! so Ive been tired and unsettled and generally ratty ha ha.

I really cant believe this is our summer! how pants! the sun hasn't even shone i don't think this week in sunny old Blackpool ( mind the pun ) I have lots of pretty little dresses awaiting to be photographed on my gorgeous little girls tut.
Connor is off school today due to the striking for more pay and then breaks up on Friday so I have my hands full lol best get used to it though eh???

Have a few crafty things to share with ya! AT LAST. I'm in the process of making a mini album of our holiday to Florida in 06 before i had ashaara and here's what i have done so far .................

The album is a 6x6 American crafts d-ring modern album i just adore these albums and am starting on a little pink one of nevaehs entrance to the world.

2 other lo's in my the new size 6x12 and 12x6 I must say i love this size love it love it love it! so easy to work with. Used all AC products on this some new and old .....

Have been working with my dozens kit too but have some finishing touches to put to the lo's yet! I'm working on so many different things at the minute ha ha keeps me busy though.

2008-07-02T13:06:00.006+01:00

Finally a chance to update!
YEAAHHHHHH
Gosh I'm loving life right now, i was expecting to feel tired and emotional and like I was riding a roller coaster most of the time , but I feel on top of the world, yeah I'm still a little tired in the day but I', loving having all the family at home together. Be warned it may all change when jas goes back to work on Saturday lol and I'm left looking after and managing 3 kids all on my own. But just watch this space haha.

Have been doing little bits of crafting at the nights, especially when nevaeh wont sleep lol gives me the perfect opportunity to scrap.

First of I found this fab tutorial on how to make a carousel so I had a go at making my mum one to say thanks for being at the birth and holding my hands.
here's my attempt....................

I used k&co papers and just some random embellishments. I plan to make another for myself but just haven't got around to it yet.

Some pages I did before having nevaeh but just haven't had time to upload ....

I'm still breastfeeding, which I'm surprised about after having had mastitis and now getting it again! OMGOOOODDDNNEEESSS its painful!! and they say you have to keep feeding to get rid of it! that's even more painful! but I'm trooping on. Don't think il carry on if I get it again though lol.

Nevaeh is starting to fill out a bit now, you can see her face more now its not so scrawny lol
latest pic taken through the bars of her crib this morning ....

The poor child has her fathers lips and nose just like ashaara lol! but alot less hair it has to be said! ashaara was born with a mountain of hair where as nevaeh hardly had any at all .

Ok that's me for now
am off to feed through the pain haha

I did not want to go out this morning and walk connor to school! It was such an effort but it does me good to walk and keep on going so i got on with it lol plus there was no one to moan to cause jas is at work tut!

Spent the wee hours of this morning making some more lo's and a little wall hanging, hey at least im getting ontop of all my piccies ( till new baby comes any how)

So heres the latest 2 using the gorgeous lines from cosmo cricket honey pie and cogsmo which are just so easy to work with cause all the elements are inside the paper crafting 12x12 kits!

Other thing i made is just a little door hanging which is actually going on my wall along with all my other projects that i make for my scraproom. Used mostly pink paislee.

Not much on the cards today to do just gonna take it easy and make connors birthday banner for next week, yep my baby turns 7 next week!!! time flies I tell ya doesnt seem to minutes ago he was born weighing 2lb 40z 14 weeks early and with less than 20% chance of survival, after going through many illnesses and operations my baby boy is now a strapping young lad with a smile to die for!!!

Anyway am off to go eat something.

Creating through the pain

2008-06-16T11:47:00.005+01:00

Well yep u guessed it im still here! still in slow labour contracting every 5 minutes just not dilating! this is a nightmare havent slept in 5 days literally i mean ive had like 2 hours a night max and that isnt undisturbed.

So last night I tried to focus my energy lol and do some scrapping just to try keep me sane really ha.
heres the results

Ashaara loves to play with connor's trucks and cars lol infact she likes to do anything that boys do especially climb! Used mainly sasssafras with a bit of pink paislee and scenic route , plus lots of hand stitching!

Next page was another simple one really, decided to use some of my stamps and colour them using my watercolour pencils. Used pink paislee (again) making memories, ki memories, brads, glitter, corrugated cardboard and stamps.

pics..........

Believe it or not it did kmind of help to keep busy rather than concentrate and get frustrated with the pain! may try again tonight if she doesnt decided to come!

