AWOL and early releases.....

I will not be around much for the next 4 days as it is

the yearly in-law camp out in  our backgarden.

It's going to be pretty quiet this year I think only 9 of us.

But then we do only have one toilet ....so it's

probably for the best!

Anyway have decided I would do my new releases early this

week so you can get a few extra days

with them in the 50% off sale

at Stitchy Bear Stamps.

This week I have gone for some of my favourite

indoor flowers.....orchids!

Phalaenopsis and Slipper orchid

are both available at Stitchy Bear Stamps.

The 50% off sale is on until Monday.

So if you have had a chance to grab a bargain

and there is something you fancy.....

Pop by and have a wee browse.

Have a great holiday weekend.

We are awaiting a large trampoline delivery today!

So expect some mad photo's next week!

I decided it was about time to have some mad monsters

and so we have Stripey Sock and Spotty Dotty.

Both are very friendly if a little mad.

They can be found hanging out at

Stitcht Bear Stamps.

This may have something to do with

the fact I have monsters in my

electricals at the moment

1. Car had to go into garage to replace track

rod end on Thursday

2. Hoover finally died

3. Fridge /Freezer has gone bang...

Well things are supposed to happen in 3's!!!!

Will be back later

It's other half Birthday today

40th indeed

without a fridge I've opted for lunch out with a few friends.

We had a wonderful meal with my folks yesterday

at Wildings - Maidens....

If you live near by always a great place to go!

Thanks Mum and Dad. x
