PPPPick up a Penguin...

Hello, happy Wednesday. We had a fab day at London Zoo on Monday. Having my hair cut today and then off for my flu jab later, thought it was a good idea when I booked it but feeling nervous now :-( The rest of my day is going to be taken up by cleaning and sorting. I made these 2 CAS cards using the same paper pad and same image but they look very different, what do you think...


Supplies:
Image - from the Arctic Fun set coloured with Promarkers
Papers - Winter Wonderland by Dovecraft
Ribbon - Crafty Ribbons
Buttons - Dovecraft
Sentiment tag - Craftwork Cards
Other - Spellbinders circle & scallop circle dies, brown inkpad, Star Dust Stickles

Thanks so much for looking x

Catching a lift...

Season's Tweetings...

Good morning peeps, happy Tuesday to you :-) We went on a class trip to Lush yesterday afternoon and had a go at making soap. It was a but messy but really good fun. We went to a local ice-cream parlour last week and sampled several different flavours. Have to say I am rather enjoying this change of job ;-) We are off to a cathedral on Thursday, I am a little less excited about that trip...!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? I have but am starting to panic that I haven't done as much as I should have done. We are buying the boys a games console & games between them and I have just ordered slippers, pyjamas and dressing gowns. Christmas musts! I have ordered my mum and dad one of the ceramic poppies on display at the Tower of London. When the display is removed they will have one of the poppies sent to their home to keep.
