OH MY !!!!

Well i am still wondering where JUNE went !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let alone July & August !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



OK We have had such a weird couple of months, from happies to saddies and back again! I really dont know where to start ..............

Crafting has taken a real back seat i am afraid to say, i have been completing the CJs i am in and thats about it until this last week :)

Antonia my DD spent 3 weeks in Alicante at the start of the hols! Then we went to join her for the last 10 day, what a wonderful place! We stayed in a new complex where my dad has a Villa (yeah should have said my DD was staying with him really shouldnt i)

The compelex was called ELDORADO lol lol

Here are a few pics ...


Thats out of the plane window on route to Alicante :-)




One of the many sand sculptures we found on the beach :-)












Thats Aidan when we climbed to the top of the castle in 41* blimey charley it was ot ot ot :-)














Aidan, Antonia and Sophie (my dads step daughter)











guard de civil ... LOL LOL































Fishing down the harbour on the last morning! Everyone had a blast!






















On our way home !!












Pool antics!












Then the day we came home we found a lump on the dog :-(
Took her to the vet that afternoon and he says she needs op to see if its cancer!
Well all went well during the op and the first 3 days she was fine! Then she got poorly :-( (apparently it was gastro - we had a rough few days then with her)

The results came back 5 days later that it was a very rare form of historical cancer and its the most aggressive form eva apparently! So as you can guess we were all hysterical!

And i had the job of going to tell the family (which was the hardest thing i have have ever had to do!
If you have not got a dog/cat then you prob think i am barking! But of you do have one then you will know where i was coming from.

So with it being such a rare form of cancer they have no details to give us! No time, no treatement no nothing! Which i dont know if its a good or bad thing!

THEN .... my poor niece tipped a bucket full of boiling hot water over herself! Burnt really bad! My Sister was hysterical as you can only imagine! She has only just learnt to crawl! So she is still very young! Anyway shes coping ok at then min!


and THEN !!!! ...........

I have had 8 stitches in may hand! AWCH is all i can think about!
I was washing up and sliced through the webbed bit inbetween my little finger and the next one! Straight to the hosp! and was in and out within an hour and half not bad going! Must have seen how white i was and thought we'll get rid of her b4 shes sprawled out on the floor needing a bed too! LOL

anyway had the stitches out about a week ago and it split open nearly srtaight away so its been a tough few weeks not having a right hand!

anyway today is the first day i feel its healing proper! so fingers crossed

right if you have made it this far then thanks xxxx
Ill be trying very hard to keep up with this blogging a bit more promise xxx

what a few weekends!

My sister has been up over the bank holiday! we had a brill time it was just what i needed! few pics of my beautiful nieces ....














then last week we went ot the Paramotoring Nats 2008
Hubby was a marshal and did a free flight ...

This is a mad Irish man just landed ... LOL













This is the UK champion!












My hubby getting ready to take off ...













Hubby in flight (hes the one on the right!)














Now this man ... Gabe ... he has had a few accidents, hes had a run of bad luck and still wants to keep flying, that's how passionate he is about the sport! He still traveled the 6 hours to get here and just watch! Now that's a dedication to the sport!
Here he his with a wing attached to his wheelchair LOL












and a group pic to finish off! These are the few pilots and marshals that were left at the end of the event! Most had to leave earlier!

Thank you !!!

bit of scrapping .... and some news ...

Hubby bought me a BIA for my birfday :-) what a fabby hubby!

so i have made a CJ for the WEYW CJ on UKS

Its a bit different as we have to challenge each person in the circle .. so i thought of enclosing sealed envelopes for them to chose which will hold a colour for them to do their LO (and only use that colour)

I am sure i have seen a CJ like this b4 somewhere ...not really sure ... shame really wish i could give credit where its due, i doubt its all my thinking LOL

TFL xx
Ok the news ... i have stepped down from the DT on papercraft junkies, i just cant give it 110%, they have some new stuff on the go which i dont feel i can contribute to it and if any of you know me i give 110% or nothing, i just hate letting anyone down, and TBH i dont need the extra pressure at the mo!

So Tracey of you ready this .. i wish you all the very best for your up and coming venturs :-) xxxx

what my name means ...... what does yours mean ....

What Melissa Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality.

What's Your Name's Hidden Meaning?
