when the daughter is at school and going to a friend's after school so you don't have to go and get her until nearly 5pm?
Hello blogworld
Well the answer is - spend the day surfing!!! Oh dear, I'm terrible aren't I! I have nearly a whole day to myself, a very unusual circumstance, and I'm wasting it surfing and doing nothing!
The housework is talking to me, but I'm turning my back on it, the cards are calling, but I'm not listening, the shopping is whispering, and I'm tuning it out - the only thing I'm listening to right now is the lappy!!!
Ach well, I suppose I'll wander off eventually - and who doesn't deserve a lazy day every now and again.
So want to see a card - be warned it's a lot of one particular colour!
Here you go:

A challenge, or two:
I love Promarkers: Challenge #142 - Pretty in Pink
In The Pink: Challenge #7 - CaS. Now then ladies, I'm not sure I've interpreted this in the right way - so if you think it's not appropriate I don't mind if you delete. I'm not even sure myself that it's particularly CaS!

I like the fact that you quoted "why don't you" except I am showing my age now too! I love the pink and green combo so pretty!
I think you and I were separated at birth! I have had no girls since wednesday and have I done anything?! Have I heck, their rooms need a good sort and I have tonnes and tonnes of washing and ironing to do and all I have done is make cards, make chutney and surf the net! I really need to go and make their beds now before they come home with even more washing and I go to work oops! Hugs Rebekah xx

Hi Sarah, I do love this card! The image is adorable and the paper and lace are delicious! Although I agree with you that the card isn't CAS, it is beautiful nonetheless.

Well I would have preferred to have spent the day surfing but I was trying to tidy my Craft Room and it's 11.30 and I haven't finished it yet by a long way. Too much stuff!!! And here I am admiring your super colouring of Maisie and wondering if I can live without her! And your lace is beautiful (and I might need to buy some) and your papers are gorgeous and I'm coveting them. A beautiful card, Sarah! Its lovely to see you playing along with us at Sketch Saturday this week. Hugs, Lesley
I love the image and the way you stamped off the circle and then added that delightful swirly bit around it all...
I also love that she is tiny and the look of it on the card...
I could so see this as a card for a 2 yr old!!!
Or a little girl getting a new brother or sister...a sentiment sort of like...There's 2 of us now!
I have just got back from an all day trip to America...i bought a Fiskars "Pro'cision" trimmer...They are $130.00 in America regular price but luckily were on 40% off!!! Then I stacked a 25% off everything you purchase that day! YAY! It was such a bargain.
I am so excited to use it...I had the Making memories big silver and black one and the grid finally wore off the cutting stand as I have used it for several years.
I will finally be able to know that my rectangles are straight!!!
so gorgeous sarah.i love your pretty soft colours and the image is really sweet :D
xx coops xx
