Stuffy nose.. yuk!!

Well the last few days I have been putting up with a cold that my darling son passed on to me.. of course he is dealing with it just fine.. in fact I don't think you would know he was ill if it wasn't for his runny nose.. me however... I hate being ill!! I'm ashamed to say it but I just have no stamina when it comes to being ill... in fact Andy and I seem to have our roles reversed.. Andy gets on with it while I seem to find a big hole and sink into it until I'm better.. :)

Going to meet a friend of mine for Coffee tomorrow at Borders (Coffee and books.. great combo!) and also maybe a quick look around Hobby Craft to see what they have... I have been told there prices have become more reasonable and the are also stocking better Scrapbooking stash.. so worth a look I think :)

So my computer war continues.. today my mouse stopped working!! for no reason at all!!! I tried everything I could think of to get the stupid thing to work but with no joy.. anyway Andy then comes home and within seconds the mouse is working for him... I dunno I think I'm starting to take this personally!! oh and my photos are still not working!!

It has been decided (by Andy and myself) that I will be going to Ally Pally and the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show in April... YAY!! I was a little worried for a while as money (as always) is a little tight.. but I was clever enough to insist on no Valentines present and no Mothers Day present so Andy feels I deserve a little treat.. YAY!! although it looks like I will be going with £30 or something similar to spend but hay I will just have to be clever with my money.. plus it will be a nice day with friends..

I feel I need to plug a web site that I have been enjoying for a few weeks.. its paperclipping.com it definitely has changed the way I scrap and I think for the better.. if not only because I seem to be so much more confidant in myself and my work and even my process of scrapbooking.. make sure you check out Paperclipping Live as I think this has had the most effect on me.. plus its just fun to watch :)

I have also been loving Ali Edwards Blog at the moment.. its funny but her style is not really my thing but I think she is a great blogger..

Sorry I'm so rubbish.... :)

Sorry I am so rubbish at updating this blog... ok so what have I been up to then.. well as you know from my last post I went to Lyme regis for my Mums 60th...

As you can see we had loads of fun.. especially with Logan on the beach..

Well today is a new start for me.. I started my new resolution to have a run every morning before Logan wakes up and Andy goes to work... this does mean I have to get up at 6am! but I do feel much better for it and who knows I may even lose a few pounds.. but actually its not about that... I just want to be heathier..

My next goal for the day is to print out some new photo's for my scrapbooking .. it had accured to me recently that I need to pay more attention to what I am scrapbooking.. we don't have your normal photo albums so my scrapbooking is our only record of our lives and I would hate to miss anything important..

I think I may scream at my cumputer soon... you may know that I have been having trouble getting my computer to read my images from my camera memory card.. it will only show me some images but most of them are coming up as unavailable!! grrrrr.. so annoying... I really want to be more active with getting my LO's uploaded so I have a better chance when applying for scrapbooking design team calls... I don't know what to do about it... I have no idea when it comes to PC's ...

Any who thats enough moaning... I'm off to print some pictures..

Just like Dad..

Logan was so sweet last night.. insisting on making dinner with Andy.. who knows maybe I will have another cook in the house to make me delicous meals :)

Well tomorrow we will be traveling down to Lyme Regis to visit my Mum and Dad.. Its my mums 60th Birthday and the whole family plus some extra's are getting together to have a little celebration.. Really looking forward to it... I think if I had to pick one place in the entire world I think I would say Lyme Regis is my favourite place in all the world... Funny but my sister Emma feels the same (she is even having her wedding there in March) I wonder if it would be the same if my parents didn't live there? who knows but anyway I can't wait..

Not managed to do any Scrapbooking today so far which is a little annoying as I have a LO half finished and that always gets on my nerves... but I have been tidying up all day... my next door naibour is coming to feed our cat... so silly me feels the house has to be spotless... :) I know I'm being silly but hay it can't be a bad thing to have a tidy house... right?

