Twisted sketch

I figure that if your mojo won't come to you, you have to go find it. With that in mind I went to the twisted sketch blog for inspiration. This sketch was different for me, not a circles girl usually, but armed with my Cricut (perfect circles everytime!) and the fabulous Cosmo cricket Earth love mini deck, I came up with this. Handily I happened to have these little photo's of my hubby being a big kid. later, C x

Go-Go Storyteller!!

Can't wait for saturday! Even tho my ability to be creative seems to have packed it's bags, I'm hoping that I will find it at Hanham Folk centre on saturday, when the go-go girls come to town.
9.30 til 7pm, 5 classes and some brilliantly creative ladies should make for a scrappin' good day! Have to pack all my equipment ready today, cause I'm doing Mum's hair tommorow.
Also, have got my hands on a copy of Jamie's America, his new cookery book to go with the series, fancy making the Red velvet cupcakes, although when everything has to be made gluten free, it's not as much fun, ah well, watch this space. C x

New beginnings.

That day finally arrived, 2 of my boys have gone back to school! One is the head master, so he had to go back! And the other my youngest son, beginning his final year of compulsory education. I cannot believe where the time has gone. His school career has been a tough one, having to leave his first school because of bullying, a year out being taught by yours truly, then starting all over again at a new school. This time he has to catch a bus at 7.15am into town and then walk for 1/2 a mile. It's not been easy, he still has some of his old fears, but his lovely girlfriend makes it all worth it. He could have had an extra couple of hours in bed this morning, but he chose to meet Hattie for coffee instead, SO sweet. Heres to you my boy, I'm so proud of you M x

It's gruesome, Grissom...

I love these pictures, we've had them a little while, but they make me laugh whenever I see them. Stella looks really guilty on the 2nd one, and tries to hide her shame on the 3rd!This used to be her loyal friend, the Flea.

You were so caught!!

Love that doggy! He he xxx

Is that a pig I see in the sky?..

Probably, because I went to work today!! Yes for the first time since january I did an honest days work, LOL x One of J's secretarys will be out for a few days, and as it's the beginning of term, things are a bit mad. Just doing admin stuff, and again on friday. It feels good, a sense of satisfaction I've not had in a while. C x

What a week...

It's been a tough one family wise, my cousins little girl, Leah, has been really poorly this week. She was transported from Plymouth to the childrens hospital in Bristol, for speacialist care. We've all been carrying our phones around with us, waiting for news. There have been signs of improvment, but there's still a way to go. I created this to send to them, to let them know they are not alone.

I was fairly creative last week. Jon and Dan were at Soul Survivor having a ball, I on the other hand was quite low, missing them loads, hence no blogging ( didn't want to make everyone miserable!) They're back now and driving me nuts!! Here's a glimpse of christmas ( i know, I'm sad!)

I love this template for the craft robo, I think it was from a link on Shimelles blog.
These were inspired by Amy, at a Stampin' up class I did last saturday.



Well, Jon and Dan are off to Cardiff to see U2 in a bit (V excited) and I'm going to Mum's for chinese! Yum. Will try to be a better blogger xx

Back to reality...

You wait all year for your hols, then it's over in a week!! We had a lovely time on beautiful Dartmoor ( only 2 days sitting in our 12'x30' tin box listening to the rain beating down!) and the surrounding countryside. We visited Looe and Polperro ( although Dan thought the sign said Ploperro!)

These photo's are of Looe taken on the bridge looking in either direction. Was a bit cloudy, but lovely all the same x

We went to Polzeath, so that hubby could live the dream on his body board, and as we were over that way, went to Port Isaac, and they were filming Doc Martin!!

Bert and Al Large!

PC Penhale! Love him!

Auntie Joan!

and the slightly mad Pauline!!

The only characters, noticeable by their absence, where the Doc and Louisa, I did hear a snippet of the script, but I won't spoil series for for anyone!! He he!

We visited other lovely places, but thats another day, bye for now xx
