WOOHOO

Only 5 more sleeps till we go on our once in a life time trip to Florida.Cant believe I'm really going it's been a bit of a struggle at times money wise (More so the price of the parks) But never mind we got there in the end.Got our flight tickets on Saturday all i have to do now is pack but i will do that during the week as charlie has told me there's football on Tuesday & Wednesday night so that will give me something to do.Had a good weekend Lesley & Blair moved into their 3 bed roomed house on Friday so i helped with that then on Saturday went to the pub it was karaoke but it was really good i even got up to sing with Debbie we sang stupid cupid we did put down another song but never got to sing that.Debbie & Lesley love karaoke & they love singing paradise by the dashboard light (Meat loaf) Debbie sung a couple on her own as did Lesley but i NEVER he he.Right now I'm feeling really good after going through a bit of a rough time cant wait to go craft shopping in Florida.

Thank you everyone

I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who left comments on my last blog.I have for the time being decided to carry on making cards after all the lectures i got from my family & friends & of course all the lovely words from you guy's.I have cashed in £150.00 into USA dollars to spend on craft stuff for when we go to Florida which is next Saturday WOOHOO.So I'm hoping to find different things to help me get back into it again having said that i just ordered a load of ribbon grosgrain in every colour i just have to keep telling myself the ribbon IS for the cards & not just to take out & stroke every other day he he.

Thinking of packing it all in

I have been feeling like this for a while now i don't seem to be selling many cards these day's.Charlie used to get me good orders from his work friends but now a day's it is all foreigner's that work in the factory now so card selling has dried up except for the odd one the office staff ask for.Lesley isn't allowed to sell them in her work something to do with bringing bugs in to NHS wards.I will still do Lesley's wedding stationery for her & if Susan still wants me to do hers then i will do that to but apart from that i think i will call it a day & sell all my stuff on eBay.I was going to buy a whole load of craft stuff when we go to Florida but if I'm not getting orders then i just don't see the point.

For a sneak preview

Lesley's wedding dress is now on the wedding shop's web page so if you want to have a sneak look hear is the web address www.abridaldream.co.uk You will find it on page 2 of wedding dresses & it's dress number 33 if you click on the link it shows you the dress from different angles. Cant wait to see Lesley in her dress on the day just under 2 years now time is going in quick.

Amy is one today

This is Amy Debbie & Lesley's Friend Susan's wee girl it's her first birthday today she has the most beautiful big blue eyes & her hair is coming in really fair.Cant believe she is 1 already it only seems like yesterday since she was born she is at the crawling,pulling her self up & walking round the furniture bit & she is so funny when she pulls herself up.She knows when she's getting her photo taken as she closes her eye's although she had them open in this photo i think she is going to be full of mischief when she's growing up she just has that i'm a good girl look about her & a cheeky smile.

Wedding changes

There has been some changes made to both Susan & Lesley's wedding first off when Susan & Andy worked out their budget they realised it was going to cost more than they thought so Susan asked Debbie & Lesley if they would mind paying for their own dresses,flowers ect but Lesley said no as she was saving for her own wedding so Debbie said no to anyway we are all going to Susan's wedding as guests.Then Lesley got a phone call a few weeks ago telling her all the dresses were hear so we had to arrange days round the 4 brides maids so they all got fitted for their dresses everything fine a few nips & tucks hear & there and what does Susan do last week she only goes & announces that she is trying for another baby straight after her wedding so she had to pull out of being a bridesmaid.But just by pure luck my sister is around the same build as Susan so she is standing in for Susan she tried the dress last Saturday & it's just a wee bit neat on her but she will get into it we have 2 years to go yet so it's no big problem & we are glad Susan told us so we could ask my sister in plenty time.We wanted my sister in the first place but that would have meant 5 bridesmaids so in a way it has worked out fine.So that's all the wedding news for now.

Charlie's 50th birthday

Hear is charlie getting ready to celebrate his 50th birthday.He started off being a good boy only had one bottle of beer before going out but he wasn't good for long as you will see with the photo's.By the end of the night he was well & truly P***ED he had to be carried out & put into the car then helped out the car & put to bed.I'm suprised he didn't have a mega hangover with all the vodka he was putting away at one point i was drinking the vodka for him & he never knew anything about it he he.Oh well it's my turn next year but i'm a good girl & wont be getting as drunk as charlie did because i know when to stop he he.


These photo's were taken on sunday when we went for our meal for both our birthday's.Charlie's face was a picture when they came out with the cake & started singing happy birthday it was so funny.
