Exciting News!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to be a grandmother!!!!! how exciting is that? Tracey is due in June and I couldn’t be happier though it was not planned and they are so young, no younger than I was when I had Jodi I suppose.

And of course my darling son is in a real panic, he now has to get a better job RIGHT NOW! lol, he’s been happy being a baker but it doesn’t pay that well and he wants only the best for his family. he’s so sweet and so excited but also scared. I am so glad that he feels he can call me and talk when he needs to. And they have just brought a laptop with a web cam so now we talk on web cam a couple of times a week as well.

but most importantly I am going to be a NAN!!! And I get to spoil this wee person rotten lol….cant wait.

anyway right now I am still a Mum and this Mum has to take her wee Auntie-to-be to bed lol.

Good Night all

A Healing?

I had a rather strange appointment with my GP today. He is trained in trauma healing, teaching people how to deal when they have gone through a trauma in their lives like I have. After being so depressed for a while now I decided it was time to seek help so last week I went to see him and he made another appointment for me to see him today for some more in-depth help. it was all a bit bizarre in the fact we didn’t really talk about what happen and 5 minutes after walking into his office we both walked out and went down the road to grab a coffee!!! Never done that before. I suppose it was a way to make me relax and I suppose it worked. It wasn’t easy not so much reliving but reviewing my life before, during and after what happened (which I wont go into) but I think it has helped. Time will tell. But now I am exhausted!!!

I spent the better part of this afternoon playing with my silhouette, i just love it! I finished making the embellies for the Scrap the Girls fairytale swap and made a few bits a bobs for the fun of it. I have been making things for Katie’s room, her wardrobe door is now covered with birds and unicorns and allsorts lol

hope everyone has a good night, I am off to play farm town on facebook lol

night night all

It’s No Use Crying

No use crying over spilt glitter! Katie, my sweet, darling, daughter decided to start the day with a spot of scrapbooking. And because I am so very clever, I left my 3 favourite colours of Doddlebug sugar coating glitter on the table last night. I now have one new colour and 3 jars of it!

I didnt know whether to laugh or cry until Katie used the big eyes and the cute wee "I sowwie Mummy" then I just had to laugh, especial with her sweet wee face all covered with glitter shinning in the light. It will be weeks before I have got all the glitter off the floor, chair and table but it could have been worse, my laptop was sitting open right next to the glitter….just imagine what she could have done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

on another note, you may have noticed my rather erratic posting of late. I have been rather erratic with everything of late. I went to the doctor for a routine check up yesterday and ended up in tears, seems I am more than a little depressed, hence the lack of motivation for anything. So he has given me something to help me sleep and next week he is going to help me with some coping mechanises. Hopefully that will help because I really don’t need any more drugs than I already have to take.

Anyway now I am off to wash the floor and try and get rid of more of this glitter. Hope its not raining where you are, it is here…again

take care

A couple of things to share

I have to share this wee video I took of Katie last night. she was trying to avoid going to bed by hiding under it. She can be so cute! I might note that it took another hour before she was in bed asleep lol.

the other thing is for all those that have Quickutz Silhouettes or Cricut’s this will be very handy and save you a lot of money on cutting mats.

I found a website that shows you how to make cutting mats for your electronic cutter, at the Quilling Patch there is an excellent tutorial on how to do it. Since I don’t really like using spray adhesive and it is kind of hard to get repositionable spray on adhesive  in my part of the country anyway, I found some glue at Spotlight that does the trick fantastically, its called Craft Smart Off “N On Glue and its so easy to use. I use a foam brush and simply brush it over the mat, leave it to dry for about 10 minutes and the mat is all sticky again. I am still looking for somewhere to get thin enough plastic sheets from so I can make a couple of mats so if anyone knows where I can get some please let me know.

I also used a thicker sheet of plastic, off an old clear file folder, and made a sticky mat that I use to hold small bits that I have cut using the Silhouette when I want to put glue on them or don’t want to use them straight away but don’t want to lose all the little bits. Its so handy!

give it a go and let me know how you get on. Now I have a mini book and a layout to finish so have a great weekend all. Hope the sun is shining at your place, it is here…but its still cold! Thanks for stopping by
