One of those weeks...but a gorgeous swap!

Phew........Its been one of those weeks where you dont even get time to catch your breath before you have go and do something else!!
I did manage to go and see "Confessions of a shopaholic", Ive read the book which I enjoyed throughly and the film didint disappoint either, I imagine we have all been in the same situation though mine is CK rather than clothes!!!!




I recieved a wonderful swap gift from Paula, we are part of a wonderful community of Shabby-Chicers at the Shabby Chic Cafe.
Paula is soooo talented as you will see from the beautiful hand painted goodies I got.
Thank you so much Paula, you really brightened up my week!!!

Be prepared to drool and dont do it on the keyboard please, very un-sightly!
