End of the world weather!

OMG, have you ever seen anything like the rain today? I had to go out earlier to collect a takeaway - there were no drivers available and the roads were flooded. I said to myself, yeah right, I'll be there in 5 minutes. 35 minutes later I finally got there and home. We live in Drumcondra so we get the traffic coming away from Croke Park, so that's a lot. Add to that closed roads, burst mains and end of the world rain, and nobody is a happy bunny!
On a lighter note, Lainey's crop was on today in Castleknock. It's so long since I was at a crop, I was almost nervous going in! But, needless to say, it was a brilliant day. I'm almost finished my little book, and I'll post some photos of it tomorrow. Lainey and AnnaMarie also said that there'll be a big scrapping day on 1st November - my birthday (it'll be the 16th anniversary of my 21st, lol). Guess what I'm getting for my b'day - a day out! Already counting down the days!

Day out...

We drove out to Wicklow today, and stopped in the Sally Gap to take some pics. It was just gorgeous...

And then we went for pizza, pasta and chocolate ice-cream - an important part of any Irish bank holiday!

Bella-tastic!

I bought some new watercolour pencils on Saturday, so I decided to use them on some of my new Bella stamps. Do I need to say how much I lurve all the Bella stamps? As usual, all comments gratefully received!

Some cards...

Some of my "creations" (tee hee)

A get well card for a friend of a friend














birthday card for one of my son's friends













Sister-in-law's birthday card





















Graduation card for friend's son














Any and all comments gratefully accepted, honest!

Yay I have a blog!

Woohoo, I have a blog! Soooo exciting - now I just have to find things to do so I can blog about them ;) I'll start with some photos of my gang, just so you can put some faces to the names when I start ranting about them all.
