I've now got my fab laptop -thanks Mum and Glyn! It's an HP 15.4" widescreen, dual core, 3GB RAM, 160GB hard drive and I love it! I just need to get used to using the pad after years of using the PC mouse!

I also used my birthday money to buy myself a Samsung S1070 camera - 10 megapixels, but I haven't used it yet as I'm waiting for my SD cards to arrive. Did I mention that the camera is pink??!!!

Feeling better!

Still got a bunged-up nose and hacking cough but I'm better than I was!

I had a lovely birthday, spent most of it walking around town with Mum doing some Christmas shopping and having a look at laptops! Did I mention that Mum and step-Dad (GB) have offered to buy me a laptop as a birthday/Christmas pressie? Woo-hoo!!! I was going to put my birthday and Christmas money towards one but will now look for a compact digital camera for myself instead as our Panasonic FZ8 is a fab camera but just not handbag or pocket-sized!

I had some gorgeous cards and flowers and a lovely birthday cake - the same make of chocolate cake that we had for both Matthew and Jamie's birthdays.

I felt a bit more like creating yesterday so here's the LO I made:

I used: Papermill white card, Quickutz Blossom alphabet die-cuts, Cuttlebug Olivia alphabet die-cuts, Prima ribbon, Collage Press journalling stamps, Colorbox chalk ink, Marvy pen, American Crafts rub-ons, My Mind's Eye rub-on, Scrapworks alphabet rub-ons, Prima flowers, vintage button, Dress me up button, HOTP and Papermania brads, Stickles.

Nothing new

Nothing to show as yet! After posting the LO on Monday I came down with a really bad cold and have felt like **** until now! Thankfully starting to feel better now which is just as well as tomorrow is my XXth birthday and I've arranged to meet Mum and go shopping! Will be back in the next couple of days with stuff! Until then.....

Help or hindrance?

Pretty....

"Jess wore her pretty green dress and her new shoes to go out in the garden and how pretty she looked!
