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

scrapadabado and tantrums ado

Life with a toddler who's tantrums are way out of control isn't very nice at all. I once had this child who was so angelic like and i think somewhere between 18 and 19 months she got kidnapped over night by some aliens...but surely they returned her as they couldn't cope either.... how to deal with them i just don't know do i?

• lock her in her room for 2 minutes like my family suggest
• start the naughty chair which is hard as not everyone will follow it
• ignore her which is hard as the inlaws wont

or combine them all, its so hard as i have people who reward her for this behaviour and it makes it so much harder for me to teach her its wrong. I went shopping yesterday and could have died from the tantrums she was throwing...on the floor! i was pulling a brave smile as many passerby threw me the dirty look from the corner of there eye, i feel like i cant take her any where anymore..... i need a solution.

On a lighter note the sunshine has been shining and the housework done i got me some scrapping done....outside in the garden and i cant tell you how nice it was at one end of the garden table sama was painting and at the other end of the table i was scrapping it was very peaceful

We came in from the garden around 7pm and the wind down ritual went as planned but i do wish my little girl would return!!

Well thanks for stopping by and showing some love

Feeling rather Grugged out

Yes you read it right im feeling grugged out, its not a word but its my word well for feeling rather yuck... im extremely exhausted and i have that horrid feeling in my throat, the one where its like im gonna get a very sore throat or a very bad cold.

Im half way done with the big sort out im planning to complete my ironing today in the garden as well for some reason Sama wont play out there alone so to have the best of both worlds im gonna stand in the sun and iron the day away. We have had loads of sun and did take the chukkies to the nature centre to see the animals which turned out to be a fab day.

Sorry for the pic overload lol but it was fun the boys and man in the first picture is my best friends husband and sons it truely was a great day

Anyway for now TFSB and showing some love

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

There shall be light at the end of the tunnel

Today has started of as a better day..... I got a full nights sleep, i woke up cleaned the house and cooked Aubergine curry and by 11am im having fun with sama who got my camera and asked 'picta' so we had a tad bit of photo fun.. before my dad came and picked her up

I have decided that for me to fix things and be happy i need to be happy with myself so im planning for a change from tomorrow the post pregnancy diet begins and im going to book an appointment with the hair dresser today but need ideas on cuts to suit me any ideas would be nice....

With sumble not here i have decided to have a me day today, shower, facial etc etc so im off and will be back soon with some questions and pics of my current projects

TFR and show some love

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
