It's Launch Day!

You may (or may not) wonder why I've been so quiet of late - no new tags, no new news!  Well, I've been busy building a new website.  Most of you will have seen the scrapbook layouts I make for Cala and Alfie - I've had so many comments about them and enquiries about how to get them, that I've decided to open an online store where I can (maybe) sell them to a wider audience. It's taken me about two weeks to build from scratch and, despite setbacks (won't even go there!), I think it's finally ready to go 'live'!  So, here it is, ready or not - just hope it loads as the host servers were down earlier (typical!). 



If you notice any broken links, etc. would appreciate it if you could let me know!
Ciao!

I just couldn't resist buying a new scrapkit yesterday - it's called 'Pink Zephyr' and is by Irene Alexeeva - I love it!  I spent most of yesterday playing with the kit and here are the latest results using the pics I took of Cala on holiday.




I also decided to make a special layout for Mum which I hope I can print up and send to her.


It's been extremely hot here the last couple of days; in the high 80s, and no breeze.  I'm not good in the heat - I just get lethargic and grumpy, lol.  As it's a bit cooler today (we had rain overnight), we have decided to go strawberry picking - it's probably the last chance this season and I'm hoping the rain didn't ruin what is left to pick.  Luke eats as many as he picks so it's good job they don't weigh you on the way in and out again!  Have a feeling it'll be Eton Mess for pudding later!  Ciao for now!

Hola! from Lanzarote

It´s our last full day (boo-hoo), and I´ve just managed to commandeer Stacey´s PC while she´s at work, and Kevin´s playing Padel Tennis.  We´ve had an absolutely lovely time even though the weather has been decidedly temperamental - always very warm, but quite a lot of cloudy skies.  We will be checking out of our hotel tomorrow morning and going to Stacey´s apartment to spend the rest of the day until our flight at 8.10pm (Monday) - which gives us most of the day together.  Am dreading saying goodbye - Mum´s already had a teary moment this morning, which she´d kept quiet about till just now!

Here´s a picture of Cala after her first taste of baby rice! 



We decided to try first stage weaning as she´s been getting more and more whingey between bottle feeds and had started waking during the night again.  She took to the spoon practically straight away and seems to really enjoy the whole feeding experience.  Stacey and I spent yesterday preparing ice cube trays full of pureed pototo, cauliflower, carrot, apple and pear so she can try out new flavours over the coming weeks.

I don´t have any other photos yet, as I´m using Stacey´s computer and not sure where she saves her pics to - will post some others when I get back home.  Just about to have some lunch with Kevin and Mum - Cala is at her other nanny´s as Stacey had to go to work this morning and Kevin was playing Padel Tennis so his Mum had to babysit - she´s not seen much of her while Mum and I have been here so I can´t complain. lol!
Well, my ´sandwich mixto´ (ham and cheese toastie) is ready so I´ll say ciao for now and love to you all.

The Birthday Party tag!

Another tag combining the fab talents of Lily Designs (scrapkit), and Suzanne Woolcott - it's called simply, 'The Birthday Party' and you can request it now at SS - it won't be posted on the forum till Monday!  Hope everyone's enjoying the fab weather - I spent the day gardening, more from necessity than choice but at least my lawn's less like a wilderness now.  Planning to have a bar-b-q tomorrow which, by default, will probably mean it will be raining come 5pm - don't you just love the British weather! (and that's rhetorical, btw).  Off to play Google logo Pacman again - I'm so easily entertained, lol. Ciao for now!

Giggles from Cala

Stacey sent me this clip a few weeks back, when Cala was 9 weeks old - is there anything cuter than a baby's giggles?!

A new day, a new tag

Preview of my latest tag creation, using the fab kit of SussieM and Suzanne Woolcott's Gorjuss girls.  You can get it now from SS before anyone else - this one will be posted at the weekend.

First come, first served!

Another pretty for you to grab before anyone else - I'm calling it 'Bicycle Ride' for pretty obvious reasons, lol. You can request it now at SS before anyone else - I'll be posting it in the Gorjuss folder at the weekend (if I can remember!). This time I used a new kit from Irene Alexeeva, called 'Make Me Smile' - adore the colours, and a gorjuss Suzanne Woolcott girl - hope you like it! Ciao!
