Twisted Sketch 09

Here is my LO for the Twisted Sketch 09
I love to doodle so this was right up my street
xTFLx






Here I am again, time passes and I have done loads but as usual failed to share with blogland



I have been meaning to participate in the twisted sketch challenge each week and finally on week 9 I produced this.


the twist was to add doodling, well I seem to be doodle crazy right now and virtually all of my LO contain some doodles somewhere. Of course this obsession could also to be to do with the fact that my doodle dogs are amongst the best parts of my life.


Couldn't pass without sharing a couple of pics of them


Rodney seems to have found a "burr bush" and this is what happens when he gets a little nosy

And of course Peggy at 7 months couldn't be anything other than cute so a cute one of her
Will be back in the next couple of days to share some of the pages I have done
Toodle pip for now

How bad am I??


Loved these pics of Star on her birthday when she discovered her Wendy house in the garden!
Am rubbish at this blog thing it's a fact

On the odd occasion that I sit here typing I wonder is this just another step in my ladder to the madhouse cos not only do I talk to myself I am now typing to myself!!! How mad am I???

Have been trying to keep up with the SLYMI challenge on UKS and it makes me complete at least 1 LO per week, I feel guilty if I just come home from work and scrap all day but I think I must do that at least one day per week, if I'm not physically scrapping I am reading looking learning about it so may as well be getting something done too.

Am waiting on Mr Postman to deliver me some felt so I can complete a LO, how can I have so much stash and still not have what I need??

Well I have wittered enough to myself for one day am off to the craft room to do some planning. . . .

Well have been home for a whole week! It's just whizzed by

I was well chuffed that one of my Layouts won another competition, more goodies on their way! Yipeee

Have been very bad and not done any scrapping or even any crafting for that matter. Oh oh I tell a lie I went to card club on Tuesday and almost finished a birthday card!

Poor little Peggy's got an upset tummy so might be back off to the vets on Monday!
Will leave you with a pic of my winning LO - Dream featuring Rodney last year at Challabourough Bay xx

Had a great day yesterday despite the weather. The in-laws came down to the chalet for a visit we had some lunch and then we all went for a long walk over to Burgh Island, which has nothing on it just a pub and a hotel and a ruined building at the top. There are great views and it's so peaceful. Peggy had her longest walk so far and she was pooped walking back (I think Dianne rather enjoyed walking her on the lead)


Typically when we got back to the chalet the rain stopped and out popped the sun.We waved bye to Dianne and Steve and then Leon took Rodders for a pebble throwing marathon on the beach, that dog can never have enough!!


I settled down for some scrapping with the excuse that Peggy was too tired for any more walking (which she was bless her). Completed another 2 pages that's 6 in total and a record for me my average at home tends to be 1-2 per week!!


Must upload the pics later, still getting used to this laptop and it's not got the easy uploading that I use on the PC at home


More later. . . .

Hey 2 days blogging on the trot I am almost impressed with my self. After walking the dogs and finally sussing out how to get the hot water working for a bath I settled down to scrap. Managed to complete another 2 pages. These are the 2 from yesterday, I asked Leon what should the title be for the pizza pic and this is what he came up with, I rather like it, it's a bit quirky, the layered up circle looks a bit like a pizza/plate and was cute so I wanted to add it (not sure it fits really but hey ho)
The 2nd LO is very simple and that is how I am trying to keep them so I can get lots done ( I did bring about 30 pics to choose from)
Well since Peggy has got me up this early I might go and have a cuppa and a read
More later. . . . .

Am posting from our holiday chalet at Challbourough Bay,the weather is a bit rubbish but the dogs don't seem to mind at all. Quite difficult to dry all the wet clothes we have.


Peggy went for her first walk on Saturday and seemed to quite like it.


Spent a plesant afternoon/evening scrapping and managed to come up with 2 pages, in some ways it's quite nice to just work with what I brought (which was quite a lot considering)


Well the sun has come out again so it's down to the beach with the dogs


Will just leave you with a few pics of us and the dogs
