New Release at the Creative Cottage

Good morning to you all, and i hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Why do the weekends always seem to fly by? no sooner is it Friday evening and im feeling relaxed about the weekend, then its sunday evening and im stressing out about the week ahead and the morning school run!

We did have a fairly relaxed weekend, hubby played golf on Saturday which meant i had time to have a play with my crafting goodies, without any guilt.

Then Sunday we went for two long walks with Rocky Bear, which was very enjoyable. It was cold but the sun was out and it was very refreshing! It was a very enjoyable weekend.

I was led into a false sent of security, thinking my bad run of luck had run out. Well, there you go, never take anything for granted. I was brought back to earth this morning with a big awakening bump!!!!

Now as you all know my poor son is very accident prone and attracts trouble!!! so why should this week be any different. Firstly we find out his money has not gone into the bank, now unfortunately my son is unemployed, and although he gets unemployment money we tend to support him too financially like you do. This morning his money has not gone into his account, so im again his personal banker. Now i should have known better, I let him take my car out to Sainsburys as he is going to get me a few bits of shopping. Now i am my own worst enemy, my hubby doesn't like my son using my car (he has his justified reasons), but i didn't think it could hurt, after all he was doing me a favour! Now when will i ever learn? i got a phone call 25 minutes ago telling me he had a puncture!!!!!! he is not good under stress and was stressing about changing the wheel. Generally i would phone hubby to ask him to come out and change my wheel, but i have a dilemma, hubby will go mad firstly because he has to go and change a tyre with a puncture and secondly because ive let him use my car!!!! Sooooooo, has my run of bad luck finished? i think not, although of course some is my own doing. I am still waiting for my son to return my phone call and tell me he is on his way home, wish me luck?????

On a good note, i did get some crafting done over the weekend!! and my lovely friend Tracy has launced her new Digi-download set this morning at the Creative Cottage Designs. Please go over to the blog and see the other DT members cards, they are truly inspirational.

I have to admit this is one of my favourite releases of all time. Pink and black papers, one of my favourite colour combinations, and handbags and shoes, what else could a girl ask for.

I apologise for the quality of the photos, the light in here wasn't good last night, hope you can see the beauty of the papers though, aren't they just luscious???


I would love a pair of shoes like this, mind you i doubt very much i would be able to walk it killer heels like this anymore. My high heel days are well and truly over, my balance has always been bad, but these days i trip up in my uggs!!!

The beaded flower embellishment was made by myself some time ago, couldn't believe i finally got round to using it!!!

Below another variation on that gorgeous shoe! and those lovely flowers which i just adore!

Finally a simpler card highlighting another one of those fabulous flowers, aren't they gorgeous?

Now my lovelies, im sure you are sick of my moaning. I am surprised i have any visitors left at all. I am not off for a bath, a bath always helps to de-stress me, then maybe this afternoon a bit of crafting.

I hope you all have a lovely day and that your week is an enjoyable one.

Big hugs Linda x
