FINALLY!!! after ages I got a rainbow! So happy :)

 In our very jam packed week we managed to squeeze in a 3D Glee session!!! We were singing along! It was fab!

 A night out with SHAKE this weekend...I havent laughed so much ever! an thats saying alot!

 

Claire was sent to the corner for drinking Gavins her pint!

  

always popular with the ladies :p

 

...Birthdays in August...

I always loved that I got to have my Birthday in the summer hols! Being in August you would think sunny day? So far it has rained on my Birthday for every year I can remember...didnt let me down this year either with hailstones a little shower :) ...I got completely spoilt this year... my mum threw a massive spead at her house and all my sisters came! The food was lush! and I got loadsa cuddles off my Niece and Nephew! I LOVE being and Aunt!

  Then Shelly Chris and Sophie came round for a games night! 

The next night at Laura and Dans housewarming I got very embarrased when they brought out a cake and sung to me!!!

I was so spoilt with all my lovely gifts ...money :p...jewellery...perfume...alcohol...vouchers for my fav craftshop, (I really love how people know the things I like! makes me feel very loved) and Si and Nicky got me loads of things and when I showed Dave he said it was a bag of Lisa :)

Then on Tuesday we went out for my Birthday meal to Frankie and Bennys for the Mushroom starter that we all love! The last time we where there (aftershow meal in Feb) I saw someone being sung Happy Birthday and I said how embarrassing! Stace and Si made a pact there an then to doo that to me! I wondered why my friends were joining in when the song came on and then out came the waiter with my cake! My cheeks lit up the room!

At B.O.S.S sumer school we had a couple of Birthdays to celebrate...

 Sam turned 30!!! so me and the B.O.S.S kids decorated the drama room and then "practiced singing" and surprised her as she came in :)

Next it was a surprise for Shirley!

I love celebrating xoxox

 

...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 :)

...late night costa...

...ok its Saturday night you are full from a teatime bbq...nobody wants to play boardgames with you so whats the plan? 24 hour costa road trip :p YAY!!!

 we noticed some funny lights as we were driving and realised it was some lanterns floating in the sky they looked so pretty
