Curiously Alcoholic...

...*not me!!* AND...Tinted...which is the theme for this weeks Compendium of Curiosities challenge which is hosted by none other than that loverly lady Linda... if you click on her name I have arranged for Blogger to give you a free trip to the US of A to see her blog...*see, I am good like that LOL* and her AMAZING NEWS!!!! BUT!!!! I am not going to gob off and tell everyone what it is... you will have to see for yourselves :O)) Tis so worth it, believe me!!!




I made another tag to go with the other 6 ... cannot believe it is week 7 already! Am not telling you what the technique is this week either... oh I am being so restrained here it is almost tooo much! Needless to say, I chucked a load of Distress inks, Fragments, Alcohol Inks, Lost & Found papers and some lace n ribbon at my tag... This is a technique I need to practice...all three Fragments have been done this way but the pics are naff as usual and they don't show up as well as they could... I know, I know, a poor crafter blames her camera and all that ... but you believe me... don'tcha??? ROFL




Cor blimey! Yesterday was BRILLIANT!!!! I was a lucky girlie and got taken to the theatre... in the West End of London... by Jennie, whose incredibly talented daughter is Asst Stage Manager on a new production of Shirley Valentine... starring Meera Syall... alone, on the stage... doing a monologue just as the play was written... Willy Russell certainly knew how to get inside the mind of a 40 plus year old woman... OMG she was A-MAYZ-ING! Funny, witty, comedic timing was perfect and with the right amount of melancholy too... and... her scouse accent was spot on... honestly, if you get chance, go and see this play... I have seen a fair few plays in my time but this one was by far the bestest I have seen. The play is running alongside Educating Rita... which I mentioned yesterday is one of my favest films... so *cough cough, hint hint* I would lurve to see that too ;o)) click HERE to see all the deets etc about the plays.




So, have you noticed that I am showing signs of refinement here??? Talking about films, plays... next I will be admitting my love of Shakespeare and Kipling...whoops I just did! don't worry though, I am still as common as muck and ate my fancy posh burger that we got afterwards in Covent Garden, with my fingers...and the onion rings too... but I did use a fork to get the chips into my chops, I mean, I am trying to be ladylike here ROFL Anyways.. time for me to head off into the kitchen to make a choccy birthday cake for my friends' daughters' 18th... then I need to do my roots... too much grey showing thru... a sign of... I was gonna say old age... but I shall take Shirley's view and say, a life lived :O)) So, whatcha up to today??? I hope whatever you are doing it is a goodly day for you and... don't forget to check out Linda's blog for the deets! Thanks for looking... TTFN
