Trials and Tribulations

Presently I'm sitting up in bed resting my now rather swollen ankle after falling down the stairs on Sunday evening just before I was due to head out with the hubby. So instead of spending a relaxing night at the movies, we chose Cork accident and emergency for our venue.

After waiting an hour and a half to be triaged and then told it would be a minimum of a further 6 hours before I had a hope of being seen I decided to leave. I toyed with staying, but knew I'd be in a worse state if I remained. I assumed all I done was sprained my ankle and knew it would be rest and anti-inflammatories, something I really didn't need to wait to be told.

So confined to rest (which I hate) here I am. I was very bad and didn't yet get around to uploading my layout from a fortnight ago, which I will do when I get back down to the shop.

I will also have to upload my samples for our stamp of the month, which is this beautiful unmounted Christmas theme plate from Elusive Images. I've taken the liberty of mounting the plate on Kling-On so it's ready to go.

As with all of our SOM there is 15% off the marked price of €20.88 for the rest of August whilst stocks last.







It was Scrapaholic on Sunday (before the stairs incident) and everything seemed to go well. The journalling kit proved to be a success and the time just flew. I will upload my layout on my return and as a by the by I think I have a couple of the kits left should anyone want to complete it at home, just let me know.




Next months kit is a Rub-on one and Scrapaholic will take place on Sunday 16th from 3-5pm. I'm also taking advance bookings for the Christmas Scrapaholic event which will probably take place on 9th December (times to be confirmed). The kit will consist of a mini handbag album, cardstock, papers, ribbon, etc and will understandably be more expensive. I will post the exact cost up when I know more.

I think that will probably do for now, oh except to say that I have just put in an order (from bed) for lots of Christmas papers, stickers and embellishments, including the DCWV cardstock stacks. It was also my intention to get a Sizzix order off last week, this will obviously be a little delayed now, but if anyone wants anything adding on please let me know and when I'm back to full speed I'll get it off.
