Happy Christmas all!

Well, I havent been around here for ages it seems. I havent done any crafting either for ages. Dunno whats up with me...

Anyway, I hope you all had a great christmas? I got a Wii Fit from Alex, and the usual stuff (Smellies, money, useless novelty gifts lol). Decided that this next year is all about me, and loosing some weight! I have really let myself go since moving from London, and now is the time to get back on track. With doing my Wii fit for an hour a day, and eating alot healthier, hopefully when the weather picks up I will feel like walking...! We will have to wait and see!

I am all excited! As a Christmas present to me, from me, I have bought the Spring 2008 Magnolia Stamp Club! Cant wait for them to come now! Hoping that they will bring my Mojo back! Going to take a trip to Au Natural today, and Ikea to get some homely bits, want to move the front room around a bit and need some new photos to put up as these ones I have had up for ages!

I hope you all enjopy your Christmas break, and all the very very best for 2009.

I have 5 Calendars up for grabs...

They are the little ones that you can customise, so if you want them, please let me know and ill get them sent out when I am out of bed lol UK only though sorry - I wouldnt want to post them out of the UK for them not to turn up this time of year!

What a day its been...

I had booked yesterday and today off work, so I can finish my cards, and send all my secret santa presents out and catch up with the housework. Managed to wrap the presents up yesterday, and finish a couple of cards, but last night, I got up from the sofa and have totally done my back in. I dont normally suffer with back problems, and believe me - this kills! So all today, I have been propped up in bed. I didnt want to go to NHS walk in because its Alex's Christmas party tonight, and if they said I needed to go hospital, we might still be there now. So am hoping I can move enough to go there tommorrow.

However, it hasnt been all bad news! I have managed to get this little cutie finished. I started him sometime last week, and there is a lot of white on him, and I just couldnt be bothered, but being bed struck, I had time to finish him, and have now moved onto finishing my Country Companions christmas design.
