Photos..............
As promised some photos of my trip to see my dads rose tree, and a sleepy cat in my flower pot hehe
Happy Monday!!
OK so I'm trying to be good and get back into blogging, I don't mind waffling away on my blog of my dreary days with nothing major to talk about, but I worry that if I do have any regular readers I will bore their little socks off!
Nothing major to report on this side, though I must admit I was very very good this weekend, I created a LO woohoo, I have taken any photos yet as Saturday and Sunday just seem to fly by and before I knew it I was setting my clock for work this morning. So hoping to take a few snap shots tonight so I can upload to my system, UKS and here.
Ah yes the lovely UKS..............I am utterly lost, even though I work Mon-Fri 9-5 and incidentally very busy at work, I always like the have UKS running in the background so I can pop in and see all my lovely friends on there and catch up with them, and read the posts and generally gather very informative information! It has been down since 9.30 last night for a server swap, so we all know that its serious but I miss it, my little life line, oh OK I know I have work and that is a life line, but somehow being on UKS I feel more (trying to think of the word!) I feel more not welcome but part of something, that's it UKS makes me feel part of something big, and crafting of all sorts is something big.
And I'm even more lost today as my good friend is off work today, so have not had our daily catch ups and chats today, and I think because I'm on my own in the office every Monday my day is dragging even more, I hope she is OK bless her she is going through a difficult time at the moment, so a little word to you my little buddy I'm here to listen and hopefully make you chuckle at least once during your day :-))
Still slowly reading through the book I purchased by Cathy Zielske, I can tell you now that woman is god when it comes to photography, design and scrap booking, I created my LO on the weekend with her in mind, and how she uses the pages, tip, tricks and techniques I think she is utterly amazing, and have put her second book on my birthday list!
Birthday I hear you shout, its your birthday LOL!! well it is on 1st July I will be the young and tender age of 32 (mum argued with me the other day saying I was 33!), and for this birthday I have decided to ask for money, I would normally spend it on crafting stuff, but this time I have an aim.........this little beauty
Its the new Fuji Finepix S9600 and its lush, so I have put my one item list (OK that's a fib) in front of Roger and gave that sigh and lost puppy look.
Talking of photos, I think cos I'm so into photography I'm finding all sorts of amazing things to photograph, and we have a decent Fuji 5.2 compact now, but I feel I just need that stage or two up, but yesterday we picked mum up and took her to the cemetery to see dad and put our cards on his rose, and it truly was a lovely moment, the sun was shining, perfect blue skies, and we walked into the part where Dad, Nanny and Granddad's roses are and the array of colour and the smell of beautiful roses was breath taking, I was so glad that I had my camera on me and took a photo from where I was standing!
I know a cemetery is not the kind a place you should take pictures, but my reason was two-fold, firstly the beauty took my breath away, and secondly as my brother lives in Spain he has never seen dad's rose bush in bloom so I thought it would look lovely to have a photo with dads cards and in bloom and send it over to him.
The cemetery in question is the Putney Vale Cemetery, and its truly the most amazing one I have ever stepped foot in, I know they are sad places and not a place to talk about, but these things I take notice of as Dad was a grounds keeper for another cemetery and was a keen photographer, so both of these in mind I pick up the beauty in the strangest of places, this place is slap bang on the A3 and if anyone knows the A3 its a busy road, but when your in there it all pales out, you cant really hear it, its amazing.
Anyway, I have taken some lovely photos of my trip there but again did not have the time to upload, so when I get home tonight I shall upload a few of this photos into a slideshow.
I feel I have waffled on for long enough, so for now ttfn xxxxxxxx

Over-Worked!
Hello everyone, first my apologies for leaving it so long to log on and update my blog, I check it everyday but just not had the chance to update it. Its been a funny few weeks, again my mojo has upped and left me for a short break probably somewhere a lot more desirable then drabby UK.
Anyway, a lovely lady from UKS called Jac helped me big time not so long ago, I was given some old piccies from my mum and she wants me to do something with them, they are of myself and my brother, I had them scanned at work (they all laughed and wanted to know where my innocence went - cheeky buggers!) and I then sent them off to print, but obviously not using my noddle I didnt realise that they would have printed them in 6x4 format even though they were 3x4 format so you can imagine what I got back LOL.
Anyway, I posted on UKS for some advice and Jac stepped up to the plate and helped, so now I have plenty of copies of these photos to try and do some wonderful things with. So watch this space for my next creation.
I am also very pleased with myself I have not spent any money in the last 2 months on Stash, I took a hard evalution on my stash and even though I dont have a lot I have enough for my scrapbooking knowledge, and whilst I am on a dry spell of inspiration it seems silly to spend out.
News on me at the moment, went to the Drs last night due to a funny and rather irrating cracking sound in my left wrist, she done loads of twisting and moving motions with it and bascially told me and I quote "its over used" ok so how would I explain that one to my ignorant boss who incedently has time off and doesnt tell us - Knobber!!
So anyway, my left wrist is heavily strapped and will have to wait and see the outcome.
Roger and I have spoken alot about weddings lately and we are now tallying up a cost, just so we can see how much we need to save.
Right I think that is it for now, will try to make sure I am good in the future
