First Scrapajack Crop


Went to the scrapajack crop today with Jo. Had a fab day - time flew! Jo is fab and so easy to talk to, relieved we got on so well. Looking forward to the next one now - 10th Feb.

Karen did a fab class with some yum Gin-X PP, made a wall hanging (Disney - of course) and got my CJ cover done. Will be making another wall hanging of Leo for my scraproom wall :D.

First 12x12 of the New Year


Fittingly is a LO of - what else? - my poochie Leo, having a wonderful time at Christmas.

Am so pleased with this LO and just love that paper!

Moved out!


Up at 5am this morning to meet the removers in Madeley. Finally moved out of the old house - took the camera of course to record for the scrapbook!!! Removals men thought I was bonkers taking pics of the very large lorry which appeared.

Now there is just the small task of completing our purchase and moving into our new home...

New year, new blog


Well, one new year resolution should be to update my blog! So will resolve to do so weekly (we will see if that actually happens!).

Lots and lots gone on since November.

Sold the house finally first week in January, we are due to complete next week. New house seems fine, survey showed nothing of concern so we are pressing ahead. Am already trying to decide what to do with my new scraproom - can't wait!!!!!!

Christmas was good - we had a nice time at Jackie and Bob's, very relaxing, and I was just over the cold enough to enjoy myself.

New Year's Eve was fairly hectic, not to bed until 4am (took me a week to recover). Was coerced into doing karaoke on the Playstation, which was very embarrassing (good job I had a drink or two...).

Need to get back into the scrapping. Got some lovely bargains in Lakeland to inspire me to scrap more, and going to a crop with my new friend Jo next week which I can't wait for!

Really surprised how much I am enjoying work, shame it is only a temp post really, but hopefully I will get until end March at the least. Time I started looking for something more permanent I think.

Other thing I must do right now is lose some weight. Am such a chunker after xmas! Hoping to lose a stone, but half is probably more realistic. If I can fit in my trousers i'll be happy. So, no wine in the week and no snacks. One chocolate treat a week. Wine at the weekend of course ;).
