Hi everyone!

Ihave soaked up some me time this morning, you know, that lovely make whatever I fancy with no reason other than to just play kinda time? I loved it! for me its very much a case of splodge on the stamp, grab the nearest dies, colour and splodge on some flowers but I love how this cutie came out!!

I masked off the bottom of my Dewdrop circle so I could just get the head-ish bit of this stamp. I love how thoughtful she looks just sitting there.

So thats me for today!! not many Lou waffles because my tummy is doing that feeeeeed me growl!! lol! soup here I come!!!

Huge hugs and thank you's for popping in

Evening peeps!

well I can't resist sharing this cutie anymore! I was reeeeally trying to sit on my hands until friday to post it but I have folded!!!lol!!

I love this little 'birthday fishes' sentiment too. Its from the Floating by clear stamp set, also from Tiddly Inks and I had a hard time choosing from the 2 fabulous sentiment circles in the set, in the end I totally cheated and let Mo choose! he he he!!

Isn't she just gorgeous! I had to make her real mermaid looking of course with some  green hair and magical scaley skin!! here's a better picture of how she looks!

Right, time to chill, we took Mo to the fair tonight with his little friend and my friend and he loved it!! Scott got totally squished by Mo and I on the Jimeney cricket ride! it makes me laugh the whole way through! its bouncy and sooo much fun!!! and so many other rides were just £1 tonight! fabulous fun, we left nibbling freshly made donuts and sweets! perfect!!!! here's mo on one of the inflatable slides, it was sooo funny, my camera took the photo just as his hair floofed up and looked like Wolverine!!!

Afternoon peeps!

Its my turn to post over on the Mo's Clubhouse blog today in with a magical baby fairy make to cheer up your weekend! This 3 Baby Fairies set is one of my absolute favorites from the shop, its so sweet.

I coloured this little cutie pie up a few weeks ago and have only just gotten round to attaching him to somethings! it felt soooo good to take a break from the tiling of the bathroom and make a bit of something!

I made a little sentiment on my computer and cut it with a label die and just tucked it in over on the top right. This little cutie really didn't need much more than that.

Right...back to the tiling! just a little bit left to do and then grouting! 

Thank you for popping in

Awareness..New release at Tiddly Inks

Image- Awareness from Tiddly Inks.

Papers- ''stars'Past freebie from Tiddly Inks.

Doodlebug Designs Hip Hip Hooray.

ok, so these little guys needed a post all of their own. I am so so so excited about the new release over in the Tiddly Inks store today because for me and my little Mo it is such a very, very special one.

Many of you will know already that Little Mo was diagnosed with autism just over a year ago after receiving the best support ever from his new school at the age of 9.

We have had a huge journey since then, sometimes overwhelming with the news of a genetic change that still has Mo as the only child in the world with a large gain on his chromosome 10 where there would normally be a loss in autistic children. We are taking part in a trial to help people learn more about autism. We've all had various blood tests and other genetic tests, Dr's visits, hospital visits etc but its all been very helpful and the most special and important part is that the school where Mo has been for the past 17 months has been so supportive and so amazing for Mo that it really has changed our lives.

Mo will always struggle with the world that is outside of our house doors, some of it amazing..like the zoo or american sweetie aisles in the shop!! and some of it scary depending on how brave he is feeling,especially school..but with acceptance and support it has all been so much more positive for him. Going out in ear defenders or clear plastic goggles in the norm in our house!!!

So enough Lou waffle, a mamma can never put autism into words! there are so many twists and turns in it!! you just want to see the new images and makes right?!!! so here's another one!!! ...

and here is what you get....linkied right to where you can get it in the store!!!! wohooo! quick! go get 'em! I love that Christy included a girl, it is often forgotten that girls suffer with autism too.

Right, off to get my gorgeous lil guy ready for school. I'll be back again later with my passion for promarkers challenge post.

Feed the birds!!

Hi everyone!! 

Its time for me to share another make for Funky Daze month using the Funky Daze original CD ROM. This CD is actually one of my first ever buys from Funky Hand all those years ago! 

I used a Silhouette store box cutfile with the Monday's Child colourway. I am still in the super spring celebration mood and these colours were just perfect for the job!! I made a little birdy treats box. This is actually one of my dad's 60th birthday pressies, he LOVES feeding the birds so I thought it was the perfect way to present the seed.

So, whats on the CD you ask?? From the cool blues and greens of Monday Morning to the vibrant pink and black of Saturday shopping you are sure to find a collection of backing papers that will be perfect for your next craft project, papers and wordbooks all ready for you to print and go!!!

please pop in to the Funky Daze CD ROM page in the shop and check out the gallery of makes the DT have in there already.

Soldier Boy 60th.....

Image- Soldier Boy.

Afternoon Peeps!!

Its my turn to post over on the Mo's Clubhouse blog and it was a super lucky thing too as I used this super duper little Soldier Boy image because today is my fabulous Dad's 60th birthday!!

He was a SGT Major in the British army and Mo is always amazed  by that so when we were sat picking DT images for this month this lil guy came top of my list! (....well...along with like 30 more!! romfl!!!!!!) 

I had such fun camouflaging his little jacket up. I used 4 pens and just smooshed them together in little patches! it turned out so cool! I Love it!!

The papers are from one of my oldest stacks, Making Memories Just Chillin' 6x6 pad, I will actually cry real tears when this pad runs out!! lol!!

Right, got to go, I am still feeling a bit ack today but the icky temp I had last night has pootled off...taking all my energy with it!! Scott is busy killing re-modelling Mo's bathroom and Mo is busy with a pile of lego's so I am just going to read and chill on the bed and chat away to them!!

huge hugs and thank you for popping in
