Another Numptie Moment...

Morning folks...it's been a week of numptie moments and that's the truth...the embarrassment of flashing my big girl knickers...forgetting a couple of birthdays requiring a quick trip to the Post Office with the "never going to get there in time" cards and the return of a parcel containing the biggest numptie moment of them all.
Remember this from yesterday....
a little secret shopping spree...a "cheer me up" guilty pleasure moment to boost the morale after failing miserably last week in the Crafty Olympics and oh boy has it jumped up and well and truly bitten me on the bum...it would seem that we already have his twin brother residing in the cubbyhole.  Well this was certainly "blow me over with a feather" news to me...I can't for the life of me remember buying this...just goes to show that the new die-cutting filing system ain't working as it should.
What a stroke of luck it was bought from Countryview Crafts...my first online stop for all things Timmie...great customer service and super duper speedy delivery and when I explained our cubbyhole dilemma to Susan...she probably had a good old snigger but there would be no problem exchanging the duplicate and there would be no extra postal charges to pay for sending the replacement...definitely my kind of shop...10 out of 10  Countryview Crafts for helping me to dig myself out of yet another numptie moment hole.
I'll leave you with another card and tags made with Craftwork Cards...gorgeous Christmas Ornaments Pad...for once lady luck was on my side...Tim's Stormy Sky Distress Ink was an exact match for the embellishments...


I'm intending keeping my head well and truly under the radar for the next few days...locking myself away in the cubbyhole well out of the way of those pesky numptie moments but The Furry Boy will be popping on to keep you company tomorrow...no doubt with his take on life in the cubbyhole.
Hugs Kath xxx

  12. Gorgeous card and tags again Kath.

    Not surprised about you buying the same thing twice. I've done that more than once. unfortunately the last time I did it I didn't realise for a while so I couldn't send it back for a swap! Last one was a die but I've done it with stamps too!

  15. Now these blues, whites & browns are rather special & love those tags. Glad you managed to salvage the numptie moment. It does happen - ever so easily.
    Hope the head down strategy works.
