What's A Girl To Do ..... DP2 Challenge #164

The challenge at DP2 Challenge this week is ...

..."Anything Goes"...

So, my "anything goes" card is one I made for my niece who was getting depressed and frustrated about finding a job.  She has since got herself a lovely part-time job at a local undertakers , which she oddly enjoys :D

I used the beautiful Trinity by Mo Manning and teamed her with the fab sentiment from Create with TLC

... and getting my money's worth by using her again on the inside :)

What a fab night we all had last night at the Psychic Supper! It was our first time at anything like this and OMG how did they know what they were telling us if someone from the other side wasn't telling them! I had my angel cards done first and she had me perfectly ... i told her nothing, didn't confirm or deny anything, she told us collectively (Sis, Dec, Andy, Fae, Ellie and me) that we had a female in our lives that was causing a lot of upset and it was time to just let it go! She had no idea we were related! She told hubby he was taking driving lessons, Ellie that she was having a new car and that the relationship that she was beginning now was probably the one as it was very strong, Fae and Ellie pulled out the same angel cards and she said "you're related, are you sisters?" now the girls weren't sat with one another and they don't look alike. Dec was told that his friend called Stephen was in the army and not to worry about him cos he would be ok and he'd see him again ... his best friend Stephen is in Afganistan! Oh i could go on, but i wont bore you with it all. We will be going again though!

Beth Update: Monday morning she got up saying she was cleaning her bedroom ... Sis told her she had to sort out a job or a college course. This caused an argument ... Beth ridiculed Sis for taking her to McDonalds Sunday evening to chat ... she then kept saying "again" in response to everything Sis said she was going to do. She left house saying she was going to look for full-time job, college course or going ski-ing in Scotland!!? We took it that she did the latter as there was no sign of her last night lol! Sis text her phone and her friends phone this morning saying that she'd had enough and that her clothes would be taken to where she was. Beth told sis not to do that, that she would come and sort things out ... sis not having anymore of it ... said "Again!" and told her that it enough was enough. Beth text saying she was on her way home ... 2 hours later sis and i went down with her car half full of the contents of Beth's bedroom ... I text saying be on front in 2 minutes to collect clothes ... out she came after we'd started unloading car ... she asked me what she was supposed to do with her stuff ... i didn't respond (daren't if the truth be know lol! my mouth gets carried away as you'll find out in the wedding story lol) ... she also asked the same to Sis ... Sis replied "not my problem anymore, its yours!" ... to say she was shocked was an understatement, but i think this was what was required. For the past few weeks, she come and gone as she pleased, with no consideration for anyone. Only coming back for clean clothes, a shower, money or food. It had to end sometime. No doubt she be back sometime ... she always does, but for now, she's on her own!

Wedding update to follow shortly!

New Job Card

My friend Paula asked me to make her friend a congratulations in your new job card...easy I thought, how wrong was I? After trawling the internet for inspiration for hours I did find things that helped. I knew I didn't want a typical new job card, whatever they are, I wanted something different and its that alright! lol! I have to admit to getting really excited about this card, not sure if I've over done it, but I love it anyway!
