Glitter Me Silly

Well, I’m sitting here (on hold to British Gas I might say – harrumph), still not packed but at least I have made a start – my bed is buried under 7 piles of clothes ready to be shoved in a case! The problem I have is that this holiday is a bit different to what we’ve become used to. We ALWAYS go self-catering, usually a villa (or lodge in the case of centerparcs)! This time we have a “family suite ” – two adjoining hotel rooms basically which is a bit worrying for me. I don’t fancy handwashing clothes in a hotel sink but then we physically can’t carry 14 days worth of clothes for 7 people!! Oh I should just stop winging and get on with it! How spoilt am I??

Ok, to keep me in the holiday mood, here is a LO of a brilliant holiday we had in Cornwall a few years ago. “Oh I do like to be beside the seaside” – EVERYBODY -” Oh I do like to be beside the sea……”

No not Christmas already – Turkey the country! We’re off on a Sunsail holiday on Friday for 2 weeks. We haven’t been away this year yet (well if you don’t count Centerparcs!)so am really looking forward to it. It’ll be the first time on a plane with 5 kids so it’ll be interesting if nothing else. I have to say I am going to miss updating my blog so if I can persuade the hubby to take the laptop I migh tbe able to post a few things. Don’t want you getting all green though!!(hee hee).

In recognition of our upcoming holiday I am sharing a LO I did of Chris and I taken on our fabulous holiday to Majorca a couple of years ago. It was the first time we had been away with friends and it was ABSOLULEY FANTASTIC. We can’t have been too awful either because they went away with us again last year to Portugal!

Thought I’d post up this LO I did of our wedding day over 13 years ago (I was a child bride! – okay, 22, but that seems young now)! I was at mums today and whilst rifling through some old stuff I came across a video of our wedding. We never actually had a copy for some reason and so I haven’t watched it for over 10 years. Anyhoo, it made me feel rather old and Chris looked like a 12 year old! I found some old school photos too which I’ll scan and put on Facebook later!!! Oh to be 22 again – I wonder if my wedding dress still fits…..

The title was done using a masking technique I saw in Scrapbook Inspirations a couple of years ago. I used chipboard letters but you could use anything for the mask. Place your desired shape where you want it (I used a bit of low tack tape to make sure it didn’t move)then sprinkle embossing powder over it. You then heat from the underside which is a little tricky but wasily enough done. When the powder is all melted you take your shape away to reveal your image. Thought I’d just add this info as a few people have asked how it was done. Hope that all made sense!
