Do as I say...

... not do as I do :)
The last thing I said to the kids on leaving the house this morning was, "Check you have your keys."

Tuesdays are the days I am given time to plan and mark, so i often come home to work as it is so  much easier to use a computer with a printer right next to it, instead of having to wander off to the other side of the school, memory stick in hand. I did some work at school, and headed for home at 2pm. On getting here, I realised I had left my door keys at home..... after going to a live football match last night (for the first time in well over 20 years) and had taken them out of my pocket before heading off to the stadium :(

 Two hours later I managed to get in, of course neither of the kids had their phones turned on, and  when I got hold of Katie, she had also left her keys indoors.  The moral of the story; don't go and watch live football, and never expect teenage kids to do as you ask them to. :D

As this purports to be a crafty blog i should share something.  This is the last of my Chinese whispers pages.


Liane sent me this page,

 I took inspiration from the title to make my LO.

 I also included dotty cardstock and substituted hearts  for the circles on her page.

The title was a bit of inspiration on my part ( a rare thing!) I had run out of the letters I wanted to use for the title (not enough n's), so I stuck them loosely onto the page and drew round them.

Then I removed the letters, doodled a design inside each one and added glossy accents to make them stand out.  A solution to that annoying time you have not enough vowels left in your Thickers set.

Off out to choir practice later, must make sure I take my keys :D
