HS/MS/HS propmt is Autumnal well i have carried my camera round all day and the trees looks so pretty in all there colours but can i capture it on film ????? no all my distance shots the trees seem to loose vibrancy of all the reds and yellows so had to make do with a close up , autumn leaves,

So todays pics are Tranquil - flo our cat louging tranquily as she always does at tope of stairs making life look so bliss, From the HS/MS prompt, and my LO for the tallyscrappers challenge, done 2 days early whooppeee i must be on a roll lol

so little time

So many things to do so little time to fit it in ! but i have managed to do a scrap page today for the challenge on Tallyscrappers, well worth a look, we had list of things to use so found it bit of a challenge,

Apart from that seem to be spending most of the week being taxi driver for my DS and DD but i'm sure any parents knows the all about that always somewere to go,

Will try and catch up with HS/MS this week my camera is gathering dust can't have that ! something new going to happen there go have look i'm intrigued,

panic!!!!!

Help my laptop has gone to be mended and i feel like my arm has been cut off !!! so no photos from me for today , looking forward to seeeing what suprises HS/MS has in store for us : )

Amazingly i waited in today for laptop to be picked up and they actually arrived lol now that is a good start to week, down side is it will take 2 weeks ahhhhhhhhh what will i do ,

found

Thankyou to all who commented on yesterdays pictures, it seems chris t has actually found one : ) and kept it yeah i think i would have to, chris you are the only person i have ever know who has! As for maz's comment why did i not think of photoshop : ) will do another time now,

Ok so HS/MS prompt is Adventure today, and mine certainly was but not the usual, there we were 4 adults and 5 kids stuck at airport in spain all night !!!! some people shouted as frustrated, some cried , but us always ready to tackle a challenge set up camp for night , made beds for kids with things out suitcases told them what a adventure it was and what a story to tell when home, think it will be one of those things always remembered a right adventure it turned out to be just getting home, ( not to be repeated please ryaniar )

I turned into one of those people today that we all go urghhhhhhh ( or is it just me ) work meeting had dragged on and on all wanted to get away then he asked that dreaded question any questions???? always that 1 person who sparks whole new debate................. and we go arhhhhhhhhhh but today it was me !!!! how scary when i realised afterwards but i didn't understand something and i couldn't get others to see what i didn't get a circle of frustrated discusion ensued and i still don't think i got it lol but lesson learnt always a time when something not understood so next time that person goes but ......... i will understand and smile, ( this has probably been one of the worst bits of rambling i've ever done sorry )

Todays prompt of HS/MS is leaves and despite being on hands and knees no four leaf clover !!! has anyone ever found one ?

MMMMMMMMm delicious the HS/MS prompt from yesterday, had to be had ice cream well a 99 cone in the sun while out walking, but flake got ate first : )

catch up

well just have to comment on the weather , real indian summer in september this weekend really does make me want to get up and do,

quick visit today to catch up first is HS/MS portrait saturday, not the prettyiest picture but my DD when i said come on smile once to often for the camera yesterday , the other is my SOS picture for today not sure in it but i have been playing about with macro and quiet like the way this one came out, so much to learn never enough time to play and learn, flowers were thanks to my partner he is wonderful : )

love the weather

Oh what a glorious day chilly morning but then the sun so warm and bright makes the day seem brighter all round : ) Think i must have thought it was spring as turned out all my kitchen cupboards and if you knew me that is very very rare ! i#m clean and tidy but lived in tidy lol

So todays HS/MS prompt was enjoy and i looked at worl this morning but taken me 12 hours to decide on life is full of so many things i enjoy from a hug from my partner to seeing a squirel in the woods but settled on the picture below,

2nd of day

a rare event 2nd post of day, i bravely ventures back to weight watchers today after missing 3 weeks with holiday and work and it was so scary i had to jump off quick 6 lb on in 3 weeks !!!! i am one of those look at food and my eyes absorb the calories !

The picture below is from my scrap class ( total paper crafts september kit) the other week and it's here for the We Spy : you spy prompt of the week which is CREATIVE,

Summer Back ?

Thought i might have been hibernating all winter as the weather today has been glorious have i woken up in may ?

My bug bear of the day is .................. why do people name there house but not keep the number ???? i spent 45 mins driving up and down a very long road trying to go slowly looking for a house for work today, some names i couldn't even see, now don't get me wrong i think it's nice to give your home a personality with a name but can you not keep the number too ????

The HS/MS Promt for the day is BIG - well i did the usual when you think of big and thought what is on my daily travels today that might be classed as big ....................... wasn't going past big ben, no giant dog, or huge strawberry ok sorry i settled for 2 common areas of big in our house,
BIG MESS ( please note DS room !! ) and BIG PILE ( ok i'm the culprit on this pile of shoes that keep growing )

way hey it's wednesday

Wednesday ahhhhh my day off work and first time in ages all my tribe out were they are ment to be : 0 Bliss ................................. so sat with my morning tea and pondered what was to be done..... Housework mmmmm nope.................... washing mmmm nope ................ could do some scrapping finish my pages from the crop ............... tempting ......... but i decided i needed some more glue dots and well you guessed it my pop to the craft shop ended up in 4 hrs shopping .................... ah but my saving grace is i did get some xmas presents ( oh there i go again swearing it is way tooooooo early to mention such a thing !!!! )

swiftly on HS/MS propmt for day for anyone who reads this apart from fellow HS/MS er's is JUICY - so here is mine today cut up and ready to be squeezed into my curry for dinner ,
