Altered notebook

Well I had intended to show you something completely different today but my camera isn't playing!! One of my minor gripes today.... first one being parking.... aaaaaargh. I take DG once a fortnight to pay his pocket money into the bank (see I can be a serious Nanna sometimes...trying to convince him that saving IS a good thing)... so this takes me all of FIVE minutes to go in and make a deposit with him. I always have my £1.20 'daylight robbery cash' for parking money ready but today having NO extra change I was hopping about like a mad frog when I realized it had gone up to £1.40 !! So rather than risk a £20 fine for not displaying my ticket and only having a tenner I had to drive out of the car park to go in hunt for change. Stopped at a shop to be told I would have to spend something so they could open the till to give me some change!! So a packet of chewing gum later I returned to park the car... only for the parking meter to swallow my first pound without registering... so now my parking cost me £2.40 cos there was no-one around to give me a refund... though I bet if I had left the car in a bay and gone change hunting, there would have been a trillion parking attendants there with their little book of tickets ready to slap one on my windscreen...bah!! Next trip was to Tesco who have refurbished their store but forgot to change the signs.... as if it wasn't hard enough to find anything now, goes down the signposted aisle to pick up some soup... and yes you've guessed it no soup...lol So I thought no way am I going to wander round here for an hour for the sake of a tin of Heinz... no matter how delish it is, so I asked an assistant where to find it. The answer.... "oh didn't you know it's up by the crisps now"? Well Hello... yes of course I know that which is why I have a trolley load of soup cans!! and on top of that I'm wandering round like a headless chicken...lol
Some days home seems so undervalued but boy was I pleased to come back through my own front door and put all of the little annoyances behind me... well apart from blurting them out on my blog to you that is...lol
Anyway this is a notebook I covered a few weeks ago... and forgot to show you... (a Tesco's one no less...lol) I wanted to play flower making again and it is kinda taking over my life right now... haven't got much to put them on but can't stop putting them together :)
The papers and twill ribbon are from Cosmo Cricket ' Haunted' kit and I just adore this paper especially...

I just think the distressed edges are totally scrummy. Colours in the photos look a wee bit different but I assure you it IS all the same book.

This is the completed thing... the cheap as chips notebook also had an elastic wrap to keep it closed which I think finishes it off nicely and which I have to say inspired my use of paper and embellishments too.

Hope you like it... and forgive me for waffling so much... a girls just gotta do what a girls gotta do and it was just one of those days :) I'm a happy bunny now though and it's almost time for X Factor so I am off to watch a little bit of telly for a change.

Hope you are all having a great weekend.

hugs
