to do, to buy..

lookie what i want to take part in! one of my friends is setting up a local league and im so excited! my name is decided on and i need to buy some skates...which are not cheap. i was going to use blytheconUK profits for a new doll, but might need to change that to a starter pack for roller derby. *squee*

so much..

This last week has been truly exausting.
Thursday, 1am, we had a call to say M's grandad had passed away. Being Jewish, we all thought the buriel would be Friday. So thursday morning, i called work to say i wouldnt be in thursday or friday, and we all bundled into a car and drove for 2 hours to see his nanny and sort what needed to be sorted. But noone could decide who would issue the death certificate. Thursday turned into Friday, I went to work (exausted from a long day) and on coming home from work, M told me the funeral was to be Sunday. Our 1st Anniversary.

The funeral was very interested, from a non jewish perspective. It was pretty much all in Hebrew so i couldnt understand it, but it sounded beautiful as Hebrew is almost 'sung'.
We'd all spent 3 hours saturday night making rolls and sandwhiches and by sunday night, it was like the locusts had descended.

Last night, M went to bed at 8pm.

So our first anniversary has been written off, we got 3 cards from family and i got texts from 3 people. Im a little bitter that even my own family didnt appear to remember.

But on a positive note, a friend of mine is looking into setting up a Roller derby League! im so excited! ive been looking at skates online and trying to think of a cool roller girl name..i thought Skank Girl...i love ska music and the Tank Girl comics.

september

omg can you believe it is september already!!

ive just uploaded the next post for category stories so go and check it out. this month we're after 'an embarassing fact about me' (thats you), the prize this month being a $25 gift voucher for kittyrobot!

my LO is all about how i like to cut my husband's toenails! yuk i know but i like to know they're nice and clean.

scrappiness

i loved this photo of my sister and i on my wedding day (yes her tan is real). i felt it deserved a really simply LO. The paper and alphas are American Crafts.

and in the tradition i started, here's Pandora's first LO. Love those sassafrass alphas.

stuff

The girlies got some new hairbands from Little Miss Boutique.

i was upset that Asda no longer stocked my fave cool cherry tictacs. But all was forgiven when i saw these! Cherry and Passion! these babies remind me of our holiday in florida, as i went through packs of them.

and these are my lovely new boots, perfect for lazy people as they actually have a zip up the side.

lunch date

had a yummy lunch out with some workmates yesterday, in what felt like rare glorious sunshine. we had a little wander along the canal after and i took a few piccies...

here's a little scrapping i managed today. i also did a card and something exciting but those will have to be secret for a little while yet.

Eleora Dorrit came back from her spa. i love her new natural look, and these green chips look amazing IRL. now she just needs her hair sorting!!

on saturday i went to bristol for a dolly meet. there were only 7 of us but we still had plenty of dollies for the picture! there are even 2 Amaryllis; my Pandora and another.

there hasnt really been much for me to blog about recently, hence severe lack of posting. and i apologise. hopefully i'll get some scrapping done this week.

she's here!

say hello to Pandora Nyx. All my new girls have names from fairies. so L to R we have: Elidee, Maeve, Pandora Nyx, Mab and Bella. Elidee, maeve and mab were named after fairies in Jim Butcher's 'Harry Dreseden' series, and Nyx is another name for a sprite. Bella wasnt named from Twilight, she came first for me.

also missing is Eleora Dorrit, who should be back from the spa soon.

and for your viewing pleasure, this pile of crochet hats will be coming to BlytheconUK with me.

a new month, a new challenge at category stories. This month we are challenging you to '-----is my sunshine'. Enter on our blog for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate for Shabby Chic Crafts!
