Lovely Post & Wahey.........

The wahey is because, I don't have to work for the next two weekends - yay !!!

Anyhow, have you had a good weekend? We've had lots of snow in Yorkshire but it hasn't settled - boo!!

Thought, I'd share some of the lovely post I've received recently. I'm a member of the fab forum Papercraftersunited as you know. Recently we had a vintage card competition which was won by a lovely lady called Marianne from Denmark. I really loved her entry and the vintage label she had used , so do you know what she did? posted a packet of labels out to me! how kind is that?

Here they are, too delicious to use really....................The post came early on Saturday so I was able to open a parcel of fat quarters that I'd ordered from Ebay, they are scrummy. I really wanted to stay at home and have a play, ho hum. Twiglet has earmarked the choo choo fabric (that's what it's called honest) he wants me to make him a train. He does have a lot of faith in his mummy which is quite lovely but it doesn't half keep me on my toes. Keep your eyes peeled for Challenge Twiglet, I've still not got around to making him an Idris the dragon from Ivor the Engine. I love the fact that Twiglet loves the 1970s retro kids telly me and Mr Twigs watched during the 70s. The latest programme we've introduced him to is The Magic Roundabout, he loves it and dances when the theme tune comes on - fab!!!

Well after a visit to the pet shop Mr Twigs tells me that apparently our fish died because there was too much ammonia in the water, this was because we shouldn't have introduced three fish to the tank at the same time - hmmm would have nice to have received this advice when we bought them, me thinks.

Anyhoo Sping seems fine and has just discovered his reflection so it's very entertaining watching him flipping around like crazy as if to say, who is that handsome guy, check me out!!!

We are going to wait for a week or so and buy just one more fishy for the time being, however, I'm not sure how our alpha fish will feel about that:)

Twiglet and I love CRAFTING as he calls anything that involves paper, pom poms and glue sticks and we have some ace books. Thought we'd have a bash at something from this book which is terrific for little artists.

and produced this fine looking bus....................

Please note that Twiglet has drawn passengers, Grandma is in the first window, then mummy with Twiglet on her knee and the passenger at the back with the big round head is daddy - haha!

And finally, excitement, our seeds have started to grow, so far we have lots of oriental salad (below), beetroot, one tomato and courgette and two sunflowers. Considering the artic like conditions in our porch I'm rather pleased.
Now don't forget if any of you are Damages fans like me, it's the series finale tomorrow night, oh Glen Close is so scarey...............
