My favourite blog

I definitely have an absolute favourite blog and it has nothing to do with scrapbooking. It is called 'Cake Wrecks'. You can find it at http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/ Please take a look - I have been known to sit here with tears literally rolling down my face, unable to breathe for laughing. It is not only the pictures but the blog owner, Jen, has a wicked sense of humour. Hope you enjoy it too! Sue x

Didn't we have a lovely time the day we went to Gloucester....

...a beautiful day, we had lunch on the way and all for under 22 pounds you know,
And on the way back we sat in the back and stroked our scrapbooking paper,
Singing a few of our favourite songs as the wheels went round.

(OK so maybe not the singing bit!)

Sue x

ROAD TRIP!!!!

I can't quite believe that it's time for our first road trip! It doesn't seem like it was five minutes ago that it was spring and now here we are just about to go for our autumn trip.

We're off to Paperarts in Stroud to do some serious damage to our credit cards!! Credit Crunch or not, nothing gets in the way of stash accumulation. Then we're having a spot of lunch and on to Gloucester Marina and Cathedral for photo opporunitues (well we have to have an excuse for buying the stash).

I'm really looking forward to it and if you haven't yet booked your place....why not? You may still be in with a chance just email your request to mail@scrapbus.co.uk.

See ya Saturday
