Catching Up with Scrapwest!!

It's been an absolute age since I've got any scrapping to talk of completed, so I was delighted to have my LO ready to submit to this weeks Scrapwest. The Theme was Sisters and this is my LO of Ríonnach and Cobhlaith using the gorgeous September Kit from Annamarie at www.thescrapbookstore.ie



The previous week the scrapwest theme (set by myself as it was the anniversary of the setting up of the first M&S store) was Shopping, and the week before that was Going Dotty (set by Jackie), so I think I managed to roll both into one LO!! I couldn't not take a photo (or 2, or 3, or 4 haha) of the wall of Crocs at Dublin Airport, they looked so colourful and so inviting - here they are -

If you go down to the woods today ..........

............ make sure it's to Bear Essentials in Cavan!! Annamaries August retreat there was the bizz.



It was on August 25 and I have just eventually completed the class LO using those yummy crate papers. Thank you Annamarie - I loved this class, here's my LO. The photos of Caoilte were taken in Ionad Cois Locha last sunday.



I'd love to get to the Halloween Retreat that Annamarie has organised for 20 October, but the drive is just too long as is the preceding ferry trip for this time of year, but I'm looking forward to returning to this location in Cavan soon.



These grapes were growing in the glass house just outside the crop room, as were the most delicious plums which we were invited to take with us and of course I forgot to pick before I left :(



Thank you for a great opportunity Annamarie and a great day out!!

Rothar Úr

Cheannaigh muid rothar úr do Ríonnach do breithlá s'aici.

8 Already!! - Well Almost :)

Beidh Ríonnach 8 Dé Domhnaigh, ach bhí an partaí aici inniú, siocar go mbeidh an Teach Pobail i dToraigh 150 bliain d'aois Dé Domhnaigh agus tá ceiliriú mór ar siúil i rith an lae Dé Domhnaigh do sin.

I can't believe that Ríonnach is 8 (well she will be on Sunday) already!!

Bainis Marie agus Danny

Pósadh mo chara Marie agus Danny i nDún Luiche ar an 3ú Lúnasa.


My friend Marie married her sweetheart Danny in the beautiful Church in Dunlewey on 3 August 2007. Here is a photo of the bridal party - don't they look great. Marie's dress and the bridesmaids dresses were made by the very talented Molly Harkin



The reception was in An Chuirt Hotel, Gweedore - another gorgeous setting.

What Colour Green Are You?

Okay, so I like the colour Green - no big surprise there!! But I always thought I'd be lime green - not so. Have a look here

You Are Teal Green

You are a one of a kind, original person. There's no one even close to being like you. Expressive and creative, you have a knack for making the impossible possible. While you are a bit offbeat, you don't scare people away with your quirks. Your warm personality nicely counteracts and strange habits you may have.

What Color Green Are You?

Just last week I was thinking that I'd paint the sitting room teal green this winter :)
