Weekend away

We took one of our family weekend trips away this past weekend. It turned out to be a bit of a disaster.
The weather was really bad, wet, storms constently!!
That didnt stop the boys wanting to swim in the pool. It was a solar heated pool, but you wouldnt know it, as it was freezing. They didnt care they were in there whether it was raining or not! Crazy kids!
We decided to go to the local town for a treat at the bakery.
We had just ordered our cake and Owen, started complaining of pain in his side. Dad took him off to the loo, but returned with Owen doubled up in pain, and saying we needed to find a Dr.
Luckily we found a Dr and she decided that he probably just had constipation. She gave us some lovely enema medication!! we returned to our cabin and tried to administor the medication. He also was required to produce a wee sample. It was tested and found to contain protein.
Now we need to have further tests for that once we are home.

The rest of the weekend was a bit of a wash out. We had planned to go to a funpark with water slides but it just wasnt hot enough to go, so instead we went and picked up our new family member Bob.

Our new family addition :D

This is Bob. He is our brand new puppy. Isnt he cute?
He is only 3 months old and such a baby.

We know he has Border collie in him but we dont know what else he is crossed with.
This is our other Border collie cross corgi, Marley. He is now 12 years old and we got him from the same dog shelter we got Bob from. I guess you have realised why we named Bob, Bob LOL. It just seemed to fit.
We also have a Jack Russell, who is a very bad tempered girl. She really cant stand Bob and his puppy ways just yet.
We only brought Bob home yesterday and every time he walks past Bella, she growls at him, its become almost automatic! LOL
They WILL get used to each other.
Whatever, Bob is here to stay :D

November workshops

Here the Kaszazz workshops the girls will be doing tomorrow night. Its the last workshop of the year :(. Everyone is too busy to make a workshop in December.
I love the stamps used in these workshops. I have a thing about little birdies and owls.:D
The photo in the scrapbooking page is a picture of my mum with 2 of her brothers, taken last year. Im not sure this is the right photo for this page as it doesnt really fit, but I like it anyway :D
I havent added any sentiments to the cards but I intend to.
:D Sal

Halloween

Happy Halloween.:D
We dont really celebrate Halloween, its just a bit of fun.
This year I decided that we would make some Jac-o-lanterns. I went along to my local supermarket and was astounded at just how much 2 pumpkins cost!!! OMG we wont be doing this again next year!
Anyway the boys had so much fun with their dad scooping out the pumpkin flesh and making the spooky faces.
We lit them up tonight and put them in our windows.
They looked great as you can see. Surprise, surprise, we had about 5 knocks from Trick or Treaters :D
It was alot of fun. Hope you guys had fun too.

Kids workshop

Forgot to post these photos of what the kids made at my workshop.
They had a great time painting the body and head of the parrot. It was a pirate theme so we made these cute pirates that moved their arms and legs.

Its always so much fun and we all share lunch afterwards, while the kids play. I LOVE doing my workshops, hope the kids and mums enjoy it as much as I do :D

EB card swap

This is the card I have created for our monthly card swap.
We had a sketch to go by and it had to be spring colours.
I hope I have accomplished both :S
It was only a very small group this month, which is a bit sad.
Next month is our last for the year and of course its Xmas cards. I love making Xmas cards, so am hoping to get going with that really soon. :D

My cuddly one :D

My youngest one, Owen has always been a very cuddly one. He has a special bear that he actually made. My bestie in the UK sent it for his 4th birthday and he fell in love with Ben as soon as he made him.
We had to stuff him and dress him.
Of course I just HAD to scrap him, being an important friend in his life. LOL

When I had completed this page and Owen had seen it, he immediately asked me to do a page of all of his friends.

This was quite a feat because he has so many, and of course they all have names. When he goes to sleep at night he has to set them all up in the right position so they can guard him at night time and scare the nightamares away.

It must be working as we havent had any bad dreams for over a year now :D

Owen is such a lovely little fella and I just love the way he clings onto some of his young ways, hope it lasts :D
