It's my eldest daughter's birthday today. She doesn't like having her photo taken, so I sneaked some from her networking site, just to embarass her. That's what mums are for isn't it?
First a bit of info about her, Jemma is very clever, she qualified as an accountant 2 years ago at the age of 20 and is about to embark on a course to become chartered, which she will do at the same time as working full time!
She also now has her own apartment that she shares with her boyfriend, so is learning how to cook after having me wait on her for 21 years! She's being very good though and cooking most things from scratch. Today she has a day off and has been to the hairdresser this morning, she enjoys having her hair done and has modelled for her hairdresser at hair shows in Weston Super Mare hence the amazing hair-do in the photo! Enjoy your day Jemma and don't eat too much cake or drink too much tonight lol.
I made these cards yesterday and was hunting high and low for my quilling paper, so I thought I ought to tidy my scrapbook and card making stash. Far too much stuff so I'm putting these pictures on here to remind myself that I definately do not need anymore. The trouble is this is only some of the craft stuff I have, this doesn't include beads, buttons, fabric, papers etc....
The need to buy these things has to stop as I still haven't found my quilling paper!
I was so excited this morning to receive my Shabby chic cafe August swap from Angel the theme was 'green' interpreted as you wanted.Well everything was so lovely and I was totally spoiled there was a gorgeous floral tablecloth, a picnic rug, a box of perfumed white roses and a soapstone set.
Also a beautiful enamel Home sweet home sign and a wonderful country flowers photo album and an organza ribbon bag that folds out into sachets. Oh and also a packet of sweets which Lily very quickly found and declared it her present, the poor mite was feeling sorry for herself earlier as it wasn't her birthday lol. Thankyou so much Angel, you definately live up to your name!
I feel so lucky as I also won a giveaway from Angel which was this really sweet strawberry tray and cup.
