Bellas mothers day picture for me.

Tristan has drawn this fab monster.

Tristan and Bella have been hard at work providing me with some new pics.

Thease pics have been drawn with pen, scanned in to the computer and enhanced in GIMP which is an open source image manipulator. Mostly it just nvolved fideling with the contrast untill the background has become white instead of the grainy colour that sometimes appears after scanning.

We then checked that there were no breaks in the lines to enable the childen to fill the block with a colour that they want.

Welcome to my site. It is based on a wordpress application, with the addition of eBay, pup exec, JavaScript and CSS plug-in to allow me to display additional code. The skin is based on 2010Weaver but with changes to the CSS.

My storytelling website has been built from scratch in notepad as one of my assignments.

I have added my chat bot to the site in the last few days it can be found here.

I have also been working on adding some Down’s syndrome support group information to a google map. So far I have set up a SQL database to provide the data and used a Google API to display the information. Still to come is displaying the information on a table a form for people to submit their own support groups.

I have allready had images put cards which i hope to be made avaliable on ebay shortly.

I have had them printed through Vista Print. After the initial order you get loads of ‘special offer’ email sent through. At first i found it really annoying but when i need something they are very usefull. I got 30 of thease cards made up for £10. It would have been cheaper but i put a little picture of Bella on the back which cose extra.

I am hoping to sell some at craft fairs but I have allready used then for friends and family. They have all said how fab and professional looking they are.

Bella has done another picture of a rabbit and mouse.

Bellas Mouse and Rabit

But the mirrors that I have made with the cath kidston print are selling very well on ebay and at craft fairs.

Inspired by the weather I have made some hand warmers with the fabric. Thease should be on ebay soon. Go to my shop page for a direct link through.

My isabella has brought home some fantastic pictures so I am going to get some printed as notelets. Even if I do not sell any I will use it.

My favorite two are below I think thay would make very good note cards.

this is my bellas drawing

Ikea had on offer where both were reduced to £149 then we could take advantage of the 3 for the price of 2.

We got a free hob which we are going to sell on ebay. In total £600 for £300. BARGAIN

The first garage quoted £575, usually we would accept whatever they said. But this was over what we could afford to we got a seccond quote over the phone from a different garage of £505.

The origional garage then reduced its price to £470.

A saving of £105 just by getting a second quote. We have never bothered doing this befor but will deffinately be doing it in the future.

But it was fab and well worth the driving. We had a red armband for bella and white ones for the rest of the dfamily so we got to skip the ques to go on the rides so that she did not have to wait in a que. It made the day really enjoyable, usually bella would not wait very patiently and we would have all been very stressed out.

The ride attendants were all really helpfull aswell.
