It has been a very long time since I last blogged and if I am honest I really miss my little blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ruby is now nearly 3 and a year or so has passed since I have really sat down and crafted properly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ruby is due to start nursery at Christmas and I really want to get back into what I love doing because I miss it soo much!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am starting simple and trying to make cards that fit into the time that I have and that means nothing too fussy! Ruby and a full time job do not leave much time to spare. I also forgot to mention Martin who obviously takes up my time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Over the last couple of weeks I have started to make cards for family birthdays and I am making the most of having a PC at home until my brother's little office is sorted and he will want it back. I ate blogging from my phone or ipad because it is so frustrating!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a card that I made for my Auntie's Mum.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I have found some old Christmas cards and I thought this image would fit perfect cut to size for the card. The ribbon is from my stash and is probably years old!<br />
<br />
I coloured the image with my Promarkers but I have no idea of the colour combos because it has been so long since I coloured that I just made them up as I went along, but I am really happy with the result.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The pictures are pretty poor but I am very out of practice. My photo subject lately is my little model Ruby and any photo is a good photo with her. These are not great but I will try to get better.<br />
<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I really do hope to start blogging more often, but I just don't want to get too caught up in trying to blog at certain times. I have just decided to blog when I can and try to visit my favourite blogs and any new ones which I may have missed in my time away! I have been really stressed and anxious lately so I figured the perfect way to de-stress was to craft!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will be back soon with another post!</div>

HI</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope everyone have a lovely Christmas and Happy New Year! I had a lovely quiet Christmas with my family and Ruby who had a lovely time opening her presents, but she became bored after 10 minutes!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No guesses what my New Years Resolution will be & that will be to get back into my crafting! I am in the process of sorting my craft cupboards to get some order to them and clear out some of the stuff I don't & won't use.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have already done some colouring this evening so watch this space (although I am not overly happy with my colouring so don't know if I will need more practice before I feel happy to blog them!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, on 29th November Ruby celebrated her 1st birthday! How time just flies by ;-(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would share some pictures from her birthday and the little tea party I had for her at my home. Here she is the morning of her birthday in her new ball pit</div>

Im having lots of work done on my home and I hope it will be finished very son so I cam dust off my stamps and get creative again soon!</div>

Hi to anyone that is still following and dropping by to see me. I know that my blogging habits are pretty abysmal really but Ruby and full time work just doesnt leave much time for me :-(</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wouldn't change it for the world and I cant wait till my little lady can share my crafting hobby with me.</div>

Ruby is fully weaned and now sits up on her own although she is still quite dinky compare to others. </div>

I just thought I would log on because I really haven't been on here much at all. I keep dropping by my favourite blogs but I just don't seem to have time to upload. I have been crafting when I can, but I have been preparing to go back to work. I only have 2 weeks maternity leave left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am really nervous about going back and its been playing on my mind about leaving Ruby because I really don't want to. After spending all my time with her I think it will be a really tough first few weeks back at work for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I have no card to show you because I haven't kept up with my photos when I have made them recently but here is a picture of my little family yesterday.</div>

Unfortunately Martin has lost both his Nans in the last few weeks and yesterday was the funeral of his Nan who passed away a week ago. It was a sad and upsetting day but we came home and spent the day with little Ruby.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Right I am off to do some colouring as I have lots of Fathers Day orders before I go back to work.</div>

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am back with a New Baby card that I made for my Cousin who had her little girl over the weekend. We are going through a baby boom in my family at the moment because my Sister is expecting her 3rd baby in July along with another of my Cousins - all girls too so they are definitely going to rule this family!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ironically, my Cousin called her baby Evie Polly which is also the name my Sister has picked for her little girl but she says that she won't change it, so it looks like there will be 2 Evies'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, I bought some new papers yesterday when I went shopping with my Mum and they are from the Bundle of Joy Collection from Kaiser Craft - they are gorgeous and I have bought extra pages for Ruby's scrapbook!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wqjpO5ue14/UVriNIThxEI/AAAAAAAABWM/cZ5w-SLf-po/s1600/001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wqjpO5ue14/UVriNIThxEI/AAAAAAAABWM/cZ5w-SLf-po/s320/001.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used my all time favourite Magnolia baby stamp which goes perfectly with these papers. I also treated myself to some Promarkers so I tried a different colour combination to get this vintage pink which I just love.</div>

I have added some lovely ribbon with "Congratulations" running through it along with a blingy slider. The lace is from my stash along with the button and flower. </div>

You can't really see it very well from the picture but I have stamped Evie Polly into the banner on the paper to make my own sentiment. The cute little feet are punched from a Woodware punch that I have had for a while.</div>

