~Tagged by Sarah~

What was happening 10 years ago: Ten years ago, I had two children under 5 at home and was preparing for my DD to begin primary school. I had just agreed to join Girls Brigade...now how a simple decision can make such a huge change in your life:lol:
5 things to do today: Go to the gym, pay some cheques into the bank, food shopping, tons of housework and I want to make a special get well card for my big sis, who has been unwell for a while and the doc has only now realised she has had pnuemonia!!!!
Snacks I like: Jelly bean company Jelly beans, Chocolate, obviously LOL - especially Mint Aeros, Minstrels and Revels hmmmm and nachos and and and and I could go on for ever:lol
What would I do if I was a millionaire: Oh if I was a millionaire, I would buy a bigger house, somewhere where I could see the sea, but not in a coastal resort and it would have a designated craft room with big sunshine windows overlooking the beach and the sea. I would ensure my families mortgages were paid off and hopefully not let it change me
Places I have lived: I was born in Glasgow and then moved to Whitburn, however I worked in Devon for a while so had accomodation there..but I will always belong to Glasgow...just like the song says:lol:

I tag Tracie, Carolm, Kate T, Stacey and Amanda

Our Tara


This is a layout I have been wanting to do for a while, this was my mums little dog Tara. She is an adorable old bundle of love, she is the most pleasant natured little dog. I took this pic for one of the challenges in the last cyber crop on UKS. Its not the best pic, the colours are brighter IRL.


Scrapping at Last

I finally found some time today to do some scrapping, this is a DLO of my DS and his friends at their recent primary school prom. It is scrary how quick my wonderful baby boy is growing up, but I am also very proud of the young man I can see emerging from this wonderful young boy.

Finished Gala Day Decorations

Thought I would show you what I have been up to for the past 4 weeks, my DS was chosen as a Bodyguard in our local gala day pageant, so of course that meant decorating the house. DS had a great time and was really happy with his castle.



Recent LO's

I have been up to my butt in Gala day decorations, but decided to give myself a break and do a couple of LO's, one was for a challenge on UKS and the other was me trying to make a start on my DS's prom pics. Hoping now that the gala day is out of the way I can make a start on some scrapping and also get to play with some of the many stamps I have been buying.

Dottee Doll Swap

I am taking part in a Dottee Doll swap, these funny little dolls measure around 2" or 3" and are great fun to make....kind of like my own ones, so just need to hope I like the two I get back:lol: I am sure I will...or I may need to make myself another two. They are for nothing in particular, I just wanted them to hang in my craft room.


These are my two...hope who ever gets them likes them.

Time in a bottle

"If I could save time in a bottle"


Goodness how good would that be, especially at the moment. I just never seem to have enough time in a day. I cant believe it is over a month since I posted here...I have been so busy as it is the wind down for girls brigade and gala season here. Gala season wont mean much to those of you who dont live here in West Lothian, but to me it means work, work and more work..for not only do GB take part in events, but my Darling son is one of the Gala Queens bodyguards..which means the house has to be decorated. so that is what I have been doing, we are putting a castle on the front of our house, but as usual working on it is dependant on weather and grabbing some free time between other gala activities..but not to worry, we will get there in the end.

Below is a pic of me working on putting in the details, which will now need to be painted in..
