Simon Says Stamp DT Card & A Soggy Taunton!

Hello lovely peeps,

I am so late with my post today, it's been one of those crazy days where I haven't stopped, pretty much all of Taunton is flooded & more heavy rain and gales are forecast for the next few days. So many people are flooded out already, my poor mum is in a flood area right in the town centre near to Morrisons where the first picture was taken, there is a car park under all that muddy water believe it or not!
It's so sad the way the filthy flood waters ruins peoples homes :(
Here are some piccy's I snagged off friends facebook pages.

Thankfully we live on the outskirts of town on the lower hills so we are usually safe as it runs off the hills past us and down into the town but for the first time ever my garden flooded which was a bit of a shock this morning when I let the dogs out at 6am! Jester loved splashing about on my patio / swimming pool, I had a sudden panic thinking "craft room" as my craft room is downstairs facing the backdoor so I ended up out in the pouring rain in my PJ's, coat & welly's trying to see if anything was preventing the water running round the side of the house and down the front steps into the street which it usually does, but I think it was just the sheer amount of rain as it had poured down all night so it was not only from the sky but also running down from the field behind our house.
I think I'd best take my Tilda's upstairs to bed just to be on the safe side lol.

Today is new challenge day at
SIMON SAYS STAMP
& this week we have a
SKETCH CHALLENGE 

My lovely teamies and I are featuring Stamps Happen this week, if you have them we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to come and play in our challenge :)

The super cute Cheerful Snowmen stamp I've used is a very large stamp so to make these little cuties fit in with the sketch I have fussy cut one snowman off each end and moved them closer together by popping the little one holding the tree behind the row of snowmen and the snowman with the wreath infront of the row of snowmen. The blue paper on the middle panel is Melissa Frances crepe paper which I thought would make a change as it has a lovely texture.

As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 in store spending spree in the faboulous

That's me done for today peeps, & done in actually lol. I have a feeling for the frst time in a ages my insomnia may be cured tonight as I'm fighting my eyes while I'm finishing my post which is so not like me, usually I am springing into action whizzing around with my polish at midnight and that's only because everyone objects when I get the urge to hoover so late, I think I'm very considerate by not hoovering, I just quietly polish away instead lol.
Thanks for stopping by
