Ribbon :D

Just a quick blog as I can't sleep!

I've bought 310 yards of ribbon on eBay tonight!! :o

shocking!!

I can't even sleep because I'm so excited! I just need to order some more ribbon tags as I have a very pathetic ONE empty tag left!! Not acceptable!! Heehee!

I'm using loads of ribbon at the moment in my card making/scrapbooking tho so at least it's a justified purchase, almost! ;)

70s love!!

So tonight I've been to see trextasy! Oh how I wish I could have been late teens/early 20s in the early-mid 70s!! I'm jealous of my parents!!
My dad today announced that he is buying tickets for us all to go and see Steve harley & cockney rebel Christmas week so I'm very excited about that!!! Weve seen him twice before (my dad & myself) but it will be the first time my husband will have been, his interest in the glam comes from me im afraid so after seeing him enjoy the trex tribute, im interested to see how much he enjoys the real thing with steve harley! Come up and see me make me smileeeeeee!!! Haha! (I much prefer other tracks, but that's still a corker live!!!) best get my steeple tone out and snap crackle and pop with my vinyl in the run up! Rhianna first tho! ;) I'm so spoilt!! Haha!!

So after seeing (and being slightly disappointed with) britney last week, the only icon I can think that I would give my left leg to see is... Bowie

One day I shall be peg-legged (I hope!!)

Lonnnnng day!!

Well I've had a busy one, saw my mom & dad and an 1 1/2 hour FaceTime chat with Carly a bit of crafting, a bit of csi Miami, a mcflurry and peeking at this weeks entires over at charisma!! Phew! Almost time for beddiebyes but thought ild do a quick post first!

The little octopuses charm was an eBay bargain!! :) hope you like & can play along this week!!

Busy cat!

Oooh I've been a bad busy cat! I've had so much going on and it's gonna be a busy few weeks yet before I get a break, maybe, with working in retail and my holiday after christmas all I'll be busy straight through to mid feb!!

I've actually had the weekend off work (madness in retail!!) and went up to stoke for a lovely suprise family meal for my father in laws retirement on Saturday. Sunday was spent walking my dads dogs in the fresh autumn air and a nice 2 for 1 pub lunch :)

As I said busy busy as tomorrow im off to see Katy perry and britney spears on Sunday! I'm defiantly indulging my inner pop tart this week! ;) and then there's rhianna in nov!

Right now I'm off to charisma to check out this weeks entries for the embossing challenge 1 day left!!

Better go and peek before my husband gets home from work and moans I've not tidied up! Oops!

Random days!

Well just a quick note, I've spent the afternoon in Carly's craft room but no crafting! Shes been working on a card but im playing with The cats! I'm completely uninspired! I spent all weekend sorting & tidying & reorganising my craft room and I've got everything where I want it but now I'm not wanting to mess it up!! Typical!
Shes wittering on trying to convince me about smash* books but im not buying it!!! Lol
Anyways Here's a random pic of Carly's strudel cat... Awwww

Stitches!!

This weeks challenge over at charisma is stitches!! I don't have a sewing machine so I've gone for faux stitches, I got very impatient doing it tho! Lol!
I decided to kind of ghost colour this image, I wanted it to be a bit more subtle and try a different approach, I'm quite pleased with it actually!
I even used brown (not like me!) AND 2 papers!! What's wrong with me! I've only recently started layering papers for some reason I find it difficult, but it's getting easier! It's more the layout I struggle with rather than matching them, I haaaaate wonkyness!! Lol jaunty angles just don't really work for me, I'm forever straightening them! But that's something else altogether, 2 papers and brown is far enough out of my comfort zone for now ;) lol

Well I'm using my phone at work again, bad cat!! I'm so freaking bored tho!! And there's loads to be doing :( best get on with it 'spose... *sigh*
