Hello peeps,
Today is hubby's 50th birthday, obviously I am much younger than he is lol, and also Happy Birthday to our lovely Steph from Simon Says Stamp :)
This morning I am preparing to go into battle with a lots of insane women on a mission, who will stop at nothing to get to what they want regardless of which poor innocent victim is in their way, yes I'm off to a craft show with Ali lol. If it wasn't seeing lots of lovely goodies under one roof & I didn't want more 12x12 card I wouldn't bother after being almost knocked to the floor by a very large lady last time. It's so hard trying to keep my shoulder "safe" with all the pushing and shoving, I intended gaining about 5 stone so I can stand my ground a bit better ready for the next craft show lol, but as that hasn't happened I'm hoping Ali is really tired & grumpy today after she worked a night shift last night, Ali is the only person I know who can out rant me lol.
I've had a few quiet days popping the painkillers & floating around in my own little world as my shoulder pain is horrible at the moment so it really will be all out war if anyone barges into me today lol.
Today is new challenge day at
& this fortnight our challenge is a

I'm already looking forward to sitting down with a coffee & catching up with some blogging after I have finishedfighting politely shopping with other violent kind and considerate crafters lol.

Such a beautiful card Mandy. So soft and angelic, just perfect. Love the florals you added. When I am looking at it, I am seeing all the tiny additions you added to it. I am loving the corner and the bell too. I hope you had a good time, and nobody tackled you this time. Maybe shoulder pads and a helmet are in order! Seriously, hope your shoulder feels better.
