Fun on Fursday (on Friday) - Simon's Cat strikes again!

Another new Simon's Cat film is out - this time, featuring the Kitten too!
I couldn't resist showing it to you; it will make you laugh - and cringe...

Fun on Fursday - That Cat Again! - May 31st 2012

I thought we'd all enjoy a bit of a chuckle - happy Thursday!

Fun on Fursday - the return!

Haven't posted a Fun on Fursday since last October...  Still, I thought this was fun and worth sharing.  It's my favourite cat again!

Have a laugh - it's Thursday!

Fun on Fursday 7 - My Favourite Cat Channel

A bit of fun, to make you smile - the newest video from the amazing Simon:

Hope it makes you smile!

Fun on Fursday 6 - the Scrap-page Version

What with summer holidays, bookbinding projects etc, I've neglected my "regular" Fun On Fursday slot... In fact, it's been about three months since I posted anything...

So, as the news from the Turtle pool has been rather dreadful the last few days (but an improvement at last report) and as we could all do with smiling a little, here's a scrapbook page I made on Sunday, just for fun, because I loved those photos:

This was at my little Great-Niece's Christening Day party, back in March.  All the kids had a go on the bouncy castle - even the babies (under supervision!).  Little E. was two-and-a-half, but she's so brave; she was up there with the other little kids, bouncing for all she was worth.  J and his cousins had a great time too, doing flips, rolling around, bouncing as high as they could etc. They just had the best time and it makes me smile to look at this photos.

Supplies: Pale blue cardstock is Bazzill Basics, stripey paper by Cosmo Cricket, blue-grey matting paper by My Minds Eye (BellaBella range), fun stickers by Me & My Big Ideas (from that fab Counterfeit Challenge Kit I won in Susanne's blog prize-draw), red & black newsprint letter stickers by Jenni Bowlin, orange letter stickers by Sassafrass, handwriting by me! 

A quick and simple page, but it makes me smile and I hope it will bring you a smile too!

Oh, and speaking of Deb Turtle and things that make me smile... This post was about an event that definitely made me smile a lot!  And it was all thanks to our lovely Deb!

Fun on Fursday 5

Just a bit of fun for a Thursday afternoon - a new Simon's Cat film:



Hope you liked it! (sorry about the silly advert that pops up - can't stop that!)

Fun on Fursday 4

Well I took the sample books to the shop today.  The lady was very enthusiastic and gave me a shelf of my own, in the glass display cabinet, where the books are now arranged on a piece of black velvet (!).  They all look very nice. Her colleague is going to make nice labels for them, to say what they are and also a label with the course details.  Who knows, I may even get some students!  The brochure for the summer courses is at the printers and due in the shop any day, so they are ready to sign people up (she seemed to think they'll have sign-ups completed in June... )  Exciting!

So, yesterday afternoon, this is what was on my Workdesk:

A box of socks...

...which made quite a mess on my desk!  This is my Sock Stash, which I am using to make samples etc for my Sock Monkey course.

Another boxful on the floor - this is the "after sorting out" picture.  These socks belong to the students.

So yesterday afternoon and also this afternoon, I have been Making Monkeys.  Pictures to follow, as they are "in progress" and I don't want to spoil the surprise. There are two just now, maybe three by tomorrow afternoon...if I have time!

Also today, the postie brought this:

My paper order! 

Five sheets of my Favourite Paper - and my customers' favourite too.  More books can be made!

I ordered these two papers too, to see if they would appeal to anyone.  I've added them to my Facebook album full of Paper Choices!  I like the red birds & birdcages one - I may have a use for this very soon! 

All these papers are made by a company called Cavallini.  The quality is wonderful and they have a fine, slightly ribbed texture, which makes them very nice to handle. 

I also ordered this!   I thought I would put it on the wall of my studio, so I can see where many of my Blog Friends live - and also where my books are going to  (those that go to the USA of course).  I will see if I can find a World Map also.  Such fun!

And I looked out of my Studio window this evening - this is what I saw:

Floating right by my house!!

Finally, something I've been saving for today - a favourite "Cheezburger" picture -

Made me smile... it's so true.

Happy Thursday, everyone! 

Fun on Fursday 3 (that cat again...)

Well, it has to be this, really - a brand new Simon's Cat video on his You Tube channel:

It's made my day! And just in time for Easter too... Hope you enjoy it!

Fun on Fursday 2

It's Fursday again! Sorry, let's try again - Thursday again.  Hummmm...

Anyway, I said I was trying to start a regular "thing" called "Fun on Fursday".  Yesterday's post could have been today's, as it was rather fun... but then, I posted it yesterday because I wanted to smile at it... so it couldn't be today's post as well, could it? 

I thought of leaving this post til tomorrow, since I've been rather busy nursing a poorly mum today (on the mend thanks!).  But then, it wouldn't have been "Fun on Fursday", but "Fursday's Fun on Friday", which doesn't quite have the same ring about it. And of course, if you're Amy, it will definitely be On Friday anyway, since it's now mid-morning in Australia. Still...

Fun on Fursday

Today's "Fun" is another Link. 

Why? 

Because I have been told it's naughty to copy other people's blogs without asking. 

Because this is my Very Favourite Blog

Because there have been two new posts recently, after a long absence, which makes me smile.

Because Everyone Needs to Know about Tummy Mountain.

Because Everyone Needs to Know about Tummy Mountain Recipes too.

When you've finished marvelling at the culinary skills of the Little Ones, why not click the "Home" tab and read some posts too?  You won't be sorry.

I hope you think this is Fun.  Happy Fursday (sorry, Thursday)!

Fun on Fursday...

Firstly, Hello to all new visitors, especially if you have dropped by from Shimelle's BFS forum!  Glad to have you here, please take a look around, feel free to read and explore any posts you fancy; I love to read people's comments, so don't be shy - tell me what you think!

Okay, so today the BFS prompt was about having a regular slot on your blog, where you post about a particular topic/subject.  I'm not sure I'm into this idea really, but I thought I might have a try....

So here is the first of what might become a regular feature, if I feel like it...

Fun on Fursday

(well, I can't spell it with a "Th" or it wouldn't look right and "Thun" is a Non-Word!

and no, it has nothing to do with furry creatures - well, not today anyway...)

To kick off... Try following this link, to Hopeitrains' blog.  This is quite possibly the most hilarious blog post on the whole internet.  I stumbled upon it from my LizzieMade page on Facebook; it is the blog of the owner of a business called FionaT, which I follow on my page. 

If you don't agree that this is Fun, then I won't bother with any more... but if you like it, leave me a comment and I'll look out for something to post about next week!