Happy Easter Everyone!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought I would upload a card that I made a couple of weeks ago because I have been neglecting my little blog lately. I bought some new stamps which could be teamed up with my Honeycomb paper and my Mum found me this set which I love!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I added one of my old Tilda's to the front and I have created a little scene inside with the stamp set! How cool is this? I love it! I think you can just see the Honeycomb Hive in the middle, but its not a great photo! I also found this lovely Magnolia paper when making an order from Sir Stampalot a couple of weeks ago.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have had lots of orders and this has kept me busy in the spare time that I have, not that I have much anymore but this has meant that I have earned some pennies and treated myself to a Cake Pop Maker and lots of other accessories. I can't wait for this to come so I can have a play. I have had a Cupcake maker for a little while now and love to do them so thought I would have a go at something different. I may blog some of my creations if they are worthy of it, but I have bought it with ideas for Ruby's birthday parties - nothing like getting in front is there!!!</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I couldn't blog without posting a few pics of my little Beaut! She went to her first party a few weeks ago at the Bear Factory and came home with a cute little chick in time for Easter. Her big Cousin Izzy was 4 and wanted Ruby to go so she could have a bear like her Friends. My Mum treated her to the little outfit for her bear, but its something for Ruby to treasure from Izzy!</div>

Hello</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A little time has passed since my last post, but Ruby is now 12 1/2 weeks old and time is just flying by. I just hope my remaining months off work don't go so quick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last night I made a card for my Auntie and Uncles wedding anniversary. My Mum had reminded me about this card last week but I didn't make it and it was left till the last minute, but anyway I had these two images coloured up since before I had Ruby so I thought I may aswell use them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a super quick card and I used my new Prima 6 X 6 paper pad called "Divine".</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lovely buckle is a Bella! Ribbon Bucklez and I think it really makes the card. A simple sentiment stamped in Distress Ink and there you go....</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
and of course, I couldn't post without putting on a picture of my little beaut...... check that little smile out! She has really come along over the last couple of weeks and is smiling, laughing and following me around the room. Its her second lot of injections tomorrow so no doubt she won't be in a good mood tomorrow after those! </div>

Hello</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am back with a card that I have made for a few challenges.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used my new Tilda from the Christmas Collection just gone, another late purchase in the sale! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yINo_7yAOOY/URKLhdNSLjI/AAAAAAAABSA/SbOy5sxM6lU/s1600/021.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yINo_7yAOOY/URKLhdNSLjI/AAAAAAAABSA/SbOy5sxM6lU/s320/021.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used my new Magnolia papers which I love and I followed the sketch at Live & Love Crafts. The hearts a bargain buy from Poundland for a bag full! They are great to use for my valentines orders. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zxNgqZudNmI/URKLjx3H9sI/AAAAAAAABSI/R1AFeub7pp4/s1600/022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zxNgqZudNmI/URKLjx3H9sI/AAAAAAAABSI/R1AFeub7pp4/s320/022.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
I love the sentiment too which is also Magnolia. The challenges I am entering this card into are listed at the bottom of this post, but I also wanted to share my first scrapbook page of Ruby having her first bottle, approximately 1 hour after she was born<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to try and get back into my scrapbooking and this I hope is the first of many. I want to do at least 1 page per month to scrap her first year and this was January's! </div>
<br />

Evening everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am back with a card that I have made to take part in the <a href="http://deepoceanchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/">DOC Challenge #44</a> and the theme this week is "Love & Lace"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used Tilda Spinkling Stars which I have only recently bought in the sale at my local craft shop. I love her because I think she can be used for any occasion and not just Christmas.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have used my Prima Annalee papers which I have not used because I wanted to keep them, but I want to start using my stash even the things I would want to save for something special because you can go on forever saving things and then they never get used - what a waste of money!!!!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7W2zvEyWnsc/UQwj2Lds3vI/AAAAAAAABRc/RZMDPH06Lnc/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7W2zvEyWnsc/UQwj2Lds3vI/AAAAAAAABRc/RZMDPH06Lnc/s320/009.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the image coloured with my Promarkers. I am not really happy with the hair colouring but never mind.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
And before I go and link up my card to the DOC I wanted to share a picture of my little lady laughing! She has really come along over the last week or so and has started to take notice of me and following me round the room. She also cracks a smile for her Mummy now!</div>

