Village on the Fridge


The Houses are a culmination of 2 swaps, and are mounted on a ruler I bought at the swap meet last week.


Left to right:

Kathy Thompson, Gaby Bieberle, Donna Taylor, Debbie Larcombe, me, Teresa Abajo, Jenny Crossley, Jenny Crossley (again), Cecile Nichols, me, Kathy Thompson, Linda Cain, me, Donna Taylor, Gail Smith, Jenny Crossley,me, Gisele Thierzen, me
**update*** I've had a few comments about the ruler idea and I just want to point out that I got the idea of using the ruler from Cecile Nichols. Although she used a yardstick. I found a yard stick at the junk meet that Jen and I went to but they wanted a ridiculous amount for it, so I settled for this fine little ruler!

Junk Glorious Junk!




What would a trip out with Jen be without a bus trip photo! As you seee Jen (with glasses) was wearing her support hose and sensible shoes.


We managed to buy (between us) a whole box of watch bits so we will have a few bits for sale, so keep your eyes peeled for those. I went mad on keys (as usual) so will have a few of those for sale too.


The medical diary is a crack up, have already got a few atc's in mind using bits out of it.
Excellent Day out ;-)


New "Jenny" Necklace


I've had a bit of a rough week, but had a fab day with Jenny C at a swap meet and also visited one of her favourite antique stores.

Jen and I have the same sense of humour (a bit warped at times) and we had so much fun yesterday. But boy did we walk! Husband Mark was kind enough to drop us off and pick us up at the far end of the swap meet once we got too tired ;-) Thanks Mark.

I'll post photos of the loot soon ;-)

Jen was kind enough to give me another necklace. She is such a clever thing! THANK YOU so much for this Jen ;-) And thanks for such a fun day ;-)

Happy Birthday Sis


This isn't going to get to New Zealand in time, but at least it's finished before the big day. My poor friend Wendy will be getting her 50th card and present on her 51st Birthday I think!


The necklace is a Crozzy design ;-)

But.. the weekend was over TOOOO soon!
