Sorry if I haven't been around to visit you lately, its been a rough week this week. Its two years since our Katie's best friend Jessica died, so with the girlies being off school we have tried to go out a few times. Blackpool illuminations (or halucinations as Nige calls them!) were great & we managed to get the girlies a few Christmas presents as well. So fingers crossed we are out tomorrow if the weather stays dry, but I will be around to see you all on Friday!

Smexy Lady!

Not sure where my head is this week, worried about Nico having his love plums sorted on Friday no doubt lol! The things we put ourselves through for our animals. Not that I would have it any other way....he is doing really great the only reason I'm having him done is....when it comes to mating season next feb-may he will get nasty & all hormonal. So as I'm not breeding from him, it made sense to get him done as soon as possible....so Friday at 9:30 we are taking him to be done!

Anyhoos I'm here to show you my DT creation for The Stamping Chef. As always the theme is...

ANYTHING GOES!

you don't need to use a Stamping Chef image, but if you do, you double your chances of winning!

If your a regular you will know both me & Nige forgot our 16th wedding anniversary earlier in the month..oops! So I decided to make him a card for the 23rd of this month, which will be 19 years since he first kissed me lol! The silly things we remember!!

'Today's The Day'

It's time for the start of a new challenge over at My Time To Craft. Don't forget our challenges are running fortnightly over the summer. I needed to spend time with Nico & I thought the DT deserved some time off after all their hard work this year!

I thought I'd share a picture of my little stinky butt at the beach. He absolutely loved digging & playing in the sand, just hated the wind lol!

He is really funny, because as soon as he sees his lead & harness he knows he is going out & starts getting really excited like a dog would! Nutter!!

Right on with this weeks challenge theme which is.....

UNUSUALLY COLOURED HAIR!

blue, pink, green, purple etc....no black, brown, blonde etc!

I decided to use one of Tamara's image from The Stamping Chef. This image was great to colour, the hardest part was deciding what colour to do her hair lol!
