Things have been mad this year so far with wayyyy to much illness involved! You don’t want to hear about the yucky details so I will spare you! LOL This has played a major part in why I had abandoned my blog! :(

Sarah of (my4hensphotography) has arrived just in time with some GORGEOUS new actions! So I decided to treat myself and I brought the whole package :O… I can never pick between just a few! :)

Anyway.. scrapping is what we are here for right?

Here’s some after5 news…

Pop on over to after5designs now for some sale goodies … Its Bisontines birthday and she is giving you lovely people 35% off her whole store!!

The bad news is that we have been having some family issues at home :( not very nice but something that we are working at and is already easing up! Lots of talking seems to be the key! Less computer time was called for so you will only find me online in the daytime until hubby and the kids get home and only in the evenings when hubby is out and kids are sleeping! haha.. It seems to be working thankfully!

We thankfully have had a lot of stress relieving news too over the past few days.. My 2year old FINALLY got a confirmed preschool placement at the preschool we wanted so he starts in october!! YAYY he has become quite a handful of recent lol!

My sons reports turned out to be much better than we anticpated and they are both doing well at school!

We are also alot closer to booking a week away which is very much needed for our sanity lol!!! So in general things are on the up again!!! Woohooo!

While im on the subject a special Thankyou to Jessica (mama_to_elle) for listening to me ranting and raving over the past few weeks about my troubles and such... she has been fantastic and not moaned at me once hahaa!! She is a complete sweetheart!! Hopefully ive cheered up now and she wont get any more ear bashing hehe. lots of love to you huni.xx

Now for the GREAT news!!

A few weeks ago I asked Amy of AFTER5 designs site if she had any available spots on her fabulous CT for me... and guess what? Yesterday she accepted me!!!!!!! I am totally over the moon about this I just cant describe to you how happy I am! A huge thankyou to the girls for having me!
