More wall names – at last!

PIPPA

I have finally gotten around to doing the wall name for Pippa’s room.  I made them for Sophie and Georgia EONS ago and just have Olivia and (a reluctant) Daniel still to do!!  Here is a close up at a couple of the letters.  I have used 8” chipboard letters by Making Memories which I believe are now discontinued!!  Good job I bought all I needed when I did!!  I have traced around the letter onto my favourite paper du jour , Blueberry Hill by Papermania – I adore Cath Kidston which this paper is so reminiscent of.  On each letter I have embellished with a little something – a ribbon, butterflies, flowers etc.  They look really effective on the wall when they’re done and really don’t take much time at all.IMG_2339

Well, I am doing a nice Sunday roast for what feels the first time in a century!!  Over the summer holidays we were so out of our routine and I feel like I need to get back to some good wholesome cooking!!!  Don’t worry, it won’t last!!

Have a great day – and thanks to all those who have left comments on my candy post and become followers.  I am enjoying reading what’s on all your Christmas lists!!  It’s making me really excited and christmassey-feeling!!!

Hugs,

Blog Award :0)

smiles on faces award

This gorgeous award has been kindly passed on to me and my fellow ProMarker girlies from our gorgeous and talented Sarah.  Isn’t this a great award – I love the name of it.  It has a condition – name 5 things you might not know about me, so here goes….

1.  I am compulsive about buying things in multiples of two!

2. I got stung by wasp on Thursday and it REALLY HURT!

3. I want to swim with Great White Sharks.

4. My eldest daughter is named after Olivia Newton-John.

5. I have 2 cats called Ollie and Scratchy.

I’m so boring aren’t I?  I listed anything vaguely interesting about myself for another blog award a few months back so was really struggling to come up with anything at all!! lol

I am passing this on to these gorgeous peeps as they make me smile whenever I read their comments or visit their blogs:

Steph , Victoria, Tracy and Aimes.

Big hugs,
