mary-op

Hello all :j Very late................made another button necklace..................:rotfl: Getting hooked on them....:p
You lot busy as usual........super cards.

Thriftyscotslass - we went to the Isle of Man a few years back..........unbelievable..........it really is beautiful, one of those places where we felt so relaxed. I'd love to go again but we seem to spend half out time at the minute back and forth to hospitals or visiting family............oh well, maybe some time in the not too distant.............;)

Well have had a very productive day - sort of although haven't achieved much either.

Spent this morning running around for my mum who is in her 80's and is soon to be moving into sheltered accommodation - she is not happy with this fact but resigned to it. I feel like the world's worst daughter. Lots of other things to do with this subject which has sent me straight to the chocolate and biscuits with cream cakes today - not good when I am weighing in at WW in the morning thinking I may gain this week.

You may have seen me mention my up an coming assessment for Steps to Quality (I know I mention it in every post sorry) on the 29th for which I have tons of stuff to do and am doing serious avoidance of it.

But on the plus side this means I have been crafting I spent yesterday downloading lots of digi images (all Dragonllew's fault as I followed a link from her blog to a site with lots of links to free digi images) instead of doing the paperwork I should be doing so today I thought I will knuckle down to paperwork but no I found the perfect image for my friends birthday card so decided to do that while I was motivated. SO Gary has brought all my card making stuff down and it is now all over the front room so I may as well make a few more cards this weekend before I put it away lol.

A friend of mine called round today and bought three unfinished cards so I have those to finish for her now as well. Am well chuffed as the only other person to buy cards from me is my Mum and she doesn't count as she still buys what she calls 'special' cards eg relatives and family!!!!!!.
