Could it be I,m falling in love..!!!

Well I am feeling a little flushed and all the excitement has gone to my head. I have got sweaty palms and the butterflies in my stomach seem to be stomping around in big hobnail boots. I cant concentrate and a urgent feeling of longing keeps sweeping over me. I have to say it is a long, long time since I felt like this. So who is it that's making me react in this way..???

Orla kielly of course and her Autumn Winter releases.




This my fave collection she has ever done, I feel. And this is my fave dress from my fave collection, ;lol. I just love it,love it, love it . And I want it now!!!!!

One of these days I will be the proud owner 0f that dress. I know they cost a fortune, but I think I would live in it!!! And I would team them with these little beauties from Russell & Bromley's. How wicked are these. I have been searching for them for 6 mths, and now here they are.
And some more pages from one of m journals. I loved doing this and time flew.










Yummy...!! Nuff said..!!!!
Enjoy xx

When was the last time you rode the top deck..???

Today was Maisie day , where I get to indulge in her company all day long. My little piece of heaven in my ever turbulent world. We had a gorgeous day which ended with a birthday tea for her Daddy. My youngest son Tom was 25 yesterday. WTF???? 25..??? When did he grow up ( oh sorry, forgot hes a man hes not going to is He??lol) ((Oops sorry Paul , Brian and the rest, you know I,m seriously tongue in cheek!!!)) Anyway he might be 25 and 6ft 3in but hes still my baby all the same. When he was born he was massive. He weighed 10lb 14oz and he was so long that he only just fitted into the cots in the nursing home. The normal nappies didn't fit him and so the nurses had to run to the chemist across the road for bigger ones, lol. He never crawled at all, just shuffled on his bottom now and again, and then at the age of 9mths he just stood up and walked and hes never stopped since. I know you night find this rather frightening but he is just like me!!! The other 3 are real laid back and Tom is the hyperactive, workaholic, cant sit still,want it all now and wont stop till he gets it. Does that sound familiar..???? At the age of one he was wearing clothes for 3 yr old and had to have new shoes every 3 to 4 weeks, but now hes as skinny as a lamppost, not an ounce on him..!!! But as I said before he will always be my happy, always smiling, chubby little babe.
Glad you liked the Banana Splits video. Check this one out. This was also one of my favourite programmes, but now it just seems so cringe worthy. Ha ha they wouldn't get a place on strictly judging by their dancing would they..??

Ok altogether now.......

Get on board! get on board! Come and join the Double Deckers. Take a ticket for our journey, on our double decker London bus. Ring the bell ding ding, toot the horn, honk, honk, when you ride with the Double Deckers. Fun and laughter is what we're after, on our double, double, double decker bus.

I,m such a spoilt little journaler..!!!

What a surprise I got in my kids workshop tonight. The lovely Claudia had a pressie for me which she chose especially when she was on holiday in Turkey. Its a Journal and its just soooooo gorgeous.!!Thank you babe I love it soooooo much. Just look at the clasp, how ace is that then...???

So of course I had to make a start in it, lol. This didn't turn out at all like I envisaged it would, but I,m happy with it. After I had played with the figure I thought she looked a bit like Miss Muffet and I didn't have a spider so shes got a flying cow instead, lmao




And then I did another, a single page this time.


So no doubt I will be up all night AGAIN, lol. You will be pleased to know that the Wispa and bagel binge appears to be over. Now I am back on Brazil nuts and Diet Cherry coke (do they count as fruit and veg, do you think..??).
All classes are up on line HERE and are booking fast. Here's some examples to tempt you.












And how about this for a trip down Memory lane. I used t0 Love this when I was a bairn, and as soon as I heard it all the words came flooding back.
Enjoy xx