Happy Monday Everyone!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am back with another card which was made as a result of being up until the early hours this morning because I was dreading my Dentist appointment today. After lots of worrying I am now without a wisdom tooth and it wasn't that bad, I suppose!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, onto my card. Its an 8 x 8 and I have used some more of my new papers from Magnolia's "With Love" collection. I really love these papers and have used them more than any other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used my new Tilda blowing hearts and she is coloured with my Promarkers. I have used my Spellbinder Butterfly and Banner which have been neglected for some time now so it was good to get them out and use them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut Tilda out with my scalloped nestie and mounted her on a red doily. I also cut out some post cards from Magnolia paper. I think they look really cute and effective. </div>

I am back with another card that I have made just for fun! Its been a while since I have taken part in some challenges so I thought this would be a good time to have a go. I was up while the early hours making this card because I didn't feel tired. I should have been at the Dentist at 9.45 having my wisdom tooth out, but due to the snow I have had to cancel! Perhaps if I knew it was going to be cancelled I wouldn't have been up so late.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I have made the card myself because I am getting fed up of boring 6 x 6 or 8 x 8 cards. The papers are from Magnolias "With Love" collection called Rose Romance and I think I need more of this one because I love the vintage feel of it - so pretty!</div>

I have used my Up up and away Tilda (my only Tilda from the new collection) and my "you are so special" sentiment. The fab pegs were an xmas purchase from Poundland - I knew they could be used for something!! I have used my beautiful prize possession, magnolia heart die for the tag to lift the card out of its pocket which I just LOVE.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the front of the card I used some pretty pink pleated ribbon from my stash with a Tim Holtz ticket and Cameo (top left)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love this card because it came out exactly how I wanted it to and for a change it was something I wanted to make rather than for an order.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am going to enter my card in the following Challenges: -</div>

Right I am off to colour if little Ruby has a sleep this afternoon. She has been so good over the last couple of days and has even started to laugh and smile!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As promised I am back with a card. I have been trying to blog for some time now, but blogger isn't making it easy for me to blog in a rush. I still can't upload any photographs and have now had to upload via Chrome. Luckily this seems to be working else I think I would have given up!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On Monday I caught up with my Auntie Chanelle for a much needed craft day. We haven't seen much of each other over Christmas so we arranged to craft in the afternoon while my Mum babysat Ruby. Ruby hasn't been very well but luckily my Mum said that she was fine. I don't think she would have said even if she wasn't ;-)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was very naughty as I was meant to be providing the embellies for our card, but due to being back and forth with Ruby to the Doctors and then A & E on Sunday night I didn't manage to get them so everything you see here was provided by Auntie Chanelle, including the gorgeous image and honeycomb paper which she has now got me obsessing over (or should I say my Mum because she thinks its fab!). There is lots of perks to having an Auntie that shares the same hobby, but its not good when she has everything I want!!! She is lovely and lets me borrow whatever I want though!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<br />
Bonnie was coloured with Promarkers and the papers are a mixture of First Edition and Magnolia. I love the tone of this card and despite not buying this image, this card really makes me want to!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Just a close up of Bonnie. I think I am going to let my Dad have this card for my Mum to give to her on Valentines day because I think she will be the only person that would really appreciate this card. It would be wasted on Martin!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, I couldn't blog without posting a little pic of my little lady! It was taken at my Mums house last week and if you look close enough you can see her gripping onto my chain because the crafty little thing doesn't want to be put down!!!! My little Max is also sleeping in the background bless him!<br />

<br />
I hope you all have a great weekend, we are staying at my Mums tonight to save a very cold journey home later so a lazy night is in order! <br />
<br />
I hope to be back soon with some more of my cards that I have made and have been trying to blog without much luck until now.<br />
<br />

I had a lovely Christmas with the family, but little Ruby managed to sleep through most of it with me and her Dad opening all her presents!! As usual my Mum, Dad & little Brother spent the day and night at our house.<br />
<br />
2012 has been a fantastic year for me and I hope that 2013 will be another good one. I am now on the countdown to my holiday in the summer with the family which I just can't wait for. We didn't have a holiday last year because I was pregnant and we were trying to save the pennies! Ideally, I don't want time to fly that much because I want to enjoy every minute of my maternity leave before going back to work in the summer.<br />
<br />
Ruby is now 5 weeks old on this Thursday coming and she seems allot more settled and I am managing to get a little more sleep at night. She still seems to be a bit of a vampire though!!<br />
<br />
I have been managing to craft when Ruby sleeps or when Martin takes full control for a couple of hours at night and I have lots of orders to do. I have been really good and saved some pennies from my Christmas orders so I am hoping to have a big craft shop soon with my Mum! I just want to build it up a little more so I can get what I want without having to think about it! Its also a shopping spree to look forward to!<br />
<br />
My next post <strong>WILL</strong> be a card and I hope to get back into a routine with my blogging now that I am settled.<br />
<br />
But for now here is a little picture of us on Christmas day at Mums. Little Miss Christmas doesn't look amused........<br />

