Hi

I really don't know were time goes. Paul has finally had a week off work (wow) It's been the first week off for I couldn't tell you how long. We couldn't arrange to go away as even up until the Friday before we still didn't know if it would be okay or not. We also didn't want to go away for too long and leave Hannah on her own as it would be the first time left on her own since Chumley died and we didn't want her to get stressed or anything.

We did however manage to get away and see some family as we live away from them and can't always get as often as we'd like. Paul's Dad offered to have Hannah for a couple of days to see how she got on. We went there (Conningsby, Lincolnshire) on the Tuesday and stayed over night. The we went to Hull to visit my family. We stayed a couple of nights in a Hotel as Mum and Dad are in their 80's and only have a one bedroom bungalow and I didn't want to ask my brother as I know how busy they all are during the week and it was nice to have a couple of nights away. It was great to spend some time with Mum and Dad, we also went out to dinner with my Brother Chris, his wife Angie, and one of their sons Tom. We also went back to the Deep which was amazing. We'd not been back there since it first opened 10 years ago. We then went back to Paul's Dad's on the Friday. Hannah had been okay, apart from apparently she sulked for the first day and had a right face on her bless her so to say she was pleased to see us was an understatement. We're hoping to go to Portugal in January and get some time away (Paul's work permitted).

He's has had to go back to Headley Court for 3 weeks so I'm home alone, well I've got Hannah to talk to (at least she won't answer back lol). He will hopefully be coming home on the weekends.

Hope your all enjoying the lovely weather at the moment.

Summer Adorable's Card

Hi

I just love anything Jayne does and the Adorable's range is stunning. Also I love the beach and this scene reminds me a little bit of Scarborough and Whitby that area as Whitby is one of my favourite places in the UK I just love it in that area.

Hope your all okay, have a good weekend. I really don't know were this year is going.

Triple Easel Card

Hi

Sorry I've not been on all week, Paul's actually had a week off work (wonders never cease). I actually can't remember the last time he had a week off work. We've not been able to book a holiday this year as he changed sections earlier on in the year and they all already had their holiday's booked plus all this business with Libya etc. We're hoping to go to Portugal in January he's got about 46 days left to take (not that they will all get taken).

So last Saturday we went to Capture the Magic, a craft shop we love then to Paul's Auntie Eileen's for dinner which was nice then on Sunday we met Helen and Shaun a couple of friends from Hull for Lunch at Peterborough as they had been to Gilwell Reunion for the weekend so it was good to see them again. Monday we had at home then on Tuesday we went to Paul's Dad's and dropped Hannah off then we went to Hull to visit My Mum and Dad as I don't get to see them as often as I'd like to we had a lovely time and really enjoyed our self's. We also went out to dinner with my Mum and Dad and one of my brothers, his wife and one of my nephew's which was great. Then we went back to Paul's Dad's on Friday and stayed over night there before coming home last night.

Anyway back to the card it's a triple easel card I made for Paul for his birthday. It's stamped images from do crafts and edged from Distress inks.

Hi

This is a wedding card that I've made for one of Paul's cousins. I've used a Tilda stamp and have coloured it in using promarkers. I thought I might be brave and join in the challenge on Simply Magnolia.

Hope you all had a nice weekend. We went to Thetford yesterday to a craft fair and had a great day. Got some lovely stamps. I'll have to take some photo's of them when I get chance.

Birthday Card

Hi

This is a card I've done for one of my Sister-in-Law's for her birthday. She used to have a job as a School Cook when they lived up in New Castle but Nick one of my brothers had to move back to Hull for a new job so she had to give it up. Now she just cooks for pleasure and is very good at it. I've used two Tilda stamps and my promakrers to colour it in.

Hubby took the photo's for me he's practising with a new lense he got for his camera with some birthday money. The flower at the bottom was more a purple colour than it's showing.

Hope you like it, any comments would be gratefully received.

Promarkers/Copics

Hi all

Hope your all okay and looking forward to the long weekend. Don't know what we're doing yet, we may go to the Craft Fair at Thetford on Sunday it's usually quite good.

Got a question for you - How can you store either Promarkers or Copics. I started with a box of Copics but they started to run out quickly and someone got me to use Promarkers and I've moved onto them and get on well with them but I can't remember which one you can stand up or lay down. Can anyone help me?

Hope you all have a good weekend.

Engagement Card

Hi All

This is a S.W.A.L.K. stamp that I used for an engagement card for Paul's brothers Wedding Anniversary. I just love these stamps. Sorry for the rubbish photo.

Hope your all okay and had a nice weekend. We had quite one and went to see Paul's Grandparents on his Dad's side, they have a static caravan in Heacham, Norfolk. We took Hannah with is for a ride out who got spoilt rotten by Nanna Johnson. It was a lovely day weather wise so we had a nice time.

Hugs
