Another month

So it's been another month, seriously, where does the time go? I generally don't agree with new years resolutions ( I think you just set yourself up for heartache and procrastination) but there is so much I want to do in the new year that I feel I'm going to need some form of record or list or something along those lines to remind myself what it is that I want to do. I've never been a lover of routines but sometimes I wish I was more organised and less slap-dash because I end up not doing half of the things I've been wanting to do.
I've had a lovely Christmas, mostly just the four of us at home but we went to see the out-laws (I've always called them that but I do actually love them to bits) on Boxing Day which was hugely enjoyable and relaxing - so much that we were all yawning non-stop by about 5pm! But it was great fun.
Now the Christmas holidays are kind of over I am raring to do some crafting, I am ACHING to do some crafting but most of my supplies are in one of the boys bedrooms which is slowly being converted into my craft room now that he has started uni, but of course he is home for Christmas. I did pack a little emergency crafting kit for the holidays which is also in his room, so I'm having to wait until he gets out of bed! I suppose I could do some housework until then...

Time

Time...where does it go? It's been a whole month since my last post, not at all the beginning I had envisaged. It's not that I haven't wanted to blog but as anyone who knows me well will be able able to attest, I can spend an inordinate amount of time imagining the things I want to do or need to do, only to run out of time and then regretting not doing them in the first place!
Aaanyway...enough of that. What's been happening? When I haven't been working I've been trying to get organised for Christmas. Most presents have been bought, some have been wrapped, some home-made cards left over from last year have been written and some more cards will be created at the lovely Scrapbook Sisters crop this Saturday. I can't wait - it's a lovely opportunity to do what I love and catch up with some dear friends. Food shopping lists have been started. Three advent calendars are in the middle of being put up for the three men in my life - wonder if I'll get an advent calendar? I don't think the boys mind me still making them advent calendars every year, they'll just have to have a chocolate eating marathon when they come home from Uni!
Enough information for one day? I think so...But I will be back very soon!

Here we go...

So here we go, my first ever blog post. I'm still struggling with getting the blog set up really but couldn't resist doing a bit of typing in this empty box that's been staring at me forever now. I have no idea what I'm doing really but millions of everyday, normal people like me blog all the time so it must be possible for me to do it, right? I shall continue to try and get the blog to look how I want it to look but in the meantime I would just love to welcome anyone who stumbles across here! Thank you for visiting me!
