My first card since before Christmas. I've been scrapping too much lately, it felt good to be able to muck about with choppy odds and ends and not worry about the end result. The frogs are off-cuts from one of the Basic Grey Color Me Silly papers - I used them in a LO that's on the ticker below.

I'm making plans for Ally Pally at the weekend!!! My friends and I are going down early Saturday and coming back late Sunday, so I will have to carry everything I take with me for two whole days. I therefore need a bag that is both commodious and comfortable. I have a lot of large bags, they sort of stack up when you have kids. The linings are stained with milk and fluffy sweets and nappy juice, but I suppose one will do.

I have seen this one though, by the Old Bag Company (love that name!).

They're selling it in my local Lakeland. It's nearly £30. That seems awfully extravagant, just for a bag. Especially when I'll be on a spending bender this weekend. I mean it is gorgeous - I've been into Lakeland a couple of times and looked at it and felt it and it's really well made and sensible, but kind of frivolous too. And it would make a great beach bag, and we really need a beach bag because we haven't got one. And it would be a great crop bag too. But still, £30...

[Listen up brain. You and I both know I'm going to buy that bag. Here's the deal. You find me an entry line for getting it into the house, EXCLUDING "What, this?? I bought it last year, don't you remember?", because frankly you've offered that one up a lot recently and I don't think he's buying it any more, and I will see about purchasing you some of those fish oils that you've been hankering after. Mmmm, lovely fish oils, yes? Oh, and "This? It was a birthday present" will no longer work either.]
