Hello everyone. A quick update - my dad passed away Tuesday of this week. It was very peaceful and dignified and me and mum were by his side. We managed to keep him at home which was what he wanted but that was with the help of carers, district nurses and hospice nurses. We will be eternally grateful for all the help we received, it gave mum and myself the strength to carry on each day and give dad the support he needed.

I'm sure I shall be back blogging very soon - thank you  for sticking with me xx

So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr...
