Crumbs!
I went back to the docs today for the 5th time in 10 weeks - yes 10 weeks! It now appears I have whooping cough. Strangely this is something that is not always associated with babies and children and can develop in adults even though I've been vaccinated. It's not nice I have to say and having read all about it on t'internet I can now see that it's what I have. At least I now know and I've been given some antibiotics to take for 10 days and an inhaler to hopefully help stop the coughing. Honestly it was getting to be ridiculous. I've been coughing uncontrollably for over 3 weeks to the point of being physically sick. Not nice at all and it's been so exhausting as well. I am really run down. I haven't been out much because a change in temperature causes me to cough, so by being out for a couple hours basically renders me useless for the rest of the day! I now, hopeful, can begin to get better and start living again. Maybe xmas doesn't seem so bad after all.
Off to Linda's all day crop tomorrow with Sandie, Anita and Sue. I so want to go and have a good time. Keep your fingers crossed I can last the day. You never know I might even have some LO's to show you!
Stay healthy!

Kids huh!
I did get some great shots from him in the end. The best are always kept for scrapping so you'll have to come back to see what I've done. And if I say so myself - they're pretty damn good!

Sssshhh... I've been on a spending spree
I also popped into David & Brenda's @ Craft Obsessions yesterday, as they've just received their consignment of gorgeous felt from Queen & Co. Again I wanted all of it but decided on only 7 of them. Absolutely lush! One thing which I didn't realise,is that it's self adhesive - brilliant as you know what a bugger it can be to stick felt down. So I've more stash to use now! I also bought the new Autumn Leaves Techno Pop papers and plastic embellies - they are lush too and I actually used them in this LO at the crop last night. It's my little boy with one of his friends at a Birthday Party a few weeks ago. So sweet and I got to scrap in pink for a change - yippeee! :-)

Not much to report
I've still got this poxy cold and cough - it's been 3 weeks now and I'm soooo fed up with it. I've decided that if it's not better by Friday then I will go to the docs. I feel a bit of a fraud going to see him with 'just a cold' but nothing is shifting it. If I pop anymore pills I'll start to rattle!
Well I was going to upload some pics of when we were out on the boat on Sunday but blogger doesn't want to play. Anyway, it was a gorgeous day and because the speed limit has been lifted at this time of year in the harbour, we could put our foot down - and we did! Cruising at 25knots in the harbour is amazing! Plus I caught some fishes too! Put them all back safely tho as they were only baby bass. They sure did like our wiggly worms tho. he he!
Well I think I will try and start a CJ entry that I've been meaning to do. Now where's those Scenic Route papers.................

Ahoy Me Maties!
I haven't put this LO in the album yet as I still think it needs something more. Not sure what, so if you've got any ideas out there, please let me know. Ta very much!

It's late....
I've also finished a LO tonight on a Pirate theme. Claire, my UKS teamie came up with a brilliant idea of making some coins out of fimo. They didn't look brilliant when they came out of the oven, but after painting them metallic copper they look pretty good. Another page for you to watch this space for.
Right off to bed now - got to get up early in the morning for a busy day of scrapping! (minus Sandie and Sue my croppin maties, boo hoo)

A Mini Album
Tonight I'm finishing of the Blind Man's Buff Challenge (Mystery Kit) for the CC on UKS. I have to say that Crafty Pastimes have provided such a lovely kit. I'm not allowed to say what's in it but I love it all! You'll have to watch this space to see my creation. Coming soon.....

I'm a Winner!
Got a busy week coming up this week as I'm off to Scrap Camp with Emma on Friday. I'm sooo excited but haven't got anything organised yet - eeek! I've been procrastinating over work for the last few weeks and Paul's been nagging me so I've had to knuckle down. My aim is to finish work today so I can then concentrate on getting my photo's sorted. Then it's my tools and a few baggies with some kits in to get on with while I'm there. Altho I'm not sure if I'm going to do any scrapping other than the classes as I can see alot of chatting, eating and drinking is going to be taking place. Horray for girly weekends away!!!!
Right, on with these accounts.......

Busy, busy
Jake went to his friends party today at Farmer Palmers. Is was an early one at 10.30 and we stayed until 2pm. He had a fabulous time and I actually enjoyed myself too. I took loads of photo's but dopey me forgot to charge the battery up and it was flat by the time the cake arrived - typical! I've yet to master the manual settings for action shots as well. I just couldn't get it right today - not even on auto.
I've been really busy working in the evenings this week so haven't done many LO's. I'm off to do one now tho for next weeks challenge on the Scrapping Frenzy Blog. There is a little prize for one lucky person if you link it or email it to us, so please do have a go. We'd love to see your creations.
Right I'm off to scrap!

I'm back
Today has been a bit boring really but as the boys are now tucked up in bed, I can at least be productive in my own little world. In fact I've just finished a LO I started on Wed, and also done a 12x6 for this weeks challenge on UKS. I haven't yet had chance to do the photography challenge on Scrapping Frenzy Blog but if I get time I'll try tomorrow. Katy's photo looks fab!
Right, back to a bit of scrapping with Amy Winehouse.....

Stuffed!
Last night I decided I must use some of my Scrap Room kits as they are piling up, and the September one will be here any day. So I managed 2 LO's. Thank goodness they always include something 'manly' - I don't think Paul would appreciate his photo on a pink page.
If you get the chance, don't forget to pop onto the NEW Scrapping Frenzy blogspot tomorrow morning for it's launch. There's some exciting stuff happening!

No Fishing Today
Maybe I'll do a little scrapping but I'm not sure it will cheer me up as I hate missing out on the fantastic weather we're having. Anyway, here's a piccie I took on Thurs as we were coming out of Cobbs Marina. It was really overexposed but having corrected that in DigiPro, it now looks like a painting - how bizarre.
