A Mixed Morning!

I thought I'd give you a laugh and share my start to the day!

Keith (builder) said he wouldn't be here till mid-morning, Hubby was going into work late this morning as he'll be leaving later this evening to go karting after work (well you don't wnat to work longer hours than necessary, do you?) - anyway, this meant we got an extra long sleep in. Which I have to say, I really need as I'm suffering from the annual onset-of-winter-blues plus I've got a bit of a cold.

I thought I'd take the chance of a leisurely shower this morning while hubby was still here, rather than the "got to be quick in case the builders arrive early" one that's come to be the norm.
Anyway, I'd washed and put conditioner on my hair and set to with the other shower-y chores.

I then dropped the soap, bent down to pick it up, stood up, bashed my head on the metal basket thing that all the shampoos etc are in, which promptly jumped off the hook, landed on my foot and scattered the contents all around the shower tray. Bearing in mind I can't see a thing without my lenses in, plus the shock of bashing me head, having a heavy metal thing land on my foot and being showered with random bottles of shampoo, shower gel, soap and razors it's no wonder I shrieked loud enough to have hubby come hurtling down the stairs to see what had happened!

So much fo a lovely leisurely, relaxing shower..... Fortunately so real harm done!

And so on to thenormal Tuesday stuff.
It's DCM Little Extra day and Santa's Little Extra Helper has been prodded into action again. This week the theme is Snowmen and Snowflakes
I've just bought the Cuttlebug winter die set so this was a good chance to five the little snowman a work out.
At first I left him hatless, then thought he could be a snow-woman and added a glittery hairband, then decided I didn't like that either so dug out the QK snowman die to see what the little tophat from that would look like. I think it looks pretty cute, so I've added little hats to all my Cuttlebug snowmen now. Somehow they all looked a little naked - or "nekid" as Lyth would say without a little headdressing!
Papers from the BG Figgy Pudding pad, snowflake ribbon from Ribbon Oasis, embossing - Cuttlebug snowflakes folder
Here are some more in the same vein
Some papers from English paper Co, some from the DCVW Christmas pad
I've also got the Cbug Vintage Die set which has nice corner swirls and a couple of intricate square designs. I used one for these two cards, I thought the deign looked a bit like ribbon streamers and would make a good frame for the snowman. The fabbylicious snowman grosgrain ribbon has been waiting to come out and play for weeks. I love it, such a gorgeous shade of blue and such cute little pictures along it - obviously it has to be from Ribbon Oasis too!

And finally a couple of mini-cards, both using Self Addressed kits plus that "vintage" Cbug die set and a couple of the embossing folders too
