So so glad it's Friday.

I suffer with asthma and the change in the weather has been tough on my chest,

 I sound like I have smoked 50 a day all my life - when I have never smoked at all!!

It's so tiring I could sleep for England!!

My card today is for the Ribbon Girl Challenge

I have used the LOTV Spring Swing which is retiring very soon - 

and I'm so glad I've got it - it's just beautiful.

Thank you for stopping by - 

and wish you a happy weekend whatever your plans are.

The sun is shining here again today - we go walking in The Lakes next week - you can just imagine can't you - gorgeous weather all this week and pouring with rain next !!!

Eleanor's friend, Amy, was 11 last week and here is the card I made for her - Eleanor didn't want me to put her age on it so if she wanted to keep it in a frame she could ......

Happy 1st Birthday Opal xx

Thank you to my new Linky followers !!

My gorgeous niece, Opal, is one today - where on earth has that time gone....

I decided to use a LOTV image that had come free pre-printed with a magazine - the paper was also free with the same magazine !!

We won't be spending the day with Opal as she lives in Kent but we did see her this week and had special birthday hugs :0)

A sneaky peak at the inside - cards just don't feel complete now

 if I don't embellish the inside ....

Just a quick one......

Has been a funny old weekend - both John and I felt wrong being here - first weekend in two months we have been home......we didn't achieve anything and now feel that we have wasted it !!??!!

It was my neighbour's sons birthday a couple of weeks ago and here is the card I made for him - like all boys of that age he is always in front of a game !!

I loved the vibrant colours - out of my comfort zone but I think it worked.

A stitch in time.....

I am in love with my new sewing machine - small that it is

 - it is so easy to use and takes up very little space...

..I gave it it's first try yesterday and loved loved loved it !!

Over at LCI the challenge is 'Use your new stash' - I have used my new sewing machine !! , ribbon from Dies to Die for , stamp from LOTV.

I love the ribbon too - it is so scrumptious - I came to buy some more yesterday and it is out of stock :(

Eleanor has a school buddy called Anna - who she looks out for in the playground and dinner hall etc - and she absolutely adores her.

Can you believe it's her birthday on Sunday - and it's mine too - bizarre how often this happens.....I have 5 friends (or friends children) who share my birthday !!!

So - did I tell you I got a sewing machine for Christmas - and I love love love it !!

Here is my creation for Anna - I hope there is enough pink and glitter for a 5 year old girl :)

Pretty in Pink....

Italy was perfect - just what we needed as a family.....

John, Lewis and Eleanor at the Spanish steps in Rome - Lewis sporting his new Ferrari hoodie and holding his Ferrari store bag !!

We took a detour to Maranello - which is the birthplace of Ferrari - and we took him to the Galleria Ferrari - he was so overcome with emotion when he walked into the room where all the Ferraris were kept he began to cry and it made it worth the extra journey......

Mummy put too many bubbles in the jacuzzi - but it was

so worth the fun they had !!!

Now onto my creation for this weeks LCI challenge - oh did I mention the excitement I felt when I got home and had made last weeks Top 3 - thank you so much Lady bugs !!

Lewis' New Chapter....

My son started high school yesterday - he was walking around in a daze last night and just couldn't get any sentence out without tripping over his words ....tonight he is teary someone has said something quite hurtful - it's such an emotional time.....as a parent you want to protect them but you know that they have to go through it......horrible :(

Here are Lewis and Eleanor on there way to school yesterday morning......

I made Lewis this card yesterday morning - not quite high school boy but he loved it.

Monday Blues.....

On my blog yesterday I was wishing for 3 day weekends - to be honest I don't work but find the week with Lewis and Eleanor's commitments worse than any job - today Eleanor was sent home from school ill but I still needed to collect  Lewis at 3:15 and get him somewhere for 4pm - logistically impossible when I have a husband working away and a sick child but not to disappoint Lewis - we went bucket and hot water bottle in tow !!! - mum's do jobs that no-one would apply for I'm sure !!!

Hoping Eleanor is well enough tomorrow as I have a Ladies night to prepare for - cards and jewellery - plus it's her birthday on Wednesday......

Here is a card that I made this morning ......

Wish we had three day weekends......

I never seem to have enough time at weekends anymore to achieve what I need to....am I slowing down or is time going quicker ?!?!

I made this card a few weeks ago for my SIL who loves cooking and baking - or if she doesn't put it this way she's fabulous at it.
