New stash and mini album...

I got some more stash to add to my collection...most of it is Love Elsie (so predicatable!). There's also a Maya Road chipboard mini book which I may use to do a Royal Wedding album.

Another idea for a mini book (which my best scrappy friend told me about- thanks Kara) is using a toilet roll tube, squashing it flat and inserting tags inside for journalling, so cool.

Here's the video:

I made another mini book recently of our birthday trip to St. David's bay in Wales.  Our birthdays are only two days apart so we usually go away for a little trip together to celebrate :)

This is a picture of my hubby changing the wheel on our car and the story goes like this:

we're driving along the M4 at 70mph

Abby:   " Baby the car feels like it's shaking alot."

Hubby: " Oh, don't worry it's just cos it's old and we're going fast."

Abby:   "But it feels like its wobbling, much more than on the journey out here!"

Hubby: "Are you sure?"

Abby:   "Yeah I really think we should pull over and check what's wrong!"

So we pull over and I drive the car around the forecourt of the petrol station a couple of times....

Hubby: "Yeah actually that back wheel looks very wobbly!"

Abby:   "Let's look at it....."

Turns out the tyre rubber had split and the metal wire(s) was sticking out! The tyre was now twisting on the rim (hence the wobbling!). So, out comes the car jack, spare tyre and Hayes manual....15 mins later we're wobble-free down the M4!

Last but not least, as promised, here are some photos of our chickens in their little palace:

 

 What is that strange creature in the run??