Anyway.. chow for a few days.. will hopefully have some great pictures from the trip to Lyme to show you all..

Happy Valentines Day !!

Hello everyone... I hope we are all feeling romantic today.. :) as you can see this is the LO I did last night for Andy.. I have to say I am quite happy with it.. I have been playing with the 8.5 - 11 LO and they are so much easier...

Well as you can see I seem to have fixed the problem with uploading my pictures from my camera so hopefully you will be seeing alot more photo's on my blog... hopefully a little more interesting for you guys...

Well not really doing much for valentines this year as we are skint... in fact I have even made Andy his valentines gift as I have no money to actually buy one... but hay the making was fun and its the thought that counts right :) I have made him a mini book about why I love him... ok every go arrrrr.. :) I have also made him a white chocolate cheese cake for pudding tonight so I hope that goes down well :)

Well I hope everyone has a great day today.. I'm going to try and get in some more scrapping so should be fun :)

Chow for now..

Scrapbooking Kits

Man oh man there are so many of these out there.. I have spent nearly all day searching differant sites, working out if it was good value.. checking past kits.. any way I have finally decided to go with https://coordinatescollections.com/index.html and I am totally looking forward to recieving my new kits each month.. what I really like about this kit site is that you recieve 2 completly differant kits each month for the price of one... obviously the kits are smaller but I just like the idea of having 2 kits to inspire me each month.. if that means I have to use some extra stash to complete my pages thats fine ... its all about the inspiration :)

So my weekend was good.. Went to my monthly crop on Sunday and didn't do too bad.. actually managed to complete one LO (although not really as I still made some changes to it when I got home!)
I have paid my deposit for the next MKScrapper Retreat in October so I am totally looking forward to that... and it will be my birthday the day after I get back so that really will be a fab long weekend :)

I am also getting excited about going to the Stamp and Scrapbooking show in April ... I was going to go with my friend Rachael but she has totally dumped me with some excuse about her husband playing tennis ;) so my husband Andy has agreed to come along with me... which actually shouldn't be too bad.. he does kinda like the whole scrapbooking thing and he totally loves shopping so hay it could be worse... :)

Chow for now

Crappy Sunday

Hi all..

Well today has turned out to be a crappy Sunday... :( Our car has died.. or maybe just passed out at the moment as we are unable to start it.. and funny but the most annoying part of it is that its happened on our drive so we are unable to get our rescue people to come and get it to be fixed as we do not have home cover.. boo!! so now we have the hassle of getting it to a garage!! what a pain cars are hay...

Any who... not the end of the world I suppose but definately has not made for a good day...

Chow for now..

Sorry!!

I have been officially told off for not updating my blog so... sorry everyone... you know what its like we have moved house and then it was Christmas and then.. well things just got put to one side.. anyway here I am now.. how did you ever survive with out me !! :)

Well we had a great Christmas in our new house !! YAY!! thats about it really for Christmas nothing really exciting... I did have a great time completing the Shimele Laine Christmas Journal over Christmas and I have to say I am very proud of my end result... So I would definately suggest trying that this year... Have a look at her web site - Shimele.com around November time and she will I'm sure tell you the details...

Well I have had my first Design team kit from Stamp Addicts and it was loads of fun... Unfortunately they don't seem to be putting it onto the website yet.. poo.. but if you go in the shop you will see mine just by the patterned papers and its a seaside theme... Can't wait for the next one :)

I had a great time last wednesday at (sorry I have totally forgotten her name) Racheals (Scrapster) Sisters house at her Stamp Party.. Spent far too much money but am totally looking forward to recieving the goods... Plus as a bonus I have signed up for a Hostess Club which basically means I will get to go to a Stamp Party every month!!! Woo Hoo!!

So thats about it really... Consider yourself updated in the life of Hannah.. I'm sure I could think of more to say but hay... to be honest I can't be bothered ;)

Well I promise I will try to get back into the habit of updating this little space but if I don't please feel free to give me a ear full :)
