Challange Me Happy

Here's my entry into the latest challange on Challange Me Happy (thanks to Fiona Lally for giving me the push).  It's been a while since I've been creative so on this one you had to make your own embellishments.....I made the wee patterns flowers and the stripy banner.  It's not much but it's a start.

Why Hello!!!!!

OK so it's been QUITE a while since I've updated the blog.........so since the last post we've shifted house and started redecorating the new house.  When I say everything needs updating I mean EVERYTHING NEEDS UPDATING!!!!!  It was like the house had been left in the 70's, but we've already put new carpet and lino down, removed the asbestos and had all the ceilings repainted, stripped the orange (yes ORANGE) wallpaper from Ben's room and we're currently trying to finish painting the hallway.  We've had the house insulated and soon we'll start replacing the windows with double glazed one's (currently only two bi-folds are double glazed so will do the rest of the house as we can afford it).

Ben's in Year 2 at school and doing well.  Kate's doing a combination of Barnados and Kindy which she enjoys both.

We have a rumpus room now which means I have a scrap area, so tonight (the first time in 8 months) I sat down and completed something.  Miracles can happen and it feels great to be creative.

Promise it won't be as long between posts again...I've just installed the blog on my phone so can update anywhere now!
