Puppies!

Ok, so i'm still chasing my tail, still having to schedule posts when i have a quiet minute to do them.  Everyone seems to be having an afternoon nap, well everyone except me! 

The packing is going well ... but, i've managed to pack all my kitchen scissors!  Only got my craft stuff, the dining-room, Andy's PC and the shed to go, with 17 days left to do it in!

Yesterday, whilst packing some of the kitchen items away Mali decided to jump in my big saucepan.  Guess what we had for dinner last night LOL!

Dad Update ~ his appointment went well, after we eventually got in there 2 hours after the allotted time!  Anyhow, we're still none the wiser as to whether its spread or not.  The CT scan shows something on his pelvis but its inconclusive and he wanted to get someone else to take a look at the photos.  They can't be too concerned cos he next appointment is 8 weeks away ... so thats gotta be good surely!

Altered Nesquik Tub

I needed a box to put some chocolates in that i'd made for our friends birthday.  I didn't want to use my cardstock so decided to root around in my recycle bag in the kitchen and this is what i found ....
After having a little fiddle with some paper and cutting some flowers out of a scrap peice of leather this is what it looked like ....

I used:~
DP's ~ Summer Driggs
Sentiment ~ Create with TLC
Ribbon & Buttons ~ Stash
Hook & Eyes ~ Stash
Peel off lines ~ Stash
Tools ~ Hippie Chic Alpha Die (for flowers), Cuttlebug, Eyelet setter


... and to finish it off i added some handmade Rolo's made with Cadbury's Dairy Milk that worked so much better than the Galaxy chocolate all tied up in a cello bag with some raffia.
