Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

If you haven't gone to see this movie yet, GO!!!!!!!!! but go see it in 3d it's awesome. We went to the Imax in Tulsa to see it, its only 20 mins worth of 3d but it was so cool!!!!!! it felt like we were there!!!The whole movie is great,they did a good job, i know there is lots missing but honestly the movie would have been 12 hours long otherwise!!!!!! As usual Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson did their bang up job's, Luna was good and of course the fab Julie Walters and of course who could forget Gary Oldman, even though i knew what was going to happen i still went .........nooooooooooooooooooo. Great movie, get out there and see it.

I adore this picture..

I saw this picture on icanhascheezeburger.com,i fell in love with it, this little otter is the cutest little thing ever!!!!!!!!!!! look at that face, how can you not love it!!!!!! I love that website, it has the cutest cats and other animals on it.

Some birthday cards

Here are some cards i made for family members, the bottom one is for my stepdaughter,i made a torn bear and chalked it, did loads of dots to make them look like m&m's!! ( by the way i wasn't about to put a white M on all of those little dots!!!!!, i made the "jar" out of white and grey cardstock ( bazzill)Chalked that also,used some ribbon for the decoration on the jar and more ribbon on the top and bottom of the card.

The top one is a flower pot and rose petals,rose leaves and torn bear all out of handmade paper.Ribbon, chalking and paper piecing.Some stickles glitter and voila!!!!!!!! i had fun doing both of these cards. made the time fly by!!!

Another card......

This card is for a family member who is sick right now.

Some of the projects i have done in the last few weeks....

Birthday card for my friend, it took me 5 hours to do this!!!!! I kept having trouble with the paper and my cricut!!!!! I'm still not happy with it, but it's her b'day today so it's what shes getting hope she likes it!

My sister's 50th

My eldest Sister Julie in the middle in yellow

My sister Kelly on the left with her 2 daughters, Brooke and Casey

One of my sister's turned 50 this week,we hadn't spoken in 17 years and this February we reconnected. I moved to the states in 2000 so I had a lot of things to tell her and my other sister. They both live in Scotland with their families.It was so nice to talk to them both again, to talk to my nieces and nephew to see how they have done in all these years.I wasn't able to go to her party, that made me sad but i was there in spirit.The Internet is truly a wonderful thing, not only did i meet my wonderful husband on it but it helped me track down my family. I had been trying to find them for years, posting notes on websites etc.Then in February i managed to track them down via a website that hooks up school friends, i just keyed in my nieces name and there they were. I e.mailed not knowing if it was a dead e.mail or not, you know you put your name on these things and then you forget about them!!!!!!!Only luck was with me, this e.mail was alive and kicking and that night i connected with my Oldest sisters 2 grown kids!! the next day i was able to chat on line to both of them!!! they couldn't believe it, they had all sorts of questions as did i. I also called my Brother who lives in England and told him i had tracked them down, so when he got his computer we all had a decent natter as we say back home.It's just been amazing, i know there are a lot of people out there that say the internet is a bad thing, but for me it was a truly wonderful thing to have.It has given me a lot of joy and i for one am glad it's around.

Probably sinful!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok this is TOTALLY sinful!!!!!!!!!!!! i made this using a golden butter cake mix, when it was baked i let it cool then put one layer face down and covered it with strawberry jam, and a layer of coolwhip then a layer of sliced strawberries.I then put the second cake layer on then topped that with coolwhip and more sliced Strawberries.Then i melted some Dove milk chocolate squares and drizzled that over the top!!!!!!!! Oh my HEAVEN!!!!!!!!!!!!
