So started with the layout then my header which should be animated snow but for some reason blogger won't allow it...still working on it though i won't be beaten lmao! Then i redid my blinkie, clock and cbox plus my music so now i feel really christmassy when i come on here. I hope you all like it!!!

Morning everyone....how are you all? I'm back off to the hospital in a bit, apparently i need to have an ECG done before they'll take me down to theater to fix my elbow...i don't know why they need to do this as i've never had a problem with my heart and i've had operations in the past and they've never done that before?..... so i'll let you know how i get on later haha! I've been busy with Connor lately he's started a new playgroup and he loves it....trying to get my house sorted as its a state....no-matter how much i clean up its twice as bad by the end of the day lmao! Anyway enough bleating....here is a new template for you....hope you like it...Bye for now Hugs Laura xoxox

How appropriate! Its Sunday and I've created some Snowflake frames for you lmao! I actually made them last night but was really tired so decided to leave the posting til today haha!! There are four frames in total, all are grey scale so you can colourise then however you like, the TOU is inside the zip file you get so please have a quick read. I hope you can do something with them. Today my hubby has gone to The NEC centre in Birmingham to attend the annual classic car do they have and so i'm left here today and i don't know what i'm gonna be doing. Hopefully i'll get kids out at some point i hate sitting in all day haha. Have a great day everyone take care!

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend, sorry i have nothing to offer you at the moment i'm dealing with a few issues at the moment plus i've had a horrible stomach ache for the last few days. Will be back soon with more i promise.....you all take care...Hugs Laura xox

Hi guys! I'm showing you this awesome collab kit and asking you from the bottom of my heart to help us! As some of you may know Ali from DEZIGNS BY ALI has had a lot of heart ache in these last couple of weeks, her partner of 14 years had an accident whilst playing football in which his leg was broken in three places. The operation should of taken an hour and a half but because of complications took 4 and a half hours. Although now thank god he is starting to walk again and is getting about ok the emotional side is still very raw. He is unable to work, and feels like he is letting his family down. Lee is a very fit man normally and won't let this beat him and his strength and determination to get back to normal is bewildering. So a few awesome designers have gotten together to produce this wonderful kit to help out Ali, Lee and Leyton in their time of need...this is a massive kit.....94 papers and over 240 elements......i have also added these frames as a freebie....Ali is my best friend and she is showing a strength so strong it is admirable. PLease help us if you can.......you can get the kit from TAGGERS SCRAPS HERE......Here are a couple of previews and the Freebie after with the link....Hugs Laura xoxox

Firstly i'm so sorry it's been a few days, i really don't know where my time has gone. We've had the window fitters in all week and slow just isn't the word for them. Then yesterday was my busiest day in a long while....playgroup first....then lunch with Lee and Ali......then off to hubby's nan's to drop Connor off as i help out at Kaci's school now twice a week in the afternoons. Some of the children there are so behind in their reading and simply because their parents won't take ten minutes a day to let their child read to them. It's disgusting, so i have about ten children i read with twice a week now and i hope to get them more interested so i'll be taking them up prizes for reading and treats and stickers if they do well. I'm glad its getting close to the end of the week, i can relax a bit and hopefully do more on here and finish my tutorial blog. ( heres to hoping! )

Fancied having a go at some more frames so i have made a pack of 8 Heart Frames for You. Four of them are Plain and Four are Glass effect. I have put a template of the frame in too so you can colourise it yourself if you want to. Please leave some love if you download, i'm very new to making stuff myself and i'd love to hear what you think about them. CU is ok but please follow my TOU. Enjoy Hugs Laura xoxox
