Dadcu - a sneaky peak

Here's a little sneak peak at mini book I just finished off for my dad today. It's not his birthday until Friday (yes I booked to see Tim Holtz on my dad's birthday but he is going away with my mum that weekend) so a better look will be available after the birthday boy has had a look.

Friday5 - 18/02/11

1. It's 7 days until Tim Holtz. OMG I'm so nervous. So nervous! I'll probably just sit in the corner and not say anything to anyone!

2. Fed up today. One of my many jobs is in a sky call centre upgrading existing customers. I'm fed up of customers upgrading to sky sports just of the cricket. I already know far too much about the cricket world cup! I'll be glad when it's over.

3. Going to Carmarthen on Sunday. Looking forward to catching up with family a looking round some of the craft shops in West Wales.

4. Did I say it was 7 days to Tim Holtz? Before ArtsyCrafts he's doing a TSV on QVC and I was gutted to find out that the TSV is not going to be the Vagabond. We've got to wait even longer for it to be released in the UK - it won't be available til the end of March. When I saw the demo of it at CHA in January last year I knew it was the die cutter of choice but to have to wait 14 months for it I may just go and by a big shot.

5. The TSV looks like it going to be stamps or inks. I'm a bit disappointed with the examples on the QVC website but I'm sure Tim will come up with some great ideas. Can't wait - it should be a good week.

WOYWW - 16/02/11

Here's my desk today. I'm supposed to be working on the butterfly card with some beautiful House of 3 downloads which i printed on photo paper but currently I'm watching Grey's Anatomy instead. Love this program especially the way that Christina Yang's character has completely changed after last seasons huge Finale. Sandra Oh is brilliant actress.

Back to the crafting. Finally finished the mini book yesterday so look out for it on the blog soon.

Questions Answered

Thank for all the comments recently. Here are a few answers to some of the questions I've received.

1. Here's the 18th birthday card I made a couple of weeks ago.



The 18 uses Junkitz paper distressed with vintage photo distress ink. I love the background paper it's plain white paper pressed into gold paint and water and left to dry then more distressing with vintage photo. Loving this distress ink and the moment.

2. The pots on my desk from WOYWW pic couple of weeks ago are bath salts from The Body Shop. Got them in the Xmas sales and I'm just waiting for some birthdays to give them away.

3. The baskets are actually a hot pink colour and were a set of 3 from Asda for £3 (I think). Know they were 2 for £5 so I got 6 baskets for a fiver. Bargain. They are made a really soft plastic so are really bench. I've got 1 in the kitchen (a blue one) and 1 in the bathroom (a white one) and the rest in the bedroom holding my craft stuff.

4. Finally here's a sneak of the
mini book I've been making:



See you tomorrow for another WOYWW.

4lbs!

I managed to lose 4lbs at Weight Watchers this week so with 1lbs last week I have lost a total of 9.5lbs in 3 weeks. That's brilliant I know but when you have as much weight as I have to lose it's nothing. Not sure this week is going to be good as I've had a bad weekend and an Indian takeaway tonight (did make healthy choices - Tandoori Chicken and Saag Aloo. It was delicious.
