Good Morning Folks from a very cold an early morning UK! Well i'm off to have my elbow fixed at last should be having it done sometime this morning got to be at hospital for 7 o'clock. Very nervous at being put to sleep, it's always nerve wracking when you have small children at home and you are having something like this done, but i'm sure i'll be fine and back with you all soon....saying that it's my right elbow so i don't know how this will effect my work on here so depending on how its all fixed up i might be away for awhile but i will try to post and let you know how i get on....so if you don't see me for a couple of days you will know why....and i'll get my bestest bud Ali to post for me to let you all know how i am (((giggles)))!
Also received this morning is a fabulous award from Stacy's Scraps Thank you so much hunni...what a lovely award to receive! It says i don't have to pass this on but i'd like to give this to a couple of special people who have helped me out loads and they will follow after the award...


So i'd like to give this to Ali from Designs By Ali - Always there when i need a kick up the backside...!!!! My Best Friend, and rock!! ((hehehe))

And Funky from Funky-Fever who continues to inspire me everytime we speak...

Love you two loads...you both know that!!! Huggles Laura xoxoxox

postheadericon WRAPPED-XMAS-FRAMES....

Made these 3 frames this morning for you, hope you like them.... I'm out to help mum prepare for tonights family get together... We always meet each other at our mum's when Santa and his sliegh come through our town the children just go mad....It's such a lovely time, we each make a dish i normally do lasange, mum does shepherds pie, then we eat and go outside to wait for Santa to come round.... This is done every year for a local charity and its a great way to get in the christmas spirit. I have become so close with my family this last few months, even people who i usually don't get on with....when you need people true friends and family will always be there and in that way i am really lucky....So enough waffling....if you would like my frames please download below.

postheadericon Christmas Template....xxx

Hey everyone!....Hope you are all well...my week has been mad and full of illness so i'm sorry i haven't made much...Kids have both been unwell, Kaci was first with Toncillitus and then Connor had a bad case of Constipation which lasted a few days now he has Toncillitus too, so i have been run off my feet and unable to concentrate on anything else. They are thankfully over the worst now and last night was my first proper sleep since last Friday!! Kaci's birthday party went well although Connor was very ill that night and never again am i having boys at our house parties...they were mad...but K had a great time so that was all that mattered.

Today i am starting to put up our christmas decorations, i've already done the ceiling ones so i have a very sore thumb haha....and i made this latest template to celebrate that i am now offically in the christmas spirit!!!! WOOT!!!! Hope you enjoy it have a great day Hugs Laura xox
