Artist in a making?

My budding little artist!!!!


Deep breath!!!O.k I'm all for letting the Angels creative side come out but I think this is a step too far!Who would think that this little Angel was such an artist:) Doesn't she look just so sweet with her new peppa pig umbrella and new wellies,oh and not forgetting the beret which she used to wear at 6 mths:) Are you ready look what the budding Picasso did to her brothers wall with oil based pastels and newly painted wall;0




Thank goodness it wasn't all over his prized possessions!What could I say?Yep let her creative side come out,come out think she went a step too far coming out hehe!

As I was cooking tea last night she asked for a cloth,thought nothing of it as she does like to help mummy,went in the living room just to check and she had found Angel 4's red arilyc tube of paint!She had a big grin on her face!At this point Angel 4 was walking through the door from college,she was the one who had the telling off:)Kids!!!
But they do make my heart melt,
Thanks for listening and hope you are all having a cheery morning,Beckyx

Mr Postie rocks and my mum is a gem:)

Good morning my dears,are you all sitting comfortably,that's it pull up a chair,anyone for a pot of Yorkshire tea,maybe a coffee,hot chocolate,herbal tea,or maybe a barley cup or a nice cold drink.What's your favourite beverage?Oh yes how observant of you I have baked a cake too,slice anyone?It is a Madeira cake next time I think I'll put chocolate drops in!There that's better,feel refreshed now.I should really cut down on the amount of tea drinking I do,but hey it's damp outside:) Well Mr Postie knocked on my door,urm wasn't expecting anything no not from Amazon or Folksy or Misi etc etc hehe.Look what came,I know you're dying to know!!A bag,yep a big bag,with my mum's writing on the brown paper,do you want to look inside?Angel 5 thought it was Christmas,mind you so did I.I was on the phone the other day saying how I needed to get a coat for Angel 5 and p.j's for Angel 4 and that's what was in part of the parcel along with these beautiesAll from Matalan,what a kind mummy I have but folks that's not all look at thisA coat for ME,it is a sage green/army type green and feels lovely the older Angels say it suits me,it feels very snugly, I just couldn't believe how thoughtful and kind my mum has been,when I phoned she said "it had £10 off if I got it next week but I know it has got colder and you haven't got a proper coat"bless!!!I will save it for my trip to Yorkshire!On Saturday my two older Angels came with me to a vintage market,Angel 3 bought this lovely 1950's bag and a beautiful dress,but for some reason she can not upload any pics on her blog the whole set up has changed if anyone can help I would be most grateful.We had a nice time and I loved mooching amongst the records now both Angels want a record player and one one theseI do love my Angels even their teenage tantrums but don't tell them that:)
That's it for now my lovelies,have a good day
Blessings all round Beckyx

A mouse in the house,but it won't get my bargains!!!

Well my lovelies we have a mouse in the house of Angels,it is a very clever sneaky little mouse and doesn't give much away in trails.Let me explain,Angel5 and I had been busy making a cake for Daddy Angel's Birthday,we put the cake to the side and let it cool.Time then for a bit of peppa pig,hehe.After going back into the kitchen this is what I found!



Yes it is a big mouse you are all right,and a tidy worker or nibbler should I say!No evidence on Angel 5,mouth clean no munching no grinning,so it must be a mouse!!!Well what I forgot to say was that I had left the chair that my little Angel had stood on by the cake yep mouse's work was a lot easier he he!!!Here is mouse:)

My beautiful mischievous little girl here with her brother who is pulling rather a funny face!What could I say?I laughed so much it hurt:) All she said was "yaya(what she calls herself) did it!" made my day!Mice like this I can cope with any time!Now onto my bargains,as you can imagine my little Angel really dislikes shopping but sometimes tolerates Acorns the charity shop by me,this is what we found waiting for us with my name on them:)



All these lovely things came to under £10,the two mugs were from Tesco they were £1.50 each but when I got home they only charged me for one,the top still had label on "Tu" from Sainsburys,the crochet blanket will go beautifully in our disability short stay bedroom(I'm trying to make it feel child like but with a seaside feel too),Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picoult,I haven't read any of her books so can't wait to see if she is my kid of author!"Can you see a little bear" by James Mayhew and Jackie Morris is just beautifully illustrated and takes you on a journey through a series of ultra colourful settings in different countries using lush exotic watercolours and rhyming text
I was going to show you some of the lovely pages but for some reason all the pictures are loading upside down so I won't subject you to twisting your heads at this late hour,hehe!
Good night peeps

Do you believe in Fairies?

