Just a quickie

Hello ladies, I've just popped in quickly to tell you that I'm back safe and sound from Tunisia.  The journey home was HORRIFIC but, unfortunately, not funny at all.  As my first plane took off, I developed an awful migraine.  Cue much verystrongdrug-taking later, I staggered off the plane looking like someone who'd been sampling what they've smuggled* and so got pulled over to be searched...  I cried.  Great sobbing wails, not just a little tear on the cheek, full on Iwantmymumming.  Don't judge - she had her hands down my pants.  British pants, not American pants.  Knickers if you will.

But, on the good side of life, I won a prize in the Zakka sew along and got an honorable mention here! **  The post (the second one) talks about the lack of testing in craft books, it's a good read so go and have a look.

I also heard I won a prize on the Moda blog hop !  How exciting, so many prizes recently.  I will of course show you what I won when the prizes arrive and I have thanked the giveawayers appropriately...

I bought a few French craft mags at CDG airport, this was before the searching incident... I'll show you soon.  I know you're not supposed to have a post without a photo, but I've never stuck to the rules.

Don't forget that tonight is FNSI with Bobbi and Heidi, Heidi has the sign ups this week.  Am I right in thinking we get until Sunday night to post our results?  Did I just make that up?



 
*No smuggling occured during my trip to Tunisia, at least not by me or anyone I know.  I did return with rather a lot of chocolate and a packet with 7 Marlboro Lights in it, but I'm pretty sure that's legal.
 
** It's not really honorable.  It's just a mention but I'm excited about it anyway!

That darn 'recommend on google' thing has wiped out a good portion of your post again. :(

Eeeeeeeeeeek you got groped - just what you needed after enduring a migraine! :( I hear sometimes the "checkers" can get quite up close and personal *ahem*. Not pleasant, so sorry you had to go through that!

Congrats on the wins! I can't wait to see what you won :D

The Google/recommend thing looks fine to me - maybe it was acting up before - I did see it take over a previous blog post of yours, so it seems somewhat random! Your FNSI photo isn't loading all the way though, lol! Odd!
