This week's Paperplay challenge...

This is the first time I've made anything to a sketch, so hopefully it turned out okay! TFL x

Just finished an lo, so added that as well

More layouts - gone a bit nuts!

This is one I made for Sean jr. He was going through the album of lo's I've done and he was a bit miffed there weren't more of him. So this one is just for him!

And this is a page about Niamh's first ever ballet performance - what a proud Mammy I was! TFL x

Meabh's tear

Meabh's hair was in her eyes so I decided today was the day for a trim. She hates the hairdressers so I thought I'd do it myself. But, needless to say, she went ballistic. Tears, weeping, the lot.... Anyway, I eventually persuaded her to let me give her a quick trim, but not before I caught this photo. I think you should be just about able to see the solitary tear just hanging under her left eye... Honestly, that girl has drama in her soul!

First post of 2009 - part 2...

First post of 2009 - finally!

Well, it's 2009 (and has been for 21 days, I'm such a bad blogger!). Anyway, belated happy new year to every one and I hope you all have a healthy and happy one. 2008 finished in a bit of a blur for all us Jevs. Niamh was sick from Christmas eve; she ended up on an antibiotic and even now is still a bit sad. Meabh was sick on and off, without it ever getting too serious. Sean ended up in Temple Street with a viral infection that attacked the muscles in his legs! Pretty scary, let me tell you. Thank God, all are doing okay now but Christmas was a bit of a washout in the end. Santa came and brought some fab pressies, but everyone was so unwell they're only getting to play with all the good stuff now.

By the time Christmas arrived, I had made almost 600 Christmas cards. I made and sold 532 cards, and donated some money to Temple Street from them - felt quite good about that actually! Still, I'm glad it's over - got a bit sick of Christmas images by the time it was all over.

Started the year making more wedding invites - one wedding already done, and I've 5 more in the diary, with samples still out there in the world. Hopefully it'll be a busy year...

Okay enough talking, time for some pics.

These are the pics I used on our cards

Here are four cards ordered for the same girl's 21st:

More pics to follow, honest, I'll update tomorrow! TFL x

Halloween..

Soooo long since I posted - bad blogger! Belated happy Halloween to all. We had a little party on Friday for the kids and their cousins - apple bobbing, lots of sweeties and sparklers galore. Had to pull the kids off the ceilings at abou 10.30 p.m. to try and get them to bed, nutcases all round...
