Morning Fluffers!
Something has eaten my silver flip flops. I'd say they were my favourite silver flip flops, but they're so last season darlings! They've been tucked outside, just by the back door for the past few weeks because I was drying out some grass on them. No, I'm not talking that kind of grass. I'd been strimming.
Now several things are unusual about this. Firstly, there is a strict pink and blue job allocation in our house. Neighbourhood Surveillance, (AKA Twitching Operative) for example, falls firmly into the pink camp. (Wait till I tell you about the builder and the high visibility jacket.) Strimming and other gardening type jobs involving a close proximity with nature (yuck) falls into the blue. Unless I'm feeling generous. (Or the frequency of the previously mentioned blue job is not to my satisfaction.) The other odd thing about this event, is the fact I was wearing anything on my feet at all. Totally rock 'n' roll, me!
Anyway. I opened the curtains the other day, to see my nearly favourite silver flip flops strewn across the garden. It looked like someone had opened a bedroom window and hurled them out, they were that random. On closer inspection, something with really sharp teeth had partaken in a rather healthy snack, to the extent that you couldn't wear them at all, let alone pass them off as shabby chic. Well, if Sweet Cheeks thinks he can sleep in a tent out there, he can jog on! And next time I leave my flip flops outside, I'm gonna leave a bacon sarnie too...

ReplyDeleteMmm.... maybe you have taken the Beast of Exmoor up there! Actually, come to think of it there haven't been any stories about it since you moved! Eeeeek! Jill x
This is so cute Faye! What a gorgeous image and your colouring is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your almost favourite flip flops, but I reckon the bacon sarnie might do the trick next time!

Lol - gorgeous fab colouring xx
ReplyDeleteMy sister was sat having a coffe a couple of weeks ago when her dog barked out of the window, when she looked there was a great big fox on her lawn!! These little blighters are getting everywhere these days. Be careful as those babies were bitten in the summer when a window was open. Look after SC.
ReplyDeleteO
nto something much nicer than a fox...your gorgeous card, I love the image and your colouring is stunning, The sketch is gorgeous, I will go check it out. Dx
you know what this means don't you?
ReplyDeleteyou'll need to buy 2 new pairs of flip flops, one nearly favourite to replace your silver ones, but another pair which will be your absolute favourites too ;)
Just make sure you don't do what I did and buy 2 left feet, so embarrassing having to wear flip-flips!
LOVE this card, the colours, the pearls, the flowers, the beautifully coloured image, and I especially love the flying froggy, awwwww!
Have a wonderful weekend hunni

ReplyDeleteOh Faye this is just gorgeous! I dont usually go for fairy cards but you've done such a good job and that little princess frog is so sweet!

ReplyDeleteHow totally sweet, Faye! I love, love, love your card... The image is fantastic and coloured to perfection and I love the pearl lines, so pretty! And I am so, so sorry about your flip flops!!! Have a lovely Saturday, as lovely as possible... BIG hugs Delphine xx
ReplyDeleteHa! Ha! Shame about the flip flops, someone obviously took a fancy to them! Great that you did the strimming though - I WOULD do ours, but I don't know how to turn the strimmer on - these things are sooo technical. When hubby tries to show me, I always remember that I've left something on the stove!!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty, girly card. Love the soft pink and pearls.

No! You lost me there...Sweet Cheeks has taken to eating silver flip-flops whilst wearing a high-visibility jacket while he builds the house opposite? I must look at the labelling on my tea bags...is it you OR me that's partaken in something illegal? x

I never understand why people leave shoes of any description outside...you never know what you'll find in them when you go back to them yuck! But then I'm just a bit girly!! Which is good as this card is so deliciously girly & wonderful. At least it's a genuine excuse to shop.... xx
