Nice bit of crumpet.....

Cat lurve....

Yummy cupcakes

We made and decorated cupcakes today.  No doubt they will vanish in seconds as soon as everyone arrives home later!  We made some to suit everyone - mini ones, big ones, coconut ones, vanilla ones, smarties ones (such a shame that Canadian Smarties are in such boring colours and flavours), sprinkles ones.....and two different icing/ frostings...

My baby certainly got a workout:

Spotty :)

Sams spots are all dried up now and he is no longer itchy - he hasn't been really itchy since about Saturday.  All in all it was a really easy illness to deal with just like it was with his older brothers and Susannah.  Thankfully it happened at a really convenient time for us too :)  

Survey says....

I saw this on  Paper View  and thought I'd join in!!!


1. Must have scrapbook supply? Glossy accents adhesive!!  I use it for everything!!!   it's my adhesive of choice - I get through a LOT of it!!!  Oh and mod podge!!!  And my fabby snips or whatever they are called - the little scissors from Stampin Up!

2. Why & when did you start scrapbooking?   Before we left the UK I gave each of my children a disposable camera to take pictures of their last Summer in the UK.  I wasn't a scrapbooker but decided to do a layout for each of them of their pictures - so I could frame them for their bedrooms.  I LOVED doing them and became addicted!  It wasn't long before I had filled 16 albums!!!  Yikes!  Now I have about 30 albums full and many MANY mini albums etc....I no longer enjoy scrapbooking, but do enjoy making mini projects of all kinds...

3. Guilty Pleasures?   magazines, long LONG hot baths.....so long that I let all the water out and refill with more hot water!!

4. Two things you want very badly at this moment?   Renovated bathrooms, my Hummingbirds to return.

5. 3 items in your purse?   My lucky $5 casino chip, Guardian angel, maxalt migraine meds.

6. Favorite scrapbook technique or style?  Not a scrapbook style exactly but I am LOVING Junque Journals

7. When do you feel most creative? It varies - often in the afternoons which works out well because the children get creative then....

8. Do you snack while you scrapbook?  No - I don't like to have food or drink near my supplies or craft table!!  No greasy fingers near it either!!  Thats one of the things I don't like about crops - people put food and drink near my work!!!  Gggrrrr!!

9. Do you have a scrapbook confession?   I am not enjoying my current class - but its a fantastic class - it's just that it is very much SCRAPBOOKING based - and I don't enjoy scrapbooking any more - the other classes I have taken have not been focused specifically on scrapbooking so I have LOVED them - but this one is specifically focused on scrapbooking and I am not enjoying it.  But I will save it for when I return to this hobby - which I know I will

10. Favorite TV shows?  Right now the only show I watch sometimes is 'Hoarders' - and it makes me go straight to a drawer or cupboard somewhere and throw stuff out :)  lol!  Seriously!!  I have cleared out soooo much clutter since that series started!  It's FAB!  Even Lloyd enjoys watching that show!

11. Jobs you've had?   delivering newspapers, working in a newspaper/ candy store, working in a department store in the underwear department and then in ladies fashions and then in the handbags department.  I did psychiatric nurse training.  I worked for Hallmark cards, I trained as a counsellor and worked in a womens centre, I ran a dayhome (worked as a childminder) in the UK, I worked in a thrift store (voluntary work)...probably other things but I can't think...

12. What are you listening to, right now?   This second, Sam in the bath splashing about....but generally?  Lady Antebellum....and still Justin Hines


Your turn!!!!!
