YIPPPPEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

I was so confused and then very excited today...

So anyway, a pizza box arrived with the postman today and of course we all know what that means lol!! However the enjoyment was marred by confusion and accusation. I (foolishly!! some would say) Share not only a house but a CREDIT CARD!!!! Yikes!! with my mum!! So both being shopping obsessed Scrappers we have gone more than a tad over the top in the shopping stakes in the last year or 2, so we are on a complete stash ban!!! I tried it before but it didn't work so I have been quite proud of myself this time!

So when I walked back from the front door, mum gave me an awful look and asked " what the hell have you bought now!!! so much for the stash ban" I was really upset and replied NOTHING!!!! I have not bought a thing ( secretly wracking my brains to be sure I had not had a moment of weakness lol) so I got my trusty craft knife and opened it. It was the Cupcake BG collection pack and some co-ordinating ribbon! I was still completely confused and mum looked even more annoyed as BG sets are a typical me purchase. I took them out, still bemused until all was revealed by the with compliments slip I found in the bottom of the box which was from Mel and Jill at ATDML ( A trip down memory lane) . A while ago I came in as one for the runners up for thier BG competition. I had totally forgotten and even if I had remembered I did not expect such a stunning prize. I though maybe a pack of BG rub-ons or similar but a whole collection pack left me totally chuffed and so excited as I had not had a stash fix for quite a while.
So a HUGE thanks to ATDML for my gorgeous prize, I must confess that initially cupcake was one of my least favourite lines but having seen it in the flesh and having used the only 2 sheets I owned on my Artist lo the other day I am completely hooked. While I am talking about ATDML.
I also love the fact they have a loyalty scheme. Thanks again ladies you made my day.

While I was taking pictures of my prize, Pheobe my smallest was half asleep next to it, so I was chatting away to her about my win, telling her what a lucky mummy she has (As you do!!!) and you can see her response below.

A completely bored Yawn which she followed with curling back down to sleep. (some days I really wish I was a cat lol).

It was quite satifying seeing mum grovel for a while aswell lol. Bless her! I love you MUM!!!
