Less than a week until the big Wedding

Oh boy, I still need to look for a pair of shoes to go with my dress ! I have to work in the morning but having a pick up directly from work. Will take my clothes with me and get changed and ready at work ,lol. Thought I share the website if you want a look - Christine and myself have known each other for 9 years now. We started in our current jobs and went on the the training course together in 2002. This website shows the beautiful location of the wedding -Somerleyton Hall. Shaun will be up in the evening for the hog roast and party.

Our cats are much better, we still have the occasional flea , but nowhere near as bad as it was ! But it takes time to heal for the flea bites.My legs are still itchy and for some reason they target me and not Shaun ...I must have the sweeter blood, or I'm more hot blooded ,lol .
I'm still working overtime , tonight it's a 12 hour night shift. But I have also treated myself the past couple of days. I bought myself a new jacket for when it gets cooler now, and a pair of new boots. Plus another order from Amazon will be on it's way here , and I have finally decided to give giving up smoking another go. Christine has been using an electronic cigarette for 6 months now with great success ! So I thought I will give this little device a try a well, and ordered the starter pack. I will let you know how it goes and maybe post a pic when it arrives. It will save me a lot of money , the nicotine cartridges can just be refilled  and it comes with a battery charger. all in all it costs me the price of 8 packs of cigarettes and considering I smoke a pack every day that is fantastic.The aim is to cut down first.So while I am inside I "smoke " the electronic device, and when I am outside I will still treat myself to a proper cigarette. Considering I spend a lot of time inside at work and home doing housework this should cut down costs by more than half to start off with already. Then the nicotine strength goes down , until you can just order nicotine free refill , or even flavoured ones like chocolate , vanilla ,apple etc. I always found I miss something between my fingers , so this little device takes care of that. Hey, you never know unless you try - all the other non-smoking aids are free , you can just get them at the doctors, for this device I have to pay myself-so it will be an extra incentive as well. I just have to be careful with my weight. In the past I have put it on when I stopped smoking , hopefully my change of lifestyle now will prevent me putting too much on. Guess I have to work out a little harder if I notice my new smaller clothing getting tighter !
I will get ready to go into town now. My favourite crystal bracelet broke yesterday. It was a gift from Erik which he gave me while I was across there with him last year, so it means a lot to me.Nothing fancy, just lots of crystal chips on a thin elastic. I just need to get some of this thin elastic and put the crystal pieces back on it. I already have beading needles which are thin enough among my craft supplies.
I'm currently working on getting all the pieces of a Wedding kit wrapped up and do previews, planning for release end of the week. So this is all for now, will have some time off coming up soon and pop in again then.Leaving you with two pics .
Shaun and Sam -cuddle time

...and me at work ,lol

Hugs Snowy

Finally - the new kit is in Store

Hi, I have been finally able to get all the previews done and it's in Store now. -Safari.....plus there are lots of tubes to use with the kit which are also CU

 .Plus the free sampler to pick up in Store.

That's all for now -keeping busy as always and lots to do before work .
Hugs Snowy

ughhhh.....the work doesn't stop!

Hey all,
I'm busy having a War ! A flea war !
We have a year with lots of fleas here, seems the weather has been perfect for the little b****d to breed. So now the communal stairwell is full of them and without noticing they must have been carried or jumped into the flats. So yesterday I was busy bathing and treating our 3 cats, fumigating and cleaning the corners and floors , washing all kind of soft furnishings, cushions and pet bedding. It seems to pay off, the cats are a lot more comfortable today. But until the stairwell is done ( we have reported it to the housing association) we still have to keep up and watch out for them. That wasn't how I imagined my Sunday to be ! For a start I was still tired cause I was out dancing till the early morning hours and had not fully recovered from the 12 hour night shift before. But , as I always say-no rest for the wicked ! Will I ever get this kit ready,lol? It seems every time I plan on working on it something comes in between. But hey, I'm not someone to give up -I'll get around to it eventually. But for now I'm off - still upstairs to hoover and make sure those horrid little critters won't survive and lay more eggs. The steam cleaner has also seen some action to kill them off.Hopefully next post I actually have something to show. I want to start creating some printable spell cards ......
Hugs Snowy

Night shift recovery again

Hi again,lol
It was a busy night last night at the second day of the Air Show. There were events going on at several pubs and Clubs before the fireworks at the end of it...and it didn't end then.There were people out and about until almost 5.00 am this morning. I took a break outside for some fresh air when the fireworks was on and for a picture shot with my phone this isn't too bad, I think.

After it got more quiet it was a case of keeping myself awake, and what's better than plenty of coffee and nice company to chat with ? So I was chatting to my friend Eddy early morning hours again. Now you are going to laugh.... we carried on chatting when I was home and already in bed via my phone....until just falling asleep. When I got up it didn't take long until he was up as well, and when I asked who of us actually fell asleep first , he didn't know either. I thought it was so funny , literally passing out with the phone still in my hand,lol. I must be getting old !
We have our very own food supply for our lunch breaks at work growning over the fence. Blackberries-these are so juicy and sweet , I often stand there just picking and eating.

