Creative Scrappers #66

This weeks sketch was just begging for me to use my Starbucks cards - i mean look at all those little rectangles ready for them!! Also do you know how long it took me to work out what letters i had enough off to do the words! That was a toughie as you can guarantee i would be halfway through a word in one style of letter only to find i didnt have any E's or A's etc!! LOL
Heres my take on the sketch, Caramel Coffee Frappachino with Cream - nuff said! YUMM!!
Papertrey order turned up this morning so the parcels are on their way out to the girls today - lots of excited grabbing of parcels from postie tomorrow i hope! :D :D
Do you want me to do this each month? I place an order each month anyway so dont mind popping in for anyone else in the UK - just let me know what you want when the sneak peeks go live so that i can get the paypal funds in time to order on release night :)

Just another manic monday....

Non stop again, this weekend we have managed to fit in visiting my mum, going to the beach, the arcades, visiting Stuarts mum (shes not to bad, in pain but looking better than we thought thankfully), laying flooring (free from Freecycle!) in the bathroom, gutting the boys bedroom after visiting the Carbootsale and buying up enough WWE wrestlers to cover the floor (their own money so hey im not complaining!) and finishing up 2 more layouts and one project for design teams and magazines! Ooh and a late night friday crop too, finished reading True Murder and started the Twilight books .........yep im almost running on empty!! lol

Anyways, while the boys recreate the WWE championships (heres a selection of them - dont focus on the semi nakedness, well unless its John Cena or Randy Orton - go search on google and try not to drool!!).... im going to go make some more goodies for me - ive one more DT project on the go and then its just doing somethings for me....must catch up on some of the sketch sites :)

Crop night...

Im busy packing for the crop tonight and i dont have a clue what to take.......no seriously! I can always guarantee that when i dont take something, its the one thing i will need and when i take everything and the kitchen sink i dont make a darn thing anyway! LOL Hmmm what to take?? What do you take to your crops?? Do you make up kits of pages you know youre going to make or do you just pack it all and wing it??

Heres a sneak of a couple of projects ive been working on - one is for an upcoming spot on the Pencil lines design team and another is for the Daily Inspiration over at ScrapbookMate :)

Have a good weekend and i will try to update but we are going to mums tomorrow (to see Ben) and call in to Stuarts mums as shes had a fall and broken her elbow and foot!! EEK!! Get well soon Sue if you see this xxx

Creative Zone!

Im rather comfy in my creative zone right now so please can the powers that dictate my life please just let me play for a little while .......... something always seems to crop up when im finding my mojo so please just let me enjoy....even for a little while?! lol
This is my take on the Creative Scrappers Sketch this week, isnt it such a fab concept - i love the whole sketch and im sure you will too if you have a play along :)
Pooh sticks for those that dont know (i dont think theres anyone out there who hasnt heard of Pooh bear but anyways..) Pooh Sticks is when you drop your stick one side of the bridge and run to the otherside to see whos stick comes out first :)
Another layout to share! Last weeks Pencil Lines sketch #147........sorry im late (i have done this weeks too which is the card below!) lol Lots of Websters papers, pearls and ink - and i do love my Martha edging punch (as if you couldnt have guessed!) ;)
Pencil lines # 148 - a simple Thinking of you kinda card :) Thanks for the sketch girls xxx
Ok, the garden.....its getting worse not better but i know its a process - a long process at that!! Anyways look what i found in the garden today!
To finish off todays post i am going to post a pic of Jakes ear now the plasters are off. It is now just waiting for the last bits to fall off (blurgh sorry) and see if its completely healed underneath (can you see where we have been hacking at his hair to get the sticky plasters out without hurting him - hair grows back so no big loss!!) lolA little story while i was in the hospital - you know when some things are just meant to be, coincidence, fate, whatever??
Well, my Little gifts of Kindness calender is going to get me in trouble one of these days, heres what happened......

Todays said 'say something nice to a pregnant lady' - im sorry but when someone told me i was glowing, my hormones took that to mean i was fat! Eek!!

So, coincidence or not i had to take Jake back to hospital today so i bought a box of roses and accosted the first preggers lady i saw....

'Excuse me i know this is going to sound strange but can i give you these - the calender page is there to show you im not a complete wierdo!' *blush*

I think she was too shocked to speak but her hubby was lovely and kept saying wow and thank you :) :)

*sigh* that was a good feeling! xxx

Woodchip arrgghh!!

Remember this song......

Oh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small,
With woodchip on the wall.
When i came around to call,
You didn't notice me at all.

By Pulp.

Well right now i dont think i would even notice a flippin hurricane rushing through the house!! I HATE WOODCHIP!!! Its driving me nuts to the point of tomorrow im phoning the council to see if they have someone to remove it - or if they have any idea how i can remove it without losing any more nails!

ARGGHHHHHH!!!

I need chocolate.........mmmmmm thats better - ok so this wasnt from today but the thought of it brought back a smile! :D

What a palava!!

Ok, new cable attached but its keep cutting out which means the battery isnt charging! grrrrrr!!

Anyways, while ive had some down time i have been stripping the hallway (woodchip!!) and shopping for bargains! Cath Kidston-esque wallpaper for £5 a roll at Focus! Bargain! :) Cant wait to have the hallway done - white wood panelling on the bottom and blue which pink,cream roses on the top.....i pinched this picture from Posy's blog as its exactly what im aiming for.......hope thats ok (the pinching of the pic, not my taste in decor!!) lol :)
I have also rearranged my craft room and added a little more organisation in the form of the red containers and filing unit! Its so tidy but believe me it wont take long to be messed up! lol All goodies are from Ikea :)

I will finish with a layout which is the one i created for Twisted Sketches #10. I was asked to be a guest designer for this week and jumped at the chance - thanks Anam :) Go check out the blog for loads of inspiration each week!

Laptop trouble!!

My laptop eats through cables like something not right (ok so i know its not right and something is wrong and one of these days i will get a new laptop but right now the price of a cable is as far as i can manage!) LOL Hopefully it will be here tomorrow and all is well. Right now im on dhs laptop trying to update my sites and email anyone who is waiting info from me etc.............as well as pick up emails offering me free stuff to review their products (and i dont just mean viagra and willy enlargements!!) ;)

Yesterday we all headed out to the pics to see G Force and the kids loved it - what i loved most though was the fact they all behaved as though no one else was around for a change! They really let loose when i told them to behave like statues etc and everyone around thought they were great! It looks like i lost a boy and gained a girl, shes Holly, my niece :DI snapped loads of piccies and want to share a few quickly before dh kicks me off his computer!! lol

See you soon!!
