Puppy Love

The title of this layout says it all. The paper is vintage (old) Ki Memories and I've had it for ages so it was nice to be able to put it to good use at last. The photo is really sweet with Molly cuddling into Jim's shoulder.

I took a half day holiday today to take Laura to buy some more school stuff. Her friend Jenny came with us and we shopped till we dropped. ~When I say dropped I mean dropped into Costa Coffee for smoothies, hot chocolate with cream and a selection of cupcakes LOL. Rocky road cupcakes were the flavour of the day and Laura and Jenny quickly scoffed theirs. I was left wishing that I had ordered one instead of the lemon one I had.

It's my turn to provide the home baking in the office tomorrow so I've been busy baking tonight. I have two pavlovas ready for the cream and fruit to be added tomorrow morning and I'm just off to rustle up a couple of fruit loaves to go with them. I'd better get a move on or I'll be up all night.

Kisses from Molly

I was scrapping today with some friends and was quite productive (for a change) and managed to do four layouts. I brought Molly to the shop to let the girls see her. She was on her best behaviour apart from having a little wind LOL. She got thoroughly spoiled by everyone and enjoyed plenty of cuddles. The photo above was taken a couple of weeks ago in the back garden and she was trying to lick my face.

Catch ya later.

Yoo Hoo I'm Back

At long last. I've had no internet access for about three weeks and it has been driving me nuts. I could not figure out what the problem was and I have tried absolutely everything to fix it and ended up making it worse instead of better. Fingers crossed it's fixed now.

So to catch up:

Work is going well and I am mega busy.

It looks as if my contract will be extended until November.

I'm going off to Cumbria for a few days soon to supervise on a leadership course for twelve of our Apprentices.

Jim is not really any better and he is fed up not being able to drive.

He is still waiting on an appointment with the neurologist.

We are off to the hospital tomorrow for an appointment with the Consultant.

I'm putting on weight again (cos I'm eating breakfast in the Canteen - fab bacon rolls though).

Molly is getting bigger and cheekier by the day.

My scrapbooking mojo has disappeared and I'm struggling to get anything done.

Laura is turning day into night by staying up late then not getting up till the afternoon.

Her hormones are raging like a typical teenager LOL.

I think she is getting a bit bored with the holidays but would never admit it.

Last night (at 10pm) Laura and I decided to bake. We had been looking through some of my cook books and spotted a recipe for Chocolate Fudge Cake courtesy of Nigella Lawson. There were one or two ingredients that I didn't have in the cupboard so I did a quick trip to our local ASDA and was back ready to start baking at 10.30pm. I rustled up two fabulous cakes in double quick time and then headed for bed. This morning I made the buttercream icing and, as if any more calories were required, I grated dark chocolate over the top. I left half of it at home for Jim and Laura and took the other half into work and we scoffed it. I didn't even have time to take a photograph LOL. I hope you like the photo of Jim with Molly she really is getting bigger every day.

Off to bed now cos I'm exhausted.

Till tomorrow.

More Molly Photos

We had a replay of the 2010 World Cup in the garden today with the two little footballs I bought for Molly to play with and she had great fun with them. We are going through puppy training pads like crazy but I suppose I should be grateful that she is not leaving us little messages on the floor. She is settling in well and seems happy to be part of the family.

I've been checking out the new PTI releases but can't make up my mind what I would like. Actually I should maybe use some of the stuff I've already bought first LOL.

Till tomorrow.

Meet Molly

........ the new addition to the Eadie family.

We picked her up on Friday afternoon and the poor wee soul was sick all the way from Ayrshire. I think it was a combination of first time in a car and being separated from her brothers. She is absolutely gorgeous and quite a character. No doubt you will be seeing more of her in layouts in the future.

I've had a busy couple of days in the office and running about after Molly when I'm at home. Tonight I thought I would chill out a bit and I'm just watching Wire in the Blood with Robson Green and Hermione Norris. I absolutely love this programme, I think it is probably the psychological profiling bit that attracts me. Jim argues that it is Robson Green that I like and I do think he is a fantastic actor (but a bit on the short side LOL).

We had some fun playing football with Molly in the back garden earlier this evening. She has now found out the she can bark LOL. We were in fits of laughter watching her running about mad with her mini football and yipping and growling all the time. I put her on the side of Laura's trampoline to brush her and the next thing I knew she was running about all over the trampoline. I couldn't grab a hold of her because of the safety net and had to wait until she was good and ready to come off LOL. The photo itself is quite poor but I would defy anyone to take a good photo of a nine week old West Highland Terrier pup running around on a trampoline LOL. She kept running right up to the camera and I have more close up shots of her eyes and nose than anyone would ever want.

Till later.
