Birthday Wishes & Kisses

I'm not sure where the times gone but my eldest has officially turned 12 this afternoon, he's shooting up day by day and the attitude grows at an alarming rate but I do love him loads and loads and wish him a fab Birthday and here he is opening his cards this morning (its a card from the cat in case you're wondering lol)...pressies after School :)





I've been trying to get on top of my Christmas cards this morning and have managed the tremendous amount of 5 lol. I can only show you 3 because one is for a special friend and of course she reads my blog and the 2 are the same.


Supplies: Cuttlebug Winter Scene embossing folder, AC ribbon, Sakura glitter gel pen, K&Co Christmas paper and Catslife Press 'Merry Little Christmas' stamp...sorry its not that clear.



Supplies: BG Mellow patterned paper, Stampin' Up sentiment stamp, EK Success punches, AC velvet ribbon and a Penny Black stamp.

Coming or Going...Absolutely No Idea!!

Its that time of year when my feet never seem to actually reach the floor!!

Back from holiday which was nice but the washing pile isn't so pretty to look at and the washing machine is groaning at me again lol.

Kyle is 12 on Monday and you'd think getting age 12 balloons or even Happy Birthday would be easy wouldn't you...well not if you live in a little town, we have 6 card shops and not one has any balloons, can you believe it and the woman says 'we've got 11 or 13' yeah that will work cos he's 12!!! Can't write what I actually wanted to call her this morning...blah.

I'm also in 3 Christmas swaps one of which is the big Advent one over on UKS so I'm busy scribbling lists of who I've got, what they need, want or have and to add to that I fancy taking part in Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas, well I never said I didn't like a challenge lol.

I want to take a trip to the NEC for the Craft Show so I'm busy nagging my husband to take us and HIS credit card...bless he did buy me the new Making Memories Slice thinking it might shut me up...nah didn't!!

Right before I go and yes I know its late but here are a few Halloween layouts I did using the kit from GottaCraft...go on buy one and scrap your pumpkins or even your monsters :)
