Its been a while

I finally found some time to do a bit of crafting before Christmas and I am going to make time for it in the new year, I plan every other part of my life, so why not my free time. Below are some of the things I made.

Amazing Quote

I was visiting one of my favourite blogs today when I came across this quote, and I thought is was amazing, have a read at it. If you have not spoken to a friend in a while, give them a call.

In the end we will remember

not the words of our enemies,

but the silence of our friends.

— Martin Luther King Jr.

Remember ...The road to a friends house is never long.

Downsizing

I have finally decided that its time to take the bull by the horns and I have to downsize. Downsize what I hear you ask, the car, the house, my working hours (I wish) no, unfortunately I need to downsize ME!!!!, I can no longer keep blaming the fact that I was ill for my size, well I can blame it for my size, but not for me still being this size...if you know what I mean. I know because I was ill, it may be harder to lose weight, but, were theres a will, theres a way...as they say...so meet my friend Snowy the snowman, he is going to help me to lose 14lbs by Christmas.

My hat weighs 2lbs
My Broom weighs 3lbs
My eyes weigh 1lb each
My Carrot nose weighs 1lb
My arms weigh 2lb each
My candy cane weighs ½ lb
And my buttons weigh ½ lb each

So watch this space and see how I get on...hopefully he will be the amazing shrinking snowman!!!!

Papermania Embossing Folders

I got this lovely embossing folder today, I can already imagine the cards I want to make, hope they look as good in real life as they do in my head.

Busy Busy Busy

This is as far as I have got with this beautiful little cross stitch. I seem to be having one of those times when I am so busy that I cannot find time to just sit and chill and I am beginning to get withdrawl sypmtoms LOL. I have not stitched or done any scrap booking in ages...really need to make the time, I make the time for everything else.

I am working today and heading to the caravan this weekend. I am looking forward to doing some touristy stuff with my hubby and son, while my gorgeous daughter has a ball at T in the Park. So this is the progress on my current cross stitch projects, will need to see if I can make any improvement on them this weekend.
