In other news, I have finally started my Summer hols but it has yet to sink in that I have six weeks off to myself - it will really hit me tomorrow morning when Ed gets up for work and I don't!
It has spurred me on to make a few changes. I want to spend more time with friends and family, I want to sort out my finances in the face of the dreaded credit crunch, and I want to spend some time clearing out the house of any old stuff which is cluttering it up. I also want to spend some time scrapping of course! Every now and then you reassess the important stuff and I've been doing that lately - spending less time on the computer is going to have to be a part of that for the next few months, although I will endeavour to keep updating my blog most days as this is also a way for my friends and family to keep in touch with me too.
On the theme of change, I had some sad news this week - one of the online stores I design for, Rebecca's Scrapbooking Stash, is closing down. As a result, Rebecca is going to be having a sale for the next few weeks which will be well worth a look. It means I'm now only designing for one store, which is a shame, but I'm sure Papermaze will continue to keep me busy!
I want to just say WOW! I totally love the layout you did for the class, it is amazing. I have just been reading the posts that I have missed and you have been a busy girl. But I know have to go and purchase me a set of those stamps you have been using. I just wish I had some mojo to go and play.
ReplyDeleteI have laughed at a few things, we have the same pink phone and almost the same idea books, also I want to thank you for the shout-out, it was so sweet of you Chloe.
So your plans for the summer hols sound good, I too am working on money matters as Maternity pay is a lot less than what I earn at the moment and if I dont go back we need to find ways of cutting back. If you have any brainwaves, give me a shout! Dont forget to have some fun days out too!
Right must dash or I will take up too much space.
Speak soon xx

Reading your layout, you've certainly achieved a lot so far and I'm sure you'll go on the fulfil your goals for the future. Enjoy your 6 weeks off - my daughter only breaks up on Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteLove this portrait of you aspiring! Did you do it with a timer or did someone else take the shot? As always I really like your journalling, I want to try this style myself but am not sure my handwriting is up to it!
