Spring is springing

Coooeeeeeeeeeeeeeey! Me again :)

It's my turn to create a Project Feature over at Some Odd Girl. I always get a bit nervous about posting something up at Odd World, all on my own. The girls there are sooooooooooooooooo talented. And then there's me... sneaked in somehow. Still, sneaked, or not, this is what I made. 

I love this time of year. We're past the deepest, darkest part of winter, and even though you can't see it yet, the days are lengthening out. And if you go outside, and look really closely, you can just see a peep of a bulb coming up, or a bud on a tree. Spring, is coming...

The Case of The Trapped Madonna...

Hey there Peeps :)

I'm a little later than normal with my Cupcake post, as I wanted to tie it in with a Project Feature for Some Odd Girl. So, here we are. When I was thinking about what I was going to do for this project, it occurred to me, I've never coloured an Odd Image in Pencils. My Bad! I love the texture I get from Pencils, which is why I never blend them. The rustic type of feel just seemed right for Woodsy Mae, too.

This week, over at Cupcake, Liza has chosen Tag, You're It! Simples really, you just need to make a tag, something I don't really do very often. More My Bad. Anyhow, we're sponsored by Simon Says Stamp this time. I hope you have time to pop over and see the wonderful creations from the rest of the girls, including the debuts from our June Guest Cupcakes.

Now, for The Case of The Trapped Madonna...

We have a new car. She's fab and has all kinds of modern technology. For example, you don't need a key to turn her on. Oooooooooooh, it has a button. I still keep going to take the keys out of the ignition though. And, if you stall her, (difficult to tell, engine is very quiet and you can't hear it over the stereo.) instead of just flicking the keys back and forth in the ignition, you have to take your foot off the clutch and then put it back, rather than keep pushing the button and shouting at it. (And the other drivers that are yelling at you and telling you to move it. Humph.) And, you don't need a key to unlock her. So long as they're in your pocket, Nessie, recognises you and pops open. Of course, this is brilliant if you are wearing pockets and the keys are not just chucked in the little tray in the centre inside, along with Sweet Cheeks, who now he's bigger can reach the internal lock and has a thing for pressing any button he can gets his fingers on.

Nessie has a stereo. Now I know that's not cutting edge in the technology field, but the fuse has busted on it. I'm not saying anything about the volume level, but the fuse has busted. Ironically, I was listening to Turn Up the Radio... I was just doing as I was told. And when you have all the windows open, you need the stereo on louder so you can hear it! Anyway, Madonna is now trapped inside. I can't get her. And as getting the stereo fixed falls very heavily into the Blue Job Camp, she will be for some time. I like to make Very Understanding Hubby feel empowered and like he has a purpose around the house. So, fixing the stereo is defo Blue. Whereas drinking tea and chatting to my mates is completely Pink...

Have a fab day :)
