Hello lovely peeps,
What the blogging heck is going on now? Blogger & I are so not friends, I haven't been able to upload on my blog & visiting some blogs has been a nightmare as I keep getting service unavailable & an error code, is it just me peeps or is blogger being naughty for everyone?
I am loving this beautiful weather we are having, we've made a start on sorting the garden out but have spent pretty much all weekend shopping! Hubby is one of those unusual men who loves to shop so we've ended up buying decking, a gazebo, blinds for the kitchen, plants, a set of 3 new telephones so I will have one in my craft room again, not that I even like the phone but hubby wants a phone in my craft room as he can never get hold of me as I can never find my mobile, paint for the porch, a camera, 2 new computer mice, wallpaper & paint etc ready to decorate Jodie's bedroom as she insists she isn't going to be leaving home, ever! I think that is sooooo selfish of her as she's got a lovely big bedroom which would be a perfect craft room lol.
Today I have something very different for me to share! Jodie will be 21 next year & she's asked if I can make her a scrapbook which had me in a bit of a panic as I've never attempted a scrapbook before.
I made my first attempt on Thursday when Ali & I had our craft day, & it wasn't easy as while I was making it I had to quickly & discretely pop in my craft room & hide the Star Doo Hickey which is part of my candy & keep an eye on that naughty Ali to make sure she didn't find it as she wanted to use it & intended to then put it back in the packet, which would have meant whoever wins my candy would have a second hand Doo Hickey, & there was no way I was going to let her so this lead to our usual shouting match, well craft day just wouldn't be right if we didn't have a yell at each other lol. That's you named & shamed Mrs Irish, now go hang your head in shame you cheeky mare & go buy your own Doo Hickey lol.
