Craft and Catch Up...

I had these cardboard shapes on the table and Charlie asked if they were magnets.
Bam inspiration hit...The results...
These first 2 sets have been made from a Charlie and Lola set. The little characters are game pieces.

These were a bargain (75p) in Boots sale. They are Chrismas decorations but I have taken the ribbon off and then added the magnet to the back.

The Bros. How cheeky are these two??

This is Alfie going for a nap in the day. His expression says it all.

Charlie announced he is going to join the Homework club on Tuesday Lunchtimes.
His class had a coffee morning at school for the elderly in the community.
I now wait for him outside the school gates and he comes to me. I'm part proud and part sad about this move as it makes me realise he is growing up:(
Alfie waves Bye but only when he wants to and usually to a character on TV when they say Bye.
He has found Mummys craft room and that the drawers pull open and are full of bright coloured papers.
He copied mum saying "Ow, no" (in response to her hair being pulled).
I have signed up for a Family History course with Helen, it starts end of Feb.
Tim brought me the new Paolo Nutini CD.

Thank you for all your kind and positive comments.
Ros: the circle wording on the pink card is a stamp, an old wooden one.
Funny story: when I first started crafting I was looking at stamps but didn't buy them because I didn't like the colour of the picure on the front. Yes, I thought this is how it would turn out...
Annalisa: If I lived nearer I would make cards as a trade off for your food (esp puddings!!)
