Face Painting, Sparky and Stewart Granger

Tessa was bored yesterday so I told her she could get the face paints out if her brothers were willing!!! Dominic was first up and she did a good job too(he was supposed to be Neptune) then I painted Ethan as an old style vamp! (no pic sadly) then Tessa painted herself with a rather quirky design that she made up... Queen of Hearts maybe...











































One thing that made me laugh after was Alun popped in waitrose and Tessa and Ethan went with him, so we quickly wiped off the paint from their faces and it was only when they returned that I realised Ethan still had white paint in his hair at the temples!!! he looked like a distinguished greying 6 year old!!! (think Stewart Granger and you'll catch my drift!)

So then I managed to do a layout from a challenge that Heather had set, the layout required us to use old stash!!! and a photo of ourselves as a child!!! I did it but am not keen purely because I hate scrapping myself!! I wouldn't do it for anyone else and certainly not again!!! but thanks for the challenge Heather and roll on next week;-)






















This was a sketch challenge from Heather, she also wanted us to use old stash and a photo of ourselves when we were little...

I am in the garden when we lived at Upavon holding a feral kitten that my sister had found and enticed out of an outbuilding!!! my mum said he had sparks coming from his eyes he was so wild!! shortly after this photo was taken, my friend, Julia at nursery, died from meningitis so my mum insisted on giving the kitten to her younger brother!!! On reflection mum gave away alot of our pets!!! there was 4 cats and at least the same amount of dogs...

ETA... Tessa painted Ethan again in the same style!!!

Wowzer!!!

My Wonderful Friend Heather sent me all this!!! loads of gorgeous papers including loads of BG's two scoops designs, some blingy brads, fab die-cut and stamped tickets and some gorgeous die-cuts and fabby big buttons!!! plus some mini albums too! Isn't she wonderful! I know I've already said Thank you on the phone yesterday Heather but Thank you again, you are a wonderful, caring and generous person and I love you to bits!!!

phew! 4 hours later...

Next time I have a bright idea to give the blog a face-lift! for goodness sake, somebody talk me out of it!!! I should have listened to Sandra;)

Off for a lay-down now and I'll scrap tonight instead!

Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!! Change isn't always progress!!!

I decided to give the old blog a face-lift!! bad idea!! in doing so I've managed to delete alot of comments and stuff:-(

This is not the end of this, i've been faffing for the last 2 hours trying to sort it out but nothing is working yet!!

Off to have lunch then sort it out after a bacon sandwich!!!

Necessity is the sister of thingumywhatsit!!!

A few years back I bought a butchers block type island for the kitchen with my eye on it to become my scrapping desk!!! Anyway to cut a long story short we had to keep it in the kitchen cos someone forgot to have drawers put in a kitchen unit that they had chosen when the kitchen was re-designed!!! (guilty m'lud!!) so since then I thought ooh a die-cutting and stamping station would be a good use for the said unit!!  Nope! says the tall one!!! D'oh says the short fat one (aka me!) then last night it struck me (not physically you understand! but a Eureka moment!!!) I have been staring it right in the face and not given it a moments thought but what if I cleared off my therapist trolley and put the stuff away and voila!!!

One mobile die-cutting station!! with extra storage on the bottom shelf for layouts yet to be sorted into albums too...

It would appear that one is not just a pretty face after all!

Cute as a button

      This layout was done using the Gottacraft June Kit and a sketch from pencillines.com.
I really enjoyed using this kit and I still have plenty left to do a few more layouts:-D and also some good news too! I have also started to subscribe to the monthly Gottacraft kit too... I may have to get
a job soon!!! The only problem with that is I am such a slow scrapper, I may never get any layouts done!!!
