Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Hayden adores his wee sister and she has settled into the family perfectly.

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.

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.

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