Evening Everyone<br />
<br />
After a very traumatic week I finally arrived home with my baby on Saturday. After a week waiting to be induced I was finally started into labour on Thursday evening and after 22 hours of labour I was rushed into theatre for an emergency c- section.<br />
<br />
To say I'm relieved is an understatement, but here is a picture of my beautiful baby girl:<br />

I am very happy buy so tired and sore. Thanks to the best Mum in the world i am managing to get a routine going but it doesnt help when you have a little vampire who sleeps all day and awake all night!!!<br />

Once again I have been very rubbish at posting on my little blog. I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks and have had lots of ups and downs with my pregnancy again!!! I finally finished work a couple of weeks ago so I have been much better since I could rest up at home.<br />
<br />
I am now 37 weeks pregnant and after an hospital appointment last Thursday I have found out that I am now going to be induced next Saturday 24th November at 38 weeks due to the complications and pain that I am now in.<br />
<br />
On a plus side we did get to see our little girl again on Thursday when I had another scan to see if my placenta had moved and reality is now kicking in me thinks :-)<br />
<br />
I am very excited, but very scared (of the labour!!!) at the same time!<br />
<br />
I have been busy making lots of cards for orders that my Mum has taken for me so I am hopefully going to get them finished before I go into Hospital. Other than that I am ready to go for next week!<br />
<br />
I hope to post very soon with pictures of my beautiful little girl when she arrives and with some Christmas cards that I have been making over the last few months to get organised! For once I think I may have done it this year!<br />
<br />

Hi All<br />
<br />
I hope you are all enjoying your Sunday. I am having a very lazy day today for a change.<br />
<br />
I haven't been well over the last couple of weeks and I have been signed off work with high blood pressure and terrible swelling of my feet and legs so I have had to to rest at home. Only 8 weeks to go and counting!<br />
<br />
I have coloured a few images to pass my time and I have started to make my Christmas cards to try and be organised.<br />
<br />
My Mum bought me this lovely Urban Stamp - Tulip Christmas which is called Mistletoe Friends and I love it so I made a simple Christmas card ideal for a couple.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I didn't use any designer paper on this card at all and I love the effect. I also used a 7 x 5 card for something different because I always tend to stick to 8 x 8 or 6 x 6 which can get a little boring.</div>

I coloured the image with my Promarkers and added some snowflakes using my MS punch. The ribbon is from my stash along with the brown button.<br />

<br />
I loved making the card because it was nice to do something different from my usual cute cards and it was a nice change to get a different end result rather than the same old, same old!<br />
<br />
I am off now to have dinner and then get my feet up and watch some TV - I can't miss Downton Abbey or Homeland so no colouring for me tonight!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

Hello,<br />
<br />
I know that it has been a very long time since I blogged; however things have been a little hectic for me. I am now 30 weeks pregnant and since the last time I blogged I have been in hospital and had one thing after another happen so its been a rough road so far. I always knew it would be, but not long now so I am just trying to hang in there. I have 4 weeks left at work so I am on a massive count down till I finish because I am so tired.<br />
<br />
Anyway, onto a card that I have recently made using one of the new Kenny K digis. I just love this one because it is so fun!<br />
<br />

<br />
Excuse the very poor pictures but its been a long time so I am a little out of touch I am afraid. The papers are from Bearly Mine and are digis which my Auntie Chanelle told me about - they are fab so I thought I would give them a go. The spider web border is my beloved new MS punch which my Mum ordered for me. I love it!<br />

<br />
I have used the usual stickles and my trusty spiders from the Asda which I have had for my Halloween cards for the last 2 years.<br />
<br />
Hopefully it won't be long till the next time I blog, but at the moment I am crafting alot but I have very little time to blog with work and trying to sort the house out for the baby. On a plus side Martin has finished the nursery which we are both very proud of so I may pop back with some pictures when the finishing touches are done!<br />
<br />
Love,<br />

<br />
Another long break since my last post, but I have just been soo busy! I am now off work for 2 whole weeks to relax with my Mum and craft. Martin is off the second week to get the nursery finished (hopefully!).<br />
<br />
The last few weeks have just flown by and I have had lots of card orders and projects to make which have kept me busy when I am not at work.<br />
<br />
Yesterday was my 20 week scan and I found out that I am having a little <u><strong>GIRL</strong></u>, a new crafty buddy for myself!!! We are very excited and happy, but it was also a surprise because everyone thought I was having a little boy.<br />
<br />
Here she is: -<br />

I am back at the Hospital next week for another scan and measurements because they couldn't get them all yesterday because of her position.<br />
<br />
Over the next few weeks I want to get lots of crafting done and get organised with orders and Christmas cards....... we will see if I do!!!!!<br />
<br />
I have 8 cards to make for tomorrow ready for my Mum to take to work her so I need to get busy colouring!<br />
<br />
Love Kerry xxx<br />

Well here is the reason I have been a little hit and miss with my blogging..............

