My Angel in Disguise

Oh pesky batteries are still in my mouse instead of in my camera...so until I get around to taking a piccy, I'll retype this little verse for you which was inside the card my baby bought for me whilst I was having my job interview on Friday

When everything seemed hopeless

You helped to pull me through

And nobody will ever know

How much I owe to you

My life was full of sadness

And I needed setting free

I was searching for a saviour

And you were there for me

The thought of everything you've been

Brings tears to my eyes

My strength, my truth, my wisdom

My angel in disguise

...until next time, I hope you're an angel for someone special too

Clocks forward

Have you all remembered? Spring forward, Fall back?

So as its (apparently?) Spring and tomorrow Summertime begins (????) dont forget to put your clocks forward tonight - well at 2am Sunday morning if you want to stay up really late and do it right

Dunno about you but I like to put mine forward before I go to bed, then I feel a bit "naughty" cos I've stayed up even later than usual - and I dont miss the lost hour next day

Out of batteries in my camera (had to steal them for my mouse!) so keep you posted on those piccies of my card and gift I got off my darling yesterday

...until next time, enjoy your last day of spring

Result

How's this for service?

I thought I'd consider doing some temp work for the first time as it could fit in so well with my plans for Keepsake Kollections, my craft fairs, my NLP articles (forgot to tell you about that yet!) and my Valley at Work commitments etc.

So off I trot yesterday morning for my agency appointment, did my tests, did very well, happy so far, trot off home - the same afternoon, the agency rang me to ask if I could attend an interview this morning.

So off I trot again this morning for my interview, lovely place, lovely people, I start on Monday!

Who managed this feat I hear you ask? Well with a little input from me (LOL) all this was accomplished by Justine at the Rochdale branch of http://www.mpeople-recruitment.com/index.html so thanks Justine!

...until next time when I'll share with you the congratulation card and present my baby bought for me whilst I was having my interview (yes, he has that kind of faith in me!)

Foiled again

Did I tell you about the instructions that came with my new Continuous Ink System kit?

No? Well, to me, they read and looked like Dr Jekyll's laboratory - bottles and caps and syringes and tubes all over the place! - and never having seen it set up in "real life" before I was stumped! - especially when it mentioned screwdrivers! - screwdrivers?!

So today our friends, who use the same system, very kindly visited to help install it - but the whole kit has to go back cos there are two "twiddly bits" broken off and, after much deliberation, the consensus of opinion was that these "twiddly bits" being intact could be pretty essential to the process...

...so for the time being we're still printer-less until further notice and our Velvet Andy Warhol inspired creation will need to wait just a little while longer to be born

All the more to look forward to when we're back up and running though!

...until next time, I just hope your twiddly bits are fine and dandy x

Craft Fair 12 April - Heywood, Lancashire

I just spoke with a lovely lady called Evelyn at the Heywood Civic Centre, Heywood in Lancashire and booked a stall with her for the Craft Fair theyre holding on Saturday 12 April 2008

So, as ever, I'd absolutely love it if you could come along and say hi!

Big thanks to my very nice stall-neighbour (Rae?) who mentioned this event to me whilst we were chatting at the Bacup Craft Fair on Saturday

...until next time, keep smiling

Missy Legs

So Missy Legs is Bonny Lad's sister and I thought I'd share some of her photos with you today. There are usually more of him cos, well, frankly he does more daft things than she does...err usually...

The bar is open!

I love you!

...well you did leave the door open

I can see it - why can't I get it?

Oh it's nice to have company when you're not well...

...until next time, if you suffer from insomnia, make like a cat!

Bacup Easter Fair

So here's a little piccy of my table at yesterday's Bacup Easter Fair and yes, the bar was open!
And so was the food bar where I got my lovely giant cheeseburger with onions & ketchup, yum. And in case he's reading this, I must apologise for teasing the guy who didnt get cheese on his cheeseburger....I subsequently wafted my cheese-ful burger under his nose on the way back to my stall, we did laugh!



If you're one of the lovely people I met yesterday and you're reading this, a BIG THANK YOU for popping along to my Blog too, I'm so pleased you dropped by. It's been running since Feb so please have a good look around cos each post will either show you some of my work or sometimes the work of another talented crafter but hopefully you'll find something to entertain you in one way or another

...and before I sign off, take a look at our snow today! Here's the view from the back bedroom

...and a couple of views from the front bedroom window

...until next time, Happy Easter Sunday!
