Good afternoon, whilst I have a beef stew brewing on the stove I thought I'd catch up with you after the weekend. How was yours?
I got all the dreaded ironing done and dusted on Saturday, I was there most of the day but it was a good job done in the end.
As for Sunday I don't know where it went. Getting ready to go back to work and school. A nice walk with the dog and my best pal. Not a lot else. A little crafting but not really much to show you.
I was playing with these. I found a die by Sizzix called Canning Jars and I thought it would go well with my Waltzing mouse stamps Seasonal remedies.
I can't decide which I prefer, I was going for the chalkboard look.
The first one is white embossed and the second just white stamped.
Can I make my mind up which I prefer? Nope I can't. One lid shiny and one matte.
Decisions, decisions. I think they'd make good Christmas tags but quite fancy putting them on a card too.
Do you play with bits and bobs before finally coming up with a design?
I'll probably have half a dozen variations before I decide what I like the best. Talk about indecisive!
Which combo do you prefer?
Tag or card?
We were all back in the thick of it today, boys back at school, hubby and I back to work.
I actually had a good day's cleaning and bizarrely enjoyed it. I must have been in the mood today.
Very strange and not at all like me, I guess the holiday away has done me good.
Before I go I just wanted to share something else with you. I don't normally get all girlie but when I saw this perfume on holiday I just had to buy it.
How cute is the packaging. I just had to have it, it's just over 5" tall. So unusual and very neat, don't you agree?
I like things that are different, a bit quirky. and this certainly is.
As they say "a change is as good as a rest!"
I've had both lately, my holiday and now new smelly. I have stuck to the same perfume for years so thought it was time I shook it up a bit. Do you stick to trusted smells or are you more adventurous?
That's all from me today I've just been asked the dreaded question "is tea ready yet!" So I better get cracking. Catch you with more tomorrow.
Well I thought your new perfume was a bottle of cleaning fluid, interesting design.
ReplyDeleteLove your jars. Well done on the ironing, Kate x
Ha ha I wondered why you were sharing a cleaning product, thought the housework had gone to your head! I like the packs of five little perfume bottles to try new ones but I do have a few faves too. Love the jars as tags, the shiny one is my fave.
ReplyDeleteI thought you were going to tell us that you had found this fab new cleaning product whilst on your holiday! :) til I read a bit more, this certainly is different, just make sure you grab the right bottle in the mornings :)
ReplyDeleteI love your jars, my favourite is the bolder white embossed one but both are great, and yes I procrastinate far too long with details when designing hence why I'm always behind with commenting :/ Just not enough hours in the day.
Hope work goes down well.
