A Birthday Cake ..........

Hi everyone, well it's been so long since I last posted as due to our water leak we had to move out of our house for nearly a month while it was repaired so I all my craft room was packed up and put into storage. We moved back last week but we are still in a muddle with boxes everywhere as we are waiting for some new furniture to arrive.   I did manage to find a bit of time to start to learn to crochet but I need to practice a bit more before I have any of that to show you!

So last week was very eventful with moving back home and then on Saturday night my family and Will had arranged a surprise 40th Birthday Party.  I thought I was going out for a meal so I was rather surprised to find the village hall where I live full of my friends and family!   Once I got over the shock, I loved the party and I just couldn't believe that everyone had put in such hard work for me.  After such a great start to turning 40 I have decided that life does begin at 40 and I plan to enjoy every minute of it.  Especially after being so poorly last year, every minute your pain free is a bonus in my book whatever your age!

So enough of my rambling, the first picture is of the fantastic cake that my sister made. Not only did it look it amazing it also tasted it!  One layer was chocolate, one victoria and one lemon all with cream in the middle.   So by the time that's finished and the 5 boxes of chocolates I got for my Birthday are done I think I will be back on my diet lol!

This next picture is of me and will already to go out for our meal!

And this picture is of me and my lovely sister whose idea it was to do the party:

I will be back soon with a card!

Thanks for stopping by.

The Tale of Thunder Tuesday and a Winter Wonderland Challenge .............

Hi everyone, what a week I had last week, on Tuesday we had a really bad thunder storm and when I got up there was no water in our en suite bathroom which is on our top floor as we have a 3 storey house.  I thought I had turned the tap off so off I went to work.  I had an awful day, my car played up all the 50 miles I had to drive to work it was just one of those days!  But it only got worse when I got home at 5.45pm I could hear the fire alarm going off  so I opened the door not quite sure what I was going to find, thank fully there wasn't a fire but the fire alarms were going off as there was water pouring through.  It turned out that the water had come back on about an hour after I left the house and I had left the sink tap on which then flooded the whole house as the water came out so quick it just shot over the side of the sink.  What a mess we were in, we have water damage to every room in the house.  We are going to need some new floor boards, ceilings, skirting boards, and door frames as well as complete decoration and new carpets through out. Once the floors are dried out I think we are going to have to move out for 2 - 3 weeks.  Thankfully my Mum and Dad live in the same village as us so they have said we can stay with them.  So at some point my craft room will have to packed up and put in storage.

So with all this going on my blog has been a bit quiet!  I did manage to make my Winter Wonderland  DT card and our theme for you this week is 'Red, White and Craft', so I hope you will come and join in the challenge.Thanks for stopping by.

A Scrapbook Page ............

Hi everyone, well what a hot one it's been today!   I was working from home today so I was sat in front of the laptop most of the day until I went to get Grace from the childminders at 5pm and the heat just hit me when I opened the door! It was like getting out of a plane when you go abroad!  There it's better than all the rain we had last year so mustn't complain!

Anyway I have a layout to share with you tonight which is for my title page in this year's holiday album.   Whilst I was sitting on the beach day dreaming about crafting I decided to have some fun and write in the sand for this photo!  I like having a title page for an album as it gives you a chance to introduce your holiday.

I would like to enter my layout into the following challenge:
