An up was that I received some metal for crafting ... a chic set of measuring cups and a large box of Thornton's from Emma and DS, along with cards from them all (Birthday and Mothers day) Ben decided to eat his one to me so there is a bite out of the bottom lol
I have also ...at last ... decided what to spend my Birthday money on, so that will be ordered later today .... cant wait....will post a photo when I get it all
Another up is I found a member of the family... on a branch that I thought was long lost and we have been communicating and swapping information this week. Until I moved up to Bonny Scotland we only lived about 10 or so miles away from each other.... small world. We share the same Great Grandparents. Some of you who read my FH blog might remember a LO about the Mobsby Family ... the girl was his mother.
Yet another up ...although a tiring one .... is that Vicki's nephews have been staying with us as their Mums not well. I had totally forgotten that there was a 6.30 AM lol
This is them helping to make cookies with Vicki
Maybe there were more ups than I thoughtNow to the real purpose of this post ...WOYWW ....
Sorry this is a bit dark ....
I am not sure about the doodling as I used a thicker pen and am making more blank space... not finished yet .... but probably will bin it and start again ... must have a think on that one . My pen ran out on the other doodled LO and I know I had another but could I find it???? ....and patience is not my middle name. More haste less speed as they say.
The rest are photos and papers I am musing over for a LO of the German Market in December.
Now that was the easy bit ... nearly time for lunch ... and chocolates and coffee for stamina when I start checking up on every ones blogs,....how many this week I wonder???? ...and excuse to eat naughty food ... yum . May be it should be 'Whats On My Waist Line' lol
Take Care xx

Can't wait to see what you get with your birthday money Angie :) How interesting to find one of your relatives. I've got lots of not-so-distant relatives that I've lost touch with due to family circumstances. Little ones are fun but can be tiring :)

Don't you dare bin it ... I cannot for the life of me doodle and yours looks fab ... so don't bin it! Can't wait to see what you are buying with your birthday dosh ... very exciting :0)
God Angie, What's on My Waistline!!! I nearly choked on my MArs Bar!!!!!!!!!
Don't bin that doodled LO - it's amazing, go ahead and use it..show us tho, huh.
belated happy birthday. Hope you enjoy your new toys when they arrive. The doodles look really interesting - I hope you don't bin it. Looking forward to seeing your finished page
Don't you love it when people are smart enough to give you dosh for your birthday so you can get soemthing you really want! I'm sort of jealous about the metal bits.. would love to give that idea a go!! I would say your week was pretty much all ups!! LOL
By the looks of it more ingredients went into mouths than the cookies!! I love that my kids dont get up early now! Hugs Pam
Glad there are positive things this week too. The doodling is fantastic, truly, it is! Good break through on the FH side, new people are coming to the hobby all the time, joining on line sites etc. If I get really stuck on a line I tend to put it to one side for a few months, usually something new has become available in that time and I can get going again.

A belated very Happy Birthday Angie - you kept that one quiet - not like me LOL!!! Glad that you soon realised there were more ups than downs - I think we all feel like that sometimes. Love the doodling. I do it when i'm on the phone but it's certainly not printable!!!
Can't wait to see what you get with you b'day money
Paula x x x
oooo I love your doodling Angie!!!!
Awe...look at those little chaps, sooo serious hahaha
The pic in my frame came with it...I just haven't got round to puting one of mine in there. Its only been there a year hahahaha XXX
Don't even think about binning that page Angie, don't you dare! Elsie Flannigan has made her career on doodles like that and yours is amazing!
Can't wait to see what you buy with your pennies :D How exciting finding another member of your family!
Great doodled CS!!! will look forward to seeing the finished LO!!! that looks like one whole heap of fun in that mixing bowl :)
Oh, I wonder what you're treating yourself to! Hope you have enough energy to blog it. I will add my plea - your doodling is great!
love the doodling - just saw this in a papercraft mag as an idea to make a card and was going to give it a go - SO DO NOT THROW AWAY - looks every bit as good as what was in the mag! Happy belated Birthday and enjoy spending your money.

OH I love, love, love, love, love your doodling..is that enough LOVE to tell you it is totally awesome!!!!
Great pics of the cookie making and yes 6:30 AM is such a grand time!!
Can't wait to see what you get with your Birthday money!!
Happy Birthday Angie. You've got me wondering what your birthday money bought - and now I NEED to know!
Don't throw out your lovely doodling. You could use it as a background to a card at least if you don't want to make it into a layout. It's far better than I could do.
Those little boys look full of mischief. I bet you'll miss them when they leave.
I love that doodling, it looks great! Looks like the boys had fun with the cookie making too. Happy belated birthday
Nice bit of doodling! Happy birthday!
What's on my waistline??? Ha, ha, ha...that one was really good! Fancy finding a new relative, must be amazing....what sort of cookies where the kids making??? Can I have some??? All this talking about the waistline has made me hungry...lets have a look in the fridge...
Enjoy!

Fab doodling...looks grand hun, don't bin it!!! Have a great week and enjoy spending x
NOOOOOOO ANGIE you can't do that! We NEED to see it finished next week. Isn't it addictive. You're doing great honey. Can't wait to see what you spent with your pennies. :)
Thank You for your wonderful blog support. I love reading all your comments. :) Your little men look like they are having a fab time. Hope you're not too tired. Hugs, Gez.xx
ooh don't bin it.. it is brilliant doodling.. please tell me you haven't???? xx
Your doodlings look fab, I agree with everyone you mustn't bin them!! Didn't they have fun making cookies?
I love your doodles, I think they are fantastic! . Look forward to seeing what you buy with your birthday money and the little ones look like sweeties even if they do get up at a very unsociable hour! Tracey x
Love the doodling...don't bin it!
Thanks for your visit:) in answer to your question the shaving brush is to stipple distress inks onto card.....gives a more subtle all over colour coverage than using the T!m tool & foam....useful if you don't necessarily want the darker edge to the card you usually get with that method.
xoxo
Your doodles are fab Angie. I love the Crocco paint, just need all the rest to go with lol.

You and I will fall out if you keep making silly suggestions that that Angle…….what’s on your waistline…..I ask you. Mind you, I bet your waistline was looking good after you sampled all those lovely cookies!
The babes look like they were really having fun.
Great news about the new family connection and it’s so strange that your were all living quite close to each other and didn’t know. The same thing happened to us with one of my dad’s cousins.

oh wow!! I love your doodling!! Can't wait to see the finished doodle! Happy belated birthday, it was mine last weekend too, so spent birthday money on crafty stuff, well, that's what it's for!!
(Lyn)
don't you dare bin it, I think it looks FAB :0)
what cute little visitors :0)
Thanks for the water colouring love!! Never say never, I only put my craft room together just last November and only really got going with stamps and inks at that time. I started coluring in images with my inks and a Zig water pen just before Christmas, and have now just incorporated the water colour pencils. I year ago I would have said I'd never be doing it either, so have a go, you never know!
