Lucky Me

I am lucky, I know that, beautiful family and great friends. One of which is Kim (Simply Fairies) We met through classes at various stores and just hit it off, I love her honesty, she will tell you straight about things and I like that in a person. Samm, Kim and myself are all part of a neverending RAK and today I got a stunning card from Kim and some delish ribbons too :) I took this picture on my new phone. It has come out really good I think. Darren decided that after Mondays happenings I really do need a phone. I called him at home a few times from the hospital phone but it was hours before the last call and he was getting frantic not knowing what was happening. So something good has come from this, I have a nice new contract phone which means I can use it when I need to, not like my pay as you go that never has credit on it. We decided its not a luxary for me to have this, even though its £15 a month I really should have one.

Happy Birthday to me.. Happy Birthday to me....

OK its not my birthday but it ought to be as I have had three wonderful packets today! Firstly and not photographed is the Stampin up! catalogue. Taken me ages to finally sort out ordering these but they came today. Still have a little SU order coming but its not here yet. In eagerness for SU coming to Europe and England I am ordering a few essential tools that I will need so it wont be as expensive to start off. I dont know if you realise (This is for the UK readers) that you are under SU rules not allowed to demo another persons product IF SU sells it in their catalogue, for instance, the Stampin UP! watercolour pencils, you all know I love to colour, but I would not be allowed (officially) to demo my regular pencils as SU have their own pencils. So even though I do have a zillion other pencils I did need to get the SU ones. You all know how I love to colour so I needed to get these, also one set of the watercolour crayons, which are beautiful and come in the same coloured SU families that we have become to love. I am going to go to bed with this catalogue and make lists of stuff I want, I need ect :) and also the sets that I have already got that are still current. I have a feel I have a LOT more discontinued than current.

OK the next was a fantastic and very generous NEVERENDING RAK from Kimabella :) LOL shes been calling me cazzabella so I thought I would return the compliment.

She sent me a beautiful Bella card, I LOVE it! A fantastic Magnolia stamp, WOW I now have two, one from Samm and one from Kimabella and loads of scrummy Magnolia images :)

How lucky am I?

Thank you Kim!

Next and lastly I got a small order from www.stampingbella.com Pompomabella, the cute one with a new mummy and daddy and a funny phrase to go with my Knitabella stamp (which a friend has brought for me) AND the reason I ordered, Em was raving about these scrummy, beautimous thingies she got, so I had to see them myself. I ordered 4 colours and YES I can confirm these are great.

A good price and you get quiet a few, not like buying something where you get may 12 or 20 things and you dont want to use them! There and plenty here to use and the rest you can stroke :) What fabo colours and I must find something to put them in so I can see them still :)

Silly-o-clock posting

OK 5.45am isnt that silly but I have been up an hour so in my head thats silly-o-clock. Caiden decided he just wanted to moan and groan and roll all night, I must have been woken at least 10 times. So when he woke at 4;45am I felt him and he was wet through, so I brought him down to change him, changed him, re dressed him, gave him some milk and now he is asleep on the sofa. Everytime I tried to pick him up to take him up to bed he woke, so I have given in and am now sitting here in the half dark blogging! What else to do at silly-o-clock!

So I have read my 37 emails, I have yet to go through my blog list (yes I do read my entire blog list - see right - every morning) I have made myself a cuppa and I thought I could ramble on a bit (not like me I hear you say)... we had a nice afternoon yesterday, weather was a bit showery, but we decided to still go to a local steam fair. Well Harvey was so excited it was like he had never been taken out before! We walked around the market stalls and then stopped by a "hot donut" stall. Yummy hot donuts sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon :) YUMMY. Then Harvey and Darren went on a steam engine ride. Harvey loved bumping all around the field in the trailer. Whilst they were doing that I took Caiden to the fun fair and we wont a cuddly snake! Of course when Harvey saw that he wanted to have a go and he won himself a sword! Such a boy! Then we found a giant wavy slide. I wasnt sure if he would like it, but I went up with him, it was 3 goes for £2, an extra £1 if I wanted to come down the slide at the end! LOL I decided to walk down the steps, but was tempted :) He loved it, he bombed down so fast, I am sure his face was a picture, I couldnt see it as I was up the top making sure he got into his mat ok.

Lots of stamping yesterday afternoon as well, but non I can share, its all magazine sutff. I may just show a peek at one part of one. Oh how I love Penny Black. I love Bellas, Stampendous, SU ect ect BUT I will always love Penny Black and I had fun colouring in some Christmas designs and I thouroughly enjoyed it.

Here is a bella card I made for Kim, it was the first of our neverending RAKs. I need to sort Samms out this week. I got Kims done was I was seeing her at my class this weekend so I thought it would be a chance to save a few pennies postage.
