fake baking (pic heavy)

fake because i used ready made gingerbread dough. only because gingerbread takes sooo long to make..well, it does when i do it.


and here's a cute photo of my boys i want to share..

new kittyrobot kit is up, called chinatown wonderland. check it out here .

the american crafts blog is still showing CHA sneaks. the moda bella range looks fab,

as does this from the romance range..

relief..

that i have finished nights for now.

it was pretty scary though; we have a new lady who is supposed to be a senior nurse who doesnt seem to have a clue about pretty important things...like NEVER leaving a ventilated patient unattended to wander off to the other side of the room (in case they move and dislodge their breathing tube for sarters), NEVER flush adrenaline down a line as the tiniest amount can have a massive effect on blood pressure. pretty big things you're told on day 1 in ITU. scary scary.

on a brighter note, igot my dvd of amelie today.

check out the american crafts blog for new CHA sneaks ...
moda bella..

everyday...

and travel..

im so ick.

• not unwell, just gross. im working nights starting tonight and cant be bothered to get dressed as im going back to bed just after 2. so it's lunchtime and im still in my pjs. classy.
• looking at chipboard by riff raff designs but cant decide what to get! too much choice.

sharing

a thank you card i made...

and a layout cutting squares from my birthday cards


also been on the hunt for shoes to match my new dress. finding navy or green shoes is really hard! i found these in blue by irregular choice, but they look really hard to walk in!

july sneak

take a peek at the July Qtea kit sneak. looks good enough to eat! as usual, Danielle has limited quantities to contact her quick if you want one!!

proud.

i have just watched Trooping the Colour on tv and i have to say, it makes me proud to be British. for anyone who doesnt know, TtC is a military display to celebrate the Queen's official birthday. the 'colour' is a battalion's flag and was originally 'trooped' or displayed, so that members of that battalion would recognise it. the flag was also used as a meeting point.

watching it always makes me feel emotional and gives me goosebumps! it's so colourful and impressive, especially the 21 gun salute and the end, and when the crowd moves in front of Buckingham Palace to see the Queen.

supposedly some organisation like the UN or something like that want a referendum as to whether we should get rid of the monarchy. no way i say. be proud!

in other news, Save Polaroid tshirts are available here to buy.

£1.18!!

popped into town with my mum on another wedding cake hunt (they're so expensive!!!) and 'had' to go into a craft shop, where i bought a trimmer, some sticky roll and this bargainous alpha stamp set for £1.18!!

then of course i had to go into Primark, everyone's favourite bargain, but probably not very ethical, clothes shop, where i found this dress. technically i dont need anymore dresses, but this 'swooshed' when i turned and made me feel pretty. £15!
those eagle eyed Sex and the City girls will have spotted it's likeness to this number...

some creativity

yesterday in the (brief) sunshine, i sat outside and read Ali Edwards Life Artist and got inspired. so here's 2 layouts i did using a couple of Disney photos...



i also had another crazy lie in til 11 today and felt like i needed to stay in bed longer. goodness knows what i'll be like tomorrow when im on days and get up at 530!

10:45??

woke up at 10:45! i feel so naughty! like a teenager again. im blaming late onset jetlag, made worse by night shifts. but it was proper deep sleep, which was a miracle considering how sticky it was last night.

check out new american crafts glitter letter stickers in 3 different fonts.

also, i love how inspiring this photo by elise blaha is, espcially as i need to start a florida album at some point.

on another note, the birds have finally left our loft. hooray!!! this sad little eggshell greeted me friday morning. so now i have to contact the pest control people to get them to fill up the holes and make our loft unappealing for them next year. if we're here next year (so so desperate to move).

ick

i dont want to go to work tonight. i slept really well and dont feel jetlagged...just tired. at least i have the opportunity for more sleep today. poor marcus was up at 7 (and making so much noise i had to put in ear plugs and my eye mask on).

it was nice to go to bed with Tom around again. i tend to go to sleep on my side and his favourite thing is actually balancing on my side and going to sleep with me. bless.


now if any of you have any funds left after bills have gone out, check out the june kittyrobot kit. its totally fab, called 'i dont wanna grow up' and available here for $10 plus max $5 shipping.
