Here's what it looked like at 9am this morning at the stables


- thick fog!!


Managed this lovely photo while we were waiting for Antoinette to bring in Molly from the field! I love it!

MOLLY'S BACK!!!!

Well, after a tense couple of days, Molly is now back at Nelson Park Riding Stables!

We are now oficially poor and will be forever, but it's worth it to have helped save this lovely animal!

We actually went down to see Molly and her owner Pat on Monday. The stables is like some little old Victorian place - sort of thing you'd see in the old Black Beauty progs!!! It was all a bit odd, as the owner there was VERY defensive, and didn't want to accept at all that any of Molly's probs are anything to do with her or her stables!!!!

Molly was so pleased to see us, esp. Antoinette - the excitement was obvious!

All the stuff we'd heard about bad backs, kicking down stable doors - not just the door but the whole surround too! Hating other horses so much and kicking out all the time; we'd been wondering what on earth we were going to see! But she just looked like Molly! A very sad and stressed Molly it has to be said though.

The staff wouldn't let anyone ride her, not even her owner!

She also had thrush in her rear feet. Our stable owner advises that that's really only caught by too much standing in the acidity of urine/faeces and not having the hooves picked out - which ties up with what Molly's owner says, that the staff wouldn't even pick out her feet. So sad.

They took Molly out of her stable and lunged her and she looked fine! She accepted the saddle with no probs at all (we'd been told she was unrideable!).

Back in her stable, we spent some more time with her, then mum and Pat started walking off to the car. As soon as Pat went, Molly's whole demeanour changed. Her ears went back, she'd turn her back on us, then turn round and nuzzle Antoinette with her ears forward again for a minute, then do exactly the same again. This happened several times, then we had to go. It was horrid leaving her knowing she was so unhappy.

(Mum actually picked up that Molly was much happier out of the stable...we were too busy just watching how she moved! We just found out from Pat yesterday, that just before Molly went to the new stables, the stable owner's horse had actually been ill and then died - was put down - in that stable. That could explain a lot if Molly was picking that up!)

Anyway, the vets didn't manage to comunicate on Monday, so we spent another whole day on Tuesday waiting for a 'phone call. Finally on Tuesday evening Pat texted to say Molly was coming home on Wednesday!!

We were on our way down to Sussex by 7am Tuesday morning! When we got there, Molly had just been loaded! She was so good that she had just walked straight on!!! She doesn't like the horse box by any means, but I'm guessing she felt anything was better than staying where she was!!

So by lunchtime she was back! She was turned out into the big cross-country field. She didn't rush off to have a big gallop as we'd expected she would...where she'd been the field she was turned out into would have been barely big enough for a canter, and was all up and down and on the side of a hill!

After an hour or so, she was taken into the outdoor school, having been groomed and tacked up, and a senior member of staff got on her - nothing happened! No probs at all!!! She walked her around, trotted, cantered...one little buck which was to sort out her legs, not to get the rider off! Then she even tried jumping her over some little 2' jumps - Molly jumped hUUUUUge!!! She was a little hesitant over the jumps, but as nobody had ridden her for about 9 weeks, and I'm guessing even then she wasn't jumped, that's not surprising!! Her back legs look a little stiff, but again, that's not surprising!

She's obviously pretty unfit now! We weren't expecting to be able to ride her for 2 weeks or so, but they said Antoinette could ride her if she came up today! So we all went up; Antoinette went to get her out of the field she was in, groomed her, tacked her up. Then a staff member rode her again just to make sure she was still behaving (she was!) so then Antoinette got on!!

Perfect! Her back legs do look stiff, and I was a bit worried as the foot with the worst thrush in wasn't picking up as much as the other, so they will check that in canter tomorrow. Today the big tractor was taking all the massive bales of hay down the yard and to the barn, and Molly hated that thing when she was here before! That hasn't changed, but even though she was obviously very frightened, she behaved really very well! Antoinette reassured her, and she coped! No kicking or anything!

The main problem is she's not liking her back feet picked out. When the senior member of staff did it yesterday, she sad Molly was shaking as if she was really scared. Whether this is because of the thrush making the feet sore, or the way it's been done elsewhere, we don't know, but the staff will have to persevere with that, as it's a bit too much for Antoinette to be able to handle at the moment. She's just too strong putting her foot down for Antoinette!!

