I nearly forgot!

 In my head I had my next blog post all planned, photos and what I was going to say. (yes I am that annoying!) Anyway, I was fiddling around with some photos on my computer and trialling a new system that I can put photos into files on my Mac and then pick them up on either my laptop or office PC - it's called Dropbox. While having a play with the system I realised I had not shared the special Birthday Card that I made for my friends DD who was 18.

In real life this is a lovely little card - lots and lots of handmade flowers with tiny seed pearls in the centre.  The photo does not really do justice to it.  The card was the only thing I had in my hand to give the girl, and this was not quite what I had planned to give her!  A few days prior I gave my teenager an envelope with some money inside to bring to my neighbour's daughter, who works in Brown Thomas (a lovely department store in the city centre).  She is a fab stylish girl, who has a great eye for fashion, and she was going to get me the "perfect" gift for my friends daughter.  3 days later, I received a text from my neighbour who asked was I not interested in getting the gift as she has not received any money from me!!!!  It was just after 12 and I woke my DD who then said that she "Forgot" to bring the money! OMG I was so very cross - so after all the plans to make it right, I still failed.

My DH's niece is also 18 soon and thankfully she only wants money from us to help pay for car insurance - that is so much easier!  Note to self - add her card to the list of those you have to make.

It's been a busy week and I have just finished working on a LO / Wall hanging that I will be teaching at Anna-Marie's crop  next Thursday.  Sneekie peeks here!  But since you twisted  my arm here are two more little snaps!

Last Saturday, while I had a few hours to myself at our monthly crafty crop I finished this LO.  I started it with no photo in mind.   The pack of photos I had taken with me had very few options in it, but I found one of my DD Caoimhe on her Confirmation day.  The photo was taken just before she put her makeup on and changed out of her school uniform - love her fresh face and happy smile.

So that's it for the moment - I will miss my Camera Club night next week in favour of teaching a scrapbooking class.  I've had a really good run, in the last 2 competitions, getting placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th and ahem..... last also in my group!  Nothing like consistency eh!

Right - That's all for the moment folks, we off to the panto on Sunday (without small one! who cried thru it all last year!).  My littlest one is really in a bad way at the moment, being tube fed gives you terrible constipation problems and I have been dealing with it all week long and it's required a trip to the doctors today.  He worried and will be calling to us tomorrow to see her.  She had 2 hospital visits this week, one for her ears and the other to see the psychologists - so it's been busy but last 3 days she has been sitting on my knee and very upset, hopefully tomorrow she will feel a lot better (I pray!).
