I Wish..........

By
........that I knew how to fix my computer! Well it might not be the computer, it might be my internet, or Google or Chrome but whatever it is I wish it would work properly!
I have been trying to post for days - it's a post I started on my iPad but it wouldn't post properly - kept missing things off or not publishing the pictures - it's been a nightmare!
To make things harder I've been tied up looking after mum. We've been juggling hospital and doctors appointments and mum does'nt want to go - at any cost!
She is very grumpy at the moment and very rebellious - she does'nt want to take her new tablets and every time that I've tried to blog and an obsticle got in the way I'd think stuff it - I can't be bothered with this at the moment and I'd leave it.

Self care has gone out the window. Wearing make-up, eating properly and sleeping are difficult and weight is piling on again. 

I'm lucky that I have good friends willing to listen to me talk and my boss at work is exceptionaly reasonable and caring and makes things better for me so I can give the best care I can to mum and myself.

So - what do I do? 

Well I shall keep on looking after mum - how can I not? I will put up with all the crap she gives me and try to keep smiling!

I shall start with showing you the items I purchased when I visited my daughter in Hereford. If you didn't know already - I am a stationary addict and I picked up loads of fab stuff in places like Paperchase, Wilko and B&M - take a look








So much beautiful stuff - and so little time to use it!!!

Wish me luck - I shall find myself again - it just might take some time!

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. 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

 I have decided to try and get on top of my Christmas cards early this year and so far it’s going well!!! Here is a card that has been made using the Sweet Gingerbread set - I love gingerbread houses and the stamps and matching dies are really cute. I used the sketch from  52 Christmas Card Throwdown  - this is a brilliant Christmas challenge blog (I started it many years ago with Mynn Kitchen) and it’s a perfect way to get organised with Christmas crafting. Thank for stopping by today - see you soon - J xx
