Time Speeds Along

OMG where does the time go.......... This will probably be in a few parts

I now have to try to remember what I did since I last blogged lol

Well these first photos were a fabulous weekend spent with the girls, I love these weekend, not just for the scrapping and classes, but its great to spend time with friends and relax.

The Retreat was ScrapaMia, and it was one of the best weekends I have done, the organization was great and I loved most of the classes.

This was Michelle Jackson-Mogford's class, I actually made the bird cage, well it is still under construction, but nearly there, I really enjoyed this and Michelle was lovely.

The hotel was really nice, a little bit of a walk to the main building from the room, but the room was lovely and right next to the swimming pool.  I did manage a swim on the Sunday morning, but I was in it all on my own for about half an hour and had a bit of a 'primevil' moment!!!  but then Lis joined me.

This class was taken by Celine Navarro, strange woman, I did like the album, wasn't so keen on the papers so both Kellie and I bought different papers, it was handy that the shop was in the same room as this class.  The teacher sat at her desk texting on her phone the whole time, and had some very strange French music going, this was my least favourite class.

Emma Trout, gorgeous woman bless her, love her to bits and her layouts are stunning, she is so talented.  I loved this class, we did two layouts and I had to go and buy lots of the papers to make more.

This was Dina Wakley's class, have taken a few of her classes and she is great, not so into the very messy anymore, but did love the concept of the class.

The Wolf Sanctuary has an open Day on Bank holidays and this was the July one, took Tye's friends wife and her daughter with us to see the wolves, unfortunately the cubs were not out yet, but as always love visiting this place.

Kai is taking both Street Dance and Break Dance lessons, this was a Dance competition, and as Kai is the only breaker in the Street Dance class he usually gets to put in a few moves.

I have been really busy with photo shoots and a few more weddings, this was a lovely family shoot.

Kai turned 13, OMG where have the years gone, I cannot believe that he is now officially a teenager, he had a sleepover on the Saturday Night, and then we spent the day Paint Balling and I mean the day 8 hours of paint balling and then McDonald's, the weather was boiling which was good, but they boys got soo hot.  They had a great time though, even Tye joined in a few of the games.

We didn't go on holiday last year and Tye had a trip to Boston, which he said was work!!!! hmm a week's football tour, he doesn't play anymore so he went as the team photographer, I had to fix quite a few of the photos on his return.  Anyway I booked a last minute holiday for us to Majorca, and when I say last minute I mean last minute booked it one afternoon and we left the next day!!!!

Fabulous holiday, all inclusive, entertainment was great especially for Kai the food was good, the resort clean and the weather great.

Finally persuaded Tye to come and have a fishy foot pedicure!!!   It was really weird, it doesn't tickle vibrates a bit but my feet were really smooth afterwards, will definitely do it again, think Tye may need a years worth to make his feet smooth.

This is Norman my mother's latest Guide Dog puppy, Stokes has now gone into his second phase of training and little Norman is beginning his first.

Whilst I was at my parents we had to raid my father's allotment of potatoes, onions and rhubarb!!!!!

We visited the show at Highclere Castle, three day eventing, show jumping, dressage and various other activities, we did have tickets to the champagne evening entertainment, but the weather was awful and we got so wet we just came home.  The boys did some Archery, Tye was left with a nice bruise from this and I got some lovely photos of the horses.
