Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge

Morning folks....can't believe it's Thursday already and I am way behind with the crafty list after taking time out to go and collect Mr Vagabond and I hope I'm not tempting fate again but he's been on his best behaviour so far....mind you I did threaten him with the Die Cutting Naughty Step if he as much as thinks about having a hissy fit.
I am going to have to work my socks off today so that I can join the billion folk watching the Royal Wedding on TV tomorrow....I really envy all the folks who will be lining the streets....the atmosphere will be electric and nobody does the old  procession pomp and pageantry thing quite like us Brits but as my invitation obviously got lost in the post I will just have to be content with waving my Union Jack and cheering from the comfort of the sofa.  And what will I be wearing to the wedding...well I have the perfect outfit....comfortable and trendy....yes my jammies and slippers but I may just look out one of those "only worn once" wedding hats....after all it is a rather special occasion.
And I'm in celebratory mood already....the shadow box is finished and woohoo it's perfect for the challenge this week over at Simon Says Stamp and Show.....

SHOW SOME BUTTONS
and you know me it's all or nothing...and take note each and everyone threaded...
no more slap dash crafting...

oops missed a couple of the little blighters....
No list of ingredients again folks....just heaps and heaps of bits and bobs from my Timmie Holtz stash

And if your invitation to the Royal Nuptials didn't arrive either.....pop over at 8.30am tomorrow and join me and some very special friends for our very own STREET PARTY celebration.
Hugs Kath xxx
Edited to add: sorry folks if you are a tad confused about whose blog you are visiting today....I've been having a play around with backgrounds....for a more summery look.....with oodles of crafty stuff to do what on earth am I thinking about

    I would never have spotted that one, teeny weeny button that wasn't threaded if you hadn't pointed the poor wee thingy out. LOL
    I am afraid my invitation got lost too, so the TV it is. Hoping I will be able to just LOOK at the dress and then go to my craftroom and play. We live un hope, don't we?

    Love the button box Kath.

    Had a little giggle at the thought of you in your jammies and a posh hat.

    Will be watching on TV too, probable get a better view anyway.

    A trip to hobbycraft on the cards for me to see if can get some of those bobbins.

    Have a good day.

    Kath, I love your sense of humour! I hope you'll share a photo of you in celebration mode!! ;-)
    Just think of that button as the naughty child of the family!
    Maybe hubby and I can catch up with Wills and Kate in Wales when we visit the UK in Oct.

    lol, I was wondering about that - could've sworn it was pink last night.
    Your shadow box is as amazing as the configurations box.
    See you soon

    love the finished box and agree that the buttons do look better when threaded! Thought I'd gone to the wrong blog at first then realised you had been remodelling! Mary G x

    Jarmies and a only wear once hat - now that would be a site to see!! You do just that and celebrate in style. It appears a lot of our invites got lost in the post - never mind hey, thank goodness for live TV.

    This shadow box is BEAUTiful!! Like WOW! You've used my favourite colours and each and every element looks so right. I would never have noticed that tiny button hadn't been threaded, you should have just kept schstum!!

    Thanks for sharing xo Lou.

    Well - I'm going to expect a minute by minute account from the jammie sofa - my invitation got lost too & we don't have a TV..... I have to say the buttons are better threaded & no....... don't even think about taking him off & threading him - leave him as a reminder that some of us are odd bods.........
    Much love & thanks for a lovely post.

    Just so you know, several of us Yanks are getting together for a Royal Wedding tea...only we are watching it on tape so we don't have to get up at 2am. I've made scones with clotted cream and lemon curd. You're all welcome to come!!
