Cupcake class this Saturday

Thanks for all your lovely messages about Ross yesterday, he seems fine today and quite proud of his bump!!!!

Saturday is my cupcake class and I finished the cards and all the cutting out today (phew!!)

We will be making the cupcake box below and 4 cards and stamped envelopes!

Close up, no arty farty angle today!

I still have just 1 place left so if you are in the Leeds area and want to come along just message me at julie.kettlewell@ntlworld.com

Another day another trauma!

Well I dont think its been my week!!!

Today my eldest Ross was hit very hard on the head with a cricket ball. He was sat waiting to bat and a boy hit a ball for 6 and it hit Ross on the head! He was very shocked and very upset but he seemed OK. Luckily there was a nurse watching her son in the other team and she did alot of checks on him. We still took him to get checked out after the game.

It just makes you put things in to perspective, and realise how lucky he was, it could have been a lot worse.

He is tucked up in bed now and seems OK.

This afternoon while he was resting I made up the cupcake box and cards for my class this Saturday. I really enjoyed it and I have got everything organised already so no rushing around!

Here is the box that will hold 4 cards and envelopes!

Close up of the glitter!!

And a chunky arty farty angle!!!!

I will show you the cards tomorrow.

Want to take this opportunity to say thank you for all your messages about Evan and his dental problems, he seems OK but we have to go back and do it all again!!!!!

One of those days!

Its been one of those days today, and not a good end to a naff week. Have felt fed up this week for one thing and another, mostly a bit stressed with things, letting them get me down but today was the icing on the cake!

My little boy (age 6) has got a bad upper front tooth (it is basically dead as he bumped it when he was little), this has now caused him to have an abcess on the gum above it!!!! Now even I wouldnt want an abcess and I am 36 let alone 6!!! I got him an urgent appointment today with a different dentist and it was a very awful experience. The dentist sighed and said it was an abcess and what did I want to do!! HE needs his tooth out! So we decided to try and do it there and then! Well he managed to do the whole needle thing and then Evan freaked out!! There was no way he was going to let him take his tooth out! It was awful, he was in tears, I was holding back the tears! We both left feeling traumatised!!

I know in the grand scheme of things it is not a major thing, there are poorly children who every day need to suffer with treatment to help them, but it is hard to see your child in pain and so very very frightened!

Since we have got home he seems to have got over it but we still have to try again as it needs to come out!

I managed to make a card though today!! Hurray, only my 2nd one in July! THis one is for the Friday Sketchers challenge and it is for one of the teachers are my boys school who organises the after school cricket club which Ross has thoroughly enjoyed! He doesnt really have his own class so I thought he wouldnt get many cards etc

Papers are a mixture of the Junior Varsity and the Designer Paper Pad which is a Level 1 hostess set. Sentiment is from Circle of Friendship.

I have punched out 2 stars and customised them with my own cricket balls made with the 3/4 inch punch.

Arty Farty angle!

Bye for now and sorry to drone on earlier!
