What a Day!

It's just coming up to quarter past four in the afternoon and I have just literally got back to the house and managed to sit down for five minutes! Was up all night with toothache and managed to get in with the Emergency Dentist at the hospital this morning who told me my abscess is back and has given me some anti-biotics to try and calm it down. Since then, have been dropping off Christmas presents here, there and everywhere but did manage to fit in a visit to Santa - the boys were so excited and I can't quite believe that Lewis, who is eleven, still believes in him! Think he is having doubts though as he's asking alot of questions about him and when Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas, he reeled off a list of the presents which are hidden in my wardrobe - very suspicious!!!!

You'll be relieved to hear that I have no Christmas cards to show today! Instead, thought I would show you the gift bags I made a friend and the boys' Teachers. I only had the brown ones so just decorated them with some paper, etc. I've been dying to use this High Hopes stamp since I got it and just couldn't pass up on the chance!









Stamps: High Hopes

Colouring: Promarker

Papers: Cricut

Extras: Glamour Dust, Cricut Machine, Papermania, SU Scallop Edge Punch

Going to put my feet up for half an hour and grab myself a nice glass of wine and try to unwind. Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Ooooh Jo I love these bags, I need to make a bag for my niece to put her Weight Watchers biscuits in .... yeah thrilling I know but its better than falling off the wagon ... Christmas is gonna be hard enough as it is. Had some of those image sent to me in a RAK, might have to use one to make a top thingymajiggy for my bag. Thanks for the idea. Glad you got ur tooth sorted and hopefully you'll be feeling better soon! hugs Jillix

Sorry to hear you've got toothache again. Nothing worse, mine has just settled down after 2 weeks! Why does it always seem worse at the weekend when its a struggle to get to see a dentist? Hope the antibiotics kick in soon.

Gorgeous bags Jo, love the stamp, another one to go on my wish list!

Oh, arent I the lucky one... the blue bag is my Christmas present from Jo, and it even better in real life than in the photo... I must confess that Sam caught me shaking it, but he promissed not to tell... hehe.
I do hope these new antibiotics kill that abcess, and you will be pain free by Christmas

Last of the Whipper Snappers (for the moment!!)

Morning all......is it morning already?!! Had a very hectic night.....got woken up at 1.30 am with the sound of vomit bouncing off the landing carpet!! Sam wasn't very well and didn't quite make it to the bathroom so spent most of the early hours of this morning trying to clean the landing carpet, the carpet in his bedroom, washing bedclothes and cleaning him up!!! Eventually got to bed at 4.30 am then was woken at 9.15 this morning by Sam asking me if I was getting up because his tummy was empty and he was hungry!!! Got to love 'em!! Anyway, at least he's feeling better. Got to try and phone the Carpet Cleaner in a minute and order Sam a new mattress as his is ruined....oh the fun of being a Mother!! Back to business now, here's a card I made during the week with one of my new Whipper Snapper arrivals. I don't know how often I will use this stamp but it was a case of "ooh, it's so sweet, I've just got to have it!!" I've coloured the snai...

I've Been Busy!!!

It's funny what happens to me when I lose my internet connection so I can't do any blogging.........I end up doing some crafting!!!! Well that's what happened yesterday afternoon and evening....my internet connection kept flicking on and off probably due to all the bad weather we experienced. Not quite so windy today but the rain is continuous! I actually finished my Easter Egg bags yesterday whoo hoo!!! Well, I say finished, I've got three more to put together but I have coloured the label and everything but I need to go to Asda and buy some more creme eggs and I'm not going anywhere today because I'm due a parcel delivery....hopefully, my camera! I hope you're ready for these photos....I was just going to put one picture on but thought hey, I had to suffer making them, they should suffer looking at them!!! The photos aren't very good I'm afraid and I'm proud to say that not one chocolate egg was harmed during the making of these bags......in ot...
