I can’t say much, but keep an eye out at Toodles & Binks Blog for news over the coming weeks that is really very exciting.
I’m off in a short while to Caz’s SU Stamp Camp, fingers crossed that the weather is going to hold up, otherwise we will be in for a soaking as it’s in the garden!
Ohh, and happy anniversary to my Honey, we’ve been married 11 years today - sorry, I didn’t have time to make you a card yet, but you know I haven’t forgotten.
and he seems to work a treat. Really, well worth the money too. I got mine from Cre8tive Online - who actually giving purchasers’ the chance to win one this month!
Supplies:
Just to prove I can still do arty. Here’s the Charm to go with yesterday’s page. I wonder now if I should have done an arty page to go with it?
Supplies:
I used my new toy, the Making Memories 12×12 Paper Trimmer, which is so lovely. Is it me, or is there just an unrelenting search for a decent trimmer when you papercraft?
I’ve finished the charm as well, and will upload it tomorrow.
Well, that’s downright nearly killed me. I unwisely suggested to Guy that we buy a cycle rack for the back of his car, and then Toodles and I could do then the Tonbridge to Penshurst cycle path.
There’s a very long hill you have to go over to get to the Castle, and I really thought my whole life flashed before me at one point. Still, there is also a lovely descent with a beautifully (actually stunning) view of the castle, which made it all worthwhile.
Guy dropped us off in Haysden Country Park, and then drove to Penshurst, parked and walked to meet us with Dexta Dog.
The whole ride is just over 6 miles - which probably sounds like nothing to the fit readers of this blog - and took us just over an hour.
One advantage was that I think I have got the hang of the bewildering amount of gears my bike has, before today I just stayed in whatever gear it was in when I collected it from the shop, and didn’t have a clue how to change them. Thanks to a lesson from my lovely hubby, I now have a new skill!
Just scoffed down roast veggies and cod, followed by Eaton Mess with lemon meringues and Kentish rasberries, all washed down with a lovely rose. Only problem with all this outdoor stuff - it don’t arf make you hungry!
I confidentally expect not be able to walk in the morning, so I’m off for a nice bath and a rub down with the Craft Stamper.
done the front side of my charm, and just sticking round the Galaxy Dropz, it’s not too hard to do, but I have to wait for the Diamond Glaze to dry for each side.
In case you’re wondering what Dropz are, they are teeny tiny zoomz - and are perfect for edging, the centres of flowers etc.
I can’t tell you what a lovely place it was. The room really was that good, the staff friendly, and OMG the food - I have put on so much weight!
It was a really welcome break.
Toodles our 10 year old has also just arrived home from her residential holiday with the School, and again has had a fabulous time. Apparently, she’s only showered twice - no wonder she’s looking a bit grubby. They’ve just done so much with them: Dragon Boat Racing, Cannoeing, Archery, Fencing, Absyaling, Zip Wires, High Ball (no idea what that was) - for our sporty girl it’s just been a dream - and the best thing is she gets to do it all again next year.
This afternoon I’ve done not very much really, other than a bit of washing and light dusting, oh and started my charm and 4×4 page for the lovely Alison G , who’s been in hospital for the longest time, and is likely to be staying for quite a bit longer. Check out Flo’s blog for the details if you’d like to join in.
to the Peat Spade Inn in Hampshire, leaving the oldest kid at home holding the fort, and the youngest is off on a school trip to the Isle of Wight.
Any Galaxy orders will be processed on Wednesday when we get back.
which has had a fabulous new make-over. I only briefly looked, as I am hoarding some crafting mags (going to prop myself up on pillows, drink wine and read ‘em all). I believe there are some Zoomz on “give away” in there too, so grab a copy.
As an additional incentive, the mag has a sweet little acrylic strawberry stamp on the front (which will come in very handy), and what looked like a couple of nice projects using it inside - fingers crossed their give-away stamps will continue to be that nice.
I had a fabulous surprise yesteday afternoon, when Karen came bearing this lovely bouquet of Tulips, as a lovely little thank you for doing Molly’s bookie wook.
It came at a really welcome time, I’d had no lunch, and been fending off crap all day, and was just feeling really dispondent - so a bunch of flowers and a big hug made my afternoon.
You're intelligent and witty, yet surprisingly low maintenance.
