Uncategorized So, in the world of Becca I like to think of my self as a bit of a fairy princess, so this week’s Friday 5 is quite fitting…
1. In the fairy tale of your life, who is the knight in shining armor?
My gorgeous Dave is my knight in shining armour every day. He picks me up when I’m down, he helps keep me anchored and in general I am a very very lucky girl to have him (you can go vomit now!)
2. In the fairy tale of your life, who is the evil villain?
Cliche as it sounds, I think its myself, in the words of some song I’m sure, I truly am my own worst enemy (and my own biggest critic) but I’m trying to beat the bitch down!
3. In the fairy tale of your life, who is the loyal, comedic sidekick?
Probably my lovely Kazzy Kaz Kaz! Or my beautiful sister Sammi! Both of them provide me with hours of fun and frolics, and I wouldn’t be without them!
4. In the fairy tale of your life, what comes right after “Once upon a time…?”
There was a girl who lived with a lovely boy and they bumbled along making each other laugh…
5. In the fairy tale of your life, who is the fairy godmother?
My gran. The true matriarch in our family. We miss her every day.

craft,
links For all you crafty girls (and boys!) out there I wanted to share the following with you!
I hope this works!
Craftsuprint is a lovely little website for getting inspiration, and buying products as well, you can pay to download the images you like and the artist who created it gets a commission. As well as this they run an affiliate programme, which I have signed up too. So if you buy anything through any of my links then I will also recieve a small commission, which is lovely for me too.
If you are an artist (I know many of my friends are!) and would like to, you can also submit your designs to the site for people to buy. How cute is that?
Finally, there is also a competition, regularly, to find crafty bob, he is hidden somewhere on the pages and if you are the first person to find him you can win a cash prize! So if you are looking for somewhere new to find craft inspiration and decoupage sheets please check out craftsuprint through one of my links!

Friday Five This weeks Friday 5 is hard!!
In the past month, what was your biggest OOPS?
My biggest oops this month, hrm, probably a stupid work related thing, I was testing and remembered to do everything except write down some bank details… that was really dumb, but what made it worse was I already had them written down, I just didn’t realise until I’d been panicking for an hour!
In the past month, what inspired you to let out your most heartfelt WHEW?
See the previous comment. Thankfully I did have them written down, otherwise it could have been a looong day!
In the past month, what caused you to say, “HUH?”
I struggle to make sense of lots of things 
But it was probably a discussion with Dave when we were talking at cross purposes! It doesn’t help that he talks really quietly too!
In the past month, what influenced the most ZZZZZZZZs?
I’m always sleepy! I had an afternoon nap yesterday for a couple of hours!
In the past month, what was most GRRRRRRRRR-worthy?
My sister had a really rough time, some people were treating her badly and I got seriously angry. I couldn’t do anything to help which made it worse.
What made you HUH?, GRRRRR! and OOOOPS! this month?

personal
I don’t know how many of you know that I’m a little bit in love with finding ways of earning cash/vouchers online? My newest favourite is Swagbucks where you search and randomly get awarded points (or swagbucks). You also earn points when anyone you refer to it earns bucks. It’s a little bit of fun and I’m really enjoying thinking of things to search for.
I’ve decided to aim for a Flip video camera, I’ve got about 41000 swagbucks to go, but hey, a girl has to have a goal! I really fancy one and it’s great that I could potentially earn one for nothing! So, if you fancy joining me, I’d love it if you use my referal link and help me get to my target!
PS – This is the first time that I have scheduled a post! So fingers crossed it works!

craft So you know I make jewellery right? Well just recently I’ve come over all crafty licious! I’m dying to turn my hand to all sorts of new things, this doesn’t bode well for my bank balance, or my time, but it’s one of those things that happens to me every now and then.
So, I started off with my mini clipboards which I adore, and can’t wait to send one to Han in her next letter (it’s not a secret so I hope she doesn’t mind me sharing! My sister will also be getting one as part of her belated birthday presents. (again, not a secret!)
I’ve also been perusing loads of craft blogs – there are soooooo many ideas!
One of my favourites at the moment is dollar store crafts I’m a HUGE fan of the pound shop (our UK equivalent!) and am so jealous that they have so much cooler stuff in there dollar stores over in the States, but there are so many cool ideas of things to make whilst spending very little cash… check it out!
I’m also loving Chic’ n Scratch which I found whilst looking for coasters to decorate. The woman who runs it is amazing and also a stampin up consultant… Must… resist….stampin up…
Finally I love the UK Craft Forum for chatting with like minded UK based crafters, I’m sparklybec if you fancy finding me!
So hopefully look out for some new projects soon, and maybe I’ll even brave a tutorial at some point!
I’ve also booked in to do another craft fair in Norwich on 17th July! Fingers crossed this one goes well

Friday Five So, I’m on a diet at the moment, this is gonna make me hungry!!!
1. What is absolutely the best cookie you’ve ever had?
I think it would have to be Farmhouse Cookies!! The recipe can be found here and is delicious, and not too unhealthy cos of the muesli (that’s what I’m saying, and I’m sticking to it!)
2. What is a cookie you really don’t care for?
Funnily enough, despite the above, I’m not overly keen on oatmeal and raisin cookies, though Dave adores them.
3. What are some other cookies you are rather fond of?
I love cookies full stop, particularly chocolate ones! Chocolate in any cookie is goooood.
4. Grocery-store cookies are, of course, never as good as anything that comes out of someone’s kitchen, but what’s a packaged cookie that’s still pretty good?
The ones that come from the bakery section in packs of 5 from tesco (other supermarkets are available) are pretty good!
5. In general, do you think cookies should be chewy and gooey, or should they be crispy and crunchy?
Gooey and chewy all the way baby!

Friday Five I’ve decided to try and take part in the Friday Five from www.friday5.org and this week the theme is RED!
- What is your favorite red food?
I think I would have to say Strawberries! And especially all things strawberry flavoured. My particular favourite (though it’s pink rather than red) is strawberry milkshake
2. When were you last caught red-handed?
I don’t think I’ve ever done anything that has warranted being caught red handed!
3. What’s your nicest red article of clothing?
Every girl should own a pair of red shoes, I have a pair that I got for J and Kaz’s wedding and they are the sexiest shoes I’ve ever owned! They have a stiletto heel and a stacked heel. They are a deep red and I lurve them!
4. Who’s got the loveliest red hair?
I think I’m gonna have to say Nicole Kidman, I adore her hair.
5. What are your thoughts on the 2002 Baz Luhrmann film Moulin Rouge!
I’ve never seen it!

personal For those of you that know me very well, you’ll know I harbour a deep dark secret. I used to be addicted to World of Warcraft. I was never very good, but boy did I love it!
Anyway, I’ve since moved away from that obsession and it has recently been replaced. With this!!
We Rule. I can’t work out how to flip the photos on my phone, I’ll have to do that next time I blog from a computer!
Check it out though, the game is free, it’s a ngmoco game and it’s addictive. You build and populate a kingdom and sell stuff to your friends! Let me know what you think, and add me, I’m beccus!
