Where did October go????

Who stole October! It's almost the end of the month. Which is good and bad. Good because it means my birthday is nearer but BAD because it means the year is nearly over and our holiday, feels like just a distant memory!

Speaking of holiday I finally ordered some of the pictures, only 500 of them!!!! Only scrapped one of them so far. There are too many to pick from, it hurts my head to try and decide where to start.

I've had a busy week, spent two days on a training course so I'm totally confused about which day of the week it is?!?!? Monday seems like such a long time ago.

I must confess I have a new addiction, well border line obession! (well not really new just refreshed!) Mr Nikki Sixx!!! He's just simply amazing! How gorgeous is this photo :wub:



Having read his new book "The Herion Diaries" on holiday, which shows a realistic side of addiction and depression, you see a "celebrity" in a new light. It's quite a bold step for someone in the public eye to be so open about what they had done with regards to drugs and alcohol. But it also highlights that he is able to come through it and he's trying to put that to positive use by supporting a charity in LA for young, homeless kids.

Plus he's not to rough on the eyes either LOL

I've not done that much scrapping lately, did do some of the UKS cyber crop. Made a really nice birthday book and my very first card. Even did some stitching of paper using my sewing machine. Kinda given me inspiration to make my own christmas cards this year. So if I can find the time I'll probably give that a go!

Going to Crafts for Scotland at the SECC on Sunday so I might try and get some fab christmas papers there and see what I can come up with.

Where did the weekend go?????

Can't believe it's Sunday night! What have I done this weekend? This week in fact. Feels like I've slept (or been in a daze anyway) Spent yesterday helping my sister at her stall at the Scottish Quilt Championships, it was really good. Lots of fantastic quilts on display, the hard work and talent is so inspiring. Always think I'll give it a go but for some reason I can't seem to get into quilting. Hey ho!

Took ages to get back over the forth road bridge but at least we had a shortcut to it only took about 30 mins to get onto the bridge - some other people looked like they were going to waiting at least an hour!!!! Bloomin' road works :(

Anyway had to pop into see my dad on the way home to get my final instructions before he went on holiday, so eventually got home at 7.15pm - 12 hours after I left it!!! Decided to go out for dinner but when we got to the pub they had no tables left and the kitchen was closing at 8pm so ended up with a fish supper - not good for the diet but tasty all the same. Even left some for Jack!

Had intended to spend today doing loads of scrapping but didn't get out of bed until lunchtime, went food shopping, did housework, had Sunday lunch, Pete went to Tilly for his gig (first time for this duo so was a bit nervous!),watched some telly we recorded when on holiday, ordered both our road taxes online (need them for tomorrow - opps!!!!) and now it's 11pm. Did take some pics for doing my LO in a CJ but need to print them tomorrow. Thank goodness tomorrow is a public holiday and I've got the day off - will definitely do scrapping tomorrow. Got so much I need to catch up on.

It's been a hard days night!!!!

I've never had jet lag before but boy have a suffered this week. Got back from Florida last Saturday morning and stayed awake the whole of Saturday. Slept for 13 hours on Sunday and I thought that would be enough to get back to normal! WRONG!!!!! Still not quite back to a normal awake/sleep pattern. Never mind the holiday was more than worth it.

I've taken hundreds and hundreds of photos of the two weeks - 1190 to be exact LOL Trying to upload them to order copies and it's taking ages.

Looking forward to getting them back and scrapping lots and lots of LOs, get to use my new stash too :)

Having a Sunday!!!

Yep, I'm having a Sunday. Been up since just after 7am this morning, which is unheard of for me!!!!!

Only 5 more sleeps til we leave for Florida, yay! Got a friend from work house-sitting while we're away so I've been cleaning like mad today lol!

Now the house is lovely and tidy, the cases are about 75% packed, the rest can't be done until later this week as it's stuff we use every day. So all I need to do now is load more stuff onto my ipod, clear the memory from my camera and watch disney dvd's :)

So I'm off to chill out and look forward to getting on a plane in 5 days.

Almost 2 weeks to go!!!!!!

Cannot believe that we fly out to Orlando 2 weeks tomorrow! It only seems like the other week we book it and now we're getting ready to leave. Suitcases are down from the loft, holiday clothes are in suitcase! Spending money is almost all transferred into dollars, passports and documents are ready and waiting.

Just need to be patient now!!!!!

New beads for my bracelet came today. Need to get new photos dones and post them online. Having a mini crop tonight at a friends's so need to look out some photos. Got a CJ entry to get done and posted at the weekend.
