Parents Anniversary gift.

I only decided to make this late yesterday afternoon.

In between cooking dinner, and watching TV I managed to

put this together.

My parents were married in 1962,

I wanted to give them something they could add to,

maybe even write down their memories.

The front cover.

The first page.
The second page with pictures from their wedding day. The date of their wedding.
I don't have many photo's of the day,
I hope they will add one.
Another page for them to fill.
A recent photo of them.And then the back cover.I just hope they like it, and will want to finish off
what I have started.

My first post for March...

This is my first post of March,

but I have three days worth of stuff to show you all.

More Fat book pages for the swap

on cardmaking and papercraft forum.

Blue below.

Another Green one.
A mixed colour one.
Pink below.I just love the last one, Purple.I didn't know when I first started these how much
fun they would be.
Also how addictive too!
I also didn't realise that they needed to be a little bit stronger.
So all the pages have now been backed again with more card.
The first three I made also had to be done!
I have made 8, so far! I think there are 14 of us in this swap now.

I have been given an award....

I would like to say a big thank you to Jo for giving me this award.

Pages of a different kind!

I have joined in on a swap,

On the cardmaking and papercraft forum,
its something I have never done before.

Fat book Pages!

Each page is 4inch x 4inch, you have to

leave a space down the left to fix it all together.The theme for this swap is butterflies,

we each make a page for everyone in the swap,

plus one for ourselves.We then get max 20 pages back to make a book.

I just hope my first ever go at these are ok!Butterflies are my favourite so I couldn't say no!

Some more pages

I wanted my children to be reminded of being in the paddling pool

on warm summer days.

I have memories of a washing up bowl of water,

leaving footprints down our path.

Its not every year you get invited to a halloween party,

here is my little pumpkin.
Both my little ones love dressing up,
they had these outfits for Christmas and for
Children in need. Taylor was a pirate for Children in need 2006.

Taylor loves playing at being a fireman!
Thats all for now!

A rough Day!

We have had a little bit of a rough day.

My son as you know if you look at his picture wears glasses.

He had an eye test at school on Friday and failed

( we knew about his weak eye as he is wearing glasses!)

Monday evening I get a phone call asking to make an appointment to the eye department.

I was left worried etc, but thought it would come quick enough, anyway.

We were there for hours, after seeing 3 different people, plus being told he needs new glasses again!

We were told he has a weak left eye!

OK WE KNEW!

They want him to have his glasses for 6 weeks then go back as they do help straighten his eye.... Then we may have to go through patching it.

I know its all in his favour if we work on this and try to help him!

It just seemed like a waste of time and school day to find out what we already know!

How come it was so URGENT?

Magnolia Tilda Challenge # 8 Get well wishes.

Magnolia Tilda Challenge # 8

This week the theme had to be GET WELL Wishes.

I had already worked with Lemon and Lilac,

see below for the sugar nellie challenge.

So It kind of spread into this card too.

I thought the colour combination and the lovely bright Tilda

would make anyone feel better.
