Memories of Musical Chairs

on October 26, 2010

I LOVE party games!! – pass the parcel, pin the tail on the donkey, and of course, musical chairs! And when I saw this chairs stamp in Unity Stamps September KOTM, it instantly reminded me of the local Church hall, lined with chairs whilst the musical notes stopped and started, resulting in an inevitable pile-up of kids, clambering and fighting over the last chair. Ahh, the fun!

And all of this is ahead of me, when little bump comes out! ♥

Speaking of bump…we were so excited to have our 20w scan on Friday!
OH MY GOSH!
It was SOOO very crazy! Seeing the little hands and feet on the screen! Wriggling and turning this way and that way, taking our breath away! We watched the screen with amazement, mouths gaping whilst the sonographer marvelled at how cooperative our little one was being. She even called it ‘baby of the day!’. Oh, such a proud mama already!! 🙂 I promise I’ll have some pics to share real soon. Anyway, must reel myself in from all this swishy gooey stuff! ♥

So for now… a very humble product list for todays card.

Miss You Monday- An Orangey Time of Year…

on October 25, 2010

Well, there is no denying it!

Autumn is here!! YEAY! Now its time for pumpkins, hot soup, Irish Stew, spiders webs, and of course orangey stuff!

Monday and Tuesday of last week was sunny and freezing cold. Wednesday: rain, rain RAIN! I had to walk home and it was raining so hard that I got SOAKed to the bone, and nearly died laughing – one of those ‘if i don’t laugh, i’d cry’ situations – but it did give me a perfect excuse to jump into my PJs as soon as I walked through the door from work!!

And so all the excitement of the arrival of Autumn has sparked me to make a Miss You Monday card for Sarah. This time last year we went out to celebrate the arrival of Autumn, marked with Starbucks and a pumpkin picking adventure. I really do miss Sar when it comes to those kinda things.

but I’m sure she will love this card…especially the very sparkly pumpkins!

The stamp is from my Unity Stamps September KOTM and I love the way that the two pumpkins can be layered up to give great dimension. There are also really cute spirals coming from the pumpkin and to accentuate this, I have used some craft wire and wrapped this around a cocktail stick to make even more 3D spirals that POP right off the card!!

Check out the supplies list below if you want to see what i’ve used to make this card, but before I go, don’t forget that we have another giveaway this week!! Check out this post to see how you can WIN 2 Scrapbook kits! FabuLOuS! xo
