WOYWW - 09/06/2010

Hello! If you visited last week you will know that Mr Paper took a bit of time out to create a scrapbook page for our album as there were no pages just about me, I was so proud of of him, snapped a pic of him and the page and duly posted it for WOYWW. In the words of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman...

"Big Mistake, Huge"

When he came home from work I got him to read the post and he was quite touched about what I wrote, but then, then he started to read the comments. Ladies, I appreciate every last comment left on this here blog but oh my goodness what did I unleash? He sat and read every last one and lapped it up, he sat at the computer with a smile like the proverbial cheshire cat, every few moments asking me 'have you read this, have you?' he loved it, a bit too much methinks, loudly proclaiming that he had won himself 'husband points' for being so romantic as he isn't one for romance usually (I did tell him that it wasn't something to be too proud of!) however, he did say that it wasn't something he was planning on doing often, but with so many kind, sweet comments he may be inclined to do it again in a few months, although I suspect that has more to do with you ladies than me, so, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, as does Mr Paper.

So, on to this week, here's what's on my desk as of midnight last night:

A little sneak peek at a Cratfy Templates DT project i'm working on involving promarkers and shrink plastic, however I am not holding my breath with this one, it may be destined for the bin as shrink plastic and a drill bit do not seem to be friends which really ruins the whole thing!

Here's a card I made this week, trying to go victorian vintage, it feels like something is missing though, my head seems to be all in a muddle this week, I am on call for 1 week out of 5 and this is my week, 7.00am-11.00pm and it really deprives me of my much needed creativity sleep!

I was so pleased to visit 95% of WOYWW posted on the Stamping Ground last week and hope to manage every last one of you this week! It is just so much fun :) Have a great week and I 'll hopefully see you here next week :)

  2. Which just goes to show that men have egos, too. I'm glad he enjoyed the comments, though. I'm sure there were a bunch. I'm still in awe of all those pens, and that card is wonderful. I would say you do vintage very well.

  3. Aw your sweet husband...make him get over it fast!! I love the card, but never ask me what's missing, I do not know where or when to stop. As for the shrink plastic - punch it before you shrink it...drilling tends to split it..or put tape across the back and drill through it, might give it some integrity.....was that the prob or am I just jumping to assumptions agaiN!!

  20. its so funny that he was lapping up all those comments - at least you got him to be interested.. having said that, after having my surgery - i got my OH to use the cuttlebug to make some Easter cards for me as i couldn't even turn the handle - still having probs now, but he's kept clear since - at least i know no one will rummage through my stash.

  27. Just look at all those pens in their neat little cubby holes! Love that Victorian card, it's just gorgeous. Shall we just let Mr Paper have his moment of glory - let's face it, he was being rather more heroic than most of ours will ever manage!
