Fluffy Friday!



















Here's a couple of LO's that I have made this week, as you can see I was feeling all cute and fluffy when I made them. Another appearance from SM who I haven't scrapped in ages, and a page about the pet names that BM and I have for each other. Can you tell who is who? How soppy are we?

I have finished work now, having survived night duties, and am now looking forward to our camping trip. I was meant to go in this evening but my job was cancelled so I thought I would take an extra days holiday and have a little me time. Who knows, might even get some cheeky scrapping done? Have some chores to do to though before we go, you know the usual washing and cleaning, but have all weekend to do them so they may just go on hold for a while longer.
Catch you later

Tribute!

Well here's the LO I made about the Blur gig in Hyde Park. I saw these papers and they looked suitably music gig/rock band/grungy/festivally flavoured, which reflected the range of different people at the gig perfectly!

It was a great day and BM loved it!

We are watching the Michael Jackson funeral on Sky news at the moment, a typical media circus, which is I guess what MJ would have loved?  It's all quite bizarre and in some ways it still hasn't sunk in that he is no longer with us. His music was fantastic whatever problems he had in his personal life. He is one of those top 5 people for me that I would love to go for dinner with, just to ask him  - WHY? 
 I hope he is at peace now. 
God bless you Michael.

This time next week......

Ooh, just this one week of night shifts to go and then next Monday BM and I are off on our first holiday for this year. Not that we are flash and have two, but we are off camping for a week on our own in Devon and then a couple of weeks after that we are off camping with small monkey in tow, going down to Dorset.

I can't wait!
I just hope that all this lovely weather we have been having can last just a bit longer for us.
Please?

I made this LO as a tribute to my little car. It really makes me sad that this may be the last year I get to play in it, as it is getting very old now and like most of us the bodywork is not holding up to keep its good looks!!! And no, you are not seeing double, I did own two at the same time very briefly!! I would love to take it on holiday with us, and make the most of having the roof off, but along with roof boxes and tents and other camping 'stuff' it's just not practical. Also two lots of petrol is so unnecessary in this financial climate.

Anyhoo, have a few hours to play before work so am heading into the zone now, come and join me tomorrow if you like?

It all ends in a Blur!


This is where we were yesterday afternoon much to BM's delight!!
It was a lovely hot day in Hyde Park and the music was fab, although Damon was better than BM obviously, it was a beautiful duet they sang for 2 hours!!?

Not much else to report this week, will obviously be making a LO about the above but we have lots to do to get ready for our next camping trip which is on the 13th. Next week we are on night duty so no time to prepare. Luckily the camping shop is near to The Craft Barn so I may have to sneak in quickly for some pop concert style paper?? That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! (BM is currently disputing the words "may" and "quickly" in that last sentence!!)
Hopefully will have some stuff to share with you soon.
Have a great weekend

Midweek waffles.

What lovely weather we are having, great if you get to go out and play in it, but I have been at work all week and have just caught the lovely evening sunshine after sweltering in my office!

Big Monkey and I did go out for dinner at an al fresco eatery which was very pleasant the other evening and yesterday I had a very taxing office lunch to celebrate a colleague leaving which involved several jugs of Pimms, so don't send me too much sympathy, I haven't really suffered!?

Haven't done any scrapping, co's BM and I have been too busy in the evenings with the dance game on the new wii - it is fab fun and we are quite competetive with each other. It's about the only game that I actually get to win on, bless him his moves are not up to the wii timings!!! Here then is a LO from ages ago that I like but am not convinced the title is right, wasn't sure what to call it and didn't want anything too corny! Hope you are enjoying the weather

The wedding



Wow!
What a fabulous day it was at Rosie and Ivons wedding!

Of course the weather was gorgeous, as was the setting. The guests were a fabulously friendly bunch and a real mix as you see. 
The bride and groom both looked stunning, and neither of them could stop smiling all day. It was magical with beautiful heartfelt speeches and  delicious food. The groom provided us with a superb solo performance on the dance floor and we all came away happy and smiling, glad we had the chance to share this special day with them.
Congratulations xx

The night before.....

Today passed, I wouldn't say quite uneventfully, but it's not stuff I want to share with you guys. It was bad, but now on the mend - hopefully!

Tomorrow - now that is a whole new day and it's gonna be busy.
 I am up at 0500 as I am working the early shift then a quick change at work to go to Ivon and Rosie's wedding!  They are both colleagues from work who fell in love with each other.........ahhhhhhh!

This LO is from Rosie's Hen weekend in Birmingham a few weeks ago. We had a great time, drank lots and laughed even more at the Comedy Store, the acts were great! No tales of naughtiness or woe though, we were all very well behaved - promise!
