To be honest I quite enjoyed myself even when it poured with rain... I ran the 5km in 34 minutes - not too shabby for a first go! So, when I got home I thought I'd better document my outing with a photo of my gorgeous drowned rat look. I hadn't realised what a lovely shade of pink I was lol.
The kids immediately decided they needed to take a self-portrait too - here's Angus' effort. He claimed it turned out this way because of his height - hmm - think you're kidding yourself buddy!
And then Zoë had a turn and check this out! She's got self-portraits down pat :)
Anyway - enough of the kid antics - back to me! My knee was a little sore after the run and when I got out of the car at home it had completely seized up. A trip to the physio has confirmed that I've damaged my cartilage and I'm now on crutches - what a goose! Fingers crossed the cartilage is merely bruised and will be all good in a week or so.
And now after that sports report let's turn our attention back to scrapping :)
Continuing to indulge my love of Kim Archer @ Home workshops, I signed up for a class designed by Yvette Adams called Glitter Couture. I've been a fan of Yvette's for a quite while now and this class was fab. Lots of lovely glittery touches and three beautiful LOs to complete.
Here's my first LO using a photo of Krissy and her husband (for the photo swap over at WP). I was really pleased with how it turned out - hope Krissy likes it too - it's winging its way to her right now :) I used pearl glimmermist on the serviette and it gave it a fabulous shimmery effect (Yvette used a dressmakers pattern on her LO but I don't have any of that and the plain serviette looked a bit stark).
And while we're talking about Wicked Princesses - here's a bit news to get you in a scrappy mood:
So lovely of you to drop by :) See you again soon, it's time now for me to ice my knee again...