My Love of Fairies
Do any of you believe in fairies,or did you ever go on fairy hunts when you were little or maybe still do believe in them now?Well below is my Angel 5 dressed in her fairy wings having a cup of tea.Oh dear her poor wings look a bit battered but Angel 5 does do so much flying,in fact she doesn't stop!So I think I need to leave her wings for the fairies to maybe mend in the evening when they may have some free time:)


And here she is my beautiful and very special Angel having her morning tea,on Nov 24th we have our first court hearing one which we don't attend and fingers crossed after that it will be her naming day when she legally becomes OUR angel!It has been a roller coaster for the last 2 1/2 years but as they say there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we are nearly at the end:)



Fairies,well have any of you watched Fairytale the film based on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle finding two girls Elsie and Frances who claimed they had evidence that they had seen fairies,it is the most beautiful film ever for all ages and my Angel3 (now 16) still talks fondly of it.I bought her this book many years ago and found it lurking among the depths of clean/dirty washing in her room,so I though I 'd share it with you all.

The actress Pheobe Nichols whom I used to stay her house when I lived in London as my friend was a nanny to her children played Mrs Gardner the Mum,and I remember even before the film was made she had fairies of different kinds dotted around her London home.I felt very uplifted finding the book and have now ordered the dvd as the video died it's death and can not wait to watch it again.I am no artist by any means how I got a B in G.C.S.E I will never know but I feel the urge to try just try and every time I visit beautiful Kazzy's wonderful blog I long to be able to draw and create talented pieces of loveliness like Kazzy so my lovely readers watch this space,maybe just maybe I will show you a drawing one day!Unless of course the fairies get hold of it first!!!



And this is my other beautiful Angel,Angel 3 of the Angel house,she has a blog called shoutaboutart she has just moved back from Wales and is finding life at College where that have made her choose subjects she doesn't want to do because of cut backs!!World gone crazy what has happened to the right of children?!


Her brother Angel 1 told her (after watching the film and loving the whole fairy thing) that the story was a hoax her whole world fell apart she must of been 6-7 at the time and her brother 8-9 what a cruel thing she has never forgiven him for that but as I keep telling her if you stop believing the magic disappears and we don't want that now do we?She did get her revenge back back throwing a Wallace and Grommit (was his favourite film too)video at him and split his head open!Ah siblings the joy of each and every one of the 5 we have!!!

Both Harriet and I have just received our advent swap partners names from lovely Lynda's blog and we are very excited,so again much for me to blog about:)

Well folks thank you for reading my ramble for today,tomorrow I will show you some bargain finds and tell you about mouse!
Gentle Blessings to you all

Reasons to be cheerful,and a fun advent swap!

Where have I been?Well I won't ramble on about being a bad or rather forgetful blogger,I'll just say sorry!

!Reasons to be cheerful,oh my well,we have been given the first hearing for the adoption for our Angel and it is in November!We don't attend,and birth Mum has until a date in October to shout up about it.Angel 5 is most funniest most determined little angel I have ever known and she is a natural survivor and I love her with my whole heart!

She is at play school this morning for 2 hours and loves it,she doesn't even look back but always says"mummy coming back later",my heart melts.We had to stand up to what we believed was right for her even from 4 days old when I held her in my arms,we had a fight on our hands with the authorities but after many hurdles it is nearly over.(I was going to put up some pictures but because I haven't a clue what I'm doing I have lost them,grrrr!)
I will battle on with finding the missing pictures and tell you about "The coming of the Fairies" later!
Oh nearly forgot my friend Lynda (couldn't link it as it kept underlining whole of my writing,oh dear bear with me he he!!!)she is doing an advent swap and we all get a partner to swap little things with to open each day leading up to Christmas,it is a lovely idea and for someone like me who wants to make things but finds it hard then it will be searching for things,any way pop over to her lovely blog and get your name down.
Well my lovelies I'm off to collect my Angel and then tonight find the photos for you to see
love& light to you all,
