Hi, well I kind of lost my mojo over the last few months and haven't done much crafting. I've been feeling a bit down and the house is a mess, plus I'm working more hours and between that and the fibro I'm constantly exhausted and in pain.
Anyhoo, this isn't a pity post, we had a week away in the Lake District which was awesome (slide shows of photos on my you tube My channel ), we did lots of walking and had a lot of fun and it's given me a bit of a boost :)

One thing I do want to mention is the digi scrap kit I used for most of the paper in this album, I don't think the site is there any more and I don't have the files on the computer at the moment as my external hard drive died on me :( I'd love to to give credit, so if anyone knows who made it just leave a comment thanks :)
A card for my Mum-in-law, I love how this turned out :)
Just a silly card I made to try out my new Robotz cart, which I got on Ebay for a bargain price :D
This is the first scrap book page for a new project, I've been meaning to make a scrapbook of our visit to London a few years ago and want to do sections on the Natural History museum, the British Museum and the Science museum, yes we did 3 museums in 3 days lol! I am mad about dinosaurs so was thrilled to go to the Natural History museum. I got the dinosaur tracks cart especially for the scrapbook as I took loads of pictures of all the dinos lol! I've even made up a list of all the dinos on the cart and prited them out ready to label all my photos lol! I know! I know! A grown woman getting over excited about a lot of old bones lol! Sad really isn't it :D
A quick project the other day to cheer myself up, I finally got around to blinging up my expression :D
A quick birthday card made with the sweet treats cart.
Lots of flowers I made yesterday, I was very tired and I've been poorly the last couple of days so I just wanted something to keep my hands busy while I watched tutorials on youtube :)
All cut from the flower shoppe and mother's day bouquet carts.
Well that's me all caught up, having a bit of a rest today, although I did go out and try to cut the hedge a bit earlier, shattered now though so won't be doing much else today.
Happy crafting
Anna xx
