Delicious Doodles Meets Simon Says and swiss roll in trifle!!!

Hmmmm - is all birthdays and presents!  And there isn't either on this offering!

This is one of the Delicious Doodles birthday freebies!  They are one year old - I seriously thought they had been going for way longer than a year - in a good way!

Well, there is a challenge to use one of the freebies they have been giving away this week - and this was my pick - so versatile!

And inside, is a mix and match game.  You know - you draw the top half and bottom half of something and then mix and match...or it could be the front and back...it could be parts of words...think hippo(potamus) and Meer (cat) = hippocat!  I was just chatting to Josh about this and he said they used to have one at school that was foods and toppings - he always used to turn it to bolognaise and chips!

Simon Says Challenge is to make a present - and this will be winging its way up the country to this little cutie....in case you are not sure which one...its the little one in pink!  The two smaller ones are my bestest friend's little ones - yes, and the one in the middle is the dreaded JOSH!  And - yes, he has had a haircut recently!

The kids made trifle last week and were astonished how well it turned out...considering we didnt have any cream, or sponge fingers!  My mum used to make trifle with swiss roll, so did my friend's mum (the mum of these two!) so it was perfectly fine with us to replace the sponge fingers with swiss roll.  BUT my mother in law and brother in law had a happy time teasing the heck out of me (about a year ago - not that I remember - lol) at just the thought of doing something so sacriligious!

SO - is it just our mums who used to do this (they lived at the other end of the country and didnt know each other!), or did your mums do this????

Thanks for looking!

Busy week - ups and downs! And another challenge card!!!!

Oh boy!  Its been such a busy, fun week this week.  BUT I went to hospital this morning and they confirmed I am going to have to have my gallbladder out!  YUKKKK!  Still - its a nice easy op so thats good!

And just can't wait for tomorrow!  Busy Saturday morning (as usual!) and then in the afternoon a friend that I haven't seen in an age is coming over.  And then...we are going with another friend and some work colleagues to...Shakespeare in the park!  Now - have never been before, but its meant to be fabby!  Taming of the Shrew - need to go and find out the story NOW in case I dont understand it!  I did Shakespeare in school - loved it, but that was when I had the study guide and understood all the asides and how they related to that period of time.

And this card is for my friend!  She has had a tough time and I am so glad she is back on the scene!  Image is rather fabby Anya from the Greetings Farm - and I have followed their Farm Fresh Friday sketch - two sketches in one day! 

And then - because it's for my friend, I would like to enter this in the Simon Says Challenge - which is "You Gotta Have Friends"

I have layered it up a little, with that and the glossy accents (think that's its name!) - oh and the buttons - I can enter it into ABC's Challenge which is to add Xtra dimension - did wonder what the "X" would be - had visions of triple X stuff all over everyone's blogs!

Finally, Sew Many Cards have an "Anything Goes" challenge - well it would be rude not to, wouldn't it!!!

And you can't really see it but I used that glossy stuff on her glasses - looks alot better "in the flesh!" - this means that I can enter it into Crafty Creations Challenge to "let it shine!"

Just for Fun!

Hmmm - just scheduled a post for my DT assignment for Doodle Palace - it is really quite poor (have to admit it!) - then realised that I had this card that I hadnt posted up (and its a darn sight better than the one which is scheduled!).  SO here it is! -

The two little clips are part of the card - just in case you thought they were left there by mistake!

And here is the card with the clips off!  I did this for a Birthday Rak so hope the person who is receiving this doesnt see it here first!  I actually really like how this came out - or is that because I have just scheduled the post with the awful card???

Hee hee - well, bet you cant wait to see THAT post can you?  Have scheduled it for Tuesday - so feel free to pop over and have a giggle!

OOO have just seen the plea for more entries over on Simon Says - so consider this entered!
