normal service resumes.

we have the internet back!! yay!!! i just have to try not to spend too much time on it now...

heart

i love my new blog.

that is all.

wow

look at this fabulous kit from crafty templates. if i wasnt seriously broke this month i would be buying it straight away!

forgot to say..

look at these lovelies! i got the cake stand, tea cups, sugar bowl and cream jug for my birthday from marcus and my mum. the set is by Portmeirion and is very lovely IRL.

my 15 minutes.

The lovely vicky has done a spotlight on me on her blog! so have a little look and if you like what you see, leave a comment and you could win this little giveaway. open to international too!.


today i also managed to do a little scrapping, non dolly related! first is sketch53 for twisted sketches. it doesnt go live until tomorrow but my unreliable internet access means im putting it up today..
my second Lo is getting to be a tradition. the birthday card on. tags are from shabby chic crafts, single button onthe bottom left is from kittyrobot.

this sucks.

so im very sorry for my continuing absence. the reason for this is we recently tried to change internet providers and each time there was an issue at the telephone exchange. we found out today (3 days before our new internet was supposed to go through) that the exchange our number is routed through does not support broadband. great. so im currently sat in the library, getting my internet fix. you dont realise how much you rely on internet until it isnt there!!

so during this brief foray into the internet world, i can inform you that the new prompt is up at category stories (i was unable to take part due to this unreliable internet business). go check out the fab LOs and play along with 'the best kind of fun'. Prize kindly donated by our very own Aranka.

and here is my sketch for sketch 51 at Twisted Sketches..

sun today

yes thats right, the UK is finally warming up! hoorah!! i sat outside for all of an hour and i have a nice uneven tan line.

i did my LO for next weeks Twisted Sketch....im early?! scandal!

took some fabby cute blythe photos with my packfilm polaroid..

finished my book..

added a couple more dolly hats to my etsy..

and have been given the good news that, seeing as my uni course has been pulled and im halfway through, im being funded to apply for the remainder wherever i want! now i was thinking of seeing if i could get away with some exotic study, say, australia or america, but that might be pushing it.

absent

sorry for the long silence, i have been busy revising for uni assessments. Now they are over i just have to look forward to the resits! (as im pretty sure ive failed at least one of three). Unfortunately i wont find out for a couple of weeks :( ive been revising so hard i completely forgot it was my week for Twisted Sketches. Luckily Anam was ok so i'll pick up the slack next time!

in the meantime here's a couple of B pics. one is my new dolly Mab with her new set of dark blue wide eye chips..



and here's Maeve in a new dress from MimsyBueneo.. It's my birthday in a couple of weeks and our social calender is looking busy, so hopefully i can share some non dolly pics with you all!

coming soon...

in 24 days i will be 27. what a scary thought. so i thought i could use this post as a 'what i have my eye on' list...

im not a big fan of flowers on scrapbook LOs, but i might make an exception for these pretties:

prima umbrella flowers
prima centres


hmmm im struggling. it appears i dont actually want anything specific!!


possibly also the big bang theory season 3, seeing as it stopped halfway through over here!! but that isnt until september..

or some Princess Sara blythe shoes..

this is harder than i thought.....

the new prompt is up over at category stories! this month we're doing 'a week in the life', similar to the project by ali edwards. head on over to the blog for the full lowdown, including a prize of a AU$20 voucher for country papercraft.
