Teacher cards ala Anya!!

Soooo..... being me I left teacher cards late, had my eye on Teacher anya for a loooong time, trying to budget still (yeah not to thrifty) so had her on wish list but as I has quite a few cards thought I'd get her - justify... would have to buy 7 cards at £1-£1.50 I'd say so she paid for herself..... yep thats what I'll tell Adj if he asks LOL

sooooooo....... I called stampezzee panicing about delivery and the sweetie told me she'd post out next day and we had a laugh about leaving stuff til last minute. I was soo pleased I ordered her, she is lovely in stamp person and colours so well... oh and Superstar Anya jumped in my basket while I was there....justify?? erm... no I hid her... and the prima daisies too.. shhhh....

so late to post but here's the cards... simple style as usual

Long Time!!!

Oh my!! such a long time posting, so much gone on....

Poor kylo had his accident and surgery and that's trully overshadowed every area of our lives but I praise God that it was not as bad as it could have been and it was a small Op and he came through it brilliantly. I thank God for being there for me when I was weak then He is strong

I want to thank those who prayed, supported and were just there for us during that time and now the healing.

Oh and it was my Birthday this week!! Adj planned a surprise party for me!! can you believe it!! wow what a cutie!! It was fab thanks to all who came and how could you keep it from me and let me turn up with casual clothes and BAD hair??!! LOL

I really did think he'd do it and was so pleased when he came home and told me!! erm.... does that make me a soccer mum now?? LOLOLOL

Bah!! cant keep up ... every time i say i must update... something else comes up and when i have a chance, I cant remember what I was meant to update with.

I seem to remember promising someone for some up to date piccies of the boys but cant remember who!! will do that soon. In the mean time here's some of the stuff I've been getting up to


Baking for the fam.


Baking and preparing treats for the carnival stall last month.




Going to Kylo's playdates:


finding yummie stash!!




Oh and entertaining our fabby friends last week(thanks for coming over J & M)!! Was abs fab.... had a long day cleaning and tidying... cooking and baking... was fun!
We all had a great night eating, talking and playing games. The kids (ours and theirs) had fun too.

Daring Bakers!!

Found the brill Daring Bakers while flikr and blog hopping in may and just had to join!

June's Challenge, hosted by Kelly and Ben was a Danish Braid, what a challenge!! First time i made pastry and reading the instructions had me nervous!!
It was soooo much fun tho and i will deff make it again. Adj loved it and was so impressed... gotta admit I was impressed too.



made the yummy apple filling and what a treat!


look at the scrumminess of pastry and caramelised apple!!


Hmmmm.... how many WW points in a slice???

*edit* Forgot to add,
I used 1/2 the recipie and made one plait, changed small bit of dough recipie (orange juice as am allergic to citrus fruits esp oranges, used a little syrup and water for the liquid, no cardomon so used some permento instead - my spice of the month:) )used the apple filling but added extra spices.!*edit*
The pastry making has really given me the confidence to try new things which is one of the reasons I joined DB.... watch this space.

Thanks for the challenge hunnies!

Verdict!

Trial was last week, what a sureal week it was too. Just getting back into the loop of things. Plus internet and phone was up the creek!!

Anyway.... It was a hard week for all. Listening to all the evidence... hearing all the details about that night Seeing the brute in the dock and hearing his lies and rubbish....

The Jury found him GUILTY of GBH with intent!! Whooohoooo!!!

sentencing will be in 4-6weeks and we will go to see how long the Judge decides.

Journalist who wrote article before the trial is in contempt of court as there was an order made and will have to face judge.... goes to show you cant just do what you want without regard for anyone else!!

So we are happy with the verdict. We can continue to get on with the healing and practical stuff without the worry/stress of trial looming.

I feel so odd tho, like it's over but it's not.....

I really had to rely on God last week and prayed so much.... He truly is able.
The defence lawyer tried to get the 3 counts dropped!! can you believe it???

Thanks again to all you who have supported me and our family (should that be my family and I??) throughout this terrible ordeal. I know you will continue to do so xxx

Magnolia ATC Swap!

Bah!! cant keep up LOL Here's the Magnolia ATC's I did for the swap. I'll post the ones I got tomoz. Thanks Kath and all swappers in my group
