New banner
The lovely Tracey at http://www.tracey-tlc.blogspot.com highlighted on her blog that Rachelle Anne Miller allows bloggers to use her images as their blog headers, which is fab. I popped along to Rachelle's blog at http://rachelleannemiller.com to take a look. I fell in love with her little cat and as you can see I have replaced my old banner with that. There are just a few proviso's. You must tell everyone where you got the banner from and leave a link to Rachelle's blog. You mustn't alter the image in any way and only use it as a blog banner. Rachelle would also like you to let her know that you are using one of her images on your blog by dropping her an email. Hope you like. Thanks for looking.

Sorry no cards but ...
I have a week off from work this week and foolishly told the kids that they had to tidy up their rooms. Ultimately that has meant me tidying their rooms whilst they hover around me! My back is now in half and I'm shattered. I did the DS2's room yesterday and DS1's room today. I am embarassed to show the before photo's but to appreciate the difference I have to. I forgot to take photo's before I started yesterday so I've only DS1's room to show you. Please don't think bad of me but they are 14 and 11.5 so big enough to clean their own rooms - but I couldn't leave them any longer. I'm hanging my head in shame *wink*. Thanks for looking.

Another wedding card
60th Birthday cards
For the second card I used a penny black image, again coloured with pencils. The dp is by buzzcraft and I bought it from handy hippo. I used bazzill bling cs for matting my image and sentiments and a small piece to go through my button. Button was from my stash and sentiment was done on my pc (papyrus font). I prefer the second card but all in all not too bad. Thanks for looking.

School is over!
I can't believe the school year is over. My youngest son had his last day in Junior School yesterday and came home with his shirt covered in messages and signatures from his friends and teachers. He was a little sad to be leaving most of his friends behind (there are two catchment secondary schools for his junior school but most children don't go to the one that my son will be going to. We moved after my son started junior but decided to keep him there). I made quite a few thank you cards for the teachers but stupidly forgot to take photo's of them before my son wrote on them and took them to school. He received an award for excellent attendance and was given £50.00 to spend on a gift of his choice (lucky or what - when I was at school we just used to have colouring pencils or something!) He choose a computer game (!) and a lego stegasaurus model to build. I can't believe he will be starting secondary school in September, my boys are growing up so fast. Sorry if I've waffled on. Thanks for sticking to the end (if you have).
I'm a lucky girl!
The picture above shows a beautiful card and wallet, which contained all the lovely images shown, from Tracy at Ella Bella (see link on the sidebar).
The second card and images (above) was sent to me by Michelle at the Card Grotto (again link on my sidebar).
Both cards are absolutely stunning and they put mine to shame ;( I loved the images and can't wait to put them to good use. Thanks for your kindness and generosity girls!!
Thanks for looking.
