WOYWW This one is for you Julia!!!!


Ok! Ok!

I know it is not yet Wednesday but as i have meetings most of the day tomorrow and i have to start at 8am this might be my only catch up!

Well no crafting to post as it has been a mega busy weekend.

It all started with a friends of mine and Laura's over at Airing cupboard crafts. The couple we are talking about are both serving in the Army and were given the chance to have a home makeover for a TV show (to be shown in Sept) called Homes for Heroes.

The attraction for me and Laura was the host!!! Only a TY PENNINGTON!!!! from Extreme home make over the American TV show, shown on the Home channel. I'm sure some of you are aware of the programme?

So with this as an attraction we both duly offered our services to help out :)

We did have a fab time and did get to meet Ty which was great and yes he does look the same (a little older) sorry Ty! He was however the perfect gentleman and made time to talk to the two girls making the brews, washing up and cleaning up behind the crew.

He said he had been told we had a list of our top 10 men (put up to this by the friend having the makeover of course) and proceeded to ask us both where in our top 10 he came! (cheeky)

I think we both managed to make his ego hit the floor however when we put him in his rightful place and told him he would have trouble making our top 100 let alone 10, and Laura made him drag his ego around by telling him she would rather have the cockney geezer from the programme, as quoted by Laura "you know the British one with the bald head". At this point the lovely Julia rang to talk clocks with me and when i told her i could not talk as we were mid way through a conversation with Ty Pennington i thought she would wet here self with the noise which was coming from the other end of the phone!!!!

We did however lap up our time and have a giggle with Ty and it obviously had a lasting impression as when i saw him again on Sunday he said "oh!! there you are the one who has a top 100 I'm not in!!!

So as you can see no crafting done just B list Celeb chasing!!!

The pic above is me and my baby posing with Ty, unfortunately Laura
was not with me when I had the Camera so no pic's of us together with him!!!

So now I have taken up enough of your time I hope you have all had a great crafting week and I Promise to pull my finger out and do some crafting for next week, and for all of you in the Wiltshire area he is around for a few days yet so keep your eyes peeled you never know who you might bump into!!

Happy Crafting

Kelly :)
