added a poll

ive added a poll for the week. i had my invoice for mango and guava but am unsure if i actually want both girls. help! the photo is on this post. mango has the orange hair, guava the pink.

edit: oops i pressed the pay button. so im getting both but might not keep both.

sketch 43

seeing as tomorrow i will be at university scared and nervous about an assessment, i though i would share sketch 43 from twisted sketches with you now.

i was really pleased with this one! scrap mojo is still on holiday but showing itself every now and then.

im a wee bit nervous about my assessment on wednesday. there's no way i can describe it but it's like a scenario where i have to walk in and assess a child, but it has to be done in a certain order. i had funny dreams about it last night.

I would much rather be playing Final Fantasy XII.

for some inspo, how about this cute album in a guest post by Katie Pertiet on ali edwards blog. she used name badge holders. how cool!

new stash ideas

i have decided i am in a scrapping rut. i look at at the papers out there and am not feeling any of them at the moment. i have decided what i would like is a kit to kick start my mojo again, and im after some suggestions. i have a few sites saved but again, none are inspiring me. i used to love the variety from Sweet Spuds but they closed and as far as i know, remain so.

Your mission, blog readers, is to find me something to get the creativity flowing again.

(all help greatly appreciated.)

new car!

here's my new baby! i love love love it! although i did feel a bit guilty leaving the old one at the garage.

sketch 41 is up at twisted sketches. this isnt a great scan but as you can see, my Lo is about Alice in Wonderland.

i should finally be picking my car up tuesday. if you want a new car and are impatient, buy off the forecourt. it takes forever if the car isnt in the country.

nothing else happening here. a friend of mine is pregnant which is exciting, but other than that, its all quiet on the western front!!

*apologies for those who are not interested in Blythe, but i had to share these cute outfits i found in PickleLilyPie's etsy.

*AND my new car cleared customs this week so i should hopefully have it next week. more yay!

fingers crossed

i preordered these girls months ago and the final pics are out. arent they cute! loving Mango (L). fingers crossed i get my order as the last 2 i've had have not gone through.

i went to london..

on saturday i went to london and.....


looked at pretty porcelain in Fortnum and Masons..



....bought yummy macaroons from Laduree...

..wandered around side streets, admiring buildings, got excited when i finally found Chanel (for when i can finally afford the 2.55 bag) and worried i would get a parking ticket due to unclear street signage....

spur of the moment days are fun.

a category and a sketch

its new category time over at category stories, with our guest this month being amy lapi! the prompt for this month was '---was one of her very best friends'. my Lo is about my friend nicole and how we always pick up where we left, even though we dont see each other much any more.

I also doubled up this LO for sketch 39 from twisted sketches which used the twist 'fabric'. As you can see, my flower embellies use the twist.
