Hello peeps!
OMG it's got so cold again here in the South West! I got home from work about 9.30pm last night, hubs was tucked up in bed, Gareth was tucked up in bed & my house felt like a fridge!!!
We haven't had hot water since last Thursday & a gas engineer finally arrived to "fix" the boiler yesterday while I was at work, only he needed to order a new valve for it so couldn't fix it. Jodie told him he had to text me & tell me as I was so looking forward to soaking my poor shoulder in a nice hot bath after work & I'd been ranting for days about how I was missing my baths & didn't like showers, but he wasn't brave enough to text me lol. Not only did he not fix my boiler but the stupid man switched the timer off so the heating hadn't been on all day / evening, & hubs & Gareth had gone to bed as they were so cold but neither realised the heating wasn't on!
Thank goodness I am a woman & blessed with the common sense required to realise the heating wasn't on & rectify it by clicking a switch lol.

It's Wednesday which means ..........
at
& this week our challenge is
My lovely teamies and I are featuring
products on our cards this week, if you have any we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to enter our challenge.
Don't forget you can enter our challenge 5 times and there is no limit to how many challenges you combine your entry with.
Do you use Instagram ? If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.
Crafters Companion very kindly sent my lovely teamies & I two packs of Spectrum Aqua Markers to play with this challenge.
If you like to colour with distress inks you will love these Aqua Markers. They are easy to blend & come in a fab range of colours.
I however have not done them justice by attempting to colour a sweet Tilda with them! I am not at all happy with how little Tilda turned out & wish I'd stuck to an image of some nice easy flowers for my first play with them. That's just typical of me though I have to do things the hard way lol.
As always our lovely Heidi is sponsoring our challenge with a $50 voucher for the fabulous
AND Spectum Noir will also be giving away an Aqua Markers set of the winners choice to one lucky winner !
I only have two more shifts to work and I am on holiday for a week :) I spent my weekend off reorganising my little downstairs craft room & it's taken much longer than I expected as I just hadn't realised quite how much stash I still had stored in there. I just need to tweak my storage organisation a little and I'll be happy with it again.
That's me finished for today peeps, thanks for stopping by
This is very pretty, Mandy!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Mandy and your colouring is fab! You don't see it the way the rest of us do!!
