With a Little Help From My Friends

Morning folks...crikey the weather in my neck of the woods has been wild and stormy to say the least...the wind's been blowing a hooley making those scary wooshing noises as it rattles around the house.  It's silly o'clock and I'm sitting at the computer right next to the radiator looking out at the slight covering of snow with The Furry Boy slumbering at my feet wondering if he's thinking what I'm thinking...that it might be good idea to give our morning stroll a miss today...I hate these dark gloomy cold mornings but probably not...as soon as I move he'll be switched on and raring to go.
Don't know about you but I've got that deflated apres Christmas feeling not helped by the dismal weather we get at this time of year...the thought that Winter proper has still to come and the fact that the Fiskars projects are yet to get off the ground...just can't seem to get back into the crafting groove...oh dearie me I've been hit by a bout of moaning minnie doom and gloom sickness.  Is there a cure...well help may well be right under my nose...staring me in the face and in the words of those Beatles classics....
"ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"
"WE CAN WORK IT OUT"
"WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS"
my fabulous specially commissioned "kick up the butt" inspirational Cubbyhole Christmas pressie mug from my lovely buddy Debbi...
and the Christmas supply of chocolate yummies destined for the cubbyhole may well persuade Mr Mojo to come out to play...ooh I feel better already...every cloud has a silver lining...the shortest day has been and gone...only 2 days left of 2011...Spring can't be that far away with those gloriously light and bright "up with the birdies" mornings and tomorrow is Hogmanay...time to ditch the grumpy face and get ready to step into a brand New Year.
Hugs Kath xxx

    Hi Kath.
    I know how you feel. We spend so long getting excited about Christmas and it's over with before we know it. It's dark, gloomy and wet down in Devon this morning. Maybe a brisk walk is what you need to clear the cobwebs and get your mojo back. I love your mug by the way!!! Hope you have a good day xx

    Great mug! That'll DEFINITELY help get those Fiskars kits going.

    Now, NORMALLY, I am a complete Chocoholic . . . but after Christmas, I never want to see another one (for at least a week LOL!).

    Great mug Kath. I think I need a kick on the tail to get me moving. I have to make a card before tonight but I can't seem to get out of the bit. Think I may have had too many sweets and mince pies etc lol!!

    Now I wonder who does the nibbling - it can't be your Mum Buddy (you're presumably awake by now) as there would be evidence all over the projects - bet you have a paw in there. Got to venture out this morning for some essentials - dry for the moment...........you'd better help Mum with Mr Mojo ........ Enjoy your mug Kath - great!

    It's freezing cold, blowing a gale and raining here in the North East. Just back in from the shops - no pleasure out there. Great Mug and chocs - my idea of heaven. Going to put the kettle on and get the crafty stuff out. Have a great New Year and in case I don't get back to wish you all the best for 2012 "ALL THE BEST FOR 2012". Take Care AnnX

    Kath, Lost your mojo? There's only one solution - after "A Hard Day's Night", when you feel like you've been working "Eight days a week", "Get Back" to the cubby hole and Buddy will tell you "We can work it out" and it will "all come together"
