blonde moment but I'M BACK!!!

Yes i am naturally blonde, but i dont suppose that could be an excuse.  I promised that i would have a card for Mo's challenge this week, and i did, only problem is that i didnt load it to the dt group, duh!
so first off i want to share the first card i have made in almost two months and encourage you to join the challenge on Mo's challenge blog with the theme being "outdoors" this week, Mo has the best images out there and these talented girls have loads of inspiration to share.  So this is my contribution that i forgot to load.
This is where i see your eyes glaze over in boredom, so if you dont like browsing around other people's homes this is where you want to leave my blog.
As you've heard me going on and on about my great move to our new house i thought i would share a few pics since we are kinda settling in.


our fab new kitchen, if i tell you the last one was the size of a closet so this is just heaven to me, just excuse the husband looking like a gansta in my kitchen with his mouth full, lol

then we have my living room, with one of my tv addict kids on the sofa.



on to my bedroom and en suite bathroom.


the stunning garden that my children are supposed to play in, we didnt have a large enough garden for the kids in the condo we used to live in so this is a real treat, now to figure out how to get them out of the living room.



last but not least, my make shift craftroom as you can see from these pics the new one is in the process of being built, cant wait for them to get finished


wish i had thought of taking before pics, before they started the building and bashing and rebuilding, but sure you gonna love how it is gonna look when i get sorted.
thats it friends, i am so pleased to be back blogging and just had to get a makeshift craftroom sorted so that i wasnt mia for any longer than neccessary, see you all soon

  17. Speak about mental telepathy, I just sent you out an e-mail wondering where you were and where were the picture of your placed.. well you sent them before I could send the e-mail out and your place is gorgeous.. you have done a magical job with your decorating and your kitchen is fit for a king (well a queen in your case) and your bedroom looks so inviting!! I am so excited for you and soooo glad you are back... Your card is beautiful too, but that to is to be expected.
    Hugs, Jean
