Happy Tuesday

Well I got over my cold, but now I've started sneezing again. Oh well

We had a grand total of, wait for it.........

one

trick or treater for halloween, people just don't seem to be into it around here very much.

We had Lilith for bonfire night, as her parents were having a bonfire, and she hated it, everytime a firework went off she was scared stiff the poor little thing. She was even jumping in her sleep.

I've been busy lately catching up with some journalling, and then I started getting together the 25 days of Christmas package I have to send. My partner is quite hard, as she doesn't like baths/shower things and candles, which I would have put in, but I've got together most of them now, and have been busy making a few of them. I would post pictures, but I don't want her to accidently come across my blog and spoil the suprise! You will have to wait until after Christmas for the pictures. Or maybe I will blog about each one daily through December, wait and see.....

Freezing!

I don't know about you, but I'm sat here freezing cold with the recent change in weather. My poor little mouse hand is like an ice cube, me thinks I shall have to get my gloves out soon!

On top of that I am also full of cold, and can't stop sneezing, which is depressing, but I'll live.

Good news is that I have an interview tomorrow, the first I've been offered since February, which I am happy about. Will let you know tomorrow how that goes.

I have been doing some more journalling lately, which I'm enjoying mostly. Have just set up some new swapbot swaps for journalling pages.

Are we all ready for Halloween? I'm not! LOL I'm not a great fan really, no children to take out, maybe in a few years when Lilith is older we will see about taking her then, but until that happens I'll stay at home where its nice and warm!

Wrap up warm everyone, its going to get much colder........

Great News!

My photo got included!

Remember I told you about the photo that was shortlisted for the local guide?

Well I had an email from the lady and it got included!

I'm so super happy about it.

Its only an online guide, but still it made my day.

Monday

I've just sat down to watch Emmerdale, and then I shall be watching Corrie, and then Eastenders, and then Corrie again. Such a fun evening!

I'm home all alone since my mum and dad have gone out to meet one of mums old work friends.

I'm really excited about the round robin journal swap, and can't wait for it to start in November, and it will be going on until March! There are 8 of us in it, and we will each be writing 5 entries in each others journals.

I have a real craving for some cheesecake at the moment, thanks to the British Birds 'what I just ate thread' in which we have been discussing cheesecake and other delightful puddingy foods.

I won the bingo in the British Birds too, and the host of this round won mine in the last go! So now its my go to host again. I have picked the 30 words today, they are all food and drink themed, which we haven't had before.

Off to watch TV for a bit now before I sit down to do some more journalling.

Weekend Fun

Lilith came to sleep on Friday, and she's still here! Currently curled up fast asleep at the side of me. Bless her she looks so cute.

I was up until 1am this morning chatting with a fellow swapper on the swapbot gabbly chat box, that was so much fun! Lilith then got me up at 7.30, which is good for her.

We went to town as usual for breakfast, and then to Grandma's. After we had done there we headed to the Craft shop at Spen, since we needed to get some card cut for journal covers, only the guy wasn't there to do it for us! So now we will have to go back :D

I'm hosting another british birds journal round robin like the one Ellie did earlier in the year. This time round there are 8 of us, compared to the 4 last time round. It should be fun though, I'm looking forward to it.

Am going now to finish watching the X Factor - Laura to win!

Overdue update

I haven't updated my blog in a while, so I'm going to do it now, and I am going to keep up with updating it. I am I am I am!

I've not been really creative in ages now, can't remember the last ATC I made!

I am really into journalling, and love running the theme a day swaps.

I'm more into photography now though, and I want to become a professional photographer, I just need to get some training done. One of my photos has been shortlisted for inclusion in a local guide, which has boosted my spirits alot.

Haven't really been upto much else. I was on holiday last week, that was great fun, the weather stayed nice 6 days out of 7, but the day it rained, it poured all day!

Oh and Lilith turned one at the end of September, it doesn't seem 2 mins since she was born!

Well I have journalling to do now, but I will keep this updated!

Happy Birthday to ME!
