I owe someone an apology...

Jayne H so sorry I did not thank you for the lovely stamps and card that you sent me for my birthday but Paul kinda forgot about them and we only found the parcel neatly wrapped shoved down the side of his suitcase as he was packing to leave... MEN!!! That just about says it all...

So Jayne Thank You ... and I just love the African animals too and the little sayings are so cute too...

Well Paul has left and we're all sad - he's back in UK safe and sound... Already sending me messages do this and do that... What does he think I'm doing here NOTHING!!!

Kelsey's back at school today... It was hard getting up at 5.30am again and it was very dark and cold this morning!!! The kids are still in their summer uniforms but change to winter uniforms from 4th May... Long sleeved shirts, ties and shorts !!!! O.i.A

Got back after school drop off and guess what - no electricity AGAIN... O.i.A Couldn't do anything till after 5pm tonight but read a lot... :-)

So I have gotta start doing something crafty now... :-D

Well I'm gonna borrow a bit of an idea from Dyan Reaveley (Art from the Heart),http://dyan-reaveley.blogspot.com/ I've become an avid reader of her blog and although I'm not much of an Altered Artist I love the idea of a 'Visual Journal' (aka Art Journal). As I'm busy unpacking boxes of stock and finding the odd stamp here and there tucked in corners I thought 'I have little space and little supplies' so I'm gonna set myself a challenge and do an art journal with only the bits I've got and the bits I find usable in each box... How does that sound?

Sounds good but now I've gotta get my A into G and get going... Promise I'll show you some of my attempts, I know they won't compare to Dyan's work but you gotta start somewhere. Hey?

So how many chocolates have you all eaten??? Every Easter I give up yummy chocolate for lent then it takes me about a week of eating it after Easter to get the taste back again... The sacrifices one has to make... Can you believe it but it has been 31 weeks since I've had M&M's... Not that I don't have any but I have to ration myself.... I think I'm going to have to open that 1kg bag Sharon sent me...

Now to your thought for the day:

Though no one can go back and make a brand new start,
anyone can start now and make a brand new ending.
