Feeling funky

Well not really in that I am in the middle of my essay writing week. Not actually begun the writing yet but the planning is well on the way. I have tidied away almost all my craft stuff as I wouldn't be able to get a word done at my normal desk. What the kids will do when they realise I have commandeered the laptop I don't know... but the bright white space of the conservatory is just what I need. It also means I can keep an eye on the chooks. Mr Fox arrived at 5:30 last night. Fortunately the girls were already in their run but it gave me quite a turn. Don't foxes know that they are only allowed out when it is dusk?

The reason I am feeling a tad funky is that Anice's new CD rom Funky Word books was launched on Ideal World yesterday. And it sold right out! Sadly, you can't order it direct from Anice until 11th May so I'll remind you about it then. But just to whet your appetite...
The "U" was actually on stripy paper so I cut it out and added it to spot paper. Aren't these colours lovely? Every set of papers for the word book is completely different
the little letters are part of the set.
and you also get full page matching papers to use for your layers too. This is the "Spotted you" collection
And this uses the "Midnight flowers" collection, a fiskars punch and a QK die. It is an A5card (gasp!) In order to be seen well on screen we have to make big cards but I am pleased with how this one turned out. The stitching is faux, naturally. The sentiment is hand written. One day I will perfect that style!

Right, essay plan awaits. Grrrr
