Noise from the pub next door was dreadful,our room was next to the lift which did a lot of groaning and when the wildlife in the room started to appear well enough is enough so we complained at 12.30 and told them we would rather sleep in our car than stay in that room  and we left at 12.45am what to do now......We where both so disappointed as you can imagine but fear not Alex had a "Plan"....&lt;br /&gt;A trip to the complete opposite side of the country to a special place that takes your breath away with the most stunning scenery "Glen Dall"{sorry if i spelt it wrong} up by the Angus Glens we used to go hillwalking there before my back started to play up.&lt;br /&gt;After a lot of driving we arrived just after 3am and we sat in the car and it was bliss as we waited alone except for the odd deer,rabbits and pheasants,lol, on the sun coming up, so  yes maybe it was not quite how we envisioned our weekend away but i was still with Alex and enjoying some of the most stunning views so i guess you can say i will not forget my 40th in a hurry.&lt;br /&gt;hugs&lt;br /&gt;Tracy&lt;br /&gt;xxx&lt;br /&gt;P.S&lt;br /&gt;Thankyou one and all for the lovely comments and  birthday wishes.&lt;br /&gt;Thank you to my new followers as well,thank you for linking to me and big hugs too.&lt;br /&gt;xxx&lt;br /&gt;xxx&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5493652964875192896-8991037110514679148?l=queeniesscrapmad.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://queeniesscrapmad.blogspot.com/feeds/8991037110514679148/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5493652964875192896&amp;postID=8991037110514679148' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5493652964875192896/posts/default/8991037110514679148'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5493652964875192896/posts/default/8991037110514679148'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://queeniesscrapmad.blogspot.com/2009/08/my-weekend-awaywarts-and-alllol.html' title='My Weekend away......warts and all,lol.....'/><author><name>Queenie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13188759543911670076</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='07474664966817501367'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5493652964875192896.post-520505653591677773</id><published>2009-08-10T09:32:00.004+01:00</published><updated>2009-08-10T12:24:57.614+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Creative Inspirations challenge15.....Tags....</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_BhTIczLe_TI/Sn2Dk5lepdI/AAAAAAAABDk/_NLim8eB428/s1600-h/tag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

run wild and happy crafting!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Prize for this challenge is 30 yep 30 12x12 papers so go get crafting and check it out over at the &lt;a href="http://creativeinspirationschallenge.blogspot.com/"&gt;Creative inspirations challenge blog&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What with having a pup in the house and work i dont have much time at the moment for my blog or crafting but am managing {just,lol}to keep up with my commitment to the DT soooooo what was i going to make hmmm?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Welcome to...."Home to Roost" a birdbox that Alex has had a sitting about outside waiting to go up...so i snaffled it and with the help of some Basic grey papers and bits and bobs and Rosie getting in the way grabbing rolls of tape,ribbons and buttons and me chasing her i finally managed to alter it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I like how it turned out but my pictures don`t do it justice as it was dull and raining at the time so will try and get round to taking more...if it ever stops raining that is,lol.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well thank you for looking and hope you like it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;hugs from
