It's been a while....

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted something on my blog! Time flies even faster when you work school terms. The summer holidays are nearly upon us and the weather is still naff!
 I have this image in my head that come Thursday the weather is going to change dramatically for the better....don't know why - it never does!
It was our school sports day yesterday, and as always I was praying for torrential weather so that it would be cancelled at the last minute (oh stop it! I am not the only one), but alas it went ahead, and I actually quite enjoyed it.  I had to run in two races and although we didn't get a placing we did get an ice cream for our efforts. Thank goodness it's only once a year.
I have been busy  since my last post, thanks to the boxed baby card I made.  Lots of orders for boxes, cards and cards in boxes, unusual, funny and sentimental. Keep 'em coming folks.
It's a busy time of the year for our family anyway and I've been trying to keep up with the special birthdays and anniversaries this year, but with 7 weeks holidays round the corner I can relax a bit more and take my time over the rest of them.
Something that is bugging me at the moment is seeing so much Christmas craft ideas on web sites and in blogs. I can't quite get into Christmas mode, I haven't had my summer holidays yet! I don't do Christmas until the October holidays (or am I being naive?)

50th Birthday

My youngest daughter (20), was hinting that she wanted a leopard gecko for her birthday. Nae chance! For a start I vowed there would be no more pets after all the fish died, and secondly it would have to live in her bedroom and she would be in danger of losing the tank due to the severe untidiness of the place!! I kid you not. And anyway when she swans off back to uni in September, I'd be the one looking after it and feeding it bugs. I canna cope with the multitude of spiders we get, never mind live crickets.

Instead I bought her a few gecko related items and made her a 'special' card. Maybe this will quench her thirst for reptilia for a while. Here's hoping. 

And in the words of Bugs Bunny.... that's all folks...Until the next time......
