Now that we got that out of the way, how about some new music, hu?
My Song for this week is one I haven't listened to for ages but the video still brings a smile to my face these days - so inoffensive and just plain nice. The guys had to learn to play and sing backwards so that they looked as if they played "normal" when everything else in the background was going upside down and back and forth. The brothers used to be to nicknamed the Timotei Twins because of their hair and it is pretty cool that they are actually the sons of {ricky nelson}....

This video can't be embedded, therefore if you wanna see it, you will need to click on {this link} - sorry about that.

Moving on swiftly, it seems that my Word Of The Day is pretty fitting with the Twins....

moiety \MOY-uh-tee\, noun:

1. One of two equal parts; a half.
2. An indefinite part; a small portion or share.
3. One of two basic tribal subdivisions.

Actually I already have an idea for a layout using that word....

And then there is the Product Of The Week, of course. If you are anything like me, you can NEVER EVER have enough chipboard in your ever growing stash collection, right? No matter how hard I try not to buy anymore, there seems to be one or two still falling in my basket every time I shop.

I really love the 8,5 x 11 chipboard sheets from Frances Meyer, which come in different flower patterns and Tags & Bookmarks. Each sheet comes with 6 - 10 different shapes and they are so fun to work with.
They can be purchased for the tiny amount of 65p {here} or you leave a comment under this post to be in with a chance to win one of these sheets....good luck everybody

~*~ SOW - WOW - POW V ~*~

It is that time of week again when you have to endure strange videos and a lot of silly blabbering - but then again, what's different to any other post I do then *snort*

There will be no SOW - WOW - POW next week as I am on a one week break in Germany to visit my friend {nat} - who will hold a workshop at {scrapbook king}. I look forward getting my fingers dirty and to also finally meet the wonderful {andrea}.

That means of course that this weeks song has to be something really special - and it is, at least for me. Lyndon's most favourite band in the whole world and I have to agree - they are THE ones who ruled rock (and still do)

I couldn't find an exciting Word of the Week, so you have to make do with the "exiting"

sub rosa \suhb-ROH-zuh\, adverb:

1. Secretly; privately; confidentially.
2. Designed to be secret or confidential; secretive; private.

Lastly - here is my {product of the week}, which is a real favourite of mine lately: Vintage book sheets. Gotta love them and they are not always that easy to find in the old writing style. I seem to be using them on almost every project these days and as always you will have the chance to win yourself a set by leaving a comment underneath this post. The winner will be posted after I come back from my holiday around 10th June - good luck!

~*~ SOW - WOW - POW IV ~*~

Now tell me - how on earth did you survive the last two weeks without my words of wisdom, hu? HU??

I know it must have been so dang hard and I try to make up for it with some extra special stuff today *snigger*

First off is one of my all-time favourite bands with one of my all-time favourite song of theirs. Gosh they take me back to the fun filled 80's but have a look for yourselves

They are just the coolest EVAH!!!!

My Word of the Day is kinda lame, compared to the ones I found before, but still - it's something different I guess:

lionize \LY-uh-nyz\, transitive verb:

To treat or regard as an object of great interest or importance

I guess no one is lionizing this blog entry right now *lmbo*

Last but as always by no means least is my Product of the Week and I have to say that one of my favourite things to work with on any kind of projects are {tags and tickets}  - so, if you leave a comment under this post you will be put into the draw to win a selection of my favourite tags and tickets.

Thanks for reading as always and have a Happy Humpday

~*~ SOW - WOW - POW III ~*~

It is that time of the week again - Wacky Wednesday....wooooohooooo

Right now I am totally into the following song and I just love the video to bits. It's really nothing exiting and done so many times before but somehow it just hit a nerve with me.

Somehow I think my Word Of the Week fits neatly with the above rock song, watcha think?
lionize \LY-uh-nyz\, transitive verb:
To treat or regard as an object of great interest or importance.

