TTPH challenge # 80

Good Afternoon,

Sorry i have been missing for a few weeks.
Sadly i have been trying to deal with the rather sudden passing of my wee sister at the end of January.

I am slowly getting there and have started to craft again which is helping keep me busy.
I would like to say a huge Thank You for all the support i have received from all the lovely ladies at TTPH.
Also to Ru from My SVG Hut and Tina Fallon who's design teams i am on.

Also to my darling husband who has been my rock. Don't know what i would do without him.

So it's time for a new challenge over at TTPHC.
We are sponsored this week by Kenny K

dragon designs challenge 74

Good Morning, well it's very cold and frosty here in Lochgelly this morning.
I hope you are all safe and warm.
How was your weekend? Did you all get some crafting done?

I have been suffering with really bad toothache for the last 2 weeks. 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

This week we have a new sponsor for 2015


It is so nice to be working with the stunning images from Janette again, especially those adorable dragons

So this weeks theme is Spring


So here is my inspiration

Challenge #67 Tonic and Sassy Studios

Good Afternoon,

Sorry this post is late, was meant to go live at 10am this morning but received some news that threw me off course.

So did everyone have a good Halloween and Bonfire night.

I had a great Halloween, me and hubby went to the annual party at my friends house. What a laugh and some great costumes again this year.


We went as Zombies.

Never really celebrated Bonfire night this year as Hayden is very keen on the load bangs but we did have some fireworks at Gaz's aunties last night with his family. Hayden stayed inside with his gran.


So it's time for a new challenge over at TTPH
