Addicted to Books & Digiscrapping

I can't believe how long its been since I last posted! It really only feels like just the other day, honestly! Life just speeds by these days and I find it hard to keep up. So what have I been up to recently? Not a lot LOL! Just work, home and scrapping! Is there any more to life? So after being away for a while I'm finding it hard to know where to start so how about I get straight to it! Those of you who know me well will know that I am a bit of a lazy cow but recently I made a move to make it a bit more official - I applied for a guest CT stint with the lovely Kate Fairlie of Lazy Cow Designs fame. Her lazy cow attitude towards CTing suites me really well and guess what, she felt that I had what it takes and TADA, it's official I am now a true blue Guest Lazy Cow. I would show you my super cute Guest CT blinkie but blogger gobbles animated gifs up now like nobodies business so if you want to see it you can click on the credits to this page You are ......Bella! Credits he...

Yes I know I've been a bit quiet but I do have a good excuse. After the tonsillitis grudgingly gave way to the antibiotics and bid me a fond farewell, I found to my utter horror that I had developed a head cold. Now while I know intellectually that it is impossible to catch a cold via the internet, I would like to point out that my friend Carol is currently in the grips of a nasty cold - coincidence?? I DON'T THINK SO! LOL. Only joking Carol...... Well I tried to take it easy this weekend and I didn't do much housework at all. Tasha has a cold too so we lay around not doing much at all, and of course Bella was happy playing on the computer for all hours. Hubby was working like a demon in the back room to prepare the new wardrobes (plastering, sanding and painting) for the doors which we hope will arrive this week - yippee! He is such a clever man and so handy to have around. I wonder what jobs I can think of for him next LOL! When I did get off my sick bed (again) I fel...

Oh wow what an incredibly awful and yet wonderful week I have just had! Sounds confusing? Well it is a bit I guess LOL. The awful part was the gross bout of tonsillitis that I experienced in the last week that I am (thankfully) recovering from now – thank heavens for the wonder of modern medicine and those fabulous antibiotics LOL. Lucky the old tonsil’s didn’t abscess and I am now out of the worst part – yippee! But of course during my period of ill health the family went to hell in a hand-basket and the house now looks like a cluster bomb has exploded in it! So what is so wonderful about having tonsillitis at your age?? I hear you ask! Well actually nothing! Nothing at all! As usual scrapping provides me with the most wonderful moments in my life (outside of the kids, hubby and my friends of course!!!). Natalie surprised my little cotton socks off by using one of my Los in the DST insider to highlight her gorgeous kit The Valley! Now I can’t tell you how exciting that is for me,...