Ashaara is poorly too at the minute just a general bug I think bless her all she is doing is sleeping!

She enjoyed her first 99 ice cream the other day and i managed to get such adorable piccies....

Anyway thats it for now im off to polish the floor !( DONT LAUGH IT MIGHT WORK)

Lo to share with you all, its for ashaara's album ( of course haha) its so much easier to scrap girls than boys dont ya think? Anyway its about my love for her cherry bobbles. Do you remember these? gosh I love them .
Again I used some of the k&co berry sweet range the colours are just so fab and bright love em! some handmade buttons, bit of hand stitching, fasinatior, doodlebug alpha, love elsie betty ribbon and some laser cut paper stuff.

pics............

Weather was glorious here yesterday ( not so good today though) and we were in the garden having ice pops with the kids and i managed to capture ashaara eating her first ice pop which was very funny indeed as she kept trying to eat it from the bottom and was licking the wrapper more than anything haha!

cant wait to scrap these! they are so adorable!
Im contemplating purchasing some acrylic albums, I do love them but find mini books intimidating for some reason lol. But banana frog have some fab albums on sale at the min so may just have to have a play.

Anyway thats it for now.

bad day!

2008-04-30T20:07:00.002+01:00

Ok sorry to moan but ive had a really really really bad day! I had to go to the specialist for a check-up as ive had 2 premature children. Anyway I get there and she says the contractions i have been getting are not braxton hicks... so a 20 minute appointment turned into 3 hours n the local hospital.... as the neck of my cervix is opening! early again.. so I had to have the dreaded examinations 3 times over steriod injections of which i have tgo go have more tommorow antibiotics incase its and infection and harms the baby then 1 hr on the fetal monitor!!!! enuff said lol.

The specialist has made an appointment for a scan on the 14th may and another review but shes prepairing my body ready for delivery and she doesnt think i will go that much longer.........................

So I've got to rest and try and get to 35 weeks which is only 3 weeks so lets hope i get there. I mean im not even ready havent got a pram or anything yet lol

Anyway ive had my moan now.

Have done 3 pages for my brothers album for his baby boy due august, havent taken any pictures yet il wait till i've finished it. It's so much harder doing LO's without any pictures!! I never realised lol but im getting there.

Ok thats enuff for now, im going to watch the macann documentry.

2008-04-24T14:33:00.004+01:00

I managed to capture Ashaara throwing a right hissy fit on camera this morning! It's unusal for me to have any pictures of her crying cause she's always so happy, but...........I'm trying to stop her having her dummy (worst thing I ever gave her) and she was tired! I ended up giving in bad i know but i was so tired myslef didnt sleep well last night at all.
so here is the moment my angel grew horns.................

and then the silence......................

At this point I thought thank the lord for dummies haha.

Had an appointment witht the midwife today, im still measuring slightly smaller(29 weeks and im almost 31) and blood pressure is slightly high but im trooping on. Got to go and see the specialist next wednesday for a growth scan and to have steriod injections to mature the baby's lungs as I always seem to have premature babies haha.But at least all is good and only 7 and a bit more weeks to go.. if I go full term, i really need to get a shift on and buy some things that we need ive been so lazy tut.

Anyway nothing crafty to share for now
back later maybe as jas is of out with the boiys so may get a chance to scrap if my energy levels rise a bit

Anyway a few pics to set u off thinking you need to go buy some stash..... haha.....

sorry pics are not fabulous, was sat at my desk and really didnt have the energy to get up!! Was at work yesterday and it completly took it outta me, then came home and cleaned up and got ashaara ready for bed etc... was ready to sleep myself then, but thats near impossible with the size of my belly lol.

Here's a pic of ashaara, just thought i'd put em up cause I think they are so cuuuutttteeee......

Haven't done anything scrapping wise. Think i've lost my mojo or something. Just can't seem to get motivated at all to do anything.

Morning all ( depending on what time you come by)

2008-04-20T09:42:00.005+01:00

Firstly I'd like to say a huge big thankyou to everyone who commented and wished me well made me feels loads better! so thanks- again lol. Feelin a whole lolt better about being pregnant for now haha, not long to go, i had my son connor at 26 weeks he was only 2lb and in special care for 16 weeks, then i had ashaara at 34, she was a healthy 5lb 13oz so judging by my past record i may opnly have around 4-5 weeks left haha.

