Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenges # 2 DT Choice Monica Add Buttons ......

Good Morning Readers,

I hope you are keeping warm ..... woke up this morning, with my truck covered in ice, and feeling a lot more like Winter has arrived ..... up till now we have been quite lucky with the weather , but I think our luck may have run out .... anyhoo the fields up the yard were all white, did look rather pretty ..... so did a few things around the yard, mainly to keep warm, then returned home, as I had to take my Mum to the opticians for some new glasses, she picked a rather smart designer pair, so Mum will be able to see to read again very shortly ..... I don't think I have mentioned to you all. but I have been on a diet, oops sorry healthy eating, as it is called now..... I joined Slimming World about 6 weeks ago , and I have lost a stone, one more to go, and I will be happy ...... so my old clothes are rather loose, so will have to go shopping soon for some new one's, but then I could wait and see what Santa bring's me !!!!!!!!!!

Anyhow, seeing as it's Saturday, that means it's time for another great challenge over on

Suzy Bee's Bloomin Challenge's  

This week it was a DT choice, Monica and she decided on Buttons as the theme, for those of you who are not aware, we do allow CD Printable entries, as long as the theme is adhered to, so I used my Craft Artist to create the design below, and also incorporated an image from our sponsor for this week which is the Fab

Hope you are all having a good weekend ........

Feelgood Friday .........

Good Afternoon Readers,

Ever had that feeling of it's good to be alive ....... well that has been my day so far, went up the yard this morning with the urge to really want to ride...... was taking my life in my hand's though, as Ace has been in his stable for practically the last two day's ...... went out on Wednesday for a couple of hour's as he was being clipped and he was in all day Thursday ......as he had to see the Farrier ........ so as you can imagine he was a bit on the lively side when I rode him, what with being stuck in his stable, then the cold air on his clipped coat, needless to say he was doing rather a lot of snorting, reminded me of a dragon ...... but he was a really good boy albeit rather fast ........ once I had rode, Ace went out in to his field and rolled in the wet not once but four times, then took of over the field bucking ....... I'm sure he looked back at me and sniggered ...... then I went and had a good catch up with Mary over a couple of mug's of well earned coffee....... on the return home I popped in to my Fav Charity Shop Pants, and of course did not come out empty handed..... got my daughter Teresa a lovely top by the White Stuff Company almost brand new...... and then got the rabble some teddies and Queen Smarty Pants a great big teddy blanket for her to regally sit on, in lovely bright colours ....... I have also caught up on my behind the scenes challenge work ....... and have also come up with an idea for another challenge blog ....... will be doing a DT call in the next couple of weeks, and tomorrow I have an interview to do a couple of volunteer hours in the Air Ambulance Shop in Camborne will let you now how it goes....... and then got down to some crafting some I am unable to publish at the mo ...... but the one below I made for a friend at work who's Birthday it is on Tuesday, hope she likes it.......

It's Tuesday........

B.....Y Guy Fawkes.......

Good Morning Guy's

Hope you are well........ me I have been praying for the weekend to be over...... not that I am in a hurry to get back to work, but glad to see the back of Guy Fawkes.... my poor dog's well, they have all been nervous wrecks........ Queen Smarty Pants, has been trying to hide behind anything and everything, as soon as she hears one, and Toby, he has been whimpering and shaking each time he hears one, it has been awful to watch, no amount of cuddles and telling them it's fine has worked, Chumleigh has coped quite well..... it wouldn't have been so bad if it had just been the ONE night, but we still had fireworks going on last night what's wrong with people, do they enjoy watching there money go up in smoke....... I say ban the dam things, and just have organized firework displays on November 5th...... giving entry fee's to charity ....... it does not help when you get the major supermarket's advertising buy get one free, on the things...... I don't mean to be such a grouch, but I feel sorry for all the animals that are petrified of the things, and are unfortunate not to have there owners at home to give them security..... anyhoo, hopefully that's the end of them for another year, oh no nearly forgot we have New Year to contend with yet.......
