Good evening everyone, 

Well i am back in blog land, yeepee.

It has been a very long few months.

I am now a mummy again to a gorgeous wee girl.

Please meet Isla Kimberley Mary Hood, Born 22nd November 2015 at 15.14, weighing 8lb half an ounce, measuring 50cms long.

And here is our 1st family photo

First hold while at my Mum's

Wanted his photo taken with Isla

Their first photo shoot together

So as you can see it's been a busy few months but we are now into a great wee routine.

So i can now get back to crafting and hopefully be able to pick up my pens and get some colouring done and finish off my classes from Kit & Clowder.

So keep your eyes peeled for some lovely DT samples coming up over the next few weeks.

First one will be this weekend.

I would like to say a huge Thank You for all the support i have received from all the lovely ladies at TTPH.

Friday was the tipping point for me and i had to be brave and go to the dentist ( i hate the dentist) i have caused a trauma to the root of one of my front bottom teeth and it has caused abscess. So a course of antibiotics for a week.

Anyways enough of that it's time for a new challenge over at TTPH
