Not so Crafty

So, giving in to the kids requests to do some painting I set them up for a bit of creative time in the garden. A genius idea, I thought, as no mess in doors and as soon as the rain came it would wash away any stray paint. Winner. Or so I thought.

Cue toddler and within seconds, this happened.

The toddler gets his face painted. This is the very reason why I often find myself a bag of nerves at the mere mention of messy play or craft time.

HOLY CRAP I’ve been shortlisted for BiBs 2016 Fresh Voice

BiBs 2016 Fresh Voice
Well this ACTUALLY happened.
 BiBs 2016 Fresh Voice
I’ve only gone and got bloody shortlisted for a Brit Mums Brilliance in Blogging Fresh Voice Award 2016.
I could ramble on about how much this would mean to me and how grateful I would be for a vote but that’s obvious. For me I am just over the moon to have been shortlisted and to have my own special badge proudly displayed on my Blog……

(Look at that badge – I’m just proud that I figured out how to do stuff like this – 8 moths ago I didn’t have the foggiest. Go me!)

When I put myself out there for a vote, I never expected that this little blog of mine would be in with chance. I haven’t got a massive following  and with three kids constantly nipping at my ankles I never seem to have much time to blog and keep up with the crowd. I’m still getting worried by widgets, stressed by social media and trying not to turn into a ‘twatter’. So for now I’m chuffed to bits just to be shortlisted alongside some of the blogging greats who gave me immense comfort on some very bad days.

SOD THAT of course I want to win!

So if by any chance this Blog lightens up your day and makes you smile instead of cry then pop over to Brit Mums to vote or you can click on the badge above. I’m up for Fresh Voice and its the first category on the list – EASY PEASY
THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT HAVE MADE THIS POSSIBLE