Got a LO to share with ya all, I adore this picture of ashaara cause she is always so natural looking when i take her picture ( i guess that has something to do with her age) and is more than willing to stand and pose.

I just messed around with loads of different products really on this lo and used my CR for the "just too" part of the title.

When DD came back from birmingham she came with her hair plaited, as she is missed race she has really afro curly hair ( which i adore) but boy is it hard to manage! So her aunty Zosha plaites ( cant spell it lol ) for me cause i just havent got the patience. Trouble is it only lasts a matter of days if im lucky. So last night I had to sit and take them all out tut! and now this is what she looks like.......

now who said the Don King look isnt attractive lol! connor says shee looks like sideshow bob out the simpsons haha, so later ive got to comb all the curls out wash it, comb it again, wash it again then cream it .............. see you at tea time lol. It's a long process, buit she wont be havin it plaited for a while now.

Anyway I'm off for now , gonna bath the kiddos and myself then after lunch maybe do some scrapping if the kids let me lol
bye for now

2008-04-13T16:09:00.005+01:00

Well........ the kids are NOT home ( wipes tears lol) they are not coming back till tommorow now, was looking forward to seeing my babies, feels like forever since i have given them a cuddle, and, and i'L be at work tommorow when they get home (wipes more tears) . So i've been keeping busy and scrapping yeahhhh a plus side a guess but only a small one lol.

So i started my birth announcment cards heres a sample what do ya think?

supplies used:-
hero arts clear designs baby girl stamps
twinkling H20's
stick on pearls
baby girl ribbon
fancy pants sassy pin
glitter (of course)
pink brown and cream card
overton house designs paper pink and brown spots

I have made it so I can include two pictures inside.

Also done a layout of my baby girl ( well shes not a baby anymore but nevermind lol) This one just kind of took off on its own , I wanted to use my Making Memories grommet tool and so used it for the missle of the flower. I still might add some journalling across the bottom as i feel the need to fill the space.

Supplies used:-
imaginasance paper
wire
blooms
mm grommets
big brad
mm shimmer alphabet
around the block big brad
chipboard
3d paint

Finally I bought 4 box frames from wilkinsons teh other day were a bargain at £3 so as I always do things about the kids thought i would make these about me and jas. I want to hang them in a set of four so they make a square shape if you understand me if not sorry lol. So heres the first one in the line up

Used far to many products to list lol. I did use my new prima frame stammps though to frame our picture and i love it . Used some making memories and k&co and lots of others haha.

So I have had a busy day , nothing to do till jas gets home at around 7ish so I may go do some more now. Don't forget to leave a comment on the post below for a chance to win my RAK.

So anyway i am 26 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child which we have found out is another little girl! Which overjoyed me cause i love little girls lol dont get me wrong i adore and worship the ground my handsome son walks on but girls are so much easier i think .So i completed the first page of her album which announces that she is a girl lol so the pics are here, the lo is a scrapliuft of shimelles in last months inspirations mag.... well the front cover idea is anyway , thought it was a fab way to showcase my mm paper which I adore.

Feelin really tired today, ashaara has got a cold and so is not her usual self and connor has been playin up rotten demandin all my attention as always! hope he grows out of it soon.

Thats it for now as im off to bath the kids, read them a story and settle them down before havin a soak myself then relaxing ( not sure how yet though) and wait for jas to get home, i never see him these days if hes not working then i am and so on anyway il stop rambling

time for an update me thinks!

2008-03-12T11:35:00.003Z

Hey all
just thought id share some pictures of my nearlly finished scraproom!! yeahhh at last just gotta get an expedia bookcase from ikea finish the beading on the floor put on the door and of course add more home decor items which i have been busy doin!

Of course it had to be pink i love it the rose wall paper on the feature wall sets it off a treat! i added cream curtains to break it up a bit. Baskets on the floor were a bargain at £10 FOR 3 and are waiting to go in my bookcase when it comes, the pink canvass drawers are from argos as is the computer desk and pink chair all cheap but look lovely.

Ive sorted allmy stash into brands as i find this easier so they have their own basket or drawer. Apart from alphas i have seperated them into chipboard, stickers rub ons etc.. took ages to sort everything but its so much easier to find things now.

Got loads of new stash the other day from work so will upload some piccies after ned to charge my camera.

