Sweet nothings

take the test....

personality types A or B?

I got 82% - not good. However I comfort myself in the fact Mr Britguy will be off the scale... ;)

tell me what you get!

feeling sorry for myself...

When I fell over nine days or so ago with the combination of excitable puppy and wet leaves I got a bruise the size of africa on my hip/thigh. I landed heavily on my wrist and hurt that enough to grumble the following few days. And then, as all that faded, an ache around my lower side took centre stage. It keeps me awake. It makes me cry. It hurts. And today they confirmed I have bruised and cracked ribs.  which, they said, will really hurt. No kidding!!! Which, they also said, we can do nothing for.  Ugh. So I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today, and aching a lot. But still making layouts. In twos. ;)

 

why do these always come in twos?

I wonder why I never wait for three layouts to post together?
but, never the less, here are my latest two :)

 

where do you take yours?

iPhone that is. I seem to take mine everywhere - or rather take pictures on it everywhere! Its like documenting my life!!

Never know what you might capture. in less than 48 hours..

You might capture 

..a sweet lil Princess sat on the sofa..

 

...or the changing seasons..

 

 

a gap in the market teeth

 

a fish

 

a sweet faced rat {we were at the pet shop, can you tell?!}

 

a tree thats too tall for a photo

 

or something sparkly

 

SO, you'd better keep yours with you!

this week's listings...

{Alternative title - why this week has been crap}

1) did you know there was a button on the side of the iPhone that mutes everything? It looks like a 'lock settings' button on older mobile phones, which is prob why I switched it. and then ages later thought my iphone was broken!!

2) O2 { my mobile service provider} has a stupid set up for voice mail. You dont press the 'voice mail' button on the iphone, oh no. You dail a random number. Well of course. how logical. NOT!!!! Thank goodness for google enabling me to work this, and the previous issue, out!!!

3) Falling over when old is not a good thing to do. I still hurt in varied places from falling over eight/nine days ago. Nothing major but enough to be miserable.

4) my Dr is fully booked. HOW did we get to a state in our health care that enables our Drs to be fully booked? how can I know in advance if I'm sick/the children will be sick??!!!

5) write down phone directions to somewhere carefully. do not think 'I'll just jot these down quick, no real need, I'll just use the sat nav', because, then when the person talking ends her conversation with; 'Our address doesnt exist on sat navs, isnt that silly?' you will be in a real pickle. to put it mildly.

6) apparently road rage and stressing over being late affect only one type of personality. And apparently I'm that type...

7) using a pen and paper calendar and a computer calendar does not work. they do not sync while you are sleeping. which leads to double booked appointments, forgotten meetings ETC ETC. which turns into point 6 above...

8) Dog behaviourist are amazing. But expensive. and will make you feel like an idiot many many times during the conversation.

9) dog clicker training works fast. however you need one more hand than I have... one to hold the lead, one to hold the clicker, one to hold the treats for instant feeding....wait...

10) back/side/rib pain is all encompassing. whatever you do it hurts. 

11) grocery shopping is pointless. People keep eating the damn stuff.

12) ditto laundry. Except they don eat it, obviously....

13)I am not the type of person who thrives on stress or being busy. I dont think I like those people for being like that either... If stressed or busy I am the type of person who needs to crawl back under the duvet. 

written from under the duvet.

two new ones....

I am not having a great week, can somebody tell me is it over yet??? still, scrapping is therapy. So I have LOTS in the works !!! Here are the last two I finished...

 

I love green. green is my go to happy colour :)

'Tis the season....

{oh my poor baby...}

itunes Scrapbooking inspiration...

Oh yes, a new iTunes challenge is up here on the Designer Digitals blog.

This is my page... simple but effective. and kinda funny..

 

:)

brief pause

...or maybe that should be brief paws? LOL Seeing how I'm on my way in a mo to the dog training...
You ever have moments like this? I have so much on today... but none of it just yet. A handful of minutes left before the onslaught of crazy running around starts. Where I wont stop til about... hmm... 8pm? tonight.  Its this weird take a deep breath/dont stress/dont panic/here we go kinda feeling. 

*deeeep breath* Have a good day, people.

my latest....

My latest layout-

 

My latest blog readers
 Guess what my teen daughter does in her computer/business studies lessons? READS MY BLOG!!!! with her friends. So, theres a whole new audience I had no idea about.
 Hi teen people! Wouldnt you be better off working???? Hi, teen people's teacher. I'm sorry about this. But its okay, this is a teen friendly blog. No swear words here. Well, only ones that are spelt '*^&%$£@!!**'   ;)
 By the way, Teen daughters friends think I'm fun. and cool. oh yeah. and arty/alternative/different. But I'll stick with the 'cool'. 'Bout time  someone thought that...;) Teen daughter does not share their opinion....

My latest crafty 'thing'
Is another rag wreath. {which you cannot say fast} In case you have no clue what a rag wreath IS , or better still, you really want to make one, there is a tutorial coming soooon. Which means I remembered to take pictures during the making, and not just at the end!!

My latest scary adventure
Tomorrow crazy dog and I are off to the other side of Hampshire to consult a behaviour specialist. {A DOG behaviour specialist I hasten to add} We are going to fix Sullys super fears and change our life. And Yes I do feel thats a realistic expectation from just one lesson. LOL. Just kidding. Why is it scary? "cause things like being watched and assessed make me nervous. and driving to somewhere off the map makes me more nervous....

My latest POTD
