Wings and Wishes....

Well we're back from Wales.....wet Wales with loads of problems on the roads....took us 8 hours to get back, instead of 6....Still, we've had a coffee and a sit down, and will soon be to bed...have a batch of washing to do and the mini sheep need cleaning out, if it stays dry tomorrow....
I have had an extremely busy fortnight on the eBay front, and the fairies remained popular, with a couple more sets going tonight...I really must re-take these photo's, they aren't very good, and don't show the sparkles at all well....
also the animals have been requested, with the giraffes and monkeys being enjoyed....
I have been looking at lots of different breeds of farm animals (as we stay at a farm) and also some sea creatures, as we visited Anglesey's Sea Zoo twice last week, well worth the money, and the staff were well trained, informed and friendly....as a result I've been looking at widening those groups of die cuts, as well as some more Chrstmas themes...I've got a number of dies I've not even used myself yet, so once the boy's are back at school I can have more time to play... :)
For now, I need to clear up a little and then to bed....it's tiring being driven home...x x

I Believe In Fairies...



Not the best of photo's....I always seem to remember to photo bits in the evening, so need the light on, but that leaves a shiney spot on one side....but you can see what they are.. :) ...
The fairy collections are proving popular this month so far....the toadstool and mistletoe ones inparticular....but I think a number of people are starting to prepare for that festive season with these Sugar Plum Fairies and the Snowflake Fairies also....
Am now starting to get ready to go up to Wales for a couple of weeks...Went shopping for a few items yesterday...but now have to see how much I can pack :) I always take to much though...
The 'difficulty' this year is we're taking the Duck, my Nissan Mistral, and we've not taken him before, so now nothing on capabilities...but I will be taking my craft stuff...Chris will be working around the farm and Gareth is ok wandering around and bouncing on the trampoline...I just hope it all fits in :D
Well I don't know what to do today...need to get loads of washing done, but also need to go to Library so Gareth can get some more books for the challenge, and also want to get my hair cut...at the same time, have another headache and would be quite happy snuggled up at home....x x

Tally....



This is Tally...and at the very grown up age of five....has had her ears pierced.....with NO tears at all....very impressed....Got the sparkly pink ones....really pleased with them...




Well so much for my good intententions.....However I still have that very good excuse of all the children here, and also a surprisingly (but nice) busy time on the work front.....
This week Emma has her step son, Luke with her, so yesterday we went to a Play Zone near us, and today we're off out to practice with the boy's bike...Tim has a bike, but not a lot of confidence, and Gareth has just up graded, so he's still a bit wobbly...Just hope it doesn't actually rain... x x
