Well, have been at my Dove photo shoot today and it was great fun. We had a great day although only 3 of us owned up to being MSE'ers :-)

Had hair and makeup done and got a nice goody bag too.

Thank you Dove :-)

Aww, wow! Was it for the adverts? Did you have to get naked? :eek:

It sounds great fun, lol. I need to enter more competitions!

Cool!! You'll have to let us know when the pics are out- is it for a magazine? Or was it a comp prize? ( sorry my memories awful)

Hmm, I need to make some commitments next week, lol. I miss turning things green!

I've just found some coloured pens in the colours I needed for my next notebook range...I'm gonna be the new paperchase! I might need a slightly catchier name then Elle's Designs, though.

I love stationery. (I'm gonna make a Fabregas notebook...MMmm Only for me though, lol!)

Munchki - Silver lining sounds like it could arrive pretty soon.

Saucy - Love the note book, Have more faith in yourself hunni your work is really good. Well done on NOTH too YAY for you xx

Amber - Site is great, well done

jmrance1 - Glad you enjoyed your day, sounds like loads of fun.

Went out for the meal my poor Gran took pity on us and paid for us all, a little bit embarrassing and she nearly whacked me over the head wouldn't take no for an answer, she is not a lady to be messed with. Whilst we were waiting to go in OH had an interesting phone call, trying not to build my hopes up, but it is like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey.

Gonna try and list more on ebay tomorrow and still keep looking at all the shoes I have do not think I am brave enough to take that step though lol

Aww, notebook heaven sounds lovely! I'm making a purple notebook at the moment, coincidentally, lol. I don't think it'll be as nice as yours, though!

I feel so inspired again, I'm ignoring the worries from earlier and creating!
