Guess what? Go on guess.



You'll never get it.












I have been published in a real magazine. I am in the readers gallery of issue 68 of Simply Cards and Papercraft. I have been very excited but when I bought my copy from Smiths the guy behind the counter didn't seem too keen for me to do a signing session.

In December, the lovely Mrs Goddard left the school I work in. She was one of those teachers that is naturally brilliant and managed to get the best out of every pupil. It was a real pleasure being her TA. This is a photo of the flowers she gave me on her last day. How clever of her to know they went with my Christmas plates which she has never seen!!

Some before photos of the craft room.

Happy New Year to you. Who has resolutions? I don't bother with them too much but 2010 will have to see a thinner me as I have become quite tubby over the Christmas holidays. Darling husband started his healthy eating yesterday but has already tried to con his way to an Ikea breakfast!!!

Before Christmas my craft room was dug out and Gary put a new work top in for me. It isn't quite sorted yet but I am slowly trying to find homes for everything. The wardrobe has gone but I still need some shelves put up. Pictures to follow.

Here are some boxes that I decorated for my sister-in-law.

How green is our tree this year?!! Depending on how you look at it, it is either very un green (the colour) or extremely green (eco)!

This is last years tree that died in about May. (We had bought one with roots). It stayed in the corner of the garden, going more rust colour each month, so we decided to spray it white with fake snow and bring it back in the house for this year. I quite like it but you can't go near it as the snow comes off and the needles are finally falling from it.

I'm feeling really grotty today. Just a sore throat and thick head but I need lots of love and chocolate!! Thankfully it wasn't last week I was feeling like this or I would of missed the hen night of a work friend. We went to a Sing-a-long-a-Abba night. I'm the one in the blue outfit.
