Today I have learned...
- that just staring at my "To Do" pile really doesn't achieve anything but hysteria :0(
- that I don't like it when my feet are too hot! Today is not a boots weather day!!
- that I'd rather be at home creating than at work any day!

* that I love September (I always knew this but it's great to have that reminder each year!!)
* that I have more scrapbook stash than I thought I had {blush!}
* that I NEED more scrapbook stash!!!!

Mini Aventure
I'm on my way to my best friend Laura's house for her hen weekend. It won't be the tacky silliness of some hen weekends as we really aren't those kind of girlies!! Instead we are having a lovely garden party with a BBQ and then out for an evening of live music.
The extra fun part (for me) of this weekend is that Laura lives in Wales! Yay! My favourite place!!
I set off from home this morning at 9.20 feeling perky perky!
So far I have enjoyed a lovely train journey that I never bore of however many times I visit her! Unlike normal times however Laura is working so I find myself in Aberystwyth without the normal lift! Cue adventure!! A 45 minute wait for the bus meant time to sit on the beach and treat myself to chips for lunch! Yummy!!
A stroll back down into town and then the anxiety of making sure I get the right bus and being convinced I don't have enough money for my ticket! I mean, come on, the bus journey takes well over 2 hours... It'll cost alot! This anxiety is followed by the excitement when the driver says that the ticket costs £4.50!! Amazing!!! And I'm off!!!

Hello Blogland
We'll I've been in my new job for a month now. Its all still new and exciting and also very very challenging! I'm enjoying it but finding it a little tricky to get to grips with some of the personaililties I now work with! And of course as I'm the manager everything that goes wrong is my fault!!! So its been tough! Good...but tough!
A major downside to the job is the travelling :-( I've never regreted not driving before but I do now. Although the town I work in is only 20 minutes away from my home, the bus times don't work out well. I'm finishing work at 5.30 but not home until nearly 7! Yawn! Except Mondays when I finish at 7 but don't get home until 9!! Double Yawn!!
What this has meant is that I never craft any more - sob!! I'm so drained when I get in and get changed, eat food, tidy up, that I just sit and then go to bed :-(
One of my major goals for myself is to bring back regular crafting into my daily life. It brings me such joy and I feel so sad without it there.
Thats me for now. I haven't been on the blogs I read for so long and I have missed you all alot. Thats hopefully going to change now my computer access is sorted and I can blog at lunch times again. Yippie!! Byyyyye for now x

Hello Mojo...where have you been all year?!
I have FINALLY found my scrapping mojo!! It's a little dusty for being all neglected but is alive and well :0)
Over the past 2 weeks I have attacked and destroyed my backlog of kits and created lots of layouts. Yippie! I feel like me again!
WARNING- PHOTO HEAVY FROM HERE!!!!
A layout celebrating my childhood!
A double page spread for Shimelle's free 6x4 Photo Love course. Below are the pages separately:
From our holiday. I am loving working with smaller prints at the moment. They're patricularly great when the photo quality isn't top notch!!!
As you can see from the next layouts, I am continuing to love Hipstamatic photos!!
Not that keen on this Ludlow layout :0(
The first of what will be many layouts from my brother-n-laws wedding last year! The bride wore black so tis allow for some great alternative layouts!!
The following two layouts are back to back on a double sided piece of pattered paper as I loved both sides so much I couldn't chose between them. Woudl you believe these are only the 3rd and 4th layouts in my 2011 scrapbook (Oh, the shame!!)
And thats it for now lovely blog land.
PS/ the photos appear all blurry and I'm nto sure why :0( I'm having bad experiences with uploading via Blogpress on my Ipad. Anyone got any advice????
