We're going to the zoo zoo zoo

Actually, not exactly the zoo - we ended up at Woburn safari park.

Mel, Paul & the kiddies came down on monday night [oh, much much excitement] and we were SUPPOSED to have been watching paul race at silverstone on tuesday morning. Because of the fog it was cancelled so we all hot footed it over to Woburn.

We had an awesome day out, the kids were so funny and mel had her lip gloss stolen by a monkey!

We then found out that Mel has never been through a lion enclosure before - jesus, did she scream hehe. Mind you, the lions were VERY VERY close and boy do they have big ol teeth - proof can be seen in the photo below!!!!!


Here's a few piccies of us all :D





I took this piccie of mel on the little train that we went on - obviously it was over exposed and every other "wrong" thing that you could possibly think of but actually......i love it!, it feels kind of arty if that makes any sense hehe. May have to use this photo on my next lo.



Nothing crafty from me this week im afraid - i've finished my dt team stuff for sarahs cards but obviously i cant show you that at the minute LOL

2nd DT Kit

whoo hoo - it seems like ages ago that i did my 2nd set for Sarahs Cards www.sarahscardsltd.com
I get so excited when i see them in the gallery - feels a bit like being famous LOL [i know i know, im such a weirdo! LOL]

I was really pleased with how they turned out, i try to do one in "my style" and then one slightly simpler. Only trouble is my brain has gone kaput on this months kit and im struggling for a minute or two. It'll come to me eventually :D

Anyhoose, here they are :-


oooh, nearly forgot!

I posted the next challenge for crafts by carolyn this week www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk. The challenge this time is "round and round!" - i love this layout, i think its one of my favourites. Will definately be using this format again.

Pressie for a friend...

Made this for a friend of mine - i was SO bad. I had meant to do this weeks ago and then the days just ran away from me again. bad bad carol!

Had my offer of compensation for the whole "London" saga this week - £1000!, yep, thats right. I have to admit that i thought it would be more than that but apparently without going through psychiatrists etc etc they can only class me as having temporary suffering (whatever the heck that means!) - can't really be bothered to fight the offer, it just means dragging the whole thing on so i've accepted it and thats it FINITO :(

yah! my cj came home

Yah! my circle journal came home this week. I am SO pleased with the results i can't even tell you.

And! just to top it off - we're all going to have another go so need to pull my finger out and get cracking again!

HERE WE GO AGAIN :)

Nothing much happening here this week, alls quiet on the home front.

Project 2 - An envie-album

I came across this idea by complete fluke. I was putting a letter in the envelope at work and i folded it in half by mistake - voila, my little light bulb went on and this is the end result :D.

I've made this Project 2 on CBC www.craftsbycarolyn.co.uk and i can't wait to see what they can come up with.

You start off with


after my lack of valentines card for my hubby im using this as his birthday card but i would normally use it as an mini album.

I'd love to see what everyone comes up with :D
