I was brimming over having been so inspired by the classes and was positively on a high.
Walking through my front door to be greeted with hugs and cuddles made coming home so special. It feels weird when we are apart...like I have limbs missing.
The guys were eager to see what gifts Moma had bought home...Bobs was made up with his Ireland footie shirt and J loved his Lucky Irish Rugby shirt. I also grabbed a football for Bobs and of course a rugby ball for J.
So I finally unpack my bag...settle down with a cuppa and that’s when I got the news!
My poor Mom is in hospital :(
As I type this she is in theatre undergoing surgery. I’m desperate to dash up to Staffs to be by her side but life has to go on down here. Living 200 miles away from my family is tough at times like this.
I feel guilty because my sis’s are both doing all that needs to be done and I should be there to lighten the load, but I can’t just drop everything and go!
Bobs has really important school stuff going on and Hubs is up to eyes at work. I’ve got a heap of scrapping to do with a deadline that’s approaching far too quickly!
My sis’s have sorted out things and I’ll be whizzing up on Sunday to go visit.
Mom is going to be incapacitated for quite a while so it looks like most of my weekends, over the next few months, will be spent trawling up and down the M5!
My lil friend Emily, who broke both of her arms last week, is also in theatre today :( She needs to have both of her wrists reset..I’ve both of them in my thoughts and cant seem to get going scrappin wise.
It’s a nightmare waiting for the phone to ring so I know Mom is OK. My head is full of the blues and I hate it!
I’m really hacked off too b/c my camera is busted! Lordy knows what’s happened but it just won’t work! It was fine yesterday..I snapped a few piccies for projects I’ve been working on and all was OK...its been sat on my desk overnight and now the lil blighter is refusing to snap anything apart from my temper!
I haven’t time to whiz into town to get it looked at, so have to use my old camera...but I cant find the bloomin thing....its been put away for safe keeping!
Arghhhhhhhhhh! You know those days when everything feels like one pile of stinky old pooh...well today is one of them for me!
Cor this is a miserable old post...I’m tired, worried and feeling ever so slightly stressy!
Lets find some fun.....
Ok heres’s a piccie of Evas Altered frame class from Crafteire, which I finished off on Monday night......
this was one of my favourite classes. My frame is very distressed and different to the class but hey ho isnt that what classes are about? Taking something and making it your own??
And these are sneaky peeps of two lil projects I have lined up to teach at Crop N Crafts National Scrapbooking Day celebrations on May 5th.
Ive made loads more stuff but cant bloomin photograph it!
Im off to try and do some scrappin…..hopefully it’ll take my mind off things.
I could do with some humor right now....please send me some...please make me laugh on this 'orrible 'orrible day.
T.x.

Sorry to hear you're having a rough time of it. Sending good thoughts to you and your mum.
***************************
An elderly couple had a parlor in which they kept a couple of food bins. One of those bins contained apples, and the other bin contained nuts.
They were having quite a bit of trouble wth mice, so one evening before going to bed they set a couple of mouse traps, one by the bin of apples and one by the bin of nuts.
During the night they heard a trap snap. The old gentleman got up to see which mouse trap had caught a mouse.
On returning to bed his wife asked, "Well did we catch him by the apples?"
The old gentleman replied, "Nope, try again."

Defense Attorney:
Will you please state your age?
Little Old Lady:
I am 86 years old.
Defense Attorney:
Will you tell us, in your own words, what happened the night of April 1st?
Little Old Lady:
There I was, sitting there in my swing on my front porch on a warm spring evening, when a young man comes creeping up on the porch and sat down beside me.
Defense Attorney:
Did you know him?
Little Old Lady:
No, but he sure was friendly.
Defense Attorney:
What happened after he sat down?
Little Old Lady:
He started to rub my thigh.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him?
Little Old Lady:
No, I didn't stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
It felt good. Nobody had done that since my Albert died some 30 years ago.
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
He began to rub my breasts.
Defense Attorney:
Did you stop him then?
Little Old Lady:
No, I did not stop him.
Defense Attorney:
Why not?
Little Old Lady:
His rubbing made me feel all alive and excited. I haven't felt that good in years!
Defense Attorney:
What happened next?
Little Old Lady:
Well, by then, I was feeling so "spicy" that I just laid down and told him "Take me, young man. Take me now!"
Defense Attorney:
Did he take you?
Little Old Lady:
Hell, no! He just yelled, "April Fool!" And that's when I shot him, the little bastard.

Sorry to hear you are having a tough time at the moment, my thoughts are with you. As for a joke, brace yourself..
Man walks into a bar.... says 'ouch'!
Poor I know, but its the best I can do, I can never remember good jokes.
Oh don't be blue Tracie - although you'll match some of your fabby beads then!, Seriously though thinking of you at this stressy time, hope both ops go well and we can soon see sunny Tracie posts again xx
Sorry to hear about your mam hun. Know how it feels to be so far away from loved ones knowing they're not well. Hugs and kisses to you all.
Man says to his wife "I think I'll use one the Olympic Gold condoms tonight"
Wife "Again? Why don't you use a silver one and come second for a change?"
Tracie, so sorry to hear about your Mum, will be sending you and your family great big "get well soon" vibes. It was lovely to meet you again at Crafteire, looking forward to 2008 already :-)

One summer evening during a violent thunderstorm a mother was tucking her son into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mummy, will you sleep with me tonight?"
The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug.
"I can't dear," she said. "I have to sleep in Daddy's room."
A long silence was broken at last by his shaky little voice:
"The big sissy."