This afternoon I played a bit with Minky's kit and made another quickpage. I will make some more and you will them on one of Minky's blogs in future. That's all for now, dinner is ready and I want to go out later. Hugs Snowy

I have recovered,lol

Hi all, I needed to recover from yesterday, I was out at the Air Show all day , until it finished. Great time with Hog Roast, Ice cream and several beers -yes,I admit ,I was tipsy. Then home Shaun mixed me an Amaretto coke, -oh dear! I had the snacks ready for the evening as well and the first Pats game of the season went fantastic !They defeated the Jaguars 47:12 , with 3 touchdowns by new player Steven Ridley. So Snowy is definitely in Football mood - and I make this look good ,I think,lol .

Here are some pics from the Airshow. Cheers everybody !

Watching the show

All in all a good day.But today I needed to recover -slept until 12 and then slowly got ready , out for some fresh air into town, and now waiting for dinner to be ready and then will have to peddle off to work for a long 12 hour night shift. Let's see if I finish off this kit on my days off . Till next post -hugs :)

Airshow Day

Well, today is the 1st day of our yearly Airshow, I'm just getting ready to go out. Must remember to buy some batteries for my camera on the way ,so I can take some photos.
Plus the first Pats game of the pre-season tonight. A busy day,lol - so maybe later or tomorrow I can post some pics here for you to see -till then ;)

I earned my money....

Wow, was that a busy shift ! I really earned my money yesterday. Police were told they had to stay on and do longer shifts , rumors about looting and riots in our town....one said that MacDonalds windows were smashed in, another two said Argos and BHS were looted, yet another said the Britton Centre is on fire -nope, not true, but it still kept us busy with calls coming in. Asda , normally a 24 hour store, same as Tesco closed in the evening and shut their gates,but when I went home everything was peaceful....I really wish people would stop listening and spreading those rumors, they only cause people to worry or panic.
Friends on FB keep asking questions-why did it start ? what is going on now -or - hope everything is ok where you are . Eddy sent me a message :
hope the pucks give up on doing all the damage, stay save babe, watch out on your way home now, babe....
.. bless him, the sweetie ! -so nice to see that my friends care about my safety.
In Fen Park -a childrens play park ,a table and wooden bench , plus a hedge were set on fire by teenagers - I fail to try and make any sense of it, bar needless destruction.More unrests last night have shown that this is far from over, so I am prepared for another busy shift. I tried to design a bit more to get the kit finished but my brain was on strike last night and so I just went to bed in the end. But I have a few pictures to show instead. This was last night during a much needed 5 minute break outside at work , catching a breath of fresh air and taking silly pictures with my phone,lol

And of cause I had to show off my Patriots jersey on Facebook

I also ordered cute little pentagram nail decals from California - will show you what they look  like on the nail when I have time to put them on.

And another Dreamcatcher is done .

And now I have to do some work , get to the shop for some milk and then off to work. I'm running a little late as I already had a chat again with Eddy this morning straight after getting up while I had my first coffee, before I sent him to bed,lol. Of cause  the subject was what was on the news this morning and it's interesting to hear that the news foootage shown in Canada gets the same reaction and thoughts as it does to myself and lots of other people. We don't have enough Police ....this new Government has a lot to answer for ! Till next post -Hugs from here
Snowy

Just a quick post before bed....

...because I have the next pack of beasts ready - meet Mr Hippo ....

...and I got the main preview of the kit ready, although I'm still working on a few more pieces, but as usual it won't all fit on the preview. But this is it -I guess 3-5 more days and  it will be done , I still have a few more animals to do.

Plus the detailed previews need to be made before I can start to zip up and upload ...let's see how I get on with my time. For now I'm off to bed - I'm a bit tired as it got later than I had planned last night , and I had to be up at 5 am again this morning. As usual  when enjoying a chat with someone we couldn't find an end again, plus the time difference means a lot of my friends only just start to come on to Facebook to chat when I'm almost ready for bed. Last night I got stuck on the laptop chatting with Eddy again. lol. Luckily it's back to late shifts tomorrow. Oh , and I got my Patriots Jersey today -I'm so impressed ! It's fantastic quality and looks great.
But for now it's snooze time , quickly say good night to Nikki  who is on at the moment and then I'm off ....nite nite,lol

And part 3 of new designs

Hello again,
just quickly popping in again to show the next stage of design for the kit I'm working on.....the zoo is getting a bit fuller. This time it's a cute Leopard.

And also the quickpage again to show some of the backgrounds and elements.

And yippieeeee......I have Thursday off!!! Thanks to David and Roy who are between them covering my shift for me. So I can go to the Airshow and watch the football at night. Oh, and Lady Gaga will be in Lowestoft and in Hush Nightclub.Shaun is trying to find out when, and if it fits into my spare time we'll go and see this weird Lady,lol.
I do have to admit , I really like her new song-catchy !
  As for dating -I'm giving up for the time being, too many douche bags around and I am not willing to settle for anything half hearted. I rather be happily single than unhappy in a relationship again. I lost count how many I met and not a single one of them has the qualities I'm looking for.

