Teaching another class !!!

Ellie from MODSCRAPS is letting me teach another class at my local crop this saturday !!!!

I get really nervous as ive never stood up infront of people on my own before apart from the first class i taught at MODSCRAPS a few months back. I have new worries this time major one is can i top the last class i taught as it was quite successful ,even though i say it myself !!!! And the second is that my fab scrapping friends Cleo & Ellies classes are so Amazing i dont want too look too rubbishy next to them, lol !!

The girls that go to the Crop are all FAB and i have a such a fun time there . its only £5 to crop all day and extra (usually £5 ) for the class but what can you do for a day for £10 not much nowadays , sounding like my mum lol !!!!! I never get much scrapbooking done as i chat too much but i do get inspired. Some of the girls can do tons of L/Os x

heres a sneak peek of the class x

Blogging & scrapping the not so good times xxx

I decided to do this L/O to remember the not so good times for Keira. I'm not proud of her plastercast but in years to come she we be able to look back and see what chaos she caused !!!! Lol , Its not chaos really but you know what i mean if you have a 2 year old . :D

THE CALENDAR TURN IS FROM CAROLINEZ CRAFTZ SHOP they are very versatile, You can keep them whole , cut them up like ive done here or take them apart...A great embelishment to finish a project. There are different designs too.

been a bit pre occupied

My youngest has pulled something in her arm and after hours of waiting,prodding and xrays at the childrens hospital (they were excellent though) and the threat of having to pull it back into place the big wig consultant decided to just put it in plaster so keira can rest it and its protected ...PHEW !!!!!

So I'm not getting on here much as DD has become very demanding and im running round like a headless chicken trying to keep her happy. Here she is but she looks ok to me lol !!!!!

A BIT ABOUT MY GEOCACHING WEEKEND sorry to bore you !!!

As you might know my Newish hobby is Geocaching . A Quick explanation is treasure hunting with GPS (satnavs) .


I have been to amazing places of beauty some close to home nearly on the door stop and some further a field. I wanted to do this to get the family out of the house and its really done that for us. We even get our SIL to come along too sometimes.

You have to go onto http://www.geocaching.com/ and register (this doesnt cost a thing) You can pay for membership approx £2 a month for more benifits. This is done by 1000s of people all over the world and you might of passed by a cache with out knowing it where ever you have been !!!!

Anyway on the site you can find caches by adding a postcode etc or looking at the ones close to your home. You have to load or manually put co-ordinates in your satnav (GPS) and off you go.

There is more info about how big the box is , what the terrain & difficulty is etc and of course Geocaching itself.

Below is views by Horton camp Geocache and a typical small cache box as a lot of people ask what is in the treasure boxes (log book to sign in , treasure, sometimes travel bugs or geocoins (things you can move and track where they are) ) YOU MUST PUT SOMETHING BACK IN IF YOU TAKE SOMETHING OUT THOUGH !!!! then the next person that visits will have something to take if they like and so on .
