Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We had a quiet Christmas at home this year, just the two of us, which was just as well because Andy was poorly for most of it. He seems to have picked up a bit of a bug and he barely managed to eat his Christmas dinner which is most unlike him! Luckily we had a great night out on Friday night before he got poorly and we’ve got plans for a big New Year weekend so I think the rest will have done us both good. Andy bought me the most gorgeous Mulberry handbag for Christmas to match the purse he bought me for my 40th so I am a very lucky girl! We’ve got a couple of nice things to look forward to too – I bought Andy tickets to go and see Noah and the Whale, and my brother bought us tickets to see Bombay Bicycle Club.
I also managed to spend some time with my family and watching Georgie, Lola, Ella and Toby opening their presents was brilliant. I don’t think Toby really understood what was going on, but they all had a great day. Georgie and Lola both got lots of craft goodies so I think they’ll both be taking over from me shortly!
I thought I’d join in with this weeks WOYWW because I’ve had a bit of a re-organisation of my craft area. I had a bigger desk on the other side of the room with my sizzix on, but I decided to swap the desks so I work on the bigger one, and I’ve put the other one in an L-shape so I have everything within reach. At the moment I’ve got my laptops on the other desk as I’m working from home, but I’ll have my Sizzix Big Shot on there normally. As you can see, I’m part way through making an easel card using a new Scrapbook Stamp Society digi stamp, and I have a few new stamps to put away (I have a lot of new stash but I can’t tell you about that yet!). You can also see a lovely new Cath Kidston notebook which was a present from my little sis (she also bought me a ton of Cath Kidston stuff as she knows I love it). I’m thinking I might use this book to write down all the Daring Cardmaker challenges for the year.
