The one the night before!!

Having spent the weekend nervously, slowly cooking myself to a golden crisp, 

waiting for the phone to ring,

It finally did!

Tomorrow I am going out on the D**E!!

(I dare not say it for fear of jinxing it)

I hope it goes ok?

I hope I can relax and be me, like I can be with this gang?

Will let you know

:)

The one about the date!!

Well, thats what I think he meant? 

Surely if a guy asked you to go to see a film and a photography exhibition that's a date right??

Stupidly I made a comment on FB as I was sooooo excited and it went a bit viral with people I know all round the world commenting on it - that's how rare it is to use the 'd' word in my world!!!

Now of course the same people keep asking me "How did it go?"

I have to ignore them or admit - it hasn't - yet!!

Now I feel a bit of a fool??

I'm sure it will happen, I know he's a bit busy this weekend, I just have to be patient right?

Lets face it, if its meant to be it will happen and I have waited a long long time to be in the right place at the right time. He asked colleagues for my number when I was off work and if he wasn't interested then he wouldn't have bothered right?

Watch this space but I am hoping that...........

!!!!!!!

One year old!!

It was the twins birthday the other day and of course we celebrated - with peas and sweetcorn - their favourite!! 

Our neighbour brought some carrot tops but 'WE' seem to be OFF carrots at the moment???

In the meantime I have flumped and fidgeted my way through the last week with a back problem of unknown origin!!?

Despite the rude comments at work about my age, sex drive, wimpishness of camping etc etc I can honestly say that it was NOT the camping that caused it!! It might have been the repacking of the tent the next day but that's all?

I had five days off work and moped about feeling very sorry for myself and uncomfortable, unable to do very much and then had a scrapping frenzy on Sunday which has whipped my mojo up to a phenominal level - that's the only thing though, my enthusiasm at struggling back into work was NOT phenominal!! Not by a long shot!!!

Oh well, its only a four day week for me and then I am off for a weeks holiday, shame the weather won't be up to doing much but at least I can scrap regardless of what it does?

Work has been eased a little by some sympathy from the office eye candy, but as he wasn't in today I am feeling very poorly again this evening???

Ha ha! Hope you like my double LO? Haven't made one for a while but am pleased with how it turned out. The photos were from a day trip out to Stourhead last Autumn.

Oh the joys of a tripod!!

So this time last week I was sat in a pub in Totnes with this crazy gang!

We had all met up in Dartmouth for a fun camping weekend and it didn't disappoint - we had an awesome time and I haven't laughed so much in ages!!

On Saturday we wandered about in Dartmouth, ate a delicious Devon cream tea, and larked about in general having lots of fun. The weather was warm and fine most of the time too.

Then we headed back up the hill to the campsite for a BBQ and some more fun!

Nat became Lara Croft BBQ lighting guru and then entertained us all with some bizarre dancing

The we took loads of silly photos using the tripod and various food items! It's so nice having people in my photos for a change, 

and actually being in some myself - even if I did pull some silly faces.

Hurrah for tripods and timers!!

All too soon it was time to pack up and come home. The end of a great weekend!

What are you up to this weekend?

Behind again!!

I seem to have lost another week and fallen behind with my blogging again! To be fair I have been quite busy and for once it has not all been work!! Hurrah!

I went away camping for the weekend and have lots of pics to share - just need five mins to upload them from my camera, and I still also have the fab lunch pics to share from when I took Grannywen out for her birthday, and of course I then need to print them so I can scrap them!

Really I need an extra few hours on each day to complete all the things I want to do???

I will leave you with these pics of the boys, larking about at Grannywens and loking pretty darn cute I think!?

 
Catch up with you soon xx

My Moleskine pics so far

 So, after a shopping trip to the Range, Hobbycraft and few purchases on Ebay I am up and inking......

This is the first art journal I have made so who better than Kirsty Wiseman to lead us all through it.

The pages are quite personal and will include hidden tags with more meaningful journalling on them,

I haven't made those yet as I am still having fun making my pages

and this is my journey through journal land so far

There are still some things that I will add and amend

but so far I am REALLY enjoying myself 

and this creative journey!!

I love it and hope you do too! For more info pop over to Kirsty's blog, I think she still has some kits for sale over there.

Sunday!

So, the adventure car is home, the twins are home and I have had a lovely day at home ! The sun was shining, well it was this morning anyway, and I have been a productive little bunny!!

After a nice lie-in I set to in the garden and pruned my hedges and reclaimed about 4 foot back on my little patio!! It took about three hours but I managed to fill three bin bags with rubbish and after a good old sweep and re-arrange I sat down and enjoyed the sun - just in time for it to go in!!!

I did some washing, sorted out some online stuff and have completed three pages of my Me in my Moleskine jounal - pics to follow later.

I did not manage to attack any of the HUGE pile of ironing, but I did put some other washing away and generally had a tidy up round my flat! Of course now, in the midst of my creative inkyness the lounge looks like a bomb has gone off in my Zone - oops!

Oh bugger - is it really Monday again already?
