Ooh! Dainty...

You'll be glad to know that I made good use of Day 2 of the kids Half Term holiday yesterday! Not wanting them to be bored & restless I armed them with a collection of new toys, namely a Vacuum Cleaner, Duster, Polish & a Fluffy Thing on a Stick! Oh! What fun they had!

I took this opportunity to relax on my chaise longue & eat grapes whilst being fanned with a palm leaf!

Day 3 is just beginning...hmm...what to do?

My wee cardlet today was made with a stamp called Modesty from Penny Black. The flowers & leaves have been decoupaged & coloured with PM's & Stickles, the glittery butterflies are table confetti & the sentiment is a rub-on from Kaisercreaft.

It's Happened To Us All!!

I'm back - YAY!!!

So yesterdays "Day Trip" was a success...we left the Dentists with a "thumbs up" from the "nice lady"...but I think it was more to do with the fact I had saved her bacon.

The kids were seen first for their check-ups & came out with glowing reports, a sticker & a balloon each. This made me laugh as Sof's now 13 years old & Oliver's 10 going on 17!!! Whilst they sat in the waiting-room blowing up their new toys making rude - farty noises, I layed back on "the" chair and awaited my fate.

My hearing's rubbish & I was convinced the "nice lady" was asking me questions & I kept trying to answer with my mouth full of her hand!! So each time I came up for air, I had to ask her to repeat herself only to find out she was talking "dentist-speak" to her assistant. Then the dreaded words "you need an X-Ray" hit my deaf ears!

Off I trundled to what resembled a store-room next door, HUGE bits of plastic were wedged in my cheeks & my dentist made a quick exit before she was zapped with radiation. As she left I noticed her skirt was caught up in her knickers, I tried desperately to get her attention but it's almost impossible to breath let alone yell with yer gob full of dentistry equipment!!! So the door closed, I was alone & she was in the corridor of pateints!!! Upon her return I gave her the bad news (poor woman) and she then gave me good news (think that was pay-back) that my teeth were ok! PHEW!!

Are you still awake...?

Onto my card, this is another one to add to my SILs Xmas Gift Set. This is Melody in Love from Pollycraft coloured with ProMarkers & Stickles, the gorgeous autumnal paper is from my fav Basic Grey collection, Indian Summer, punched out mini-flowers with red gem centres.

Winter Wabbits!

BRRR!!! It's cold out today...but at least the sun's shining!

These Wabbits have got the right idea...snuggled down into a giant sock...I may have to get one of those single, giant boots that they try & sell to the elderly to pop their toesies into to keep warm whilst siiting in their armchairs. I nearly bought one for my MIl a couple of years ago but I had visions of her "hopping" in to the kitchen to make a cuppa still wearing "the" boot & wondering why I was too tight to buy one for "the other foot". It may have been worth it for comedy value...only joking!!!!

So these cosy Wabbits are from LOTV coloured with PM's, with 3d Glitter-paint sock fluff & punched holographic red snowflakes. mounted on to a Nellie Snellen oval framed backdrop.
