too much excitment before bed...


Good morning everyone hows the weather where you are...its still freezing cold here and we even had a few flakes of snow yesterday between it piddling down most of the time that is...oh please let the spring come soon I'm dying to be able to sit on the deck on my newly painted garden furniture, although I'm not quite sure about the colour, its a lovely shade of muted sage green but with the blue fence (a gift from the last people lol) it just doesn't look just right if you know what I mean...you know whats going to happen don't you...yep one of them is going to have to be painted isn't it...I thinking Phil is hoping its not the fence bless him lol....ooohhhh bit of excitement last night, I was sitting quite late watching the tv after Phil had gone to bed and heard a loud bang looked outside (cause I'm a bit nosey lol)  and there was a man hurrying down the street after parking his car about four doors up from our house...so I sat down again thinking nothing of it...ten minuets later I heard a really loud bang like a small explosion and looked outside again to see the car on fire and flames licking out of it...the panic that rises in your chest when something like that happens is terrible I had to stop myself running up to it to see if anyone was inside but I rang the police and fire brigade...the fire out the police didn't come near me despite me telling the 999 operator that I saw someone leaving the car...oh well I'm sure they will come to the house if they need to, it a very strange thing to happen on a quiet street like ours isn't it...there's nothing like something like that happening to make sure you don't get to sleep at all is there lol...right now onto my card for today its using another of the Bags of Fashion stamps release from Sugar Nellie, this is the fabulous Morgan, I cant choose which of these I like the best though...its a good thing I have them all isn't it lol...I coloured her with distress inks and used some lush papers from the Kaisercraft - Secret Admirer 6.5"x6.5" Paper Pad I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts...I finished with some buttons and two types of ribbon from my stash...the fab sketch is from The Sweet Stop Challenge and I'm also entering it for the No Matter Which Challenge and the Challenges 4 Everybody challenge too...I'm off for more tests at the Docs today...I think they are running a secret blood bank from there you know lol...whatever your up to today I hope your afternoon is nicer than mine and you dont need to go see the vampires too

Good morning everyone how was your week...good I hope...I had a lovely catch up day with my Dad today, put the world to rights coffee, a little trip to town and then up to his house to program all his numbers into his new phone which we had to dash out and buy because his old one finally broke down thank goodness...it was so old he could hardly hear the ring and it didn't even have any way to switch up the volume so we got him a really modern one...only problem is he rang me later to tell me someone rang him and he nearly jumped out of his skin it was loud lol...well at least he can hear it finally...right now onto my card for today which is using one of the brand new Bag's of Fashion digis from Sugar Nellie...did you buy any of these yet, I would love to know which ones you bought...this is the stunning Tabitha just look at all that amazing hair...I coloured her with distress inks and used some of the stunning Glitz 6x6 Pretty In Pink Paper Pad I bought from Bunny Zoe's Crafts ages ago...its out of stock atm though...I finished with a lush checked ribbon bow, a black pearl swirl with a few added to the bag and charm and a heart charm with more of the paper in...the fab sketch is from Mojo Monday and I'm also entering it for the City Crafter Challenge and the Craft Us Crazy Challenge too...well we are finally off get my Dads hearing checked out today, he has a hearing test appointment and then a consultation...I cant wait for him to be able to hear properly again and I have told after his hearing is sorted if he says 'what' again I will scream...so I'm off to get my war paint on to head out...wish us luck we will need it although my Dad can charm the birds out of the trees when he has too so is bound to charm the Audiologist lol...whatever your up to today I hope you have a fantastic one
