Purple Challenge

Here you go Dianna! lol but the coffee catch up is on the menu for next week okay?
Yolande has challenged us at SO this weekend to do a purple LO (a colour she hates) . Jen just loves purple and I have been using a bit of it with my SE DT submissions. Just loved the Bg lily kate to work with and gotta have some cosmo cricket pp ..just loving that range atm!
looking forward to getting the christmas pps too as I have bought two red shed tins that I am gonna alter for the kids ..instead of santa sacks.
Yesterday I was supposed to be a. paying the bills/doing a gst return
b. scrapbooking and finishing my SE DT OTP
c. doing several challenges for SO.
d. doing a cj and organising jen with her kids cj she is doing
e. doing 5 loads of washing
but instead I was entertained with a freebie carpet clean that took 3 hours..you see they were selling the Kirby vacuum cleaner...and we bought one!(glad that hubby actually wanted to buy it for me too without any prompting or tactic!) .. mega bucks later I am rapt with it as my BLUE carpet is the carpet from hell! It picks up any little speck and hair possible and has been basically been too hard to keep clean..like i have had to take the nozzle of my electrolux and clean it with the hose pipe...which takes ages! Looking forward to having a clean house now!! (dont laugh Andrea!)..My Mother was impressed this morning and thats saying something as my Mum is a clean freak. Its an upright vacuum cleaner/carpet cleaner that really does the job especially as I am an asthmatic. Hubby is too but both kids arent ...as they were born over in WA...not much carpet there perhaps?
Will take a photo of my new acquistion tomorrow along with the 5 loads of washing in my wash house because of 2 disgusting kids.

Love your purple layout Delys. Great work! Bet the kids had fun that night too.
And LOL at the new purchase ... hope it does the magic! Three hours!! Does that mean you don't have to clean for a couple of weeks?

For goodness sake Karen dont put ideas into her head. I will have to come over the paddock and have a look at this carpet!
5 loads of washing those kids sure know how to wind up their mother!

Wow. 3 hours of vaccuum cleaner sales. That sucks!!! Ha, ha. Hope you enjoy your purchase. Great layout. Purple and lime is a favourite combo of mine but I've never scrapped with it.

Firstly thanks for posting again. And secondly after being greeted by six very runny piles of dog poo in the lounge this morning I think I could do with your vacum cleaner I gather it washes as well I am available most days!!!!!
Thirdly if you are free Thursday afternoon I am childless.

Ooh would love to see a pic. Our carpet is dark dark grey and shows everything. I would love to find a vacuum cleaner that actually cleans it :o)

Great layout too!

Love purple but don't often get a chance to use it :0 I also love the lily Kate BG range.

Enjoy your new vaccuum. I can't stand the Kirby sales technique thing!
