sorry i have not been around but i have been decorating ~ well that was the plan ~decided to strip one wall in our lounge/dinner ~has taken all week ~ as who ever the builder/decorator of this house was put up woodchip wallpaper on chipboard ~with no plaster , who doesn`t plaster walls????? so it is a very slow progress inch by inch ~had to take wednesday off as my right hand was so swollen and felt like cat tom`s hand after being hit by a spade by jerry mouse (in the cartoon) ~so today i am going to finish that wall ~what ever!!! ~no pain no gain!! just the top left hand corner to complete!!anyway , in the madness, my mother asked me to make an anniversary card for some dear friends of hers, as my parents are going to their party this weekend ~luckly my MIL had this kanban image/card i could use (as my craft stuff is hidden behind furniture/and all the lounge clutter) ~used the fab sketch over on SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY#55 ~ i have turned the sketch on it`s side!! added ribbon, glitter, stickers and pearls
time to get lunch box/school uniform together before lewis gets up. have lewis`s school summer bbq this evening with the new class lists up for next september. also have to get organised for aarons appeal for a new school, hope he could be back in education in september (but looks unlikely!! as been told the appeal will not be heard until then!!)
have a fab day and enjoy your weekend!! who knows i could be onto the sanding down and painting by then!!! if my hand allows!!