So, although we're obviously going to be starting a new relationship with pasta and baked potatoes, lol, as we will be officially poor forever now, it's totally worth it to have helped Molly!

Now I'm trying to catch up with all my CT work! I've been unable to sleep, eat, concentrate this last week or so, and have felt almost permanently sick!! Hopefully things will get back to normal again now!!

I'll be back tomorrow with details of a new kit from Lauren of Rustic Charm Creations - and don't forget her Speed Scrap at Scrap It Sassy tomorrow!!

Still here...Just!!!!

OMW! What a day we've had! Lots of dramatic new developments with Molly possibly, maybe coming back to our stables, depending on her state of health - lots of crossed fingers and prayers rising up for tomorrow - the vet from our stables is going to be speaking to Molly's vet in Sussex to try and understand exactly what is going on with her..hoping it's not as negative as the info we've been given so far. If it's not too bad, we'll be going down with staff from our stables on Wednesday, and if she behaves OK, she will be coming back with us!
Then the plan is that Pat will continue to own her; we will loan her and try to work with the stables in getting her back to the wonderful horse she used to be.
I can't believe that an animal could change so much in just 9 weeks! Am trying to send positiove vibes to Molly for good behaviour on Weds!!!!!

Anyway, after all that going on today, I've then been waiting and waiting for the result of Round 3 of the Last Scrapper Standing comp at Divine Digital - I GOT THROUGH!!!! Yay!!! Feeling much more positive now and looking forward to seeing the next challenge tomorrow!! Last week's threw me a bit when I first saw it and I wasn't at all enthusiastic about the LO until I'd started it - then when it was fnished, I LOVED it!!
It's very simple-LOOKING, but actually there are loads of layers of masks with certain elements clipped to them to give the appearance of...something! I'm not allowed to say what as it's an anonymous comp!!!! In a couple of weeks I'll be able to post all my LOs...I'm very proud of them! All this thinking for hours about a LO and taking hours to actually make it does actually produce some fantastic work - IMO of course, LOL!!!!

OK, so I'd just read the email saying 'Congrats you're through' so went to the forum to vote in the elimination thread (8 Los are chosen to be eliminated, then 2 are saved by member vote)...then a box popped up saying I'd got a private message! opened it, to see the first line saying 'You've been Booed'!!! Shock! I was thinking someone had said something nasty about me and someone was letting me know...all sorts of things, but as I don't really know many other people over there I thought it was unlikely!!!
So then I read the rest of the PM, and it's actually a gift of a little kit from Aimee (Girlboheme Studios)!! Apparently, she was 'Booed' by another designer and was carryig it on!

So! I have my blinkie - to the right!! - and it's in my sig. at DD. Now I just have to make a little something with the kit and forward it on to 10 people. At least I think that's the idea! Although it then says to encourage them to spread the treats and play along too...but I can't make up a kit, so can only make say a word art or cluster frame...but then what's anybody else going to do with that that can be passed on to someone else?!!!! Ah well, will have a go anyway! It's a lovely idea to RAK people something!

Now that that panic is over, I can have a little play!!

Wot? No LOs?!

Well I seem to have been stricken with sleeping sickness this evening! not sure if it's the colder weather, or normal Monday tiredness, but I've decided to give myself the evening off anyway!

The good new? I got through to Round 3 of the Last Scrapper Standing comp. at Divine Digital!! Yay!! Well, that's what I thought till I saw this week's challenge!!! Seriously though, the challenges have been REAL challenges, but it's actually been great to take so much time of a LO and really have to think about what's going into it!!

Anyway, for those who are interested, here's this week's challenge. Play along for fun if you fancy being streeeeeeeeeeeeeetched!!

