Exciting week

Another week has gone by time for a catch up. As I said in my last post mum & I were doing a carboot on Sunday, we had a really good morning and made £82!! For all the Skelly fans he went to a good home, hes going to be in a teenagers room somewhere.

On Tuesday I had an interview for a shop in town called Teatree Bay selling surfer, skate wear like Roxy, Quicksilver and Animal, very similar to what I sold when I worked in Mayhem a couple of years ago. Well the good news is... I got it!! Its 21hrs a week which is better than nothing. I had my first day yesterday and I came home with my head spinning, everything will sink in eventually I hope!

Today I managed to pick myself up a bargain from the shop where my mum works. The box below will come in handy for storing some crafty bits, I havnt decided what yet, and cost the princely sum of... £1!!


I've also done some scrapping today. This Lo is for this months Twilight Addicts challenge set by Judith. The challenge followed the wedding saying "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue". For old I used some letters I brought when I first started scrapping; something new is the Bo Bunny diecut paper; something borrowed (something we dont associate with scrapping) shells from Shell Island; something blue my cardstock. Photo is of Ian fishing off Barmouth Harbour just before he caught an eel!

Sizzling Saturday

Phew its a hot one today, one of those days when its too hot to do anything. Saying that I have managed to make some cards. I had a pack of Papermania flower shaped cards hanging around so decided to have some fun decorating them, I'm not the best at cutting put but have to say they've come out ok.



These are my favourite ones, I love the bright colours and the dolls are so cute. I might save one for my aunties birthday next year as she collects Kimmi dolls which are v similar to these


Tomorrow mum and I are having another go at having a carboot, we tried to have one last week but after packing the car up and heading out we got to my old school to find a tiny note saying it had been cancelled! So tomorrow we'll be going to the footie ground to one which is on every week. This picture is what the spare room has looked like since last week, hands up who wants my brothers old skeleton cd stacker!

Vintage Vogue covers

I was having a browse through the internet the other day and came across these covers from old issues of Vogue its a shame covers arent still like this really

Twit Towoo or something like that!

I was trying to be clever with the title but I dont think its worked has anyone got an owl dictionary!

I was trying to organise my magazines the other day and found a load of free papers from various mags which I havnt used. A few months ago I said I would use free papers to make cards for the Cancer Research Craft for Life so I've obviously been slacking! The cards below have been made with some Polka Doodles papers, the title will make sense now! I've not used coloured card for my base cards before so this is a first for me!
