Thursday

Where, in the name of the wee man, is all this water coming from??? surely the oceans have run dry!

Rain rain go away, come again another day.

I have had so much excitement today that I'm just knackered now. First I popped over to my famous crafty chum, Kath's place this morning and met the very handsome Buddy the hooligan - he's not really a hooligan, but he was very determined to try and sit on my knee lol And I got the tour of the new improved cubby hole - wow!! I think I'll have to throw out some of my kids soon, I want one just the same. And as always its great to catch up with all the gossip with Kath, as we say up here, she's a rare quine.

And this afternoon there was more excitement, after the kids all came out of school I drove us all up to Mintlaw, which took 80 minutes in the pouring rain. And went to see this thingy I mentioned yesterday. I'm still not telling you what it is, I'll just have to keep you in suspenders. But I was over the moon with it and have put down a deposit and will be back on the 19th to pay for it and take it home.

So now, I so need to go veg. I have actually made a few cards that I planned to share with you tonight but I don't even have the energy to photoshop the watermark.

Wednesday

well, not much to report today, just been chauffeuring everyone around, kids to school, Graham to and from a course on Market street - argh!! 

And in between times, I made a few cards - unfortunately the light has been carp and I haven't managed to take any pics yet, but I'm hoping to buy a photo-tent so that it doesn't matter what the weathers like. If anyone has any recommendations I'd love some feedback

Well tomorrow is another busy day, the plasterer is returning to plaster Scott's room, I'm hopefully off to see Kath's new crafty room, and then after we pick the kids up from school we're off to Mintlaw to see something I have wanted to buy for years - all will be revealed soon. ;)

Passion for Promarkers #15 - Glittery & Girly - Any Colour

Week 15 already, where does the time go eh? Well seeing as all the DT have done their colour challenge weeks and we are back round to the fabulous Caryn's turn again, its all change over at Passion for Promarkers.

We have 2 new guest designers joining the team for the next 4 weeks, Caroline and Sarah B. So a huge welcome to both talented ladies and I'm sure you're going to love their fabulous designs.

This week Caryn has chosen a theme - Glittery and Girly, and you can use ANY colour of promarkers. We want to see more of you entering PfP, so when its a regular DT's challenge week you will be able to use any colour or colours of promarkers.

This week we have a fabulous prize from Secret Crafter, you could win 6 promarkers of your choice.

So here's my take on Glittery & Girly.
