Am I that good a listener???

I really hate it when I get told stuff. Stuff that isn't nice. Yeah, we all need to vent but I hate being put in a situation between two people; where I know person A is not happy with person B and then person B asks me what person A has said... I don't think I should be put in the situation to have to lie. It's not nice and it's not fair but more over, i'm not doing it. If you want to vent, vent to someone other than me because i'm am sad:( I have been put in this miserable situation with person A and person B. Nuff said.

On a lighter note... http://www.scrapinstyletv.com/portfolio/view_layout.php?layout_id=92234&user_id=561 check this out!!!

Where has the sunshine gone?

Where did the summer go to this year??? We had a few weeks of sun but now we're back to rain and dull miserable days... This little pic reminds me of a rare hot day when Emily and Benji had the bubble machine on overdrive and bounced all day long in the 'bounce zone' (if you see one on sale in elc, get one :) they are the best!) Now though, the weather is so miserable and unlike any September I can remember for at least 6 years. This whole dull and bleary days just makes me wanna stay in bed all day long, i'm sure I was a hedgehog in a former life and hibernated!! ;)

Since I haven't been scrapping for myself just lately ~ like for the past two months! *gasp* I have a) so much stash mounting up and b) have kinda lost my mojo. Not for scrapping tho. Just for scrapping for me, if that makes sense? Scrapping for classes is all about getting timings right and making a class good. With enough techniques to keep it going and not too many products to make it w-a-y over budget... and then it has to be something pretty generic that everyone will dig. I guess my 'style', if you call it that isn't loved by everyone *ha ha* and so I don't want my classes to be a complete flop. So far things are going good :) :) :) I'm very happy over at Sugar and Spice and love every minute of it. I am hpoing that we order in a whole heap of October Afternoon stash tho ;) I need those cute monsters!!!

So, anyhoo! I have lost my mojo. It might be that I haven't printed out pics in sooooo long and infact I think i'm going to order some from snapfish 'cause me and printing is just not going to happen any time soon. New photos always renew my mojo :) Or at least I hope they will.

Lastly, my old lady denture is starting to feel ok. When I say ok, I don't mean that I want to give up on having a bridge... no way! But I am feeling that maybe I can just about live with it until December. Just about.

I'm here!

Firstly, this little boy (although he looks very girlie and is in need of a haircut!) celebrated his 2nd birthday the other day :) He didn't get the whole gift thing. He unwrapped a car first and that was it...! Off he went and left Emily to unwrap the rest (she was v.happy)...

Emily started school too! :) She is going this afternoon too for her last settling session. After that she will be going two sessions a week and I know she is going to love it! She hasn't bothered once about me leaving her and she has made a few little friends :) She is a happy little thing.

For me, i've just been working and working and working. Not that it's a bad thing because it has mainly been at Sugar and Spice...! I have had a few weekends away from London Care, it has tired me out... mainly because we are always so busy there and just because... I have had some more dental work done :( Now no laughing.... I had my extraction a couple of weeks ago then this week I had my temporary denture. I stress temporary! Until December the 8th, which IMO is bloomin' long enough. I feel like I should be drawing my pention. I actually had to go into a chemist and by sterident. To top it all off the dentist gave me a sample tube of fixodent and a leaflet with two old birds on the front, entitled 'Practical advice for denture wearers'... I hear your sniggers ;) Roll on December the 8th!!!

Howdy!

I have been working hard all holiday :) Working at London Care, working at Sugar and Spice (www.sugarandspicecrafts.co.uk), this above (!) as we are selling new kits and we have the best new blog coming together for those kit buyers! and looking after my two littlies, having Kev off work and trying hard to sort out all the major health issues I have and all the other loose ends I have to tie up!

Emily starts school soon :) :) :) And she has three trial sessions before she actually starts for two sessions a week in September! Yay. She is so excited and so am I! Although I have major issues about leaving her, she needs some special school time ;)

Tomorrow we are off to see our friends and their little girl Ruby... who is now one and not a little itty bitty baby. So we are driving over to Epping and off for a nice garden picnic with good friends tomorrow... and a relax too :P

Happy rest of the summer holidays!

I am still here!

... I'm still here. Working hard and what with the school holidays ~ busy, busy, busy! And feeling a little under the weather so hence why i've been neglecting blogland.

I have heaps of pics to post but seens as my SoML kit came yesterday and my Studio Calico came today :) I am far too busy to do posting! ;)

I have a poorly laptop :(

My laptop is going to die soon. I am trying so hard not to use it :( And this is sooooo hard as normally it's on all day long and I dip in and out to my emails. Apologise to all of you who thought I had dropped off the edge of the earth. I haven't honest.

I have missed skirting round your blogs and catching up with you all through emails and forums! I want to hear all about your trip Michelle :)

I took my first two full classes at Sugar and Spice on Sunday, I hope you all liked them. And thank you to Nina for the nice note welcoming me early on Sunday morning when I got there to set up! It made me smile :) The jacobs ladder class did cause alot of giggles... when a few of us had to unstick them a few times or we'd of sent you home with a huge drinks coaster! The house stitching LO went down well and i'm looking forward tro seeing them with piccies in and of course the new LO's you make with the stitching and someof the ideas Jayne was coming up with were fabby!!

I also have a hetic few weeks with work. Since Kev officially breaks up today but then is going in for a few days to tidy up and catch up with marking and tie up ends... I know we have a busy summer ahead of us. We have visitors this week in the shape of Grandad and Paul. I have work on Friday, Saturday and Sunday *phew* I'm going to be pooped! Monday is Studio Calico release day :) :) :) And I have a $10 off code for newbies... On Tuesday I have to post my Studio Calico CJ and I have two days of training at London Care. ( I am not looking forward to this. I have heard mixed reviews... ;) and tbh the whole place is pretty dire just recently) Thursday I have a free day *yay*! Friday is then the 1st of August (seriously where is the year going??) and is SoML release day *hooray for kits* (esp. Sara's) and I have work at Sugar and Spice! Then the Saturday and Sunday I have two demo~ing days at Fidgeons :) I am not going to stop. This is of course all mixed in with housework *ha ha*, childcare, scrapping time and trying to be a dutiful other half *PMSL*...

Well... gotta get on with the mountain of ironing, washing up and of course lunch for my littlies :)

AWOL.

Ok, I have the most valid reason. Don't ever and I mean EVER download yahoo games! Seriously, my laptop nearly died. It has taken this whole time to clear it off and it's still not 100% right. I guess I have learnt my lesson :)

Well, apart from my nasty lil' virus i've been very, very, very busy! Working lots, trying to catch up with washing and general chores around the house. I have been busy thinking about all the birthdays we have coming up in September. We have an unbelievable 6 birthdays and so I have lots of present buying to do.

Emily finally went into her big girls bed, so far we have had no wandering at all!! Except she does call me in to put the duvet back on her at some un-godly hour ;) which is not so good... She has had her birthday present early, in the shape of a spangly pink bike ~ tasles, bells, hooters and all...!

I have been teaching at Sugar and Spice (www.sugarandspicecrafts.blogspot.com) and start my Sunday classes this week! Yay!! :) I am also busy getting the finishing touches to my Fidgeons Demo~ing day on August the 2nd and 3rd!

And of course I have been inundated with beautiful goodies from this special laydee www.story-kits.com/store She really does have the best kits ever. Thank you Sara! x
