It's been awhile...

It's been a very long time since I last posted. I've been keeping busy with my craft though things have been a little slow. I was lucky enough to join my very close friend Emma for a makeover and photo shoot. We had so much fun doing it. I've normally been very anti having my picture taken but just recently I've started to find my confidence in who I am. We had so much fun as did the photographer that he ended up taking over 200 photo's of us!!!! This year being the year for the Olympics, the Queens jubilee I just has to have pictures with the union jack. 

Me n my 'lil sis' Em

I'm a very big kid at heart and whilst out shopping with my mum we were trying to work out what treat we were going to have with our coffee when we got back to my mums for our regular craft get together. I saw a gingerbread gold medal with the ribbon and decided I wanted that. Typical me when I got back to my mum's I couldn't eat it till the obligatory photo was taken of me pretending to check it was gold!!!!! Well it just had to be done I dare anyone to say they wouldn't have been sorely tempted to act like a big kid and do the same thing lol. At the moment in between various jobs I'm thoroughly enjoying the Para Olympics, so far the competitors have been an absolute joy to watch. This morning I was watching the men's 1500 metres the first heat saw a lovely gentleman Omar Hassan Houssein run. Although he came in last place he showed real determination to finish the competition. Even with the other runners out lapping him he still manged to finish the race when I'm sure many able bodied people would give up. He really made me smile and the crowd were so wonderful standing up and giving him a standing ovation and encouraging him on to the finish.