And it also fits perfectly well with my Product Of the Week. This Wednesday I showing of my {bad} crochet skills *snigger* The other day, when I was bored and without computer I sat and did a couple of crochet flowers for upcoming projects. Little did I know those suckers are so quick to do and all of a sudden I was surrounded by them....so, what better idea than to put them up for sale.

You are in with a chance to win a set of 4 flowers {2 beige and 2 brown} if you leave a comment under this post. Alternatively, if you don't trust my Random Number Generator, you can of course buy some of the flowers {here}

~*~ SOW - WOW - POW II ~*~

No, I haven't gone cartoony on you, I just can't be bothered  to write Song Of the Week, Word Of the Week and Product Of the Week out in the title....yeah, I know not only am I beautiful but also very clever...ha ha ha ha ha (and so dang funny)

Are you ready for another Wednesday full of incredibly important information?? I am sure you're itching to know which pearls of wisdom I am going to throw at you so I am not gonna drag this out any longer.

You have to excuse the next video - in my defense when those boys were around I was a in full puberty mode and therefore I didn't know any better. I was sooooooooooo in love, sat crying in front of the telly when they came on (Lyndon says it's probably because deep down I knew they were ugly...but he's a bloke so what does he know). Granted, when I look at them today I do wonder what puberty does to do because quite frankly - they are NOT good looking AT ALL (and yes I WAS that shallow in my teenage years - I liked bands because of their looks and not because of their music)...but their music still rocks my world today *sigh*

How can I top that performance with the Word Of the Day you might wonder?? Hold on to your knickers, because you don't want to miss this:

salubrious \suh-LOO-bree-us\, adjective:
Favorable to health; promoting health; healthful.

Definitely something I am NOT doing unless you count having a bottle of wine every weekend to be salubrious. Now try teaming that with last weeks objurgate and you have wonderful possibilties:
If you don't live a more salubrious life I will objurgate all knowledge of you!

Wow, where did that come from?? I am a closet poet, me.

I better get back to serious matters otherwise I might  just lose the few readers I have left *snigger*

Soooooo, you wanna know what my POW is this week?? And you want another chance of winning said POW? Of course you do...

You might have noticed that of late I am terribly addicted to stamps and my new firm favourite are definitely the singles from (autumn leaves) . So reasonable to buy and so cute. My favourite at the moment has to be the butterfly (scroll to the bottom on above mentioned link to see) and if you leave a comment under this post your name will be entered into next weeks draw for this particular stamp.

Of course, you can always stop by the shop and buy the other designs :)

Happy Humpday everyone

~*~ Song of the week ~*~

I love music - I would not be able to exist without it and there are some songs that have captured me more than others. Those I would like to share with you every Wednesday (if I can get hold of them on {you tube} that is.

This week, let me introduce to you a song, which has been my favourite for almost 2 years now and I never grow tired of it. The funny thing is that even Lyndon loves that song (and he generally only listens to Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd).
Everytime I hear this it makes me smile and it has the campest video you can imagine.

You might have not noticed but I am also a very vocal person (yeah, I know...hard to believe) and therefore I love words - lots of them. When one word would be enough to describe something trust me to use 75 instead. I mean, c'mon we have all these wonderful words, might as well make use of them, right? And as I receive a Word Of The Day vial email you will find my Word Of The Week here on Wednesdays too.

For today, let me introduce you to OBJURGATE, which means: To express strong disapproval of, to critizise severely
(I bet you are really glad you looked at my blog today, hu?)

But there's more - would you believe that I love to create?? Yep, I sure do and so I would like to introduce to you my product of the week. Guess what - it will be featured here every Wednesday *snigger*

You know, sometimes I am so funny that I scare myself.
But I digress

My product for today has to be this gorgeous sheet of vintage office ledger sticker from {crafty secrets} which you can also buy from my shop. You can see our sticker section {here}

 

However, one lucky blog reader will win my product of the week - just because....I love RAK'ing things away, so if you like the ledger sheet all you need to do is leave a comment for this post and next Tuesday I will pick a random winner!
