Oh my goodness, it is totally official I am the worlds worst at writing a Blog!
I just came to follow a lady and take part in a crafty competition and thought I would check the last time I wrote in my blog..... Umm 2011. So many changes it is untrue, I mean seriously life changing things. Will start with the sad as I know in a previous blog I had talked about our fur babies. Sadly we lost Smokey a couple of years ago and it broke Phillp's heart and my Mums bank account. Then earlier this year Smirnoff got sick and we had to do what was best for him. But Poppy got a puppy, well he is a year old now so really not so much of a puppy lol. His name is Monty and he is a bundle of bounce, Tigger would have been a better name (am I the only person that does the T I GG ER when they type Tigger?)and he is now a part of the family. Talking of Poppy she is now 21 and a wonderful young woman. She has her own business on Etsy and makes phone charms and Key chains .As of last month she also got a job working in Publix and is doing amazing things. So very proud of her. Also before I forget she does conventions in and around the area.
But I suppose the biggest news and I really do mean BIG lol is that we are no longer a family of 3 (well human wise), we are now a family of 4. Back in 2013 we welcomed Mac-Ella into the world. She was a total surprise but a joyous happy one and is the sunshine in our world. I know that some may wonder why Mac-Ella? When I found out I was pregnant (funny story, my Mum actually asked my husband if I was pregnant after we went for dinner and at that point he said "no don't be silly". He then told me and I realized that I hadn't been visited by the monthly curse for quite some time (months and I had put this down to stress of being flooded out of our apartment and moving.)so next morning I did a pregnancy test and yep Mum was right lol)we talked about names as you do and the only thing we could actually decide on was if it was a boy he would be called Mac after my Dad. Phillip wanted Willow-Rose for a girl and in all honesty I liked it but we had a cat back home called Willow. So I decided boy or girl they would be called Mac. This of course made my Mum happy and she suggested the -Ella so it was a girly name. So here we are 3 years later with a little girl that is way to smart, loves to swim and is just perfect (as every parent says). This week I will update and do photos of our little monster.
Recently I have taken to the crafting community on YouTube and it I fun, I have made a couple of project share videos and will see where it takes me and if I want to set myself up for the trolls in this world. Also a new thing for me pocket letters, so now I say why everyone liked them lol.
Other big news Mum has started her own business making house items and furniture and twice a month we go to #Pierce Street Market in Clearwater to vend.
Hope all of you are well
