By the way....................
It's 11.05pm and it's still 20 degrees here in the NE of Scotland. That doesn't happen very often.
SLYMI - catch up
As I've had to stand most of the day (as sitting is still a bit painful) I thought I'd do a "Shimelle" and scrap standing up. It's not actually that bad and I managed to do 4 catchup LOs for SLYMI. Only 2 to go now.
So here we have... Scrap a Self Portrait.
Use pen on your LO.
Use green and blue.
and this weeks Use stickers.
I also finished adding the ribbon to 57 tags for Samuel's class mates to go inside the toilet roll book I made for his teacher who is leaving this week.

and on that note I think I'll call it a day for today.
So here we have... Scrap a Self Portrait.
Riding the Rapids - Chillin' & Ooops!

I spent the morning doing the ironing followed by a bacon buttie for lunch and a sore back all afternoon. I couldn't sit down and it to was too sore to keep standing so I ended up lying on Samuel's bed watching The Great Escape!!

Scrapbook Trends
There are some brilliant LOs in there just waiting to be scrap lifted and hopefully I'll get round to that this weekend. I have about 5 weeks of SLYMI to catch up with.
I thought I'd take the picture of the magazine stood next to the new jar cover I made on Monday while watching Everest ER (which is a fab programme narrated by David
Tennant!!). Well why not?

Tagged
I've been tagged by Joshy & Belle, you have to mention six unimportant things you love, link to the person who tagged you and then tag six further bloggers, so here goes...
1. I love sitting quietly at home happy with my own company.
2. I totally love crocheting and am very impatient to finish one project before starting another that I normally have 3 on the go at once.
3. I love Blogging - I only started to find out what all the fuss was about and now I try to blog every day. It's mostly about me and my family but also about my craft projects and of course HSMSHS.
There are so many talented people out there with great blogs to read.
4. I would really love to give up work and be a SAHM. I could easily find things to do to fill my days.
5. I would love to be better at photography and have learnt one important thing so far. READ THE MANUAL!!!!!
6. Family - I would love to be closer to them all but unfortunately work keeps us apart. Who knows.....maybe one day :)

HSMSHS - Hat
Jury Service
Well I didn't get picked for today but never mind it was really interesting to see how the system works.
We had to be there for 10.30 ( I got there at 9.30 as I had to drop the car in for it's MOT) and once we were all checked off we had to go into the court room and sit on the public benches. They obviously don't encourage the public to go as the spaces were so narrow it was difficult to get along them. They then go through the routine for the day and what to expect. Then the accused comes in and sits in the dock followed by the "All Rise" and the judge's arrival. All the names of the prospective jurors are folded in put in what can only be described as a large goldfish bowl. The clerk of the court then pulls out 15 names to be the jury. They go and sit on the jury bench, the judge goes out, the jury goes out, 15 minutes pass, the judge comes back, the jury comes back and the rest of us are dismissed!!!!! All very bizarre but interesting at the same time. I was sat with my fingers crossed hoping not to get picked on the one hand and then hoping to get picked to see what happened next on the other hand!!
I was back at work (via M&S for lunch) by 12.00.
I'll have to read the paper on Friday to see if says anything about the case.

HSMSHS - Filter
I haven't played along properly for the last wee while so I thought I'd start again today.
This is the filter from John's coffee pot. It's used every day and I think is beginning to let the bits through!!!

Busy, busy, busy
:: John decided he wanted to move the shed in the garden so he's been busy laying new slabs ready for the big move next weekend. The garden looks huge at the moment.
:: Samuel helped his Dad with the slabs and then had his pal round today.
:: In between all this madness we took Moss to the Spey for a bath!! It was gorgeous down there and really hot. Apart from Samuel and his pal getting lost!! it was a lovely walk.

HSMSHS - Engine
I can't take credit for this photo as Samuel took it while on a school trip to 617 Sqn at RAF Lossiemouth yesterday. The boy done good. A photographer in the making?
I should say for anyone who doesn't know what it is, it's the tail end of a Tornado aircraft.

Fantastic Weekend
What a brilliant time I had this weekend. It was well worth the hassle of trying to get a day off and having to fly to terminal 5 at Heathrow.
I met friends from last year and made new ones this year. GoGo the Northern Girlies. I painted, embossed and of course I flocked!! I did 3 great classes and one brilliant workshop, chatted, laughed and ate too much. And all in the name of paper crafting. What more could you want from a weekend.
I've had to "borrow" these photos from Ruth as I didn't take my camera!! I know shock horror, I didn't take a single picture.While I was there I met up with Val who was one of the original Scrapdragons over on UKS. She popped over for a chat, a coffee and a few piccies. Thank heavens for a picnic table and a purse to get the self timer going.
Here we are even if we were a little chilly!! Ruth, Yvonne, Jo, Me and Val.
And of course I met up with Mandi :). Mandi who had a passion for napkins! a very large........hat and of course her great sense of humour. Here we are having a bit of a giggle at both trying to get under the hat.
I'm so miffed that I can't make the next two weekends in October and March but I have my fingers crossed for an "Ooop North" weekend next July.
