It's been too long!!

Sorry everyone, I know I have been missing for far too long!
Lots of things been happening on the homefront, and not all pleasurable! Hopefully we have all turned a wee corner and I can get back to "normal". I have really missed being on the CB forum and have been on for the first time in an age tonight but it was so slow that I kept timing out so thought that I had better get a wee post or two on here to keep in touch!
I will need to make sure that I get on at least once a week - me time-to keep up with the gossip and chat.
I have done some cards over the last few months and have even done my first ever wedding invitations, so will post some pics (haven't taken photo of invites yet though!) Anyway it's nice to be back! Caroline xxxxx

A wee holiday

Well we did manage to get away for a wee holiday as our friends offered their holiday house to us as they were off to visit family in Spain. So David was granted the time off work, a friend was found for Sophie to take, freezer filled for eldest daughter as she wasn't able to come due to work and off we went in a rush as we decided to go on Sunday instead of Monday as was the original plan ( please note that we decided to leave on the Sunday at 1130am on said Sunday!!!! Nothing packed or organised- of course!!)

The weather in Lendalfoot, Ayrshire coast, was spectacular on Sun and Mon, and the girls were in swimming in the sea. Next few days not so great but we had plenty to do, cards and articulate and they took the wii too. We also went to the Gemrock museum in Creetown which was fantasic, and after that we headed off to the beach armed with a huge hammer to see if we could find any agates or precious stones - I don't know what people must have thought we were up to!!! Anyway we never made our fortune on the beach that evening but we had a good laugh trying. So we had a lovely, relaxing time. I did miss my crafting though, note to self- take crafting stash on future holidays!
