My lovely crafty friend Sarah was recently married and my Lady C and Lady K were asked to be bridesmaids!
My girls always feel that people don't want them at their wedding because we seem to go to loads and they don't get an invite...They don't understand that its often the cost of a wedding that makes people not ask children so when they were asked they were shocked and thrilled.
Here is a pic of Sarah's card and surprise gift of something new and blue..
all made with Stampin Up card of course!

 here is Lady C, she did so well all day, it was so hard for her, lots of people taking pictures asking her to smile, stand there, and anyone who knows her this is not easy at all for her but she was amazing, truly amazing all day.

 In the wedding car

Not forgetting lady K, she was freezing here but can you believe she is 12!?

As for the hair...

Lady K in the car, how grand does she look, this was an amazing day, full of memories , I was such a proud mum....Thanks for reading.

 

I love my ipad.....

I love my Ipad, I mean really love it.....

Maybe I should have been so attached and I wouldn't be suffering from the separation anxiety I am coping with today!
Lady C fell with my ipad and hit the door frame, I was not too please but it was in the case, just an accident.
When I opened this a few Christmas's ago I cried, I couldn't believe I had such an amazing present and I have not been apart from that day....I felt so lucky.

Ok , I decided to go local...support your local business I thought. I could have had this done cheaper in back street Manchester but decided to go to the village and give them a try. For £99 they are replacing the screen and say they will do it my next Thursday before I pop off to an amazing Paperie Retreat, I'm soooo excited I may pop.........

Stampin up freebies !

I love a great bargain if you do too why not host a party or join one of my new card making classes, I am based in Wilmslow in Cheshire but can travel to any surrounding areas.
email me for detail Cheshire.designhouse@virgin.net

Change is good!

Hi there,
so much has happened good and bad its been a challenging few months. I have learnt a few lessons, maybe the hard way but I think I'm wiser for it...
I am learning to not let people upset me, not take things to heart too much and to not expect too much.
People will judge you, there is nothing you can do about that, you cant stop it, I need to be confident on who I am and proud of what I have achieved.
I cant predict the future but I am going to put myself out there and have fun.
this isnt a new pic but I love it, these are the people who keep me going...

A snippet of some work..This is so bright because its a showhome....cheap and cheerful, did the trick..

My interior design business has been running for 12 months, cant believe it, I'm loving it, we have some great clients and I am lucky to be installing at a Villa in Portugal at the beginning of March and this is the hotel the client has booked for us to stay in, she has also booked up a massage for all the hard work!

NEW BLOG

Time for a change!

 Its not quite finished yet, I need to add bit and bobs but I felt I needed a big change and decided my blog was a good place to start.

 I keep forgetting to announce that Emily Tompson was the winner of my last blog candy, I hope she enjoys it! I'm off to make some more goodies, I have a school Christmas craft fair coming up!

I have a new Etsy shop banner too, just need to made some goodies to put in it....

Look what I'm making!

Ive not had the best week so what better way to be cheered up than a macaroon making workshop!! I don't think I will actually like the taste but love the colours, I sure the kids will love them and if I don't like them there won't be an calories!

Cant wait......the colours are very inspiring....may need to go in the craft studio...
