A new beginning

Well, after blog hopping rather a lot this last couple of weeks, I have decided that the recycling I do just isn't enough, we already do all our card, bottles, cans, plastics, clothes etc and have a compost heap for our kitchen scraps etc but I now want to do more, so I have joined freecycle (at last) managed to pick up a lovely little bedside cupboard for Gracie yesterday. I also wnat to stop buying new as much as poss, so will be scouring charity shops for bits and bobs for the house and my crafting, we need new wardrobes (well Martin needs one full stop) so will be looking on freecycle and local second hand furniture shops for those.

These are some of the blogs I have found.

Back to School

Well the kids went back to school today, it was nice to have the house to myself for a while, then a friend popped round and we ended up going to IKEA (not much of a struggle) I was good though and only spent £24!!!

I have been working on a memory board for a while and was hoping to get it finished in time for the IACW blog, but unfortunately didn't, but its done now and here it is, it looks lovely in my bedroom with all my other red and cream bits on my dressing table, I want to do one each for the kids now.

Busy Days

Its been hectic around here for a while, I have been at my sisters for the weekend helping her to pack up for moving house this friday, and bring home some bits that she no longer wants.


I have done a bracelet for the creative world blog, I have just adjusted the pics a bit as they were dark, its my gorgeous summertime bracelet :)

Before I go I want to give a huge hug to my lovely friend Jo who has just lost her dad, lots of love sweetie, take care xxx