Thats it for now as i have both kids ill with the sicky bug and connor is off school. so back later

a quick quote that got my heart

2007-10-10T12:57:00.000+01:00

Life is not a spectator sport,
win,
lose or draw,
the game is in progress,
whether we want it to be or not.

Play hard,
play fast,
play loose and free,
play as if there's no tomorrow.

this quote says it all to me, for one i have been feeling a bit what can i say urmmm inadiqaute(sp?) and lost and like im just existing latley, iread this quote and its totally true!

ok just a quickie as i have walls to knock out hehe

AHHHHHGGGGGGGGRRRRRRR

2007-09-13T16:22:00.000+01:00

I hate food shopping! I hate it Ihate it I hate it. Ok lol rant over! Uno the worst bit, unpacking you spend 15 mins paking it up at the checkout strugglinh because the lady goes to fast and has no consideration for your poor hands going like teh clappers! then you get home and spend an hour putting it away! Anyway how are we all today?

Had a busy day, went to visit some friends with my mum they are a nice couple spent 2 hrs chatting then of we went up to morrisons ashaara in tow, she was a star not a murmer outta her at all all day! :-) shes an angel. Any way time i got back on my diet i thought to myself, and start to get fit again lol, this timeim determind, anyway i went in search of low fat, apitizing ( if they exists) low fat meals yeah right! why is it food that is low fat costs more! no wonder we are turning into a nation of fatties who would pay 70p extra because its 50% less fat, do that on every item and you double your shopping bill. TUT!

Ok got some lo to share just going to nip over to dads so i can borrow lol his card reader . So take a peek back.

wednesday love!!!!!!!!

2007-09-12T11:14:00.000+01:00

hey bloggers, how are we all today?

Ive had a morning of it today, first i think i woke up on the wrong side of the bed which in turn made it worse for eveyone else this morning as i was snaping and banging around while mubbling to myself how much i hate getting up to a messy house! I swear we have elfs that coem in and make a mess in the night because im damn sure i left it tidy went i went to bed last night! Which i might add was at 9pm as i was shatterd and i slept till 8am so thats prob why i woke up griggy, dont u find that the case? the more sleep you get after being used to gettin a few hours you feel worse or is it just me?

Ok decided on the pressie im getting DH for his birthday as well as his playstation 3 and slouch pod chair ( hes spoilt i know) but its a secret shhhhhh so after his birthday i will tell you all lol, heres hoping he doesnt read this now, i doubt it as he pretends to take notice when im talking about my blogging world and friends or scrapbooking and new products but i swear he hears chinese ramblings instead cause he never remembers when i bring something up! Tut!

Ashaara has gone down for her nap, so after ive done this i wanna go finish a page a started for a competition although i probably wont il end up surfing the net and before i know it she will be awake it will be dinner time then time to get connor from school lol,, i can see ya smilin i know you are guilty of it too!

Will have some pics to share later in my darling dad lets me use his computer as our card reader still isnt working double tut (im doing alot of that today arnt i ) so yeah check back later for some altered projects ive been doing
hugs

Not sure what about just feel like i need to let of sum steam! First the stupid card reader isnt working so i cant upload the layouts n holiday pics n stuff i wanted too , then my paypal accountisnt working so i cant pay for my new stash tut! Then i burnt the lousy garklic bread i was having for my tea, yes a garlic bread! huh i nkow but it fills a hole and when ur cooking for one !

The children have been horrors between connors moans of Muuummmmyyyy and ashaaras cries to be picked up , ive managed to pull a handfull of hair out and give myself a headache.Now i sit down in peace and quiet to do what i want and nothing works tut!

Ok think im done for now hehe

2007-08-23T13:28:00.001+01:00

Holiday was amazing i wanna go back! me n jas partied hard lol till 7 am most mornings infact. Was great although i missed the children dreadfully i would almost certaily do it all over again! hehe malia is gorgeous we were in a little quiet original say part of the town only 10 mins from the main strip but our part was so quiet with little greek old women sittin in chairs outside like something outta the dolmeo advert hehe. Phillip and helen were great too, helen is a gud en to go partyin with lol she likes her drink just like me lol well i dont but when i go out i like to erm try the tastes shall we say lol

On the business front the princess trust have put up £4000 towards starting up still need to find £3500 before we can get up and running . Both me and jas jave been researching and finding premises and business bank accounts etc... so hopefully were on our way!
