Happy Holidays

Sorry for my noted absence recently but we have been off sunning ourselves in Gran Canaria.  It was a well needed break after i have been so so busy this year.  Having said that we nearly didn't get there!.  4 months ago when i booked flights i checked my passport to make sure it hadn't expired - no 5 years left.  Now because i renew the passports at the same time then i didn't both to check any others BIG mistake!!!.  It didn't dawn on me that Lili's is only for 5 years because she's a child!!!!  So 4 days before going when i go to enter the pre flight information online i almost have a panic attack!!!.  Ok keep calm i'll just ring Liverpool passport office and spend a whole day (that i don't really have to spare!) sorting out a new one.  Oh no those days are long gone when i rung up the passport central number i was told they offered a same day service and a weeks service at all offices.  I explained it was less than a week till we go so could i have a same day appointment please.  Apparently not as as the next available appointment at liverpool was in 2 weeks time (erm why are people being booked in to a same day service when they fly in over a weeks time surely thats what the week service is for!!). To cut a long story short the only uk office with a same day appointment before we were going was Belfast!!!.  So off i flew to sunny Belfast (and it really was) to get little Miss G's passport renewed.  Alls well that ends well but not an experience i want to repeat!!!.

Back from the sun!

We came ack from hols on monday night and it has done nothing but rain since :-(. I feel like my tan has evaporated and i'm mad busy at work and with orders and restocking at Btany Bay.  Its like i have never been away.... (but was fab whilst it lasted!)anyway thought i would share a couple of pics from hols and a couple of recent makes with you all. 

 This photo frame is one of my faves and i almost resisted listing it in my shop as i want to keep it myself!

Back from Holiday

Well what a lovely fortnight away we have had but all good things come to an end :-(!!.  We got back in the earlier hours of yesterday morning and i'm back at work today so no real chance to catch up in blog world.  I am doing a cratf fair on saturday so will be sewing at every spare minute this week so hopefully will have some makes to show soon.  In the meantime i thought i would share a few pics from the gorgeous Anfi resort.

One more sleep till Gran Canaria

Morning all this is probably going to be my last live post for a few weeks as i am off on a family holiday to Gran Canaria tomorrow for 2 whole weeks.  Thats if i ever finish the packing - Mr G is going to have a hissy fit when he comes home and sees how heavy the suitcases are (and i haven't finished yet!!).  I am going to try and set up some scheduled posts for while i am away.  Hopefully one will be a tour of my craft room.  Anyhoo hope you all have lots of fun crafting over the next few weeks and i'll be back soon x x
