A load of waffle....

Morning folks...I'm in a waffle kind of mood this morning so pop the kettle on...find a comfy sofa and indulge the old girl while I get a few things off my chest.  After weeks of planning and preparation...just one more day and I'll be kissing goodbye to those darned lists for a while....yes the big day is almost here and without tempting fate...it looks like it's all come together nicely.  Just one more dashing around day...off to The Papeterie this morning to meet up with my lovely buddy Debbi  to set up..a trip to Costco to stock up on lots of lunch yummies for our lovely Girls Just Want To Have Fun crafters....grab a quick bite to keep the old energy levels up...check and double check all the supplies before packing up the car tonight and will I be having a feet up chill out with the telly kind of a night.  Doubt it because I have a problem that no amount of list making or forward planning can solve...my hair...that unruly mound of bird's nest material that sits atop my head has suddenly decided to do it's own thing....sticking out at odd angles and taking me ages to get under control in the morning...do I leave well alone and go for the clapped to my head on one side-just got out of bed look or the minute it sees the hairdryer-big hair Wurzel Gummidge look.  I've been blessed with the type of hair best suited for stuffing a mattress...the kind that goes into a frenzy of fizz the minute it comes into contact with moisture...they do say that your hair thins out considerably as you get older...do I have to wait until I look like Methusalah before I can get up in the morning and just go.
But I am hopeful that I may have found the solution for another of my problems...yes another of those old age thingies...my eyesight...was thinking that perhaps the crafty specs just needed a darned good clean or is it to do with the lack of daylight on these dark and dismal days....probably a bit of both but and if so there may just be some light at the end of the tunnel....a few weeks ago I received an e-mail from The Daylight Lamp Company...would I like to pop over to their online store and choose a daylight lamp to road test and voila he arrived at the cubbyhole earlier this week...

And I'm impressed so far...arrived in a sturdy box with lots of protective packaging so no danger of this boy being damaged in transit. However my heart sank when I spotted you know what...INSTRUCTIONS on how to put it together and you know me...I'm convinced I am missing an all important gene in the getting to grips  with instructions department...but can I manage this all on my own...if I can do it believe me anyone can.....so watch this space..

I've often thought of buying a daylight lamp for night crafting and those days when there's a lack of daylight but thinking about it was as far as I got....but now I have the chance to see what I've been missing....so I will be putting this boy through his paces and will be back to let you know how I get on....

In the meantime I leave you with a sneaky peek and will catch up with you all tomorrow for another challenge over at Penny Black Saturday..fingers crossed I get the posts finished off before the naughty boy...yes you know who I mean decides to have another strop.
