...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 :)

...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 :)

 ...thank you teacher cards!
