OMG what an awful day

Hello peeps

What an awful day yesterday and today has been, ordered a new phone for Alan online from Carphone Warehouse on Thursday and it came with a free Samsung 2 7.0 tablet but no SIM card, for the phone so rang them up and they said I could get one from their branch at Marsh Mills in Plymouth so travelled the 10 miles to branch queued 20 minutes got to counter and was told they had none in stock and that I would get one in their branch in New George Street which is in Plymouth Town Centre so off I went again a further 5 miles parked the car walked up to the branch, bearing in mind that to walk any distance is quite painful and I use crutches got to the branch queued again for a further 10 minutes only to be told (guess.......) they had none in stock and I would have to go to their branch in the Mall, could feel my blood beginning to boil at this point.

So off I went again got to the Mall, you guessed it queued again but this time they had one in stock, the staff in their were falling over themselves to help me, got me a chair to sit on, offered me a drink and sorted everything out including keeping Alan's old number.

I was shattered when I got home fell asleep in my chair around 7pm and woke up when Alan shook me to say come to bed.

This morning was getting tidied up before getting ready to go over to Rachel's for a crafty afternoon stretched up to put a skirt in the wardrobe and my back gave way so now I can hardly walk or move without shooting pains in my back and down my left leg so no crafting with Rachel today.  Boo hoo.

I do have a couple of cards to show you but may have trouble getting them onto my blog as my memory card has broken and I can't get the pictures off it. So am trying something different.  my neighbour has asked me to make a couple of plain cards for posting so I came up with these yesterday before I went on my mega trip.  Hope you like them.



Well that's it for me for today, have been doing a lot of blog hopping today but will keep checking your brilliant work over the next few hours until bedtime.

Loads of love

Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge #237

Morning all

Only one post today as I am out this afternoon at my daughter's having my hair done, am thinking of going back to my natural colour which is Auburn am blonde at the moment will have to see what the hair dresser thinks am fed up of having to do my roots all the time.

For those of you who are interested and even those who are not lol.  Toby burst the balloon by biting it and as it was filled with helium you can imagine what his meow was like for a little while, so funny, the bang did not disturb him he carried on my dragging the balloon around by the string for a while but at bedtime I put it in the bin.

My cards today are both very different from each other, the first is a Christmas Card and I would like to enter this into Wednesday's Creative Inspirations Challenge I have followed the sketch that they provided



for my card I used a Sherri Baldy image and my tonic studio die which I bought in Exeter at Westpoint Show, backing papers are from Bearly Mine , flowers are from stash and sentiment was computer generated.



For my second card I used a mask and coloured in with my prismacolor pencils thought it turned out quite nice very simple CAS card the sentiment was computer generated straight onto card and just added a few peach hearts to add a bit of bling.  Hope you like it.


Well am off to take Bella out for a wee, it looks like the heavens are going to open again has gone very dark.  Must go to the Shop need to get some milk.

Will be back after I have had my hair done to do some blog hopping may even get daughter to take a photo of my new colour and post it you never know watch this space, it won't be a pretty sight.

Love to all

Joanna Sheen Challenge (Buttons)

Afternoon all

Blimey how many posts in one day but wanted to get this card made and entered into the challenge over at Joanna Sheen where the challenge is buttons.  I used an image from the House Mouse Project Book Volume 2, these images are so cute. My Christmas tree is a Crafters Companion die, buttons and papers from stash.


I have also been invited as a Guest DT with the Joanna Sheen Team just waiting for them to contact me with the details whoooo wheeee, so excited to have been picked.

Am off in a mo to sort something out for dinner tonight think we have stuff made up in the freezer just need to defrost it in the microwave.

Wanted to show you this photo of Toby playing with the Balloon from Sarah's flowers which she had for her birthday, Bella looking on saying mum he's going to burst it and then we'll be for it lol

 
Sorry it's a bit blurry but he was moving this around so fast, he must of jumped up in the kitchen onto the draining board as that is where I left the balloon.  He is one little monster.
 
Am off to do a bit more blog hopping after I have sorted the dinner out.
 
Love to all
