My Super Power is Princessitude ...... The Deconstructed Sketch #45

The bowling was an utter success on Saturday.  We all had so much fun it was unbelievable and now we can't wait to go rollerskating this month to celebrate 3 birthdays.   ...  feeling a bit out of sorts today and yesterday, think I've managed to catch that flaming 48 hour  thats going around.  Been spending most of the time on the  but have managed a spot of crafting in between.  Just wish i could get rid of the  feeling!

A photo taken on Saturday L-R back row ... Carrie (Niece), Me, Ebony (great niece, Carrie's daughter)

L-R front row .... Fae (my eldest daughter), Mum, Koree (my youngest grandson) and Eloise (my youngest daughter)

This weeks DS sketch is great and I couldn't wait to play with it ... 

I made this card for my great-niece Ebony's 16th birthday, which will be one of the birthdays we're celebrating. ...

Life is more Fun when you Dance .... Teddy Bo Top Tips ...

Jill Henson is the first to show us a tutorial for the Teddy Top Tips Tutorials.

She has made a tutorial for a post-it easel card cos she think's it's a perfect little gift,
for yourself or for someone you care about.

Everybody over at Teddy Be Towers likes nothing better than to have a nosey round and see what we've all be creating with our favourite little bears.  So if like me you make a Teddy Bo & Co post-it note easel card using Jill's tutorial and submit the entry you get the added bonus of not only having created a fab gift but also a FREE IMAGE as a thank you for sharing with them!

Not one to pass up a freebie LOL, I had to have a little play with this.  So here is my version ....
