Sticky....

...have you ever done something that has made you laugh until you snort and have little tears rolling down your face? I am always the first to admit that I am clumsy... accident prone... a little bit of a div. And the other day, I did something that got me and Ellen doing that laugh until you snort thing. So, me and Ellen are having a nice Skypey catch-up and I was mounting stamps as we were talking. Then my old steampowered moby rang and I went to pick it up... and dropped it... onto a piece of U-Mount that I had just taken the covering off. Mmmm, dropping stuff is a normal daily occurance for me... but dropping stuff onto something uber sticky? This was the result. Pics taken after we had calmed down btw.



The phone, thankfully, is still operational, which considering what has happened to it in the last week is nothing short of a miracle. I slopped a can of Diet Coke over it at the weekend (it still worked) I dropped it down the stairs on Monday (it still worked) and then I stuck it to some U-Mount, and yep, it still works. It is conspiring against me because I want one of those fandangly whizzy phones that everyone has... but flat refuse to replace said phone until it stops working (I am all for having new gadgets but cannot justify buying a new one til the old one has expired) I think I am destined to have this old crotchety phone forever.


Anyways... a little bit of craftyness on this post too... a card sample for Sunday. This one is all Distressy and has a combo of Spellbinders and 490 background stamps... with a lovely Creative Expressions sentiment... I love those Sprockets btw, they are appearing on everything! The colours are Rusty Hinge and Tea Dye (they go together so well) and if you look closely you will see a fair few goodies that are on the shows on this card.


I took time out of my crafty prepping to watch the 200m final last night. WOW. That "what'shisname" Usain Bolt... he was a dream to watch, like a Cheetah, unfurling his power and bounding off down the track. We had watched his 100m final the other night and I heard some random facts about it... did you know, he took 41 steps during the 100m? And his feet were on the ground for about 2 seconds... meaning he spent about 7.5 seconds in the air! Anyways... enough about the Olympics... hasn't it been glorious weather eh? It is always like this when I have shows and am prepping like mad in the hottest Room of Stash in the World. My old tower fan gave up the ghost last week - poor old thing has done me proud though, so I have nicked the one from Grim's room and it isn't as powerful... I resorted to crafting in my nighty earlier, tis the coolest garment I own lol I shall leave you with that delightful imagery and say, as ever... have a fab day, thanks for looking... TTFN!
