Challenge 75 - Fluffy!

Wayhey! What a super day we've had, sunny, warm good company in the main part.... then we played golf.... well when I said played.... lets just say we walked round and hit a golf ball in what seemed like a few random directions. Oh and those directions weren't necessarily the right ones either! Still a couple of drinks and laughs later, well having played such garbage laughter was the best solution! Still I'll not doubt do it all again!

Challenge 73 - Spring is sprung!

~waves~ Hiya there folks - are you enjoying this fabulous spring weather? I'm absolutely LOVING it! Ideally now I'd like it to last until November... However I doubt that somehow as our forecast is for it to be not so nice tomorrow. I've got everything crossed for it to come back soon though.

So many thanks to you all who came to play last week - you certainly love your buttons! So I dragged the Random Picky Thing out of the sun, he was only out there in his shades! He soon picked a name just so he could get back to the sun I think ;)) The name he picked was Lizy!
Email me your details with the challenge number in the title line and that shopping trip to Simon says Stamp is yours!

So what's it to be this week? Well seeing as its now officially spring I thought that was it! So let it be spring! Now anything to do with spring folks - our kind sponsor this week is Handy Hippo

So as usual the Gorjussettes have sprung into action!

Challenge 71 - Pearls and Lace

Yoohoo!!!

Crikey its cold again! I have the temperature reading one thing and my body says no that can't be right because I'm frozen! I think its down to the icy wind. Its what my Mum used to call a lazy wind.... it doesn't go round you.... it goes straight through! I reckon its blowing directly from the Arctic. I checked the map and its pretty much a direct line from there to here. Mind you Scotland has snow forecast! Still its not as bad as what's happened in Japan - how awful. If any of your loved ones are in that part of the world I hope they're safe.

And some important news - DT call out going on! Check the sidebar for details!

This week we have to say bye to Alberto - good luck in the future Alberto!

OK - thanks as always to last weeks players, you made my simple little sketch look really special! The RPT has done his stuff and he's picked Heidi email me your details and include the challenge number in the title please.

As always the Gorjussettes have made some wonderful inspiration for you.

I've another couple of hours to go, then I'm up again in a couple more! Oh that's not through some super keen mind who wants to crack on oh no! I just don't sleep! So if I'm up early like that why am I NOT a morning person? lol

Oh we've still got turf wars or should that be conifer wars? going on for the top spot in the tallest conifer. I mean its really tall so you'd thing there'd be enough room for everyone..... oh no everyone wants the penthouse! I'll keep you posted who wins.
