So stinkin ill

i am i am......... I have been feeling rotten my nose is dribbling, my bones are aching, my head is throbbing my lips and stinging and to top it off my knees are swolen!!! Today i am 22 but i feel 72...and i think my nan whos 72 is better off then me right now!

I managed to scrap a little the last few days i absaloutly love the little bits of me time i get lately and the fact Sama will sit for 20 mins here and there so i can scrap is awsome!!
This layout is totally a one off thought (shhh) while sitting down watching britains got talent i said aloud i wanted to do that!!! Note wanted but i always place others dreams before my own so this layout is to tell those around me that know me and love me I have a dream its so much easier to express things in layouts... i secretly think most of my layouts have hidden meanings.
Im totally knocked by this layout talk about throw something together and like what you see this layout was a total hmmmmm layout and i absaloutly love tis i think it comes under my NEW FAVE!!!
My 2 girls are currrently lying on my bed next to me playing together they totally rock my socks at times even of Sama is the most naughtiest girl on the planet and has learnt to say Leela did it or NO or You do it or Oh god(dont ask where she learnt that one as i dont say it) or even the fact she totally does the opposite to what i say and the fact its like she is daring me to stick her in the naughty corner or to her room...wow thinking about these things scares me..... i mean shes grown so much already!!! im off to get a hot cuppa.
Love yall and thaks for stopping by

A very lucky women

Hey all


Well in my last post i did a layout saying I'm a very lucky women and well i received an email telling me: Hey you really need to explain your layouts i love your titles and would love to know the story behind them especially the - I'm a very lucky women! First off a word in defence... I'm such a terrible writer and its a learning curve for me so please feel free to point me in the right direction.
So the layout A very lucky women

This layout was totally inspired by how i feel at times, no matter what i go through no matter what happens God has blessed me. If you don't already know i was born a christian and my ethnicity is white British but as i grew my family was not very religious and i found my own path towards religion and i chose Islam. I am truly blessed to be amongst those who have a religion a path of spirituality. I'm also very lucky to have children and a very big family. I'm also lucky to be married and even though i have an angel baby i have still had 3 children, 2 of them that are with me today and everyday my two girls who i love dearly(even if sama does drive me mad). I'm also very lucky to have found scrapbooking as i can document there lives for us all too treasure, i hope that makes sense.

I have had a creative edge lately and totally adore doing bits an pieces of everything and yup experimenting with my pages a little, using my scraps and throwing them on a page to see what i get lol, there is a challenge over on Studio Calicos blog to lift April or scarlets layout and here's my version of it
I love this picture of my mom and younger sister and well felt that taking Aprils layout and making it something of my own was the best step forward, im all for using your stash and used the 0 to frame the butterflies

This layout it inspired by "Uh oh its all boy colours what do i do?" honesltly i have found this kit "jack and jill" by studio calico a challenge but im getting there and getting it used hey where theres a will theres a way right!
Well thats enough ramblings for now enjoy and ill be back soon
Thanks for stopping by

For the love of...sweet sweet SUNSHINE

We have had a real nice sunny day here today and well i made the most of it i took a few pictures and then it was all about spending time with the girls, i really had a fab TANTRUM FREE day. Its looking to be even nicer tomorrow so my friend has asked me to take some pics of her and her 2 sons so im looking forward to that.

It amazes me how to give the girls my undivided attention means quick fix for lunch, take away for dinner and lack of cleaning all day, this also means heaps to do now there in bed....im thinking to just leave it till tomorrow but no i must do it tonight as then theres less to do tomorrow...as we are leaving early in the morning. Hmmm i need motivation right now lol


I managed to do a layout on Saturday and i love it, i used the studio calico garment district kit and found it all just fell in place with the photo... so as i leave you with that.... i may start cleaning...

Thanks for stopping by and showing some love xx

waaaa(from under the duvet)

no not the baby...me as its scary outside there was crashes of thunder and flashes of light and the rain was so hard it sounded like my bay window roof was going to callapse.. yikes!! now thats something i dont like to hear very often.... I had to get out of bed sooner or later and was hoping it would be later but nope the door bell rang and yup you got it i had to go open it and to my surprise it was that little red van with the nice brown box... i couldnt get in quick enough no not just to hide from the thunder and lightening but to open up my studio calico kit yup to my amiss i actually like Jack & Jill more then i thought so need to use all my garment district before diving into another box of yumminess.

Im working on Samas bedroom at the moment and have more then a few prodjects underway. Now i have never really been a off the page craft person other then cooking(which i enjoy doing) but since im finding my way in life i find that i have got skills that i have hidden away and should start using again so i have a few sewing, wall deco, hanging mobile projects underway and cant wait untill her rooms complete so i can share them with you all.. it may take a while to complete them all.... seeds dont blossom over night it takes a few days or weeks to perfect true beauty.
The 2 bambinos are fine (Sama and Aleena that is) so im going to share a few pictures with you from our day in the house yesterday... Enjoy

For the love of girls...hehe

TFSB dont forget to show me some love xxx
