Anyone still there???

I'm still here , just been a really bad blogger (although tried to keep up with your blogs and the MSE Forum :-( )
It all started when I was totally knocked for six when my lovely neighbour died very suddenly. Then on a brighter note we had a wedding in the family - just what I needed to cheer me up.

Next my 7 year old finally lost a tooth - quite a big deal - poor kid he desperately wanted to lose one and for the tooth fairy to come - lol and it finally happened on his brothers birthday:


My lovely Jack turned 11 - where have the years gone - so we had a bit of cake:


Then dad and son had some serious male bonding at Go Ape - Dalby Forest and they had a great time - I have no bottle for things like that so I was just a spectator!!



Everything seemed to happen at once and I didnt seem organised - I am sure I used to be quite organised bc (before children) but lately its all been going a bit chaotic. So determined to get my act together I have made my hubbys card for the end of May:


Here it is:


I saw the image on another blog and now I cant remember which one I'm sure I know - so I'll double check and post a link - when I saw the image I just thought of my hubby straight away - dont know why??? lol (edit here it is Janeys cards)

I bought the image from Just Inklined, coloured it with promarkers, used I think its a Basic Grey paper and my new embossing happy birthday folder. Now I just need to see if there are any challenges I can enter it in.

I would like to enter it into:

Secret Crafter - our feathered friends
Crafty Anns - raise a smile
Papertake weekly - anything goes and something new ( new image and new embossing folder from Harrogate).
Cards for men - embossing

Thanks for looking - and I promise to be a better blogger!!

Hugs xxx
