Been A While

Been a While
So sorry things have stopped here since October but i have been really down since losing Mum to cancer in Feb last year and the closer it got to Christmas the more i withdrew from Online and Psp. Christmas was so hard buying presents for everyone but Mum and though we had a quiet Christmas here at home it was still strange knowing Mum wasn't there to celebrate with us. Dad bought us the most precious gift, well all the lassies in the family. When Mum passed the funeral home took a fingerprint of Mum's index finger and Dad got it made into a beautiful silver necklace for us. The pendant is in the shape of a tear on engraved on the back was a personal message from Mum. As we all opened our presents we sat and cried the four of us in awe as to the beautiful gift. In a way it made Christmas day a bit more bearable. My brother was heading down to Newcastle for Hogmanay and New Year so the girls and i decided we would head up to Aberdeen to be with Dad so that he wasn't alone. My niece was already there having spent Christmas with Dad and Chris but we wanted the house to be full of noise so it wouldn't be so bad on him. It turned out to be a good Hogmanay and New year, we played games talked about Mum and toasted her and others that have gone as the bells rang. We had lost Dad's best friend and my Uncle, Dad's brother during 2015 so it had really been a hard year for us all. Hayley my eldest daughter stayed at home as her partner was working and she was supposed to be helping out some people, plus she was looking after my dog while we were away. She came up on New years day with the grandbabies which my Dad was over the moon to see and of course my grandson loves his Great and couldn't stop cuddling him. Dad said it made his Christmas and New Year seeing all the family even for a couple of hours. 
Anyway i haven't touched Psp or come online properly till now and i think the break has done me the world of good as i feel ready to start creating again. 
Keep an eye on things as there will be some new templates, masks and Tutorials coming up.
Thanks for being so patience with me and a big thank you to all those that have helped me through all this.

Having a wee rant!!!

Sorry i am coming on here to have a major rant and i hope i don't upset people with this rant if so a big sorry to those whom i love and care about.
At the moment in America a video is going round of a nasty wee girl beating up on her so called friend, dragging her by the hair onto the asphalt and kicking utter shit out of this poor wee thing. 
What this girl did is despicable and she is being charged to the max for her actions over a stupid hoodie. 
Now here is where my rant begins. 
The mother of this girl put on facebook that if people had a problem with her daughter then to meet her at a place so she could 'kill them if needed'. I myself am a mother and would of done the same if people were threatening any of my kids with death, being beaten up badly etc. But what she did is called a spur of the moment madness. 
Now if this girl was any of my three daughters i would of blackened her ASS with my hand so she wouldn't be able to sit for a year never mind a day and i would of made her apologize for her actions. But this mother did none of this and well people can be dang cruel with their words and actions.
The mother and her daughter have been given death threats over the internet and facebook and when the cyber bullying is mentioned that person is a psycho schizophrenic or better yet in my case i am a crap mother because my arse of a husband walked out on my daughters and has no contact with them. 
Being divorced, separated etc does not make a bad person and anyone can go look at a persons' profile on FB and get the little average message that the person put up about themselves. 
I have had two people square me down because my Ex walked out and because i 'stuck up' for this mothers actions. 
The first one went onto my FB and got my details then proclaimed that my ex walked out to get someone smarter!!!! 
The second one put that one of the people trying to get through to people that what they are doing is cyber bullying is called a psycho schizophrenic for no other reason that what he is saying is true. I then asked this person if she was St J*de to which i got the first lot of abuse then she came on and followed on with the abuse about me being a single parent. 
OMG why do people do this is that the best they can do when they don't like what people are saying. This wee girl is only 22/23 and thinks she knows the world better than anyone and her mother taught her the difference between right and wrong as a single parent yet my own Children and those who know me know my kids weren't bought up right because my ex husband walked away. If that is the way her mother bought her up she must be so bloody proud because she can dis and threaten anyone that she doesn't like and slander them and thats ok coz she was bought up right!!!!
Hello if my kids ever threatened someone they didn't know wish them dead they are scum a CUNT and i use that word loosely as its my one pet hate word i would beat the crap out of them then make them retract what they have put on. 
THAT IS BEING A PARENT AND TEACHING YOUR CHILDREN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG AND IF THAT MAKES ME A BAD PARENT THEN SO BE IT MY KIDS HAVE NEVER BOUGHT TROUBLE TO MY DOOR THAT HASN'T BEEN DEALT WITH THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS. THEY DON'T TOUCH DRUGS ETC AND GO TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY. I THINK THAT MAKES ME A BETTER MOTHER AND I AM VERY PROUD OF HOW MY DAUGHTERS HAVE TURNED OUT.
ok rant over and again if i have offended anyone i apologize from the bottom of my heart i do not like to offend or preach to anyone without first preaching to myself
Hugs to all