CT Los for Scrap It Sassy using Fall Madness by Scrappin' Page Designs



Here's the store link for this great kit! There are some gorgeous b/gs in here, not to mention the scrummy elements to - that owl is so cute! (Think I could be getting addicted to owls!!). There's a great variety of co-ordinating colours within the elements and papers, making this kit so easy to use!
Family News:
Next week it's Evie's Mass of enrolment for her First Holy Communion next year. I had to drop off a photo at Church for the big board that has pics of all the children taking part. When I saw the photo I took for this today, it struck me how grown-up Evie is looking now!! Especially as I found some photos from 4 years ago that I've started to scrap!! What a difference! Hence the first LO for today above!! That idea with framing the frame with flowers etc. came to me on holiday, inspired by an advert, and it's taken all this time for the perfect frame/photo combo to jump out at me!!!
I feel a bit better today but still have the cold - yuck! Evie seems much more herself today, and Antoinette just carried on with what she wants to do regardless!!!! She was given one of the newest horses at the stables for her lesson today and did very well. Worzel has a bit of a funny trot - his left leg has a very strange action when in trot! It kinda bends outwards and flips round rather than going up and down! It also makes him pull to the left a bit apparently and on the right rein makes it feel like the rider has the wrong diagonal! So although she rode with a stonking headache, Antoinette did really well with him!! Got him into canter nicely once she knew how he operates so to speak, and looked good riding him! I think she may be given him again next week!!
We have target planning with Antoinette's school next week on Tuesday. Antoinette wants us to ask about taking her Geography GCSE early! She seems very inspired at the moment, as does Evie! Long may it continue!!!
OK, X-factor calling!

CT Los for Scrap It Sassy using Harvest Glow by Eden Lane Designs


It's full of lovely colours and interesting elements...very versatile too! The little owls are just so cute!! Thanks for the use of a great kit!
Family News: Well, Andy and Antoinette have gone off to Aylesford to see the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux, but as I've got this horrid cold I've stayed here with Evie - I was a bit worried she wouldn't last the whole day after being ill last week. We've had a lovely day together, and are just about to gt into our PJs and watch Strictly Come Dancing!!

First up, here's the link to this scrummy kit at Divine Digital Ghoulicious kit by Girlboheme Studios available at Divine Digital http://divinedigital.com/boutique/product.php?productid=15073&cat=0&page=1
We're not big on hallowe'en in this house, but that really didn't matter with this kit! As you can see, I mde LOs completely unconnected with hallowe'en with it, and I was really pleased with everything in the kit, and how versatile it all is! The colours are absolutely gorgeous! of course there's more inside than I have used here, and you won't be disappointed! Of course, if you love hallowe'en, there's plenty more for you in there as well!!! All in all a fantastic kit that I would recomend to everybody, whether you want it for hallowe'en or not!!

What a weird week this has been! Antoinette was off school Monday and Tuesday with a cold; Evie was sent home form school Tuesday and is going back tomorrow.

CT Los for Candleworks Scraps using Tranquil Seas kit


It has various colours of b/g ranging from quite subtle to lovely and bright, and really interesting elements too. As you can see, it's so versatile, it's great for any sort of LO, whatever the theme! Thanks Deborah!
Bernie x
Family News: Antoinette now has a lovely cold! Thankfully the rest of us are OK - so far!
I've finished taking all my digi stash and LOs off the PC and putting them onto the new EHD - 30GB of digi stash alone! I am learning to resist a bargain though! My PSE5 is now working better for most things I want to do...just changing the size of anything and saving can take anything from 30 secs to about 5 mins though! not good! As I've freed up so many GB I thought it would play nicely now! I'm going to d/l a trial of the newly-released PSE8 I think and have a play in that, and if I like it I may treat myself!
Madly, I signed up for a comp. at Divine Digitals - Last Scrapper Standing. It wasn't because I think I've *any* chance of still being in at the end, lol, but more to see what I could learn. When I did the NKOTB comp. over at DSP, I really learned a lot, and picked up some hints and tips along the way that have def improved my scrapping. That said, now I've seen the first week's challenge - with no less than EIGHT requirements (!!!) - this really IS going to be a challenging time for me! Luckily I have a free day tomorrow so will prob try and do my LO then (sssssh don't tell anyone I'm free tomorrow or I soon won't be!!). Still, if nothing else it will stretch me, lol!!
The inversion table is back in the front room! We are all having a go, and I for one am def feeling the benefits!
Think that's about it for now! Evie is playing at her little friend Hayden's house till 6pm today, so I have a couple of extra hours in which to scrap!!
