Cop It!!!

OK... it's been another week... and a half. I have been lazy... updating my blog, that is. Well, just plain lazy in general. Most days I find myself just glued to my computer - forums, emails, yet not updating my blog. I'm a sad case.

On Saturday, I was driving to Ruey's place for a crop. On my way to her place, I met with a minor accident. Basically, I was stopped at the traffic lights, got distracted, released the foot brake without realising, and the car rolled forward and bumped the car in front of me. That was not the big deal. The big deal was it was a cop car.

A FREAKIN' COP CAR.

I panicked. I really didn't know what to do when you hit a cop car! The lights turned green, I froze. I wasn't sure if he wanted to pull to the side because he hadn't put the indicator on. And he didn't signal me what to do either. Do I go? (OF COURSE NOT!!!! YOU IDIOT!!!! That will be undisputably a hit and run, you stupid cow!!!!! And then you can forget about seeing daylight in a cell!) After what seemed like eternity, I finally saw him pulling to the side and I followed. I didn't even wait for him to say anything, I offered him my driver's license as if I was bribing him. He took all my details, my registration number, and said that it was probably nothing serious. (NOTHING SERIOUS? REALLY? You mean nothing's going to happen to me?) Then he said, he'll take it back to the station, and if the 'guys' can polish it off, I won't hear about it. (What do you mean if the 'guys' can polish it off? Let me polish it for you NOW! I'll do it for FREE! Cos I REALLY don't want to hear about it... EVER!!) Anyway, we split. And I felt like I'm doomed. Cos now I have to "hear about it" from my husband. That's the other difficult obstacle I have to get through. Sigh....

Needless to say, my scrapping mojo got arrested by the cop car. I couldn't even finish one layout that day. By the evening, I called hubby to bring the kids over to Ruey's as well. So we can have dinner, and hopefully this bad luck will bring me some good luck at poker.

We had another poker game with Ruey, Joseph, Nucel and Tom. This time I had a better grasp of the game. It was really fun. I did have an early win but lost the winnings throughout the rest of the game. Hubby was filthy when I told him about the accident. So the win probably made him a lot happier. Even though it wasn't real money we were playing with, but he's a man. Any win is a good win.


So... throughout the week and a half, I did about 6 layouts. However, one has been picked for publishing by FK, the other 2 are 8x8s for the ABC album which I won't be showing.

Title : Let's talk. 8.5x11" using the latest Basic Grey Romani Gypsy papers. I also used some dew drops I bought from Scrapbook Society. I love the size of these beads. They are easy to pick up with thumb and index, apply glue to and stuck down. Shame I didn't get more colours.



Title : If friends were flowers, I will pick you. 11x8.5" using SEI Winnie's Walls papers, rubons, iron-ons, alpha stickers.. etc. The Li'l Davis flower was cream and I inked all the petals with matching colours. Some of the flowers in the 'garden bed' are raised.


Title: Scrapoholics Anonymous. This is a layout of my scrapping friends, Jane Fitchett (DT on For Keeps mag.), Shirley Chai (also DT on For Keeps mag. and many others) and Ruey Enanoria (DT on Arty Pants)..... shheeeesh, all the name-throwing! LOL... Photo was taken at a cafe in Mornington. 12x12 using Fancy Pants and Kodomo Inc. papers, Pressed Petals chipboard letters, Doodlebug letters, Fancy Pants flowers, Petaloo flower, Fancy Pants rubons, 7Gypsies rubbings and tag, GinX rubons and Technique Tuesday arrow tile.



Thanks for looking. Have a nice week.
