Tight Squeeze

Another Sunday has come round so quickly and it's time again for Sunday with Santa on Facebook.  The subject this week is Humour and I hope I've captured that.  

I made myself a light box last weekend using a white cardboard box that I picked up in the supermarket.  I can't say the photos are brilliant (operator error) but at least there's no shadows.

I've an appointment with the optician at 11 to sign up for my contacts then Mr C and I are off to Homebase to collect the wall tiles we've ordered for the kitchen, all 32 packs of them!  Mr C is so glad he's not having the put them up!

Have a lovely Sunday whatever you're up to.

Woopee!

Morning!  Wow folks, that's another month of 2012 hit the dust, where does the time go?  We had another busy day yesterday.  In the morning we ordered our new kitchen (the one we have is 20 years old!!!) which will be installed once we are back from Spain so you will no doubt hear all about it at a later date.  After that we went to Callander to pick up my car which is all sorted and thankfully didn't cost me an arm and a leg!

I'm going into town this morning to get some bits and pieces and then to the hairdresser in the afternoon so that I don't have any grey hairs showing when I'm on my holibobs.  After all that I can't see any crafting getting done today but hopefully tomorrow.

Hugs

Brrr, it's a cold world this morning but thankfully we've no snow.  It's a snuggle up by the fire day so that's just what I'm going to do as Mr C is working till 5 o'clock (funny shifts on a Sunday!)

My card today is for Sunday with Santa on FB and the theme this week is Birds.  I've used vellum on this card and at long last I've found a glue I can used all over the vellum without it showing through or warping.  I'm probably the last in the craft world to find this out but just in case you don't know it's All Purpose Glue by Collall, brilliant!  I'm still keeping my Christmas cards simple so that Mr Post Office can't charge me a fortune when the big day comes.
