Weekend almost over

First a thank you for all your comments. Sure nice to read!

Gosh doesn't time fly by when you're having fun... My friend Verna - Leigh and I had a real girly day yesterday- shop til you drop! It was a blast - even with feet smoking at the end of the day ;p Verna-Leigh was looking for an outfit to wear to her son's wedding. We started in Puke at Caroline Eve's where Verna tried every single skirt they had..only about 30 or 40 skirts and some dresses for good measure too. But bought none- not for lack of trying, just the good looking ones were not 'formal' enough.
We learned heaps about what styles suited her and armed with that knowledge hit Manukau. No shop was safe from us ;p She was so lucky and found a gorgeous cute red/black dress with some sequins - is there another bling queen in the making? that was even decently priced. So having saved some $'s we had to drop in on a fashion jewellery shop to get a necklace and some earrings - definately a bling queen in the making! *coughs* fine I admit it I couldn't resist a little bling bracelet. Exhausted and happy I collapsed on the sofa at 7 pm or so;p
Woke this morning with a sore throat and slightly hoarse- what timing.. with a full weeks work coming up. That'll be interesting.
Finished Melissa's cj today and spend quite some time in bed today. Have to get me some meds tomorrow.

Oh thought you might like to see some LO's from scrap camp.
My first ever 1 hour challenge that I actually completed in 1 hour! Was thinking of working some more on it but then decided to keep it as a keepsake.






Another challenge LO - use 75% of product given. At first I was a bit put off by the frilly paper and the cream lace - not exactly teenage boy material...But the reverse side was nicely distressed so used that mainly, inked the lace and another cream ribbon black. Used 2 ribbons woven through holes at the top of LO and that grunge lace at the bottom. Then cut out some arrows - a gal gotta give into her obsessions sometimes;p Am happy with the result. Chris didnt complain about the lace and said it looks ok - so all's well.




Time for bed! Wish you all a great start to the week!
