Good morning everyone...yep I slept in and forgot to schedule my post last night oops...how are you all and is the weather any better where you are?, I hope so because summer has completely abandoned us here...we went to the cinema last night and because it is ages and ages since we were there I had totally forgotten how noisy people are...why would you pay to see a movie then make so much noise eating and chatting that it spoils it for others lol...anyway 3d glasses on we settled down to watch it and about 20 mins in something caught my eye...the couple next to me were cuddled up she had her legs and feet across his lap and he was rubbing her feet...gross how icky is that and considering how close they were to me very inappropriate...now I have thing about feet I hate to even touch my own so you can imagine how much this grossed me out...Phil's face was a picture when I nudged him lol...I just turned from them a bit but every now and again at an exciting bit in the movie the feet rubbing would get just a little over zealous lol...but beside from that the movie was ok, not the best I have ever seen but not bad and Brad Pitt is ageing very very well...right now onto my card for today...I'm loving these beautiful new Return to Fairy Glen stamps from Sugar Nellie aren't you...this is the cute Live Laugh Love stamp coloured with my usual distress inks and loads of glittery wings...the fab papers are from the Prima 6x6 Tea Thyme paper pad...I love these pretty papers they are so summery and fresh...I finished with a large cream satin bow and a Mini Spray Cream (3 Stems) from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...the fab sketch is from Sketch Saturday challenge (sketch 250) and I'm also entering it for the Ladybug Crafts Ink Challenge and the Craft Your Passion Challenge too...I'm off to catch up with some DT work for next week while I'm away (yes there will still be some posts lol)...whatever your up to today watch out for stray feet...ick

Good morning everyone do you have anything wonderful planned for your weekend?...go on let us all know so we can be jealous...Phil's away at the racing so I'm having a lovely relaxed crafting couple of days as hes camping overnight and wont be back until late tonight...then a chinese I think when he gets home as we are never quiet sure what time it will be...you will be happy to know Sumo cat is fine, seems she must have just bumped herself and shes much better thank goodness...I was dreading what the vet would say so a huge sigh of relief from all of us, I know it will happen eventually but our beautiful Daughter has had her since she was very young and I'm dreading it as she will be devastated...she didn't find anything she wanted to have a go at in the craft shop, in fact after five minuets she was saying she was bored lol...oh well it was worth a try wasn't it...right now onto my card for today...seriously know does Moo from Mo's Digital Pencil look like she needs telling to relax lol...after I finished colouring her with distress inks I stared at her for a while thinking what is wrong with my colouring, I knew there was something wrong but couldn't quick pick it up...it isn't until now I have realised I have coloured her udders white instead of pink...well duh how daft is that lol...Cows are definitely my favourite animals, its their chilled, laid back attitude I think, they never seem in a hurry...I teamed her up with these lush papers from a Whiff of Joy paper pad I bought ages and ages ago from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished with a couple of strips of yellow ribbon and some butterflies cut from the papers...I'm entering this for the Craft your Passion Challenge, Charisma Cardz Challenge and The Paper Shelter Challenge too...I'm off to do a little more crafting before I decide if I'm heading out today...whatever your doing today exciting or relaxing I hope its a good one
