suffering withdrawal symptoms...


Good morning everyone I hope you all had a fantastic weekend...I'm seriously suffering from withdrawal symptoms from lack of blogging now and I had to stay up until 1am to get this posted, I'm missing my nightly blog hopping and its driving me nuts...if it isn't sorted out soon heads will roll...and it wont be mine lol...well Sunday here was so so quiet, the only thing we did was go to our local pound store and bought loads of cleaning stuff, I think I get this from my Mum, she was obsessive about things like having loads of toilet roll and kitchen roll and if she saw a bargain in them or cleaning things she would buy at least 6...she always said when I asked her why she did it it was 'just in case'...I never did find out when the just in case time was, but if the nuclear winter ever hit we were sorted for cleaning lol, I still miss my Mum's wicked sense of humour...right now my card for today is for the Bunny Zoe's Crafts DT...now how sweet are these two on their swing together...they are from the newest Whiff of Joy collection and are called Friends forever Nora & Ben, I coloured them with distress inks and used some of these amazingly coloured papers from the new Bo Bunny 6x6 paper pad called Vicki B, lush lush designs aren't they, I finished with a ribbon, some pearls and a gorgeous Prima flower...the fab sketch is from The Sweet Stop challenge and I'm also entering these for the Fairy Tale and Stamp with fun challenges...if I remember I'm going to charge my camera up fully today to take with me for piccys of the house to show you all (one of you remind me on Tuesday or Wednesday please as I'm going down on Thursday), I hope you dont all have this picture in your head of a chocolate box cottage because its not that at all...and I'm hopefully going to get some crafting done today fingers crossed...whatever your up to today have a brilliant one

  35. Hi Mina. Beautiful colours on this card and such a sweet image. If there are offers on any of the cleaning products, etc., that I use, I normally buy a few more even if I don't need them. It seems to be rubbing off on Hollie to and it gets embarassing when you are in a supermarket and she is shouting "Mum do you need this today, it's buy one get one free or its half price." Donna

  36. Such a sweet, sweet card! Your coloring is just so awesome. And now we know where you get your own wicked sense of humor from! I think your mother passed it on to you. I think we all look forward to your wit as much as your gorgeous cards!

    I stock up on stuff like that too, I hate the feeling when I run out of something. That's why my paper collection is border line obsessive. Lol ~jeni :)
