Long time no blog!........

Well what can I say, I've had never ending washing to do and have been sorting out the kids clothes to see what still fits and what needs to be given away, some of the stuff nearly new, but lets hope it goes to a good home. It would be so wasteful to just throw it away and the truly worn stuff can be re-used as cleaning rags.

On the jewellery side of things I've got some new pearls and stones to play with, so I just need to find the time to get creating!

I've been tagged!.......

My friend Ruth's gone and tagged me lol

The rules are

Start with 7 random facts/habits about yourself
People who are tagged have to write their 7 things on their blog
Then choose another 7 people to get tagged and list their names
Don't forget to leave them a comment to tell them they have been tagged and to read your blog

So here goes...

1) I watched the Lord of the Rings animation at the cinema when I was 3 and thought it was real. I think I had a crush on frodo, well I was very little too.

2) I Like eating mangoes (Venezuelan are the best!) with the skin still on.

3) One of my things to do, is go to Japan and see the Japanese Snow Monkeys (macaques).

4) I like eating the foam off the top of my cappuccino slowly with a spoon.

5) I hate the smell of salt fish cooking!

6) I was a chocoholic....

7)I haven't had time to read my Juno magazine (holistic parenting), because I have 5 kids and very little peace!

Now who on earth can I tag????

If you'd like to be tagged let me know, because most people I know don't even really know what blogging is...

Tummylicious......................

I've started a new blog called Tummylicious and it's all about food! As I have to feed a family of seven, five of which are children, I'm always having to think about food from various angles. I also love talking to other people about it and finding out what they eat and how they prepare it. Have a look, you might learn something new!

We've got stamps......

Well were to start.....I took my daughter Nyah to our first Big stamp and scrapbook show, it was nice and sunny so we walked to Alexandra Place. Once there we bought our tickets with no probs, there were no big ques, so we entered the main hall and in a word it was hectic! For beginner's to the whole card making/stamping craft it was kind of hard to know were to start. There were ladies with suit cases doing serious shoping and I was so glad/lucky that I had left my bank card at home, as there were so many beautiful stamps, papers,buttons and prima flowers to buy and I would have bought them! We were glad that we went, because we were able to see all the different marterials and even some technique demos. We bought some Colour box cats eye ink stacks and some transparent stamp sets and as soon as we got home the kids started stamping and they loved it!

Weddings by Ruth.........

Here I had a quick play around with these photos of Ruth's beautiful wedding pieces, hand crafted by her with care and many years experience (we started making jewellery when we were still at secondary school!) Above is the before photo, below the after pic.

This photo was taken using the flash mode on her camera and I managed to make the table disappear. To see more beauties, visit her blog!
