Summer Day Dreaming

Evening peeps

That was a rude awaking this morning, I was down to work 9 - 6 today, but the other Supervisor rang a 4.30 this morning asking if I could get in as soon as possible.  By the time I got there, she was in tears, the shop was a mess and we were due a visit from the Area Manager.  A lot of hard work went into this morning, but I think we managed to get it back to a reasonable state.


Anyway, I am so tired tonight that I'm not sure how I managed to do any crafting, but I have made a Birthday card.  The digital stamp is a My Besties from Sherri Baldy and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.


Other materials used are:

White card stock
Digital patterned papers
M & C Boutique Stitched Circles die set
Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms die
Crafters Companion Signature Collection Flit And Flutter die set
Cut & Make Birthday die
Earthones espresso ink pad
Dazzlers
Gemstones

Pond Love

Evening peeps

I have a new respect for the young lads that work the freezer section, that is not an easy job.  I have been in and out of the backup freezer since 1 o'clock day and I'm still not that happy with the shop floor.  I think the cold environment and the fact that all the boxes look the same makes it a nightmare to pick.  I'm just hoping that the more I do it, the better I will get.


Anyway, I have a quick clean and simple card tonight with a love theme.  The digital stamp is called Love Bubbles from The Paper Shelter and it has been coloured using Copics and ProMarkers.

Flower Sprite

Evening peeps

I think my son is starting to realise that in 3 weeks he will be home from uni for good and he's not coping very with it.  He's seeing it as a step back and that he has wasted the last three years of his life because he hasn't got a job yet.  I don't know what to do other then to tell him to keep looking and that the perfect job will come along eventually.
