MY BLOG BUDDY HAS SPENT MY MONEY

Hi Everyone

I hope your bank holiday Monday is going well.

We are gutting the bathroom ready for a "make-over" beginning next week.

We have been nursing a bath with a crack in it for 2 years now and the time has finally come when we are going to completely gut and re-do the whole bathroom. No more risking the bath finally giving in and trapping our tender parts!!

Hubby took a little breather part way through (slacker!!) - so I took a crafty break and this is what I created:

This used:

Image: Stampendous! V126 "Happy Couple"
Sentiment: Stampendous! J180 "Mr. & Mrs."
Backing paper: Funky Hand download "Hearts and Flowers"
Punches: Martha Stewart "Fond" and X-Cut "Medium Flower"
ProMarkers
Brads, gems, ribbons and stickles from the stash box

Now my post title today was "My Blog Buddy has spent my money". I say this because I received this image in a RAK from a great Blog Buddy a few weeks ago and I loved it so much that when I saw the stamp sitting on a little shelf in a craft shop yesterday I just had to buy it.

Right back to it. I can hear gripper rods being ripped up. How on earth we are going to cope without various parts of the bathroom for two weeks I have no idea .. .. .. but it will be worth it in the end I'm sure.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

Love Jules xx

    I was wondering what that post title meant. LOL Great card. Good luck with the bathroom re-do. I think you should make a mini album with progress pics in the shape of a tub... or a toilet.... :)

    I really like this card Jules. Lovely simple image with just the right amount of 'cute/humour'. Lovely shades of mauve too.

    Good luck with the bathroom. Been there and done that a couple of times. Not much fun but as you say worth it in the end.

    Lovely card, Jules! Good look with the bathroom. When we had ours done it took a lot of work. Buy lots of deodorant and make sure your mates don't mind if you pop round for a shower!!! My worst moment was when I was sat on the loo with the wall missing and Meg opened hte front door to a complete stranger!!!

    Oh Jules, you are making me quake, we need to replace our bath as well, and the thought of all that mess is troubling me no end, not sure when it will get done as we rent and you know what landlords are like, they will put it of as long as they feel they can. Anyway love, love the card, and the image is fantastic. With love and hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxx
