I'm loving distress stains

Watched Tims's video on Scrap Time about using the distress stains and started playing with the selection I picked up when I met Tim the other month (oh did I not mention that already, LOL).  I started up buying 3 then went back and bought 2 more, as you do, now I want them all and I want them now.  Along with the last five DI pads and all of Paper Artsy new paints, all of Jo Capper Sandon stampotique range, more art parts and stamps from studio 490 and more of Tim's dies, gonna have to wait for them to be released though.  This week I have got the Sewing Room die and shall be using that for my mums mothers day card.

Anyway I digress from the demo, it was really good and really kicked my mojo off, tried to use some of my new stash as wll, so my first piece with my Sudio 490 stamps, I do love them, the stars are so cute and then got carried away dying trims with the DS.  Such fun I loved it...

Yesterday I was reading the Altered Inkers WOYWW entry, and noticed she has monkeys everywhere, so said I would post a picture of my solitary monkey on his chaise longue.  I love Nickys craft room I have stolen lots of ideas for my space from hers.  Just yesterday I bought another wire cake stand from homebase, half price at the moment, £4.99 a right bargain for anyone else who has been looking for them at a cheap price, not quite sure where but somewhere on her blog is a walk through video of her area starting at the door and the wire dress form on the door, (Ive got one of those too ..  isn't copying the sincerest form of flattery LOL), so for Nicky, heres Monkey

Just to let my mates know I am on the sick at the moment, came down big time from my brilliant Timmy time, came back to disaster areas at work and home and a heavy cold, so my body decided no more, it couldnt cope, so if I have sounded a bit pissed off with life, that is why.  Hopefully back to normal next week, or as close to normal as I ever can be. .  LOL..

My new crafty friends seemed to have nick named me McFly, something to do with a windscreen, a fly and a car crash, followed by my secret crush on the McFly guys, one of them made a fly   >!<    for me out of characters on the keybouard, LMAO.




How lush are they, yum yum....
