Back to black

Its that dreaded time of year for Suzy Suu...MOT!!! March is always an expensive month as I've just taxed her for another year then she has to go for her check up! I hate it, I drop her off in the morning and walk to work then at the end of the day trundle back praying that nothing has come up!

This is mainly due to Poochy my last car. I was cursed with that thing first crashing her whilst reversing onto the drive wrecking my passenger door, then scrapping the driverside of her pulling off the drive, not too mention the engine always losing power which nobody could find a cure for, then when she went for her yearly check up she'd always need welding doing underneath stupid flipping thing!

Luckily touch wood Suzy has been hassle free, so as a treat she's just been to the car wash to have a spruce up so she'll look shiny and black for the garage rather than dusty grey! Fingers crossed for tomorrow! xx

Twilight addicts mini cc class 1

Wednesday saw the start of the first mini cyber crop for the Twilight Addicts on Ukscrappers. Our first class was set by Racheal Elliott from the Sarahs Cards design team. From this I made this Lo using a mixture of Bo Bunny papers from different ranges but they seem to go together nicely. It was a fab class which gave me the chance to do some distressing which I think I need more practise at, who knew it was so hard to tear and distress paper! The photo was taken while we were sat in the queue for a Bon Jovi concert 2 years ago, I gave it the title Always as this was the last song they played and the first time they've played it in the 5 times I've been lucky enough to see them!

Camping & charity cards

Blimey where have the last few days gone! I've been busy sorting out our holidays and I'm pleased to say they are all booked and only one involves mountain biking! In April we are going to Yorkshire to watch the first round of the MTB World Cup at Dalby Forest. I was unsure when we originally decided this but after checking out the schedule it sounds fun, it is the cross country round where they race each other through the forest, lots of jumps, mud & falling off (so Ian says)! Then in June we were going to the MTB event at Fort William which I was not looking forward to, there is only so much mountain biking & mud a girl can take, but now we've decided to go back to Wales to the campsite we stayed at 2 years ago just outside Barmouth. Hehe I got my way!!

On Sunday I took mum to Asda in Corby but took a detour via Primark (big mistake) and came out £80 lighter! While we were there we popped into Wilkinson as mum has just had her bathroom decorated and wanted a few bits to finish it off. We came around the last aisle and we were in heaven, I did not know they sold a selection of Create & Craft bits!! I was very good though and only brought some toppers for £1 which I've teamed up with some free papers from a back issue of Scrapboook magazine to make these cards. I've popped them into a couple of the Craft for Life cellophane bags and taken them to Cancer Research for them to sell xx
