Happy New Year

I hope that 2013 will bring me more time to enjoy some papercrafting.

I am going to try and undertake PL this year. Struggling to print week one photos though!

Poorly Scrapping

At home with germs, having fun with my studio calico kit.

The Other Side

I have really slowed down all my craft activities in the past 10 months or so, actually I have slowed down everything that I had been doing at home and work.

I have not been very well, and finally about two weeks ago had an operation on my heart which I hoped would make me feel much better. Now I am on the other side. Hurrah.

I have decided I don't much like heart surgery, hospitals or generally being ill. It gets in the way of life.

I may have a few complications that I have to deal with and a few more tests but I really do hope that very soon my life can resume as normal.

On 3rd March, all being well I am going to EK for the day. I am designing a class and with a bit of luck and if feeling in good health, I will teach the class as well. (Can I teach sitting down?!)

I am so looking forward to this. I have not been scrapbooking for the day since I last went to EK - thats some months ago. Actually I havent been out hardly anywhere in the past 6 months so I maybe generally a little excited!!

Also, I am designing a layout for the forth coming A Trip Down Memory Lane retreat. I am very excited about the lovely papers I am using in this class!!!

I have been playing with a few projects over the past two weeks as and when I have been able. Above is a layout that I was tinkering with before the Op. (Choose that photo as I felt awful when it was taken and have huge bags under my eyes. A visual reminder!)

Rainy Day Hair

Thank goodness that someone invented the fancy hair grip.

Impulsion

Have you signed up for emails linked to Ali Edwards blog? I have been signed up for years and enjoy her blog and the inciteful messages that zoom in to my inbox every now and then. A couple of weeks ago Ali spoke of a new 5 year diary she was going to use. Five years, that is a long time to commit to in terms of a diary as far as I am concerned. But the theory behind it is great. A small snippet of life recorded every day for five years. A record to look back on and as the blurb says relive forgotten moments. So, as it's January and the month always heralds new adventures I have decided to commit. One Line A Day arrived today. It is pale blue, gilt edged and is generally a lovely piece of stationery. Here's to the five year commitment.
