LOOK how lucky I am!!

The post has just arrived with this gorgeous little box from a very special lady and look what was inside!! Steph (Stamping and Sharing) is one of the kindest people ever to grace this earth and she has sent these special little gifts to 5 of her blogging friends – and lucky, lucky me – I’m one of them!!!! I am so touched and the card, box, little tags – everyting, is just exquisite. Thank you Steph, I am soooooo chuffed to be your pal!

Big hugs,

Oink!

Yes, I have it! The dreaded swine flu!! After thinking I was over the worst of it yesterday I suddenly felt SOOOOO tired and lethargic. It was such a wierd feeling. My head was throbbing and I was sweating like a, erm, pig!! I do feel a bit better today again so hopefully am over the worst of it. I was perked up by a visit from the postie with two parcels – some retro flower punches (Debbie from A Scrap Journey made me do it – what she does with those punches is amazing) and my Oval All stamps and punches from Stampin Up! – wanted these for ages so thought I’d treat myself!
Ok, am off to put my feet up – couldn’t resist a wee trip round blogland but I don’t think looking at the computer screen for too long is advised!

Will catch up with everyone I haven’t had a chance to visit later.

Hugs,

ASOS #62 Sketch by ME!!

 

2

It is my turn to set the challenge over at ASOS this week and so here it is,  a simple sketch.  I designed it months ago and bizarrely it is quite similar to the sketch for this week’s PFP challenge by Maria (but hers is way prettier!).  I think there’ll be a good opportunity to combine these challenges this week actually as the layout is so similar.  See my other post for today to compare the two sketches. 

Anyhoo, here is my card.  I have used my favourite of the Leanne Ellis images and coloured her with PMs and then glittered the moon.  The papers are Daisy Bucket – LOVE these so much and the greeting is Craftwork Cards – what did I do before I discovered these fab little things?

Okie-dokey, must dash – promised the kids I take them somewhere today as I virtually never left the sofa yesterday.  I still feel yuk but kids couldn’t care less could they?  Your leg could be hanging off by a thread and they still want you to take them swimming!

Have a good day everyone.
