Rainy Days

Hi everyone! I can't believe how rainy it's been today! I think this is the rainiest I've seen it in a long time, but I guess all the people suffering from water shortages because of drought in parts of Britain will be very happy for some rain at last! I thought I'd take a photo of my card against the rainy background above! In some ways though, it's nice, because it's all cosy and warm and we had the heating on for a little while earlier.
When I went for a walk last night, I was shocked at how cold it was as well! You know you're in Britain when you can see your breath in June!

Anyway, weather rant over, hee hee. I made this card today, which I am really happy with. I am really enjoying experimenting with tearing the edge of the image and distressing it, and I think I'll definitely use Bildmalarna images again, they're so cute!

I went to see Take That in Manchester last weekend, and it was amazing! I had such a fantastic time, they were brilliant! I'm sorry I didn't post any pictures sooner, but I will post some soon!

I'm really looking forward to this coming week. Tomorrow morning I have a geography exam, so obviously I'll be glad when that's over, but after that I have work experience all week! I am going to my old primary school for the week, as I'd like to be a teacher when I'm older, so I can't wait!

Anyway, I'd better go now - thanks so much for looking and have a great time if anyone else is going to see Take That!

Have a nice week! Love, Georgia xx

Look What I've Got!

Hi! I just wanted to show some pictures of the lovely things that have come in the post for me this morning!
From Katy, I received this gorgeous handmade notebook!
I absolutely love it and am so pleased - thank you so much Katy!

Also, I'd like to say a big thank you to Sanne. I entered her blog candy about a couple of weeks ago and I won! The candy arrived today with this stunning card (see below).
Thanks so much Sanne, I really appreciate it! :)

Thanks for looking and a huge thank you to Katy and Sanne! :)

Have a great weekend!
