Movies...

Went to see 'No Country for Old Men' this afternoon with DD.....although I wouln't condem it out of hand as she did I must say it was an odd one! Didn't hate it but didn't really enjoy it and certainly didn't love it. Oh well, you win some, you lose some.

Haven't been keeping you up to date with my weekly UKS 'team cards' ....tsk tsk! So here are weeks 3 and 4. Week 3 was - Beverage and week 4 was texture.

That's it for now.....will post again later this week.

As promised....

here are the pics of the mini book I did over the weekend.

Overlooked....

Here is my LO for the Overlooked Challenge....it's quite different for me and a bit 'grungy' but I like it for a change.

Finished a mini book for my brother Nick and his wife Gill yesterday, using a kit from Scrapajack and some Crimbo photos converted into Sepia. Will give it to them next time I see them as a little thank you. I think Gill appreciates these sort of things and won't just throw it in the bin! Will upload some photos later.

Woeful Wednesday

Dear Diary

Heath Ledger is dead at the age of 28.

That is very sad, he was a fine actor and I thought his films were brill. I will look forward to seeing him as the Joker in the next Batman movie. What a tragic waste!

Started on my altered book but not too sure what I'm doing so am floundering a bit so will have to do more homework on this topic I think.

Ooppss....

Slipping again - no posts in three days! Oh well, let's not sweat the small stuff as they say. Had a good weekend, no thanks to the awful weather. Went to Make It Show on Sunday with some Scrapaholic friends - spent quite a lot but got some nice stuff including two great books about 'altered journals' etc.

Have started an A-Z Journal about me and have now done the first two pages which I'm quite pleased with considering I've never done an 'art journal' before.

Also thinking of doing an 'altered book' now too.

Tired....

Had a very fitful night's sleep last night. Strange, morbid dreams. Kept waking up too, which isn't like me. Needless to say I'm very tired this morning and have to work all day to cover for holiday. Grrr.

Went to see 'PS I Love You' with Sue at the flicks yesterday afternoon. It was OK but not really my cup of tea - too much of chick flick.

Sue seems to have changed a lot or is it me or is it that I'm just too sensitive these days??? We always used to be such good friends but she seems very much wrapped up in her own little world with not a care about how anyone else is. She seems very self centred and has a bit of a 'martyr syndrome' going on about her mother. Oh well I'll wait and see what she's like after her mother has gone........have a feeling that I won't be hearing much from her after that.

Mail Art.......

And now there's Mail Art......

I joined in a swap on UKS called 'decorated envelopes' and one thing led to another and I've spent all afternoon 'faffing' with different ways to decorate them.

Here are some of my efforts.....

I really enjoyed doing these and will be doing them on all my envelopes now (even though I don't post much!?!?)

New....

Been missing again haven't I? Oh well, I'll try a bit harder this week....LOL.

Anyway, have decided to give up on the 365 challenge as I was finding it a bit of a stress trying to keep up with it every day.

So have decided to convert to Overlooked blog, which is a more sedate one photo a week! The first prompt is 'Mug' and here's mine.

I've also done the 2nd prompt for Sam's Art Card Challenge. This week's prompt was 'New', so I journalled on the back about the new phase of my life, the menopause!!

Feeling a bit better in myself this week, so here's hoping.

Dear Diary.....

Apologies for being AWOL. Had one of my 'turns' again and just 'went to ground' for a while! It's wonderful being a woman with all that it involves (she says in a sarccy voice!). Anyhoo, after loosing it again at work on Wednesday, I went to the doctor and have been put on HRT which hopefully will eventually solve my 'Jekyll and Hyde' issues along with one or two others! Please bear with me and forgive me for 'disappearing' every now and then!



Will catch up on the last couple of day's 365 prompts today and over the weekend and will go and have a look on Flickr and leave some comments for all you clever peeps.

Colour.....

“The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you!”
Coco Chanel

Well I love RED, I don't wear it often but it does suit me and I love red lipstick but have always been toooo self-conscience to wear it but not anymore!

This is my favourite red bag and I have a pair of shoes that nearly match it too.

What does red say about me.....
