Sooooo Excited....

Although the day didnt start off too well. I was cleaning the bathroom and my 2 little boys were watching the TV just before school (yes I know bad parent, slap wrists), and all of a sudden I heard something fall and they both started screaming at the tops of their voices (so I knew that they were okay) I yelled downstairs and asked what had happened, one of the cats had knocked the crabs aquarium off the top of the vivarium and the gravel, water and crab had gone flying, I ran down the stairs as fast as I could in my slippers yelling at the children to get the cats out of the lounge so they couldn't get the crab, but neither of them would move, I managed to get one of the cats out and shut the door, but the other two were proving more difficult. I was pushing the sofa in all directions and my 8 year old started helping me and eventually we grabbed one cat each and put them out the lounge. Next we needed to catch the crab. We have had this crab at least 3 years and it has got bigger and bigger and bigger, it is now almost the size of a dressed crab that you can buy, so it was no mean feat finding something to catch it in. Eventually I used a massive saucepan and a newspaper and soon had him back in his aquarium. Unfortunately it took a lot longer cleaning up the gravel and smelly water, which had to wait until after I had taken the childen to school, but alls well that ends well and crab is quite happy again in his aquarium and the cats are now permanently shut out of the lounge.

Then hubby rang me at lunch time and told me he had won 2 tickets for U2 in the online auction on ticketmaster. That for the same price we had paid for our other tickets, we now had seats almost next to the stage, now this deal is so special we have to collect the tickets on the night from the box office at Wembley Stadium and hubby has to have the same credit card he bought the tickets with plus photo identification just to get them. We then enter by a special door and get greeted by someone, we then have a special merchandise stall etc that we use instead of the general public one which will probably be very busy. We have been allocated what we imagine are seats as it is row 6 with 2 seat numbers.... how excited am I, may have to buy an extra battery for my camera so I can just snap away...... so much better than when we went to Poland. Just have to sell my other tickets now, which are also great seats, but obviously not as good as these ones are....

But..... you are all waiting to see what card I have made and here it is...

Real Red and Whisper White Cardstock, Fall Flowers (Retired) Designer Paper, this is still available whilst stocks last. Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon and brads and flowers from my stash. I used the Scallop Edge Punch for the scallop white edge. And that's it, I know those colours are quite Christmassy but I didn't think it looked too seasonal....

Have a great evening all xx
