And the flowers........

This is just to say thankyou to Mike and Lesley from Ellie's doll workshop for the lovely flowers given to all the judges, totally uneccessary it was a pleasure but thankyou.

It's been a hectic few days.........

I seam to have been on the go all week! I would really like to have a long sleep in but don't seem to be able to sleep either, even today when I finally get a bit of a day off!!
I spent Saturday in Bristol taking my daughter to her first trampolining competition, she got placed second in her group whoo! so we have one happy bunny and Mother managed to make a fool of herself in the parents and coaches fun competion, at least I finished 8th out of 16 so not too bad but not sure I will get over the distress I caused my body!! discovered muscles I didn't know existed!

Ellie's Doll Fair, exhibition and competition.

This was on top of the stress of knowing that I had an exhibition the next day and preparations were scanty to say the least, But it was a lovely day. I spent most of the day judging the competition but we were well looked after and and it was great to see so many old friends.

Such a beautiful day.....

In this part of the world, it seams that nature is catching up with itself and after such a cold winter and spring, it has flipped and it's actually too hot to sit outside! I've been distracted by all sorts of things in the garden, still frustrated at the lack of shed as the grass needs mowing and I can't get the mower out of the tent at the moment, let alone tackle the grass that is growing around the tent! Anyway, we are taking advantage and some good friends will be joining us tomorrow for a barbeque.



I'm supposed to be getting ready for an exhibition next weekend in Bournemouth at Ellie's doll fair. I have at least made a start and laundered all the baby gowns, the sun will do its bit of bleaching!

The lilac blossom has been lovely this year, well actually it has been a good year for the blossom all round

It's booked and we're going!! Hooray!

Well I finally managed to book our flights, I'm registered to attend the UFDC convention in Las Vegas this summer, finishing off with the Doll Expo in Washington DC on our way home.
This is going to be the holiday of a lifetime for me and Alice. I get to play dolls at one of the biggest doll conventions in the world and Alice gets to go on some of the biggest rollercoaster rides too. We intend to have some time in los Angeles at the Universal studios and a few days at the Grand Canyon, somewhere I have been before but a place I can't see too much of.

Now I need to seriously work on some competition stuff and get my profile updated......
I'm so excited!!
