Happy New Year, if a little late!
Where did those two months go! I have realised that I haven't blogged at all this year!! So I have some catching up to do. Christmas was lovely but our main focus thus far this year has been THE WEDDING of the year! My Son is getting married in Mexico next month and preparation for… Continue reading Happy New Year, if a little late!
All done for another year.
Well, that's Christmas done. The Grandkids received an obscene amount of stuff, so much waste at this time of year makes me sad. I cooked dinner was OK, it's all in the timing. Again, too much food to be comfortable with. The highlight was Isabella dressed as Edna Mode from The Incredibles, she also has… Continue reading All done for another year.

A New Chaper Begins Today
When I gave up work two years ago to care for Isabella full time we agreed that it would be until she started school. Well that day is today. I feel both sad and excited for both of us. For her school may seem a scary place but she is bright and I know she will… Continue reading A New Chaper Begins Today
Inchies and Twinchies

This is a recurring subject for our club as they are so easy to make and assemble for a quick and easy card.
