Wintry Wednesday!!

Oh my goodness how cold has it been today?? Apparently we are going to have snow overnight - I really hope so!



Well finally I have had both my boys at school today, thank goodness. Both are on the mend now, although Harry is still a little pale.



I realised last night that I have not made a special card for Steve's Granny and Grandma.....oops. So guess what I started this morning before I went to work - yes you've guessed it!!!!

Yes thats right 2 posts in 2 days!

Oh my word what is the world coming to?! Yes I am here again. :)

So what have I been up to today?
Well...... I made a couple of Christmas cards this morning and then I have been at work this afternoon. I am still carrying on with my no new stash rule which, I must admit, is making me feel so much better when I see a pile of paper etc going down and a box of cards filling up.
In fact it is very liberating :)

As for work - well it was fairly busy but I managed to get my Christmas cards written LOL!

Nearly a month!!!!

Has it really been that long since I last posted on my blog :( How awful!!!!
No seriously I do enjoy putting my life into words on an almost daily basis but then you miss a couple of days, then a week and then before you know it its a month!!!!!!

So how has life been treating us? Well we have all had the usual coughs and colds which are going about at the mo and poor George has had a nasty case of colic. I really did not know that colic is not just for babies. Still he is back to school today but I now have Harry home with a cold, so I think I am destined to not be alone at the mo :)

I have been getting back into crafting and actually enjoying it. I am in the midst of making Christmas cards which is slowly getting me into the spirit.
This year, however i have made a promise to myself regarding Christmas cards. I have not bought anymore papers, stickers, embellies, ribbon etc and am using stuff I already have. Infact I am using stuff I bought when I first started cardmaking and yes those peeloffs have come out too.
I am determined that I will use more of my stash and am not buying anymore until I have made a dent in what I have at the mo.

Right I am off to tidy up and catch up on paperwork beofre the school run beckons xxxx

By Jove i think I have found it!!!!

My mojo that is!
Yes it has finally found it's way home thank goodness.

I went to craft club this morning and for the first time in ages I made something I am quite proud of!
It has really got to me lately that I have lost my enthusiasm for crafting. I love playing around with paper and glue and really lost my way for a little while.
But it is back and this morning I made this card for my nephew for Christmas.

The snowman stamp is really lovely to work with and I think may be one I purchase from Particraft in the very near future.

Anyway I am off to spend some time with hubs.xxxx

I have lost all faith in the 'System'

Michael Coombes was today sentenced for 30 months and banned from driving for 3 years for the death of William.
He will probably serve only 12 - 15 months.
I am stunned to the depth of my soul and I cannot bear to think how Williams family are feeling at the moment.
Coombes denied all guilt and has behaved in a disgusting manner towards William and his family.
Meanwhile Louise and Simon have held their heads high and fought for justice, keeping their faith in the British Judicial System.
Today they have been let down and my heart is broken for them.

A little behind....

But I think we are slowly getting there.

What with work, boys, school, house and Steve I seem to have little or no time recently to craft or blog.

Having said that though I have decided that I really really must get some Christmas cards started and as I have a large amount of seasonal stash I am determined to use what I have first rather than buy new stuff :)

At the weekend George finally got to play in his first rugby match. This is something he has wanted to do since he was about two years old and boy is he loving it. Only trouble is that our Sundays will now be dedicated to this. Oh well the club do fab bacon butties and hot coffee so there are some advantages ;)

It was my Birthday :)

Regular readers of my little blog may remember that last year on my birthday my foot was in plaster which made for a bit of a damp squib of a day. But this year .....omg my boys spoilt me rotten - they really did.



On my list was a Wii Fit which I was lucky enough to have but what I didn't know was that my lovely hubs had bought this pink little beauty!!!!! How shocked was I???? Well that shocked that I cried :)



I also had some lovely pressies from friends and then some money from family which will be spent on my girlie weekend in Cheltenham next month.

So I had a fabby day - thank you to everyone who made it special xxxxxx
