It's the season...

for illness! Yup, I have lurgy! woohoo. However, I have finished that blasted essay. I'd forgotton how difficult concentrating while having a cold is.

Anyway onto other things. I've a couple of LO's to share and something for Beki...

This is Metro, she decided the chair was an appropriatebed and my sister put a cushion on top of her! I used Septemebr's Go-go kit and some of Dyan's mica sprays. I'll link them when her site is back up!

This next one is one I did just after the getaway. The photo isn't all that good (sorry)

 I even used some sassafrass!

And for Beki... The Boy in uniform :)

Right, off to continue my busy day!

Due to popular demand!

I'm going to keep this a bit short as I have been told I've got either RSI or Carpal Tunnel. Either way, my wrist is sore, so want to give it time to heal (and I have an essay to write!)

Today, I wanted to share my last couple of getaway classes with you.

First up, Lorraine's class.

See those dimples around the side of the photo? They were made with a dressmakers wheel. Very funky.

And another of Helen's classes (she gives you chocolate you see!)

There is a little story from this class, Helen reckons The Boy has a bit of George Clooney in him. Now since I'm always being told by said Boy I have crap taste, I thought I'd leave it to others to decide. The Go-go verdict was "dishy/hot/cute..." What do you gals think?


With that, I'm of to rest my wrist. And somehow write an essay!

Stash shopping and blowing The Boy's trumpet

Stop sniggering at the back there! I don't mean that kinda trumpet! As some of you might know, I happen to think I have the world's most amazing boyfriend.

I came back from work yesterday to these beauties

and a cute little note ^_^ I not only love the suprise, but also, he doesn't buy me flowers to 'apologise' he does it because he can.

Now, he may not 'get' my crafty obsession, I might get heavy *sighs* whenever I start discussing 'scrap' related stuff.

Well, I'll start at the proper beginning, The Boy and I went to York last weekend. See some friends etc etc. It was only supposed to be a day trip and he was driving. Then we got the suggestion of a beer festival... and a bed for the night (one of our own may I add (wait's for sniggering to die down again)) And with me knowing the GNEP Papercraft Extravaganza was on in Harrogate... Shy bairns get nowt! Besides, how could I resist, if he'd said no I would have got the train anyway!

OMG! I had soooooooooooo much fun. And wasn't nearly as naughty as I thought!
To that end, here's my stash purchases

In one lovely package :D Glimmer chips, grungeboard (been dying to try), some tags, stamps, primas and distress inks :D There are some little copper pins at the bottom too.
My fave finds however were

Dylusions Mica spray ink - how gorgeous is that blue?!

 

And some pots of buttons! I love that they're in different sizes and colours. Sorry, I'm not sure where these were from.

Now you guys may be sitting there thinking "sure, my man takes me to these things too, what's so special?" You see, I was there for about two hours. The Boy got a cuppa, sat down and didn't complain at all, not once, not even on the way home! (Although he promise's he'll hold it against me later!)

So, suggestions as to what to do with my stash are appreciated! Off to look at my flowers.

*much loves*
