Do you remember when I got 3 of these cabinets for only .50p each?..... 
.....Well it's my friends 40th and I wanted to make her a pretty but quirky box so I decorated it and took it to the glaziers who put a mirror into it for me for the price of a pint of beer! (lovely chap said "no charge" but I felt bad leaving without paying so gave him a tip!)
My friend suffers from an extremely difficult to treat skin condition on her face which causes her to look like she has severe acne........so I want her to remember when she is feeling down that "beauty lies within" and not to give a sh*t about other peoples hurtful comments and cr*p doctors who won't sort her out once and for all and send her to see a skin specialist!
I'm thinking "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is the fairest one of all" for a cool little girls present? And perhaps a shrine to the God of Graphic45 for the other cabinet!! What do you reckon?
....arghhhhhh...sorry..how did that photo get on here?..lol!
and whilst we are on about pretty but quirky things here is a photo of Georgia in her new raincoat........it cost a wee bit and she will have to wear it day and night until she leaves home at the age of 21 but isn't it lovely......it's made by Joules,(click HERE) unfortunately the Adults one doesn't have the waxed coating and isn't in a Jacket style:(....if "I" had this coat "I" would be praying for rain!!....I wonder if they do matching wellies? hmmmmm)
These next 2 photos are probably the ones I will treasure the most...as soon as I clicked I knew I had the money shot!!...and the one of Georgia and I was taken by Georgias' friend who was also in the photo shoot...it's very rare to have photos of me and certainly not publish(able) ones, but I am going to make an exception for once......make-up less and all!
Love and pink and blue roses
