Conker Bonkers !!!

Heres a L/O about some of the activities on the weekend , My Eldest daughter came down again from Kidderminster and we went Geocaching . Whilst my husband checked out the Geocaching co-ordinates , Two of my 3 daughters and myself waited under a conker tree. They had great fun trying to throw sticks up and hit the conkers , we collected about 10 .
Here i used my old october afternoon papers i got from a kit in June from USA and my Cricut to cut the title, My friskars border punch & hand cut leaves around the matted photo and my hand cut Conkers. Might put a little owl on my L/O too at a later date !

OMG ive just seen this !!!!!!!

Its a fiskars rock paper trimmer and its PINK !!!!!

did you know I have another talent apart from scrapbooking !!!!! .....

....Some of you may or may not know i like to make Tiaras. My website is http://www.headloughtiaras.co.uk/ Funny name you may think !!!!! My maiden name was HEAD (dont laugh, ive heard all the jokes too ) And my married name is LOUGHLIN Pronounced 'Lock lin' . Well cut a long story short my silly sence of humour could picture brides or perhaps the grooms in a head lock going down the isle !!!!
So thats how the name came about.

Heres a few of my pieces . I can make the tiaras to match a theme or a colour , it seams like clear crystal is all the rage but there are tons of different colour crystals /beads perhaps you like pearls these come in tinted colours too nowadays or something else.. The wires & bands can be silver or gold or perhaps a different colour like red or black the list is endless. Maybe you arent getting married i make feather fascinators too ideal for ascot or a posh do x

Hope you like x

JUST NEEDED TO PRAISE A UKS SPONSER

Yesterday i posted on UKS i needed blooms and ribbons for my circle journal I'm going to do . I then ordered some flowers off Sarah's cards but they never had any ribbons suitable (they did have every other colour imaginable though) & i did enquire if they could get any in.
well today i had a parcel and i must say my flowers were a bargain and just the right colours i needed BUT ...... in the package were a little bundle of matching ribbons and they were perfect !
I just wanted to say a HUGE thankyou To the lovely owner and i will deffo shop again as she was so helpful , it made my day.
Cant show you pics of my goodies yet but will add a pic when ive made my CJ book just waiting on card from another sponser.

MY BABY HAS GONE TO SCHOOL TODAY !!!!

Ok shes 3yrs and it was Nursery so only 2.5hrs !!!! I missed her so much but was also happy as she went straight in the classroom forgetting to say bye until the teacher pointed out she didnt give mummy & daddy a kiss ! she gave us a kiss and rushed back in to play.



When i turned up in the playground i was the first one there . Keira came out all buzzing and happy with an apple in one hand and a sticker for having nice uniform !!! She liked playing with the water best and had a story about Maisie Mouse.
In the mean time i scrapped this L/O below of my garden it was a challenge on Happyscrappin (HSS) Here
Hope you like x
