Do you ever......

Morning folks....do you ever have a moment of madness.....what you think at the time is a bright idea and it turns into a nightmare...it all started on Friday morning when I was trying to hunt down some stuff that I knew was lurking somewhere in my "not as good as I thought" cubbyhole filing system and started to unearth lots of stuff that I am not going to use in the month of Sundays....so in my wisdom I decided to have a little clear out.   And this is where the little idea turned into a gigantic work in progress......two days later and I am still in a guddle...the cubbyhole looks like a bomb has landed and I am reeling with the shock of what on earth possessed me to buy the mirri and glitter card....the "hours to cut out" decoupage and hold on your galuses folks....the biggest shock of them all...the peel offs.    But as the saying goes "I've started so I'll finish" and the de-stash will soon be on it's way to some local clubs and crafty folks who make cards for charity...hopefully they can make some money out of my rash purchasing and the terrible habit I have of hoarding stuff just in case it comes in useful.....the really naff stuff will be going to the skip under cover of darkness.
But it hasn't been all work this week....I had a fun day out on Thursday with my two favourite hooligans....we took ourselves off to Alford... to the Transport Museum which is well worth a visit.

This is Big Mack....the snowplough that cleared the road from Alford to Strathdon....up over the notorious Lecht to Tomintoul....the highest village in the UK... during the 60's and 70's and was driven by Brodie and Oliver's Great Grandad....and how strange they are sitting exactly where he sat...Brodie struggling to see past the steering wheel and Oliver trying to get to grips with the ancient gear box.

then it was time to do some steam rollering......

a change of pace and time to let someone else do the driving...a trip on the Alford Valley Railway

great fun chugging along at 2 miles per hour with Brodie and Oliver waving at the golfers and all the folks just out for a stroll

It's great having a grandkiddie day out.....allows you to behave like a child again without folks thinking you have totally lost the plot.    And if like me you are a big fan of the Lord of Timmie Holtzness and all his crafty goodies....you can get some fabby bargains over at Craft Obsessions ....and perhaps the mammoth clear out wasn't such a bad idea after all.....will catch up with you all tomorrow for a fabby give-away from Fantastic Ribbons.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend....hugs Kath xxx
