not in use?

I have started wandering around looking at other folks blogs, mainly from Emma's page, and I discovered Cathy's . She asked on her blog candy this question, " All you have to do is tell me what craft stuff you need to cut down on?"
And I was thinking, what do I need to cut back on?
The answer is not much really, I have stuff I was never sure what to do with, and stuff I got in magazines but was not colors I would usually mix. But the class I go to on a Tuesday and inspiration from other bloggers sites have given me new ideas......
I know I pasted this picture on a post earlier on today but the pinks and greens in this is a combo I would never have used. The flowers & embossing I learned how make at class and the stamping I am loving after giving up on due to many previous rubbish attempts! AGAIN Tuesday's class has shown me all the ways I was going wrong! thank goodness for education!

payment for poppy sitting

The dreaded lurgy is almost passed, regular steaming with Lavender & tea tri oil helped no end.
And I am so thankful it was nothing serious like Man Flu!
Anyway......the need for opal fruits has passed as well.
Just as well, I was seriously eating way too many of them.
Wasn't quiet on first name terms with the shop keeper....

So tomorrow is the last session of the prepare to adopt course our local council runs.
It's an all day session and our lovely friend Fiona is Poppy sitting tomorrow, not sure her
Auld doggy Bailey will be happy having this mad wipper snapper back again!
Bailey was my lovely old Tilly Dog's older brother from the same litter.
He mumbles and moans and is getting old and slow. He is so funny.
We left Pops and Uncle Bailey while we went for a meal last Saturday.
On return we discovered he had opened living room and escaped upstairs,
I was worried about Fiona's three cats, but needn't have!
Brownie was holding her own! Poppy was hiding in the kitchen while Brownie sat and watched her peeping round the corner! Pops was very relieved to see us return!

I decided to give Fiona a wee selection of cards as a thank you for Poppy sitting. Not sure what I did wrong with pasting pics of the cards...but hey ho!
