...friends fun and work...

August has been the busiest for me! Having 2 little hols at the start and fitting in a bigger workload and also making time for family fun and nights out with friends... and its not over! got my birthday/games night/bbq and a house warming this weekend and then B.O.S.S Summer school to help run for all of next week! Then maybe fitting in a bit of camping! before my children have to go back to school :( 
 This was a big order for exam cards...completely filled my dining table twice!
 I have started using a new way of adding text to the cards...I think I do prefer the blank cards because they can mean more for different occasions but for now this is ok.

 A card for a 55 Wedding anniversary (had to squeeze this in the morning before we went to Haven)
 On any exam results day I always get emergency card orders...this happened today and I had to resort to child labour!!! Abbee helped me to hairdry the glitter and glossy accents!
 Got the order ready to go within the hour! Go team Lewis!
 There are a few of us in our friends circle with Birthdays in the best month August! so we went to Zinga and had a lovely meal!!! and loads of laughs :)

 I even got a Birthday cake off the waiter (very long story involving lies!)
 We had a house warming at Nickys new house...and got very drunk and played the cube :)




 I went to a charity night which was a great night out! played some crouching/owling and planking games too!







I am also busy with finishing some illustrations for a book I have written...I really hope to have it all ready by the start of September because I want to get it published! 

We have a few baby showers coming up that I am helping to organise and also a wedding/hen shower/party! So much fun and excitement :)

Then theres the mugs, plates and eggcups that are my next venture with my card business! I am looking forward to working on my website for Playpals :)

...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!
