Good morning peeps,
I had a lovely day pottering in the garden yesterday, it was beautiful, sunny & hot and so nice to be outside, well it was until I had hysterics as I felt something in my hair and it was a flipping spider & I'm not talking a tiddler here neither. As I knocked it out my hair it landed on my shoulder and ran! I wasn't sure where it was heading other than towards my neck but quick as a flash I'd whipped my top off & ran inside shrieking. My god didn't that hurt my shoulder but by then I was far more concerned about where that beast was & I was bent double in the kitchen, hair untied and was frantically running my hands through my hair making sure he hadn't gone back in among my curls. I never did find it so hopefully he is still somewhere in the garden, or better still moved next door to live with one of my neighbours lol.
Today is new challenge day at

Next up I have a midway reminder that our

is running for one more week.
These little bookmarks are so quick and easy to make all you need is some extra large paperclips, nesties and of course a sweet Tilda or 3 :)
When I made these I realised that not only are they quick and easy peasy bookmarks but they could also be used as embellies on SMASH book pages :)
I'm entering my bookmarks in the following challenges -
Fairytale - anything metal, Frosted Designs - office supplies, Fussy & Fancy - back to school, Just Magnolia - pretty in pink, Tilda's Town - back to school, 4 Crafty Chicks - back to school, Crop Stop - back to school, Crazy Amigo - back to school, Lollipop Crafts - back to school.
