PARTY TIME !

Hi Everyone

Here at last!!!

I have been to my Mum's this afternon so am running late .. .. again !!!!!

You will be pleased to know that the removal of the wall unit last night went much better than we envisaged .. .. we managed to inch it out gradually .. ... but it took quite a while.  Which meant hubby didn't get his haircut!!   (... and yes there was loads of dust and cobwebs .. .. but no spiders .. that we know of!!)

So I have had to do haircutting duties tonight .. .. which delayed me still further (and what an effort it was too).  Never mind he looks a smarty pants again now so that is good.

But round now to today's mega quick share .. ..






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1445K" Partying
Sentiment:  Studio G "Party Time!"
Backing Papers:  My Minds Eye (free with a magazine ages ago)
X-Cut Punches:  Flowers and butterflies
Martha Stewart Punch:  Frond
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Chalks
and just for a change .. .. Fruit Punch Stickles!!!

and that is me for today .. except to share some exciting news!!!

I won first prize over at the St Luke's Charity Challenge .. .. such a lovely stamp set .. .. I will post it when Mrs Postlady delivers it.  I can't wait to play with it!!!  Thank you ladies xx

Here is my lovely award too which I shall put on my side bar as a little reminder to myself and everyone else of the existence of this wonderful challenge.  To read more about it please click here.


The challenge has just started for August and I am currently scratching my head .. .. but I'll get there one way or another.  The theme is "Oh I do like to be beside the seaside".  I hope you get chance to join in too .. .. it is for such a good cause. 

OK .. so that is me for today.

I will try really, really hard to be earlier tomorrow.

Enjoy what is left of this evening.

Love

  12. Hi Jules
    Sounds like you've been having good fun!! Glad you got your unit moved OK with no Spiders!! and Hubby got his haircut.
    Your cards are wonderful as always. I love the LOTV chappie from a previous post and your little butterflies on this one just make it perfect.
    Don't work too hard and I hope you've missed the storms tonight. We've just been watching the storms in York on the tele, hailstones the size of rugby balls. We had rain and a rumble but that was all thankgoodness.
    Hugs Lisax

  13. Hi Jules, I do like this stamp, in fact I like all the PB hedgehog stamps as they are such cute little characters. Love the little butterfies, a nice touch. Good news about your wall cabinet & even better news about your win on St Lukes C.C. I just popped over to have a peek at your card & it's a worthy winner, congrats.
