postheadericon Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!

Hiya Everyone!
Just thought i'd write and wish you all a very safe and happy new year!
Sorry i've not been around much, christmas and new year have fallen among some sad times this year,
My dear father-in-law on christmas night was given hours to live and despite all odds he is still among us all right now!
We have been sat just waiting for the phone to ring and give us all the news we are all expecting.
Maurice is and will forever be the closest person i will ever have to a dad.
When i lost my own dad at just 13 years of age i never thought i could even concider another person to take over that role.
Meeting Maurice 10 years ago now changed that.
I've never met a man who would take on children that weren't his with such passion.
My own children call him Grandad...something i'd never let them do without being totally at ease with a person.
Maurice is someone who would always put a smile on your face, he'd always know when something was wrong and say something to make you proper belly laugh! Lol.
He has been through such a lot this last year, and when the time comes we all know it will be a happy release for him, no more pain, no more sickness!
We don't know how he is still here even, i won't go into details but the stuff his body has and is going through defies all odds and expectations!
They say God only takes the best...and he sure will be doing that!
So this New Year will be a hard start for all of us here, but we know that he wouldn't want us to be sad, he'd want us celebrating because that is what he loved to do, get together with family and have a bloody good time!!!!
So in honour to him i will make sure i do that and gve my children the best start to 2011 possible.
I am lucky to have some great friends around me who are constantly on the phone asking after Maurice and myself and family.
These people make me stronger, just a little smile goes a long way!
Thank you to those of you...you know who you are!

So from us here to you wherever you are I wish you the most fantastic 2011!
Stay healthy, happy and safe!!!
Love your families, make each day count with them!
Love to you all always!
Laura

postheadericon Christmas Gift Pack Freebie CU + News.


Hiya Guys!
Sorry it's been a while since my last freebie.
Here is a christmas gift pack for you!
The pack contains
2 Santa Bags
2 Present Boxes
1 Santa Sack
1 Star Label.
All are tagger size and commercial use friendly!

Grab it from HERE

Tomorrow starts a couple of fantastic blog trains you do not wanna miss!
So call back then and grab some more goodies!

I may be on and offline from now on.
This is because of a few reasons,
My Father-In-Law is very very ill.
He is in hospital and hopefully going to be treated but no-one seems to know how or when and right ontop of christmas this is taking away from my work on here as i cannot concentrate and turn my hand to anything,
Cancer effects so many people and if i only had one christmas wish this year it would be that someone would find a cure for this heartless disease,
On a more light hearted note i have lost my mojo!!!! Lol...
If anyone finds it please return to owner lol.
I think a few weeks off is called for to sort out my head and heart in the design world.
I will be back....and around....checking mail and keeping in touch just not into making a tonne of stuff etc..
Please email me if you need anything i will not ignore mail.
So for now have a great christmas month and i will check back soon!
Big huge hugs Laura

postheadericon Karma...plus news!

"I'm a true believer in karma. You get what you give, whether it's bad or good."
Sandra Bullock.

I heard something today that has finally put my mind at peace.
And you know what i thought..
Karma!

What goes around comes around is a rule by how i try to live my life.
You give out rubbish, you make people feel bad about themselves, you only have yourself to blame when karma comes and whoops your ass!

In this world life is too short to live your life sad and vengeful.
If you don't like something move on, find happiness elsewhere...don't hang around and do your best to make other people upset and uncomfortable!...cause at the end of the day life is tooo short!

So i guess some of you are thinking whats going on...where has this come from?
You know what i don't altogether know lol...just i've been quiet and into myself, depressed lately and today something just hit me and said enough is enough...Laura what has happened has happened, and you know what ever faults i may have i don't deserve to be unhappy now.
It's time to move on with my life and make every day the best it can be.

And it's like a breath of fresh air..clinging to the past does me no good.
Luckilly i have some fantastic people round me, new friends, my awesome family.
The past will always be remembered for what it was and i would never change it but i can no longer let it effect my day to day feelings like it has done.

All sorts of things are changing in my life at the moment..
I'm coming off tablets for my lump...thats sooo hard...as my body and mind i suppose are dependant on them..but i am now down from 10 a day to 4!!!
I am so chuffed with myself!
I hope to be free of them in 4 weeks time now as one a week i am dropping.
Well i say that but i've gone from 10 to 4 in less than two weeks! So who knows it could be sooner!
I am so proud of myself as i have done this alone without any doctors or theapists, mind over matter really works when you are doing it for something special to happen!
So wish me luck!

We have a halloween party coming up, gonna decorate the house and have everyone round, then take the kids out trick or treating...will post piccies!!
I've missed coming on here and just chatting...and i'm gonna make an effort to do it more often...well not toooo often i don't wanna bore you all lol..

More kits are being made as i speak...christmas isn't far away now and i have some special kits in progress!

Freebies coming soon also so watch out for them!
Plus two great blog trains coming out soon!

So be nice out there guys, love your loved ones...and remember that old quote

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.

and believe you me it really does!

Have a great weekend
Blessed be!
