These are the photos of what my darling husband arrived back from the States with for me. Life has been so busy for us that I haven't had a proper play with anything though the 2 magazines are very well read. We have just finished (about 10 minutes ago) decorating the kitchen. Looks gorgeous. I have de-cluttered and the pale green really makes it light and airy. Hope everyone had a very enjoyable Easter. I have to say thank you to our eldest son for phoning yesterday (very early) to say he had snow. Just a big kid at heart!

Not much to report this week. I have been browsing the internet trying to find craft bargains for my husband to buy me when he pops over to America next week. I have just persuaded him he needs the bigger case!! The kids have also made shopping lists. The youngest wants a particular skateboard and the eldest wants a waitress from Hooters! I'd like to see my OH explain that at customs.

I won a prize last week on the just bex site. It is being posted soon so when I get it I will add a photo.

Happy Mothering Sunday to all mums. Mine has received a copy of the new Katie Fforde book signed by the author who I met on Wednesday. It was a wonderful evening and she was a delightful woman who spent a little time with everyone as she signed both old and new books. Even though it was getting late she didn't seem in a hurry to rush the queue.

My children bought me a DVD of a film I know nothing about and a book that I have been dropping hints about for 2 weeks. (Pink post it notes all over the house seemed to do the trick). It is the new Sophie Kinsella book - Remember me. I have slobbed about the house all day glued to each page and finished it just before tea. What a wonderful book which I have enjoyed from beginning to end.
