Super - Doopah Light show


You might have to click the button twice to get the video going

Last Wednesday I met my friend Ailsa in town so we could have a mooch round the new Cath Kidson shop that has opened there. It's all lovely stuff but bit too pricey for my liking. For example they had hot wheat bags at £18 - I have been pricing them because I had a slight accident with mine recently (I had gone to bed and was feeling a bit chilly so called down to my husband who was still downstairs to ask him to pop it in the microwave for me, and just lobbed it over the bannisters. The bag split, there was wheat all over the shop and the subsequent vacuuming warmed me up sufficiently that I no longer required the hot wheat bag) Anyway hot wheat bags anywhere else are about £6, so I maintain my position that CK are a bit pricey.

We then went and had tea and cakes in "The Mock Turtle" which is a wonderful old fashioned teashop with homemade cakes, proper tea in a brown betty teapot (tea leaves, strainer,the lot) It is a wonderful experience but not to be repeated too frequently as it is hazardous to the waistline.
We then trotted a long to the new(ish) library because Ailsa hadn't ever seen it which is where this post becomes relevant to my card blog. I bought the card in the video for my niece who has her 6th birthday tomorrow. I was going to make her one but thought that this looked far more fun - a bit pricey at £4.50 bt worth it for the novelty I think. I did make a card withmy craft robo using a pattern from the Just Cutters CD, for my daughter to give her but the photo doesn't show it off to its best advantage, and it has been posted now so no time to re-shoot. Please excuse the background noise to the vid, I had the telly blaring away watching "Grand Designs" and the strange noise at the end is a creaking floorboard as I walked across to turn off the camera!
