Collections and Girls day out.

I have had a lot of good feedback regarding my spool earrings, that I have spent the last week making more so that I finally will have some stock for my Etsy shop. Hopefully they will sell. I made some spool ones and then more common type of ones.

After My little play with the spools at Sulea's I wondered what I could do with the large ones. There are two large ones in the pack. The end result is below. I used collections papers, butterflies, and spools, lace and vintage brads from Stampin up; a leaf ribbon I bought years ago and never found anything to use it on (until now) and hand beaded ribbon.


Today was a girls day out. Unfortunately not everyone could make it due to illness and family commitments but the small group of us that went, had a great time. We went and saw Gulliver's Travels in 3D. Must admit the 3D was better than Avatar. It's a strange movie this one, but it is quite funny in places.

As we walked into the movies I saw these coke "bottles" for sale. I thought they were great. I think they take about a litre of fluid. I got diet coke and barely drank it. I am going to take it to work and have my water in it. Must drink at least one of these at work a day.
After the movie (because this was my birthday outing) we went to the waffle shop near the Cinema. I haven't really had waffles before. The only time I did have them, I didn't like them, so I just got 2 small scoops of ice cream while every one else went mad. Sulea ended up with a huge waffle so she gave me some to try. It was so light and fluffy, and yum, so she gave me a quarter of it.

Oh I have sponsered another child. This time she is in Cambodia. Would you believe that her surname is exactly the same as mine but without the 'e'. She looks like a real little cutie. I am hoping to get to Cambodia at the end of the year with some friends. Hopefully I will get to meet my little sponsor girl.

Have a great week everyone.
