Plugged in and recharging....

Hello all and I hope that your week has started well?  We seem to have had a busy few days, my husband got back from Dubai on a work trip at the end of last week, and my daughter and boyfriend left for a post-exams holiday in Lanzarote yesterday - so we seem to have had suitcases and laundry all over the place lol!  Thankfully the weather has been lovely, so at least we've been able to sit out, have a bbq (and get the laundry dry lol!).  Anyway, I'm hoping to catch up with everyone's blogs over the next day or so - and apologies if I've not been to 'visit'.

Just thought I'd share this card with you today as when I saw this Mo image 'Paul texting' I just had to have it - as the current 'owner' of a teenage boy it was just so perfect!  Our gorgeous little boy has undergone something of a transformation over the last year or so.  He seems to constantly have something plugged in somewhere about his person, headphones connected to iPod, phone, computer, xBox, etc. Communications with us are kept to a minimum (the occasional grunt), and he converses mostly with his mates over the ether of the internet via Skype or xBox, and I've learnt not to burst into his room as his mates are often on a webcam! We're convinced that aliens have taken over his body, and all those wires are recharging him or helping him communicate with the mothership......

And Mo's image is built like my son too - all legs and arms!  I've coloured the image with copics and a little pencil. 

The backing paper is from K&Co and I've distressed the edges of the coredinations card used for matting and layering. I've added a little grey seam binding ribbon and button. 

Despite all this, I love my son to bits!  He is in a bit of grump this week though as he's got exams all week at school (he's 14) and he'd rather be on his computer or strumming his guitar than having to revise! Just a typical teenager really! 

Anyway, I'll stop waffling now and get some jobs done then start having a browse round Blogland! 

Back soon,
