Late night cropping and shopping!

Wow what a busy week!
I can't believe that its Sunday already. My list of things to do is HUGE even though I've done so much this week. Work has been mad busy but good fun. We've been sprucing the place up a little bit to make it more cosy for the residents and the result is great! The place really needs decorating... badly!!! So until that happens (we've been told in the next few months) we went out and bought lots of lamps, ornaments etc to pretty it up. Its amazing what you can do on a budget of a couple of hundred pounds! 3 lounges now looking very cosy and inviting.... so much so the residents don't want to go to bed!!!!
So work all week and then friday I picked Angie up and we headed to The Scrapbook Shop for a late night crop. It was the first visit since they moved to bigger premises and for some reason the sat nav decided it would take us through the centre of Durham (in rush hour!!!) to get there! NOT GREAT! However after much hyperventilating and a little swearing we got there. WOW the shop looks great! Loads of room and heaps more products... which is always good (or bad for my bank account!!!). So I had a little spend. Well not so little actually... ooooops!

A few (!!!) sheets of paper, delicious Prima blossoms, an album, crystals and some ribbon. The wooden letters spell HOPE and are for a wall art project.

I received my very first Bellaboo DT kit on friday morning so I took it along to make a start. It's a fab mix of products. New My Mind's Eye (swoon!) and a HUGE bag of buttons and In Stitchz templates... embroidery floss.... the list goes on! Its on sale 1st June so grab yours quickly as I really don't think they'll hang around for long. You can check it out on the Bellaboo blog!

So back to the crop... we scrapped, chatted and ate pizza! It was lovely to catch up with Darcy (we talked Facebook Farm Town!!!) and meet new people. Can't wait until the next one!! I even almost finished a layout which is a miracle as I am rubbish at crops. Seem to spend more time eating and chatting then scrapping :-)

Today I have my fabby friend Gillian over for Sunday lunch :-) So I need to have a quick tidy round and go shop! I'll pop back throughout the week with layouts as I have lots in progress and not much finished. Til then..... x
