Surprise!!!!!!!!

............ that's what I got first thing yesterday morning!
Dean arrived home from Kenya a month early!! YEAH! I was the only person that didn't know he was coming home but I didn't care when I found out I was just so pleased to see him. He looks so well all tanned & gorgeous!
Even though he's only just got back to the UK he has to be back at work in Germany next Monday so they're going to travel back there on Wednesday. I'm a bit sad but understand that he, Rachel & Olivia need to spend some time together, just the 3 of them, before he goes back to work. It won't be too long before we see them again though, they will be back here in May so it's not too long to wait.

I went cropping yesterday in Warrington & got my hands on some gorgeous new stuff from Sarah - 3 Bugs, Pink Paisley Fetching, American Crafts remarks & some new thickers, some pom-pom trim & My Minds Eye Grow and I've been scrapping with some of it already!! .......... oh and I won one of the raffle prizes too - a Tinkering Ink Botanical Bliss kit! :) ......... I guess it was my lucky day!

Here are the 2 layouts I did at the crop, the first is of Henry last November, I still need to do my journalling on the cream sticker mat but thought I'd show you anyway. He was made up cos' he could sit up on his own on my bed, as soon as we put him on the floor he lost his balance again & tippled over, it wasn't long before he could do it all by himself though & now he's crawling there's no stopping him!!!













I used the new Pink Paisley Fetching collection for this, it's absolutely gorgeous in real life, I got it all so expect to see some more pages with it soon.

This is Henry again, I love his smile in this photo, (look at his two little teeth) it was taken by his mummy on his first Christmas morning (2008)
I used the new 3 Bugs in a Rug Snips & Snails collection, I just love them, they're perfect for Henry at this age & sooooo cute! I'm going to get on & use the rest of them while I have the photo's & urge to, so watch this space!













I've also been busy doing my DT stuff using the March kit from Sarah's Cards and will upload some sneaks very soon - I did take some photo's on Saturday but when I've put them onto the PC they're not as good as I thought so I'll try again tomorrow, fingers crossed the light is better then!

Well I need to get an early night so I'm off now, thanks again for popping in, please come back soon, love
