Logan has been suffering IBS for a couple of day and I am starting to get used to doing everything with one hand whilst carrying or bouncing him. Even managed to type this with one hand. :0)

I fell in love today....

With a set of stamps..Shh don't tell my husband.

Starving Artistamps have some yummy new releases and If Logan was growing out of his clothes faster than I can afford them I would be reaching for my credit card right now. I guess I will just have to cross my fingers as they are giving away some of their yummy stamps as blog candy. You must check they out they are beyond cute!.

Cupcake craft challenge


I can't seam to leave these challenges alone!. Logan has had the serious grumbles tonight and as you can see I am still awake at this ungodly hour.
The Cupcake challenge was to create a card using glitter. Well Im not a girly girl by a long shot so this one was a little harder than expected but I like what I came up with. I have had the black glittery heart in my stash for a while waiting for the right card. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, I must work out the settings on my camera.

New Years EVE




My husband and I spent along time debating what to do on new years eve. We had a baby sitter (my mum) all organized, an invite to a cosplay party and our taxi (my dad) booked. We decided that despite the fact it was new year we didn't want to go out at all. That we would spend the evening both doing something that we loved. We looked at going to the cinema and the zoo on new years day but decided against those too. In the end we stayed in. Charlie working on his art and me scrapbooking. It was perfect.

A brand new year

When I sit and think of the pass year, I am stunned into silence, which is a rare thing indeed. So much has happened in the space of a year that it’s a little hard to comprehend. Our nice orderly life has been turned upside down and we are loving every second of it.

We bought our first home. A big step in anyone’s book. A three bed Victorian end of terrace that still needs some love and attention thought we have managed to decorate three rooms so far. We got it for a seriously good price, all we had to do was move to Wales, which hasn’t been bad at all.

We had our son, Logan. I thought that I would never have kids so when that little blue line appeared it came as a bit of a shock. Even more so to my husband when I rang him in work to tell him. He is wonderful and beautiful and I love him, simple as that.

My husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. I will always be thankful for him and his ability to make me smile when I want to kill.

I feel, as does everyone at this time of year, that I should make some new years resolutions. I though long and hard over them and decided on these.

1. Clean less and scrap more. In the future my friends and family won’t care that my washing up wasn’t done straight away or that I had a pile of ironing a mile high. Share what matters to you, the rest can wait awhile.
2. Watch a new film once a month. My husband and I love to watch films but of late we have found ourselves watching the same ones over and over again. We have a rather substantial collection of DVDs and a disappointing amount of them we have never watched.
3. Finish what I start. I don’t know about you but I have numerous projects sat in bags and boxes waiting for me to finish them. Many of them would only take a hour or so to finish but I keep getting distracted by the next thing.

Those are my resolutions. Simple and achievable.

Happy new year readers….If there are any of you!
