The Cupboard Trilogy Challenge No 2 Going Live today!

The http://thecupboardtrilogychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/  Going live today, the second challenge of our newly formed Cupboard trilogy, please hop on over for a chance to win some great prizes and have some fun.  DT work available for inspiration, Here is mine for this month, The challenge was to use embossing, but as I had no access to an embossing machine and my embossing powders were buried under a pile of who knows what, i had to improvise chosing to use some plastic embellishment flowers and a bone folder, What do you think?, I think, maybe a little more practice to perfect the technique but pretty happy with it myself.

Juggling

What a busy few weeks I have had, trying to juggle what seemed like a million different things at once.   Suffering the effects now with a aches, pains a cold (although that appears to be leaving now).    Looking forward to the school holidays and a change in routine,  I will probably regret saying that fairly quickly LOL , once the kids start urguing and I have listened to "Mum, Im bored" for the umpteenth time.  Teenage years are the most difficult I believe No longer a child, but not quite an adult....

Looking forward to the school holidays, and the break in routine.  Although, I guess i will be regretting saying that when the holidays start and the kids begin arguing, and I have heard "Mum, Im bored" for the umpteenth time.

Hopefully, I will have a bit more time for crafting over the next few weeks, I need a bit of me time, to slow down, and take stock of my life........A change is acoming!!!!

Camp........

Well, not  camp exactly, but a rather large house.  Yes its that time of year again and we are taking the Brownies away for the weekend.  Challenging for both Leaders and Girls Alike.  Many have never slept away from home EVER!.  So much to organise before friday, so all thought of crafting is on hold.

Its a rather tight ship this time as 2 people have let me down, so only 2 leaders, a cook and a young leader, usually we have 6 adult leaders.   Lets see how the dynamics change, it should be interesting, and I am sure the few of us that are going will be shattered, we are taking 17 girls, mostly 7 year olds.

Lets hope I dont forget anything as leader in charge I supposed to stay on site, but as the only driver, that might be difficult.....

Another Day...........

How many of us are wishing right now there was another day in the week.   I have such a busy schedule over the coming weeks, I am not quite sure how i will fit everything in......Wedding stationary to finish (for 2 weeks time).  18th Birthday invites to make. for 2 weeks time. Brownie camp to organise, lead and recover from friday week. Then 2 weddings and an 18th to attend in the same week. Lots of other menial things to attend to inbetween.

All this slowed down by the disruptive exam schedule, which leaves my daughter home for much of the time during the next few weeks.   I am finding it really difficult to concentrate on the jobs in hand with this rather lovely intrusion of my usually lonesome days LOL x

Wedding stationary for the lovely Sam & Dave.  Working now on table plans and place names etc.  Love this design.

Will update with clapper board birthday invites as soon as I have completed them.
