Cards made for May demos

Herewith some of the cards I made for my demo's in May, hope you all like them!

I had a lovely day yesterday at Trelawny Garden Centre in Barnstaple where I was demonstrating for the day, the staff and customers made me very welcome and I can't believe how fast the day went.  Here are some of the samples I took with me.

What a weekend.....

What a weekend we had, we left on Friday evening for the U14 County Cup tournament at East Glos tennis club and got back yesterday evening.  We had a lovely weekend and watched some fantastic tennis from all of the teams.  The teams at East Glos were Somerset (us), Bedfordshire, Gloucestershire and Channel Islands. 

The girls had to play in some really windy conditions and wait til nearly lunch time on Sunday for the rain too stop, but despite all this they won most of their matches over the 3 days and came in second place.

Having fun before the last day despite the weather!!

Picking on the Coach (Natalie loves it!)

Well I look forward to next year's County Cup as at least three of the girls will play again next year, whilst the other two will probably play in the U16's

Lots of Well Done's

Well it has been a really good couple of days, as my daughter, Vanessa (12) won the U14 tennis tournament at Wells on Saturday and then on Sunday she came runner up in the U14 tournament at Taunton.  She has some more lovely trophies to add to her cabinet.

Today my son, Ashley came home saying I've got the results of my GCSE's, my heart went into my mouth, I took a deep breath and asked "Well how did you get on then?", and thankfully he replied I got an "A" in Physics and an "A" in Chemistry.  Well done Ashley.

Now we just have to wait for the results of his Biology exams to come in!!

So what with the lovely sunny weather this has been a great start to a new week!!

Spring at last ...

Well the sun is shining the daffodils are out and the garden is beginning to look lovely!

I just wish I had another week off work to enjoy more of this lovely weather, especially as the kids are still on Easter holidays.

Since last posting I have been really busy and I can't believe that we are nearly half way through April already, before you know it we will be talking of Christmas again!!

Well Ashley is back on crutches as he dislocated his hip the Friday before they broke up for the holidays, during a PE lesson at school, so now waiting to see Orthopaedic Consultant to see what the next step is.  As for Vanessa well as usual she has tennis during the holidays next week, so hopefully will have some news to put on here after next weekend.

And if you haven't noticed I have updated my blog background and hopefully changed my profile photo so that it matches the one on facebook (with the new hairstyle)

Just added ...

Proud Mum

Just wanted to say what a proud mum I am, my son Ashley just got the results of his first modules of GCSE exams that he took in November getting an A* in Biology and 3 A's in Physics, Chemisty and Maths.

We are all really proud of the hard work he has put in considering he has dyslexia!!

Well Done Ashley
