Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great new year, 2009 it's hard to believe isn't it!

I have really piled the pounds on over the festive season, I am OBSESSED with food. I have this mega urge to make stuff like bread for heaven's sake, and I will be dragging out my old soup recipe book very soon.

Dark goings on near where we live, you may have read that a lady out walking found a head in a bag on a footpath in Edinburgh. Well that find was less than a mile from our house, I wondered why the local footpath was cordoned off during a walk the other day......spooky and quite grisly. We saw all the forensics wandering about in their white suits on the path the other day too.

Just before Christmas I decided I needed to get back into my magazine work. I took a break, not knowing what effect my treatment would have. Since I have felt so well, I decided to get back into it and as a result all my lovely editors want me back, and I now have 4 commissions - yay!!

I spent yesterday making cards using Stampin' Up! Products and I am pleased with the results. Got to start work on another soon. 

Talking of Stampin' Up! ( I can never resist the chance of a promo!) they have a great offer on at the moment called Sale- A-Bration. Basically if you spend £45 or more (before postage) you can choose a free stamp set from a little brochure. If you are interested, send me an email and I will email you back a pdf of the brochure.

Yesterday I had a lovely surprise in the post, Julie Hickey sent me a beautiful handmade card to wish me a happy New Year -thanks Julie!!!
