Vintage Cards & Chicks!

Hello All!!
I have been recruiting again for the Tearooms, and, as a consequence also having to work in the Rooms themselves along with training, etc… phewee is putting it very politely!!
So, I have been away from the Blogs, etc. 
Anyway, I have posted here, some small cards I made recently which are very quick to make and [...]

A Father’s Day Note

This is just a little note… out to the Ether really… A Special Father’s day thought to my Dad, Chris Norman, who sadly, was taken from me back in January 2005 aged only 55.  I just felt I needed to say it permanently somewhere, as I have no grave to visit, no plaque to gaze [...]

Time for a Change!

Time for a Change… “of what?” you may ask.

Well sometimes you just need a change of scenery!  this was my scenery this afternoon, after deciding that I needed to “get out” and clear my head of numbers!

I decided it was best I took the dogs for a walk before the rain came down… in fact [...]

Saying Goodbye to Oscar

Today was a bit of a sad day for me, as I had to bury one of my Koi.  Oscar just didn’t make it through, what with the move from the old house to the holding tank and then into the new pond, coupled with the very cold weather we have just had. 
He was about [...]

Close up pictures of the Fairy Birthday Cake

Twice because we have to stay in a holiday cottage for about a week in order to sort out the new house as it has been empty for a year and things like… [...]

A little bit of Cake Decorating

We Weren’t Born To Follow - Bon Jovi

Great Rock Tune with a an uplifting message… can’t get much better than that!!  Wooo Hooo!
There [...]

Halloween 2009

Well we had a little party for Halloween yesterday evening, and then a quick round of Trick or Treating.  With Honey’s school friends and the children (and adults) from the neighbouring houses the party went well.
Here we are in our outfits, and when I tell you that it cost only £22 for BOTH outfits including [...]

Autumn Photos

I am very pleased (on a regular basis) that I finally took the plunge to get a mobile phone with a decent camera in it!  I even saved myself £10 per month in the process which was a bonus!  But it means I can take pictures wherever I go, as I almost always have the [...]
