...work work work...

I seriously have had such a busy month... feel really exhausted :p I am drawing designs in my sleep! Its exciting at the same time though but with all the work I am struggling to fit everything else in and then I stress! But kids have broke up for the summer and me and my 2 girls are off to guide camp on Monday and then the following Monday we are going on a mini family holiday to Haven! Hopefully can finish the last of my college work then :)

 Had a few bespoke "Thank you Teacher" cards... Abbee designed her own amazing card! She is brilliant :)

 We went bowling on Thursday! Helping to celebrate the end of term!

...so flipping excited!...

the start :) got more mugs getting printed but these went into the shop yesterday! :)

...hugs...

I seriously like being hugged... sometimes its like I NEED to be hugged...ages ago I saw this on you tube...

 It makes me cry every single time I watch it! I think the guy in it is amazing! I am not sooo sure about hugging strangers though

I really think hugs can fix so much...you feel soo much better after one :)

Temple Grandin is a famous Autistic person...her story has been made into a movie which I recently watched and seriously enjoyed :) it shows how she invented the hug machine 

  I think its too extreme for me just regular hugs will do :) but I can understand the need for that tight pressure and the being held :)

there really does need to be more huggy people in my life :p

 one of the bestest huggerers I know :) ...my mummy <3

...July at the Marina...

took a walk around our Marina today...it was really windy and the tide was in but it was nice :)

 Dave getting a better shot :p

 Dave posted this one to facebook saying I was on the phone negotiating the price of fish (with the fisherman behind me) :p

 zoomed in here and not the best result with my phone camera but some guys where in the sea with a kite looks cool with Hilbre and Little Eye behind them

I absolutely LOVE living here!!! :)

...some cards from June...

...Bella wanted to be on the front of her card to her husband! how cute is that?

 This is Bobby on the front this card is off his son and family :)
