15% Off All Purchases! Polly Says: Now That Can't be Bad...

This weekend, to compensate us ladies who aren't exactly crazy about footie for the inconvenience caused by the World Cup 2010 we are being offered a great special offer by the owners of All Tea Towels! This company specialises in all manner of linen tea-towels with a bit of a twist on the traditional, ie pretty pictures and patterns combined with good old fashioned drying power!

Their generous offer of 15% discount on all purchases over the course of this weekend. There is a catch however, it really is just for the ladies! Quote:  worldcup15 and cross your fingers that you get there in time. In addition to this this offer has certain restrictions which are that the "discount will work with NoChex & Paypal card payment options - not Google Checkout."


So, why not just sit back and enjoy? Go on, give it a whirl and pick up some lovely new tea-towels that like all linen will become soft and absorbent once you've washed them a couple of times to remove the dressing. Best of all, they won't leave those annoying bits of fluff all over the glasses you'll be using while hubby enjoys the sporting activities over the next month or so!

Speaking of glasses, that would possibly lead one to believe that the average soccer husband drinks beer. I know, that's an outrageous statement but it does happily link two completely different topics to the world cup!
Lorna, over at Garrendenny Interiors is running her Freebie Friday again this week, apologies for the lateness of this post - I fell asleep over the puter last night and it simply had to wait until this morning!!!! LOL!


Anyway, this week's giveaway is a Black & Blum Jimmy Keyring & Bottleopener - perfect for opening those crown cap bottles that are so popular these days. For more on this why not head over to my other blog Polly's Peri-wrinkles & Piercings! for another good read before you enter...


As the All Tea Towels site wouldn't let me lift an image to show you, I thought I'd showcase Sandie Dunne's latest scrapbooking layout. She's this months guest designer on the Studio Challenges blog and the challenge was to celebrate the World Cup! Problem is, she's not into footie, like so many of us ladies, so she decided to scrap her own soccer hero instead.

Right so, I'm off! Have a great Sunday and don't forget the World Cup doesn't last forever, make the best of it and take the opportunity to do something that you wouldn't normally do...like scrapbooking!

Bye!

What Colour is your Soul Painted?

Hi there! Here's a little something I came across while browsing through some of my favourite blogs earlier this morning:

What color is your soul painted? Red Your soul is painted the color red, which embodies the characteristics of love, strength, physical energy, sex, passion, courage, protection, excitement, speed, leadership, power, danger, and respect. Red is the color of the element Fire, and is associated with blood, life and death, birth, volcanoes, and intense emotions. Click Here to Take This Quiz

Many thanks to Janice at Serial Crafter & Forum Junkie whose blog I came across thanks to the magnificent Craft Journal site; Janice is a regular contributor there.

The reason I was browsing the Craft Journal site is because I am the lucky winner of their monthly "Stash Giveaway"! Being somewhat curious and a little excited, (translates into impatient) I just had to check it out to see what I might have won. If last months prize is anything to go by, I should be very pleased when my postie finally delivers it; sadly, today is not the day.

If anyone reading this, out there in the 'Blogosphere' has more than a passing interest in crafting; maybe you could subscribe to The Wizards Crafts Chat"n"Swap Forum-Worldwide. If anyone is interested please click here to follow the link and join up. At the moment it is planned to close this site on the first of December, due to overwhelming competition from other more established forums. Wouldn't it be great if we could all club together and prevent this from being necessary?

On an even more sombre note; my new online friend Fly Lady has difficult times to cope with at the moment. It seems that her sister, Paddi is extremely ill; in intensive care to be precise. I have received a couple of e-mails asking for support in the form of a prayer dedicated to her recovery.

Considering the support Fly Lady has offered to so many, in terms of assisting our escape from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome); I think that this is a nice way to offer her our thanks. I realise that some might consider it a bit cheesy; however, the power of prayer is vastly under rated.

If anyone has encountered a publication called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, they would be very much aware of the philosophy which underpins its phenomenal success. The Secret is simply the power of positive thinking; the law of universal attraction. There are many who would equate this radical new concept as being very much akin to good old fashioned prayer, & leading a spiritual life!

Another example of positive thinking/prayer can also be found on the Fire the Grid website. A very good friend of mine introduced me to this some time ago. Unfortunately, that same friend is in the habit of sending trivia; I didn't open her e-mail in time to participate in what was shaping up to be a worldwide event. I am pretty sure that it went ahead a planned and I do hope that the world is a better place as a result.

To find out more about Fire the Grid follow the link and be patient; what follows is quite a lengthy series of video presentations. They are interesting and certainly thought provoking, well worth watching ...

I'm off to perform my version of Zone 3 now, I've already given the bathroom a quick swish on my way through and now I'm going to finish tidying up my PC. It's amazing how much quicker things are going; now that I have done my 27 fling boogie on all those duplicated files and spam!

I'm going to love you and leave you now, please say a little prayer for Paddi, and for everyone sick in hospital at the moment...

All my love
