Why do bad things happen in Threes?

Why do things happen in threes??? On Friday night my washing machine broke down. This is awkward at any time but with a 13 week old baby that needs at least 3 changes of clothes a day it gets somewhat more frustrating, but what's worse is that I only have 3 pairs of trousers that fit at the moment and 2 of them are trapped in the washing machine until the man comes to fix it on Monday, the only pair of trousers I have left are jogging bottoms and I'm not setting foot outside the house with them on! *sigh*

I spent most of last night in Casualty with little Benny boy as he poked himself in the eye whilst visiting his grandma fortunately it was just a nasty case ofconjunctivitis, I'm now attempting to apply cream to the inside lower lid without touching his eyeball - as if that's possible on anyone! And the third thing to happen was the ticket machine swallowing my money at the hospital. What can I say, it's been a frustrating couple of days, but it could have been worse.

Onto happier things, before the day turned into a trip to A&E, I was allowed a couple of hours on my own to make some cards - rah! So I took advantage and made up 'one for the boys' which is the theme over at Quixotic Challenge and Roses on Paper.

I used TGF Ian Laddie stamp and coloured with my copics. The DP is scrapbook walls which has been in my stash for a number of years. The ribbon is more of a rope with fluffy bits. I have no idea where this is from, but I'm pretty sure I nabbed it off something. What can I say, we crafters are all about the environment and recycling :O)

I hope your weekends turned out slightly better than mine, and more importantly you like the card. Thanks for stopping by. Please do let me know what you think so that I can come by and visit you too :O)
