Just a quickie today. We have to get Lauren and Alex packed and to the airport as they're flying home this afternoon. They're back over again in March, so not long until we see them. I've just about time to tidy up before they're back here. He may only be small, but boy can he make a mess! The lounge looks as though a tornado has hit.
I've just got time for a quick coffee break and to share this weeks Less is More entry. I managed some 'speed crafting' yesterday while trouble was out of the way.
We're on Week 108 and the theme is .....
PAPER PIERCING
Now this is something that I never think of doing on my cards, until I see it on someone elses. This is what I came up with ......
The cups, and the sentiment are both from a pretty little Stampin Up set called 'Tea Shoppe', and I've used Memento inks to stamp with.
Sorry it's a bit short and sweet, lots to do today. Once Lauren and Alex are on their way home, I have to get the spare room ready again. We have another visitor coming this weekend - my friend Sue (who I haven't seen in ages) is making her first trip to the island. Another weekend of sightseeing coming up. Let's hope the weather holds. It's been glorious the last few days, a bit on the chilly side though. We got a bit blown about at Peel Castle over the weekend.
Before my next visitor arrives I still have a few projects that need doing before the end of Feb. - no pressure eh! My Timmie tag being the most important one (I know, I can't believe I haven't done it yet either!) Hopefully I'll be back with it tomorrow, if I can get it finished, otherwise I'll be doing a bit of late night crafting and blogging - it's March on Friday (eeek!!).
Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your Wednesday.
Don't forget it's my day to post over on the Indigo Blu DT Blog This week, I've got a couple of my samples from the show at the weekend, to show you if you fancy a quick look later this afternoon. I'll see you over there later.
Cheerio for now
