Tilda as Lucia - Simon Says Stamp DT Card & Mini Candy Winner

Good morning peeps,
I had one of those days yesterday where I couldn't stay awake for very long. I tried catching up with some emails & blogging but Zzzzzz, I went all the way to America shopping in my favourite crafty store & somewhere among the Prima flowers it happened again Zzzzzz, I know America's a long way to pop in an afternoon but I was enjoying filling my cart up lol. I woke up being hit by Georgie (cat) very confused as it was dark except for the light in the dragons tank and I wondered what on earth was going on , it took a while to realise Georgie was bopping me wanting his tea, what a waste of a day, a big fat nothing achieved. I had planned to spend time in my craft room while hubby was at work but after I had slept pretty much most of the day away I was too tired to do anything, how does that work for goodness sake! I hear of other people who feel refreshed after a good sleep, well not me I just want more lol. Give me back my insomnia any day at least I get loads done lol.

Today is new challenge day at
& this week it's that old favourite

My lovely teamies & I are showcasing ECHO PARK papers this week.
.

Don't forget to keep an eye on the STORE BLOG for a chance to see the new goodies in store, inspiration and give aways galore :)
OMG have you seen the Tim Holtz distress marker pens that will be in store soon, I just know I am going to "need" them lol.
I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
Magnolia Down Under - inspired by my National flag (red, white & blue), Deep Ocean - sparkling/glitter, Cards & More - bingo (top row), Heart Song Inspirations - red & white &/or ribbon, Make It Monday - anything goes, Stamps & Fun = Creativity - Nadell's sketch, Cupcake Inspirations - inspirational piccy, Sentimental Sundays - die cuts, Card Makin' Mamas - something old (stamp & papers), Chocolate, Coffee & Cards - glitter, Fussy & Fancy - let it snow, Inspire Me Fridays - link-up party
Have any of you noticed I'm a big girl now? I can just about use a sewing machine now yaaaayyyyyyy, I can only do straightish lines but that's good enough for me for now, one day I may get really brave and attempt circles and possibly even ovals lol. 

I've just remembered my mini candy so rather than write down names of everyone who wanted to be entered which would take ages, I entered the comments number into Random.Org and typically after counting to almost the bottom of the comments list the lady who's number came up hadn't asked to be entered so I clicked it again and this time it picked -
number 17

Congrats hunny, please email me your full name and postal addy moominstacey@live.co.uk and I will pop your stamp in the post to you.

There are a few days left to enter my blog hits candy if you would like to and haven't already :)
Thanks for stopping by
