Shopping UGH

Doh i was half way through an entry when M buzzed to get in and i accidentally hit the reboot button on way to the door LOL...Oh well start again...Sara it's your fault i have gone and spent some dosh today...Am crap at games both on PC and on any of the games consoles but i did like and was good at playing civilization...So in GAME i found boxed set of all 4 of them for £19.99 and bought it LOL...As yous know i hate shopping but it's worse with a 17 year old boy in tow LOL...But it was G we were shopping for...I know they say every year to only take old clothes on their trip away...Fine if you have old clothes to take and he does have old tops he can use but not bottoms...He only wears jeans and they can't wear jeans for the activities...So down to primark for a big shopping spree...2 massive bags full of stuff for £50...Got 2 sets of el cheapo tracky bottoms, packs of thick socks and thin ones for non activity wear, new trainers so he has old ones for wet use and el cheapo underwear...I don't want him taking his usual undies cos they cost a fortune...Mens underpants are so damn expensive, even more so than our knickers, dunno why not like they're anything special LOL...I did buy a couple of ribbed tops for me and loads of daft socks as they were reduced to 50p for a pack of 2...Denise i got a set of socks for you so you need to send yer addy again cos they have a moo cow on them <ggg> I also got me a big bag...Huge massive worn leather look one that is over the shoulder so can use for shopping and not have lots of carrier bags...Can also use to carry folders with cards and such like if need to show to anyone...They had a purple bag i liked to but i put it back...Oh G also decided he wanted new swimming trunks even though i bought new ones at easter

Whoops just pressed save instead of on MSN message from K ROFL...Not having a good day am i <ggg> Yesterday i did find masking fluid so look out for cards that are 'different' soonish...Dragged G to poundland as well to buy more plastic boxes for M for his cooking and G for packed lunch box for trip...On way there i said look i wanted to buy ALL your summer clothes in primark as i hate shopping so much...As in 3/4 trousers and shorts as well...In superdrug i got suntan lotion, after sun, midge repellant and stuff to put on if bit...Also got mini toothpaste, new toothbrush, mini lynx deoderant (he does like lynx) and mini lynx shower gel...Told him there will be just enuff in the mini ones to do the weekend and to just chuck away at end and not take home...A couple of close ups of detail on some of the cards...I need to go chat with K as she's not feeling too good...Sore throat etc and NHS24 wouldn't see her and she can't get an appointment with her GP <sigh>

Close up of beads on one of them...The large one in the middle is bohemian glass, the small bicone is clear swarovski crystal 4mm big...So although they look huge on here you can see how small they actually are...This is only an inch long in total

Here you can see the teensy seed beads on the pink heart...So teensy you can barely see them with naked eye as such...I covered the heart shape with them myself

Close up of the blue glitter heart with silver wire and 4mm swarovski crystal bicone

Close up of happy birthday motif...I embossed it using embossing powder...You stamp on the words/pictures then sprinkle the powder on top...Then you heat the powder and it melts leaving a raised image...I cut the card for the motif to size and then embossed

Close up of swarovski crystal on the wire heart, with the feathers and flower...The silver bits at ends of crystals or beads is the crimps...You put the crimp on then using pliers flatten it so it keeps bead in place