Baby Marper is due 8th December 2012!!!! I have had a rough few weeks with it but I am feeling much better now that I have had my 12 week scan. I am 13 weeks and very excited.
I will hopefully be back with some crafting very soon!
Love,
Kerry xxxKerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999121539767535821noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8303365947551581355.post-24417280723427576832012-05-11T10:49:00.001-07:002012-05-11T10:49:13.403-07:00Hello Everyone,
First of all I just wanted to say a big sorry for not being around or dropping by my favourite blogs. I have been poorly and off for the last couple of weeks but I am feeling much better now - fingers crossed!
Right, I need to say two very big THANK YOUS and the first one is to my fantastic <a href="http://chanellesangels.blogspot.co.uk/">Auntie</a> who does a lot of nice things for me when it comes to the hobby that we both love and do together, but this week she has gone that bit further. You may have seen my last post whereby I was on the brink of ditching my blog because I had made a real mess of clicking buttons that I didn't know what they did. Big mistake because I lost everything. I had no idea how to get it back and was so frustrated with it. My Auntie Chanelle offered to take a look so she logged in and managed to fix it for me.
Later in the week I then recieved an email while I was at work to say that the fairies had been to my blog and this is what I saw. How amazing is this???? LOVE IT! Auntie Chanelle had spoken with her Friend in Australia and this is what she had arranged for me! I was soo touched and she knows how happy I am about this.
Secondly, I want to thank the lovely lady, <a href="http://lynnscreativecolorchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">Lynn</a> that made this for me. It's beautiful and I love it - thank you soo much!
Right thats it from me tonight, but I went to the Craft Box last night and treated myself to a few new maggies so hopefully I will be back tomorrow with a card.
Ps - sorry if there is spelling mistakes, but I can't work out where the spellcheck is on the new layout - LOL
Love,
Kerry

Can anyone help me with this new blogger layout????
I have clicked a button saying that I wanted to revert back to the old blogger (that wasn't the exact wording but I can't remember) and I have ended up with this horrible layout!! I can't see my followers or my favourite blogs.
I want my old blog back and I just wondered if anyone knew how to get it??
If not, I am on the brink of just deleting my blog because I really ate this new layout!!!

We have been to see Battleship at the flics and it was a great film.<br /><br />I decided to have a go at the MDUC sketch and here it is:<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6U4t_GEkEFc/T4Wlat_xAaI/AAAAAAAABHI/vsdPYtY5_l0/s1600/002.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6U4t_GEkEFc/T4Wlat_xAaI/AAAAAAAABHI/vsdPYtY5_l0/s320/002.JPG" border="0" <br />alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730167979341054370" /></a><br /><br />This is one of my treasured Magnolia's because she was one of my first oldies from the NEC a couple of years ago. She may not be everyones taste except mine and my Auntie Chanelle's but I LOVE her.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R5gxH4juqJY/T4Wlaf3SF9I/AAAAAAAABG8/zL2g16fNhHg/s1600/001.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R5gxH4juqJY/T4Wlaf3SF9I/AAAAAAAABG8/zL2g16fNhHg/s320/001.JPG" border="0" <br />alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730167975547377618" /></a><br /><br />I decided to colour her on kraft card with my pencils instead of my markers and I am really pleased with how this has turned out. My colouring may not be brill but I still think it looks okay.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBVOfhAJspw/T4WlaAPmXlI/AAAAAAAABGw/-dLmJHfThzw/s1600/003.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MBVOfhAJspw/T4WlaAPmXlI/AAAAAAAABGw/-dLmJHfThzw/s320/003.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730167967059435090" /></a><br /><br />I am going off to link this one up to the Magnolia Down Under Challenge.<br /><br />PS - I have no idea what has happened to my post layout and I will have to try and sort it out later.<br /><br />Love,<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bpAkLe3X3ho/T4WlZysMNHI/AAAAAAAABGk/UXvRNv-BKoY/s1600/859554072DAACEA60D1F043BBB8FC366.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 92px; height: 74px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bpAkLe3X3ho/T4WlZysMNHI/AAAAAAAABGk/UXvRNv-BKoY/s320/859554072DAACEA60D1F043BBB8FC366.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5730167963421258866" /></a>Kerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07999121539767535821noreply@blogger.com6
