Phew!

Well, I planned to do a proper blog entry with photo's today, but I'm whacked so going to chill out tonight. Really sorry, I haven't put the Fab Friday Challenge on either - it's been so busy I haven't had time to think outside our QVC box - hopefully will be able to get back to normal next week.

It's been a great week, really nice seeing Gill from Kanban, our Gill and Mary from Topaz, and Sara today (and Dawn and JJ of course!). We have been busy little bee's but it's been great.

Tomorrow I'm off to do book signings and play with some lovely craft stuff with Sarah Lawrence, there will be some wonderful demonstations by Sarah and I belive Liz Welch will also be there, both fabulous to watch and learn from. I'm really looking forward to it, and hope to see some of you there.

Just a quick house update, we didn't get the "dream" house, had to go for our second option, which unfortunately doesn't have any character, and the crafting on the lawn will definately have to go on a back burner - but it's big enough and close to Canterbury. I'm over the disappointment, and now looking forward to moving, but also keep getting really upset. Nicky asked if we should take the shelves and it set me off crying! I think it's been a good thing being so busy this week, otherwise I may have been a blubbering wreck. I'm looking forward to having a bigger craft room, and been having a look at Paula's storage solutions blog for idea's, certainly can't plan what to do with the garden now - we'd be hard pushed to swing the cat round it. It's also exciting planning all the new places to visit, and Canterbury has some lovely old pubs.......mmmm.

Well, I better pack my back for tomorrow, and work out where I'm going. I'll pop photo's on from last week soon.

Oh bless you! Don't forget that moving house is one of the most stressful things you can do so you are allowed to blub! You need to do what I'm going to do tonight - chill out watching Big Brother!!
