Good Afternoon All,

Well I reckon I have had a cold for going on 3 weeks and have not been able to make anything for almost as long!  Emailing and Blogging I can do hehe, but when I have sat down to craft…….. NOTHING is working and my nose is running like a tap that I just give in and crawl in bed with my lappy and usually a dvd as well as a sleeping hubby beside me hehe, OH and a box of tissues!  It’s not that the ideas are not there, as I have so many and all the challenges and DT work I have missed because of it got to me…  So last night I said NOPE that’s it I will beat you cold!  Both my younger 2 Heidi and Chloe are sick too, Chloe was up most of the night and is in my bed watching a DVD but sleeping on and off, soooo not her and just proves how ill she is feeling, and this is the first time she has let me out of her site for more than 10 min so typing very softly, hehe!  And my eldest is at camp and I am sooooo hoping she comes home ok, tomorrow will tell!

SO after all that waffle….. The challenge at Lil Lolita Boutique Challenges this week is…..

And very crappy weather, sorry no other words for it, so photo is not 100% perfect!

And this is my VERY late What’s on your Work Desk Wednesday, another thing I was going to post about BUT never got to.  Now this is not really crafty but this is when I ‘WAS’ trying to make a card with no mojo and every time I went to grab ribbon etc I would have something latch onto my hand …..

Wyatt, he just loves being with me and all you can hear is the puuurrrrr.  And do you want to know what would happen if I turned my back on him or walked out of the room to grab something….

Such a cheeky lil bugger isn’t he!

Thanks so much for stopping by and take care…THINK PINK…

Good Afternoon,

I will be back very soon with my Tickled Pink Stamps Monthly Challenge card, but I do remember one thing I forgot to add yesterday in my post.  I seemed to be missing my cardmaking mojo and Wednesday night I was trying and trying to get my Lil Lolita Boutique Challenge card done and it was just NOT working!  So I had an idea but it was almost 2am and dragged myself off to bed thinking will get the card made on Thursday……. Well as you know I got the biggest surprise and that just didn’t happen as planned.  BUT I still wanted to let you all in on the challenge and if you bought some Lil Lolita Digi’s then please come and join us this week.  Speaking odf there are only about 5 still left to order, all the rest SOLD OUT to the limit and then second limit I set, WOOT WOOT what a FABULOUS sale! So the challenge is…..

BLING IT…… Lots of sparkle, can be in the paper, can be some brads or rhinestones can be the added touch of pearls, can be glitter, dazzling diamonds I mean you name it, if it blings your in! And the prize this week is…..
