Busy week

Hi everyone what a week it has been.
Well the diet lives on, went to weight watchers this week, down another 3lb. Thats
17lb down in 7 weeks, I'm so pleased :)

I had the 2nd full day of my occupational first aid course we were thought how to use a defibrilator among other things. It was really interesting but so much theory. The practical and theory exam is next Tuesday, loads of cramming to do :)

Busy crafting week I got an 8x8 book completed for an order, They even supplied the photos but of course i never got to take photos of the completed book. I had 7 mothers days cards made for people in work for Friday morning, they turned out really well, so much so that i got asked for 8 more which i had to make at lunch time, it was a rush but they got completed :)

I have an order to make two 8x8 scrapbook's. I got some of the photos today so I have to et started on them. I got about 10 easter cards made last night and this morning, I will definately take pictures and post them later

The parade was good fun. The weather was amazing so sunny if a bit chilly :) took loads of pictures here are a few of them.

Happy St Patricks Day

Happy Tuesday every one and Happy St Patricks day. It's a beautiful sunny morning here and we where up bright and early. Town is a hive of activity, all the council workers are preparing fore the parade.
We went down to the park but it was no open so we took an annual d-tour to McDonalds and got Shamrock shakes (mink flavour milk shakes, yum yum) they usually only sell them on paddy's day in our branch. They are so worth a 12 month wait :)

We then went to Belveder House and had a good long walk, it was so nice there. Aoife literally bumped into a friend from school :)
Back home for a bit of lunch and a rest and we are off to the parade at 3.30pm will have loads of pictures to show you later.
Happy St Patrick's day everyone :)

Pictures as promised

Happy Friday
As promised here are some pics of some of the cards i made recently.






I saw a poster last October in the health centre for a comp sponsored by a drugs company, it was titled express yourself. There was a few categories, painting, poetry, stories, photography so i entered a picture and this week i got a letter to say i won a runner up prize out of 440 entries in the photography section. My prize was a €50 one 4 all voucher :)


have a nice evening

March madness

As is the norm lately it's been a while and what a few months it has been.

Aoife has been sick, the short version was after two weeks of coughing she got a slight puncture in one of her lungs and had what we now know to be an asthma attack, it was very scary :( we spent a few days in the hospital but thankfully she is on the mend. She has two inhalers to take and had some steroids for a few days. We have to take her to see the respiratory nurse in the hospital next week and she will do some tests.

Bad news in work - we will have to wait until April to find out if the whole company will be closing or just how many redundancies there will be world wide. For the moment we are very busy but it is totally out of our hands. Fingers crossed it works out for the best.

I went to crafteire in February, had a great time and did some amazing classes. I will get around to posting some pictures. It was great to catch up with all the girls on the crafting circuit, your a mad bunch ! :)

I have been very busy with orders for cards and books, I will put up the pictures of the ones I remembered to take pics of.

Some amazing new stash over on The Scrapbook Store I cant wait for the postie to bring my goodies.

Until I get the pics sorted have a great Friday :)
