Off to School

Morning folks....no it's not me who's off to school but the theme of my working day yesterday....finally finished off the cards I had to make for the 6 youngsters starting school shortly and then 7 gift cards for presents for nursery staff......and a little bit more tidying out of the old cubbyhole.....that is going to be a slow process....

Papers: Nitwit Collections....Kindergarten
Pink Petticoat...Little Fleurs Collection
Snag Em Stamps.....Chick
Pink Petticoat...Tiny Typed Alphas

now call me a party pooper if you will.....but I just think this has got totally out of hand.....and I feel sorry for the parents who maybe can't afford to splash out every time the school breaks up and of course....there are always the folks who try to outdo everybody else and then it turns into a farce.....can't remember it being a big deal when my kids were at school and the number of birthday parties they are invited to nowadays......the money spent on entertaining a group of kids......we just had lots of pals round to the house to play games and just when it was becoming a little bit too boisterous.....we stuffed them full of jelly and ice cream until they couldn't move......now it's off to some theme park.....hiring a bouncy castle and an entertainer....and they come away with a goody bag which costs an arm and a leg.

And check out this......my great nephew's birthday pressie from his Grandma and Granda.....my Sis and BIL...isn't it fabulous.....I love the window box with the pansies...the doorbell that actually works and the blue gingham curtains

and this made me giggle....he reminded me of Eddie the Eagle without the skis.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments about my new crafty space and if you live within driving distance of Aberdeen.....you are welcome anytime for a cuppa and a crafty chat and yes Debbi....I'll put the kettle on.......see you in 20 minutes.......and thanks also for all your good wishes for the bundle of golden deliciousness.....he is definitely back to his old self.

And I was lucky enough to receive these awards.......from my lovely bloggy buds.....
