Plenty to blog about today as I've been non stop these last few days.
Firstly, more index cards from my Shimelle LSNED class - not long now til we get to the end of this class. Sharing here the 21st and 22nd. I need to photograph my more recent pages still.
Friday night I went to the cinema with my daughter to see Julia Roberts in Eat, Pray, Love. I've yet to read the book, but will certainly be doing so now, and absolutely loved the film. I'm hoping to get to see it again in the week, and I truly believe it will end up being one of my all time favourite films and certainly influential in my life.
Whilst at the cinema ChickenSoup recipe 13 went life, one chosen by myself with a vast array of DT exmaples too. Unlucky for some? Not us crafters - go check it out and to be in with a chance to win a prize from our September sponsor - last chance to enter for this month! How will you be inspired to create?
And so to retail therapy! This weekend saw plenty craft stores heading to Alexandra Palace for the Big Stamping and Scrapbooking Show. I ventured there yesterday with Debs Jewell and her gorgeous girlies and whilst it was uncomfortably busy I did manage to procure a few new bits including the Martha Stewart birds on a wire border punch
and a larger flower punch (so I can replicate the fantastic gingerbread man bunting displayed on the Sugar & Spice stall), some Tattered Angels Gimmer paint, a selection of new stamps and several wooden/papier mache objects for altering - including a money box I am going to decorate for my chicken egg sales money! I'll be spending the next few weeks putting some bits and pieces together to scrap whilst away at the ATDML retreat and will probably take a few of these projects to do as well.

Finally - Laughter! Hubs and I had a date last night, rare for a married couple with three kids, and we ventured off to St.Albans (now renamed St.All bran!! by Eddie Izzard) to see Laughs in the Park. Having never seen Dylan Moran or Reginald D Hunter in anything before I was happy to be going just to see Eddie Izzard. I wasn't disappointed, Eddie was fab, but Dylan Moran had me crying with laughter! So, so, so funny, or maybe it was the subject of family life that had me hooked! A top night all in all, but sadly followed by little sleep having been up all night with a poorly three year old - thank heavens for lazy Sundays eh?!
Hope you are all having a super weekend and enjoy whatever it is you end up doing :)