Till next time , rofl -Hugs Snowy

Well- here I am again !

Lol- don't get too used to it. I might be posting daily again, but it might not last.
Tomorrow I'm back to work and on those hated earlies as well, to top it all off. So I'm making the most of the last hour before bed and quickly post the new addition to the kit I started.
Today was a shopping day, stocking up before I'm back to work and I hit two Stores which are having a sale in the moment. Ended up with a pair of Palazzo Trousers, Jeggings, and a pair of charcoal grey jeans which will be perfect when it comes to autumn time.Plus a pair new slippers and a sweater. The whole lot only cost me £20.00 , which is roughly $30.00. A real bargain day , so I was doing my "happy dance" ,lol. I also bought another book about crystals together with 3 new chrystals and my favourite magazine "Spirit and Destiny" was out new.
But this is the new addition - tubes and quickpage with it.

My friend Matt- bless his little heart (well for a 6 foot man it's not so little I guess) has offered to look for a Patriots baseball cap for me and send it over.
He lives only 30 minutes away from Foxborough and even helped build the stadium.
That will save me a lot of money. If I order it from the USA it will not only cost me more postage and packaging , but I would also have to pay tax. This way it will be a hell of a lot cheaper.Wicked !!!!
Let's see when I find an hour again to make some more stuff for the kit , for now it's a case of getting my work stuff ready and then off to bed for my beauty sleep. Hugs from here :)
Snowy

Just had to reply,lol

Hi again, - after receiving Kyra's comment I just had to reply and post again. When was I ever a good girl? Well.... until about 3 years ago I was , until I was corrupted .lol.

Anyway , just thought I let you know what I've been up to this time. We had a power failure for two hours last night after thunderstorms in the area. But luckily a laptop has battery power.So I was sitting there by candle light playing - not much else I could do with limited light.
So that's what I cooked up this time. Rrooaaarr..... this Pussy-cat is just too cute.

And the quickpage I made from the pieces so far is looking fab as well.

And with that I'm off again. This kit will be growing , but slowly !
Starting Saturday it's more overtime, 60 hours for the weekend and coming week.And Thursday and Friday will be the annual Lowestoft Air Show again. I will be working a 12 hour night shift on the Friday, it still remains to be seem if I can have Thursday off as planned. I hope so , because on Thursday night is supposed to be the first Pre-season Pats game ! The football season is starting. And I'm waiting for the Postman to bring me my parcel -I'll be in Pats style,lol.I have ordered a Patriots Jersey. It was a toss up between the number 12 Tom Brady and  Wes Welker.I went for a Wes Shirt in the end. Everybody seems to have the 12.You know me , lol- I like to be different and Wes is one of the guys in the team I like.
Bed time for this Witch so I catch you next time. Hugs :)

Would you beliieve it?

Hey hey....I actually did some scrapping last night . I think part of the problem is finding enough photos to scrap as well. Shaun is on a "no pics" trip and does not allow me to take photos of him, no other relatives here ....you get the point. I can only take pics of  events , work mates and of cause myself,lol .Plus getting back into other hobbies again is fun and makes a change. Anyway I have things to show.
For a start -Shaun has a motorbike. Here is his mean machine -and let me tell you, I plan on getting one as well eventually.

Then , reading blogs last night I came across Minky's and the challenge -so I downloaded the mini kit and got busy with it. I can show you a preview, the quickpage I will offer to Minky to put up if she wants. I changed the colours , used my own frame  and added some overlays and swirls.

And Goth is not so much Gothic anymore , I'm actually wearing more bright colours now. I made two layouts , the first pic was taken 3 months ago , the second one last week.
Layout 1 I used my Disco kit.

For Layout 2 I used my kit "Softly", there is a distinct difference in the photos - the second was only taken with my phone. But I was really in mischief mode then. Anyway- I have come home from night shift and need my beauty sleep now , so till next time :)

Checking in again

Hi, yes-I'm still alive , no I'm not on vacation,lol. Just not in the mood to design or scrap sitting on the PC for hours. But let me show some pics I have randomly taken of my activities.
Snapshot during a walk-Lowestoft Lighthouse

And  my pale yellow Oriental Lillies.

Fresh home made and still warm bread ...yummmieeee !

Creativity in the house ....

My newest creation-the Chakra Dreamcatcher with real crystals.

And another one, the Amethyst Fairy Dreamcatcher, also with real crystals.

In the moment I'm just baking a bunch of Whoopie Pies and already finished the filling for it, a Marshmallow Cream concoction which is just looooovely !Then there's tons of movies to watch.... the new Harry Potter , the new Transformers, The Avenger .... tonight is Psychic Night at the local Center , Friday another band playing at Notleys. All this in between work and you can be sure I am not getting bored.
That's all for now - I will be back ,lol
Hugs Snowy

Happy 4th to all my friends
