Here comes the bride!!

Well our Natalie has gone and done it married Aaron O'Neil on 4th August 2018 at the Pendlebarn in Barrowford. 
The wedding breakfast and evening party were at the Masonic Hall In Rawtenstall.
We had an absolutely wonderful day and Natalie looked amazing.  
My son Andrew and grandson Jack were Usher and Pageboy respectively.  One of their jobs on the day was to ensure everyone was sat in their places on the vintage bus that took us to the wedding ceremony venue.  
Our very own 'Peaky Blinders!'

The family scrubs up really well.

Cuban days and nights

Well had a fabulous time in Cuba with my family: Steve my husband, Andrew my son, Becca his partner and Jack our grandson.
We stayed on Cayo Guillermo, at the Iberostar Cayo Guillermo resort.   The hotel was lovely, well kept and clean.  The pools were large and the sea was breathtaking.
Boardwalk to beach side cabanas

I'm sure Jack is part dolphin!

The food was ok, if you ever been to Cuba you will know that it would hardly be classed as gourmet but there was always something that you could eat.  Though I would have to say that the the Japanese speciality restaurant surpassed our expectations, the food was cooked fresh at the table, 

Teppanyaki style.

Mammy and Jack Lobby Bar

The cigar lounge was a must as the cocktails in here were just amazing.   

Expresso Martini - shaken not stirred

Crinkly Apple

Little gap!
We had a milestone moment with our Jack as he lost his first tooth whilst we were there, so the tooth fairy had to come all the way to Cuba.

Patch work elephants! Have you been drinking, LOL!



Hi all my crafty friends I’ve been busy again in Crafty Chaos HQ making The Patchwork Elephant Shaped Card.  You can watch the You Tube video here:
I hope that you enjoy the tutorial on how to make the file and I think he is just too cute! 
He will also be useful as a scrapbook embellishment or as a tag for a baby gift.  




If you would like a free copy of the file you can download the FCM here and SVG here








Please do not distribute or sell my files as either a bundle or individually.
Direct your friends to download rather than copying.  Thanks! 😘

I will be releasing the next new videos soon, make sure you keep an eye out or better still set the bell to alert you when new videos are uploaded.
Bye for now and keep crafting! xx
