Shabby Chic Popcorn


Well I think today maybe Wednesday but its been a manic couple of days so I hope it is Wednesday cos I going to post my Simon Says Stamps Challenge today. Now the DT is show casing Popcorn and Swalk stamps which are available over on Simon Says Stamps. Would you believe I don't own either so that was soon rectified from the shop that sells everything.


We have an amazing sketch from Domi
As you can see my Popcorn is a bit big for sketch but all the elements are there. I've used the Kaiser Seaside pack that you might I spied on WOYWW last week in my parcel from Simon Says Stamps, I also used the spotty background from Hero Arts for the dots on my flowers but so wished I had some red buttons rather than the matching blue.
Well the couple of crazy days are due to my Dad being poorly and sent to Hospital. This meant that Mum need to go to a home for respite card all happened in about 3 hours on Monday. Then yesterday the Hospital wanted to discharge Dad with intermediate care at home, not a problem cos I know Dad wanted out. But I lost count how many phone calls this took and at one point I was on house phone, mobile and answering the door at the same time.
Then I couldn't settle to craft till I know Dad was home, which he now is and Mum is staying put for a few days so Dad can rest and recover but I know he will be wanting her home soon.
