Crafteire seems like an age ago now and it was a blast. I managed to do nine classes (yes I am mad) over the two days and managed a LO and a flag book in the cropping room too! One of the classes just didn't do it for me at all but the rest were all fantastic! I LOVED Jane Deans travel journal class, in fact both of her classes were fab, managed to complete two gorgeous LO's in Ambers classes (yummy cherry arte papers!), Beckies Basic grey class turned into a gorgeous birthday card/pressie for Tracy and I have yet to capture a suitable photo of Richard for her metal class but I will! Kirstys classes were packed full and could have done with more time but I managed to complete the bones of both classes and now just have to finish them, I loved what she did with the glossy accents on acetate - will def use that again!
I had the BEST roommates too - thanks girls - even if they did snore! lol!
Since I got back things have been manic with both school and the house and it all got on topof me last wednesday evening and I fainted on the kitchen floor! Ended up inbed witha temp of 103 and was rambling and then noticed that I had developed another coldsore on my eye so had to visit the eye clinic on friday! Have to go back for a follow up visit tomorrow but I think the drugs have worked as my face is almost back to normal now!
I took Abbie to Disney princess on ice last weekend and she loved it so much that she almost stopped breathing - seriously at one point in the show all she could do was point at the ice rink and shake while holding her breath i ended up having to blow into her face to get her to breath so we didn't have to leave, when it was all over we were walking back to the car and she jumped into my arms and gave me the biggest hug and said "My Best Mummy Ever" - my heart just melted! We are off to see high school musical in the everyman this week so I wonder if she will have the same reaction - I currently am in possession of 72 tickets for the show - thekids in school went mad for it when I organised a group rate - I expected that about 20/30 max would go (bearing in mind that there are less than 150 in the entire school) should be a fun evening! I'll probably be singing the songs all weekend afterwards!
Beckie droped over the kids today - she and Ali are here packing up the last of htheir belongings - much to Abbies delight, Matthew was being a bit teenagery (is that a word??) at first and went off to the boat with Richard while I crafted with the girls but had a ball with Beth later on!!!
Beckie and Ali came over for a yummy chinese when they collected the girls and we had a great chilled out evening, Richard and Ali were chatting away like long lost buddies within seconds of meeting leaving Beckie and I to talk craft and the kids to play away - we did all have a laugh when Matthew dashed pastus at one point quicklyfollowed by Beth saying I'm trying to catch him to kiss him! Matthew and Beth also managed a dinner for two at the coffee table while the rest of us were around the kitchen table!
We decorated bags today and Beth and Eilidh made gorgeous bright bags, Abbie insisted on only orange flowers for hers! Here is a peak at the girls work, Beckie got some great photos of the girls modeling their creations which I'm sure she will upload when she gets back to the highlands!
Haven't had much time (or energy) at all for scrapping lately but hopefully might get some time during the week, the next lot of Design collective classes arrived last week and are fab - I really love the giant pegs! Must get me some!
Have also paid my deposit for Lipstick 2008 so better start saving now - it is expensive but not when you look at what you are getting - 5* hotel with all meals included and 18 classes and 6 extra kits! - that what I'm telling myself anyway!
Better hit the sack here, Matthew is going to be calling me bright and early in the morning as he is off on his school tour to Oysterhaven!
