The Best Laid Plans

Morning folks....after weeks of working on demo and workshop stuff....the intention was to take off the "work hat" and have a little fun making some challenge cards but hey things didn't quite go according to plan and in the words of Rabbie Burns...."the best laid plans o' mice an' men gaun aft agley".
You may remember on Friday I set off on a little trip to Simply Create with the intention of buying just what was on my crafty list....so why is it the minute I step through the door my eyes hone in on anything that is new....and boy was I smitten when I saw this Hemp Cord.....

Perhaps a crafty chat...a coffee and a muffin with my lovely buddy Anne will distract me....not a bit....I was in "must have it" mode so ignoring the little man on my shoulder I threw caution to the wind and stocked up....9 metres of each colour on a card...an absoute snip at the price.
But enough of my willpower problems....back to the real reason for my shopping trip.  Just wanted to say a big cubbyhole thank you for all the lovely comments on my Hero Arts Week...so I threw all the names into Mr Random Thingy's hat and this cute cling set from Hero Arts 2011 catalogue......

and a selection of the Hemp Cord will be winging it's way to......
ALI
e-mail me with your address Ali and I will get the goodies off in the post tomorrow.

The other reason for my trip out to Simply Create was to pick up the parcel of goodies that my lovely buddy Tina brought along to the Demo Day.....in the hustle and bustle of packing up sadly it got left behind....check out the gorgeous cheer me up card....fabulous felt flower brooch and yummy chutney.....there were 2 jars but the beetroot chutney has gone down a storm with hubby...I knew I should have hidden it.....thank you so much lovely lady for your kindness....

 big hugs and snuggles to you and your Furry Bundles...

But there is a distinct lack of challenge cards....well we can blame it on another Furry Bundle....yes that sweet snuggly bundle of golden deliciousness decided he needs his very own customised set of cards to send out with his give-aways....what on earth is the world coming to..... 

all his own design and coloured in with the Aquamarkers that my lovely buddy Debbi gave me to play with.....oh dear I feel another crafty spend coming on.  And if you would like to receive one of the Furry Boy's exclusive cards then you need to join him bright and early on Tuesday morning because he has been rampaging through the cubbyhole filling his boots again.

Another of my new addictions....Seam Binding is back in stock at The Ribbon Girl in lots of gorgeous colours....

so get yourselves over there pronto because this stuff is much in demand and disappears like hot cakes.  The Ribbon Girl Blog are having a Seam Binding Give-Away on Tuesday 1st February so make sure you pay a visit to check it out and the lucky winner of Colour Challenge 4 will be announced tomorrow.

I'll catch up with you all bright and early tomorrow when I'll be sharing a fun project along with a tutorial and I've been playing with the Hero Arts again.
