Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix

My friend and I went to see the movie last night, we wanted to wait until all the crowds of children had seen it. It was really good, very fast paced with lots of action. But the star of the show as Imelda Staunton as Dolores Umbridge, the new Defence of the Dark Arts Professor. She was just fantastic as the nasty Dolores and her clothes were just so fab, those pink dress and jacket numbers reminded me of a Latin Teacher I had in 1971 (she was well behind the times). The Mohair coat she was wearing when she visited Hagrid in his little hut was 'to die for'. I have to say, much as I admired her consistent style, it was the only item I might actually wear!

I'll be starting to read 'The Deathly Hallows' very soon, just have to finish the book I am currently reading.

Exciting News!

I have a journalist from DGB (Dumfries & Galloway and Borders) Life Magazine coming to see my home and my business next Friday afternoon with the possibility of putting a feature in the magazine! This, of course, has induced panic and I am rushing around tidying up and trying to make the place look respectable.

I had a great crafting day yesterday, the new theme plate arrived from Graphicus, it has Indian Elephants and paisley patterns on it, it is really great - a whole A4 sheet of stamps! I also got a set of Twinkling H2o paints (my first) and they are going to look so good with the stamps.

I also received a free copy of Papercraft Essentials as I had emailed a question to their Card Doctor page. It was so great to have all these parcels waiting for me when I got home from work.

On top of that the new Harry Potter book arrived with the post this morning. I am not going to start it as my son, Steven, will want to read it first - he is 20! He will probably stay up all night tonight reading.
