Trying to get back on track...

I have to start with a little mention of Ash would have been 21 today......... My thoughts are with his family and my lovely niece Abi.


We do miss his smiling face and 'wild' sense of humour...........................

I just haven't been in creative mode of late, so sorry, not a lot to show, but I am hoping to get back on track.

A few close up's of some Christmas cards, the one above using a Crafty Individuals greeting, which is timeless.

Again Crafty Individual Angel stamp, in a slide mount, one of my favourites. It's lightly coloured with chalks.


A couple more of my all time favourite Christmas CI stamps, very traditional. Used water colour and stickles on this one.



A few more basics, quick enough to run a load off for friends.


And three more 'quickies'.
Here's the lovely Disney, alias 'MR D'
I'm sure he's turning into a cat!!!!! He just loves it on the window sill!!!!



I couldn't believe it this morning. I was baby sitting Josh while Faye went to do her shopping and he just plonked himself on the winowsill?????? Maybe he likes the sun on his back.


Aww bless him. He was just waithing for Faye to come back.


Here's the family, taken on Saturday.

Couldn't resist showing Josh in the scales at the weigh-in clinic. He weighs well over 13lbs.


Her's the little man with Grandad, 'Grumps'. Paul just idolises this little man!


And to finish off, Josh and Faye, taken today to celebrate his TWELVE WEEK Birthday!!!!!
Sorry for the lack of creativity, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who sometimes 'runs out of steam'. Hopefully I'll soon be back on track.

Gorgeous family photos & love the close ups of the cards.
I haven't been very creative lately. I did make a layout but still haven't got a decent photo of it to blog.
Ive just got back from a long weekend in Newcastle. I nearly didn't go as my sister had Swine Flu & it was touch & go as to whether she would be well enough.
