Well..well...well

Morning folks.....what a strange week it's been.....here was me thinking it was summer and time to give the shorts and t-shirts an airing.....but the weather has had other ideas.....blimey one minute it's blue sky and brilliant sunshine and then it's snowing.....the world's going mad and after all the debacle this week of our political system....we have a new Government and am I excited by the prospect....not in the slightest....will it make any difference to you and me....I doubt it...as far as I can see they are all tarred with the same brush.
But there is a little glimmer of hope in this mad mad world...look what arrived yesterday....
yeeeee..haaaaaaa



these Tim Holtz goodies....I have been trying to hunt these beauties down for ages.....everywhere I went it was the same old....out of stock....pre-order....awaiting stock...so frustrating until I found them on QVC....quite by accident I might add....and you can get them too.....they will be featured today on the Sizzix show today at 11.00am.....so if like me you have been frustrated at not being able to get your hands on them.....get over there now...because they are sure to sell out.
The item nos are 589401...589402...589403 and 589404
And what am I doing today....still in Timmy mode I'm afraid.....getting all inky and mucky with TH's fabulous Distress Inks...can't show you the finished articles but hey no harm in a little sneaky peek or two...



can you see a theme going on here?
I have been pondering for quite some time with a bit of a personal problem.....well no point in beating about the bush and trying to dress it up with fancy words....I have put on a bit of weight around the old middle....in fact struggling to get the zip up on my jeans to be honest.......middle age spread one friend suggested... ah I fear not.....if the average life span is three score years and ten (70)....I think it fair to say that it is hardly likely to be middle age spread...call it what you will but it all boils down to the fact I am getting FAT......and it's not as though I don't get any exercise...three one-hourly walks a day with the furry boy keeps me fit although at times it darned near kills me when I don't watch where I'm going and take a tumble.   I eat healthily....lots of fruit and veg and this would be a typical lunch time snack followed by a yogurt......

one of my favourites...smoked salmon with just a teeny bit of honey and mustard dressing.....OK the cheese is a bit of an indulgence and is loaded with fat but hopefully offset by the tomatoes and grapes.....so...
 WHY OH WHY....
have I now developed a spare tyre that wouldn't look out of place on the back of a 4x4 or indeed hanging from the side of a ship......any suggestions will be gratefully received

Catch up with you all tomorrow for a sneaky peek of my Penny Black Saturday DT card which I haven't made yet by the way so instead of pondering being an old fatty.....I should get on with the job in hand.
