Updates

So sorry that i haven't been posting much, with things going on at work and home, things have been a bit of a distressing time of late.

Probate is through at last which to us means we can sell the house and get a new caravan in wales in Llwyngwril not far from Fairbourne, where his moms old caravan is and we are hoping to put some of her ashes on the bush with Nicks dads if we haven't lost the plot ( which I'm hoping we haven't)

Chloe and Clover are getting on better which is good news Chloe loves going out while Clover still is lazy as ever but she will get up and play occasionally with Chloe play fighting. seems as Chloe's ear is healed well considering we don't actually know what happened but it makes her unique lol. As you can see from the photo she seems happy enough and still manages to cause trouble

Work is still the same I'm still based at New Street Station where i hate if I'm honest and I'm so used to being busy in that job I'm not :( . The case is still ongoing which means I'm still ill on and of and as much as i was being positive and thinking the same the visit to the work doctor wasn't what i hoped, he brought it all back to life where i was ill again and this time 10 times worse so after trying not to to go see my own GP, which he is brilliant and tries to help me out with different medications and to try to stop the stress and the anxiety and so again back on tablets to try help me out. Since November i have lost about 1 stone and half my mom said not all bad but i didn't want to loose it from being ill. Im hoping the end of may we will have it all resolved and i can get back to my job as roster clerk as i really miss the signallers and the managers as much as it pains to upset me. lol but they arent all bad just proved to me who i can really trust in this job and the answer is about 4 that's very low with how many i speak and get on with but someone once said to me " when your a roster clerk everyone wants to be your friend" and trust me that's so true.

Also lost a friendship who i valued allot as she said i wasn't there for her and i was on such a downer i was being selfish and in my own world so I'm sorry Lynne x

Take care all

atcs for feb

So sorry I haven’t been updating as much as I should do so apologies.

The projects for the atc’s for this month were Fairy Tales. Anniversaries the butterfly of the month was red and the just for fun challenge was red and gold.

Red Butterfly


The above was an image I had ages ago and loved then and when it was red the colour I had to use it didn’t i!
The lips was highlighted with diamond glaze to make It look glossy and kissable, and the butterfly was layered up so it gave it some texture and height

Gold and Red challenge

Made a simple atc with another half of one folded into it, used black card and red card and some gold thin peel off’s. The stamp was an old one from Lakelands oriental range which was pretty so I embossed it with a gold fine embossing powder and used the other stamp a small coin which was embossed onto the card.
The coins was from a shop that sells stuff quite cheaply which I took apart ages ago and added a few gems in gold.

Fairy Tales

All fairy tales I love and will love forever

Peter pan was highlighted with diamond glaze and the moon was highlighted with some stickles gold glitter and made into a book with a very short version of what happened.

The princess and the pea was an image from Google what made me smile made the crown more intense with glitter glue and some gems and made the pea stand out with some diamond glaze

Anniversaries

Gold anniversary was some gold card and used a glitter peel off round the edges and topper which was gold metal and a peel off

Silver anniversary a tatty bear printed out and layered onto some pale blue card the cake has mini gems on ( thanks to nail art gems) and the little hearts was beads on a string that moves



Thanks for looking
