Not Quite Up To Speed

Morning Folks......can I say a big big thank you to you all for your good wishes and the fabulous response to our 1st Birthday celebrations over at Penny Black Saturday...and congratulations to all the winners of the prizes donated by our sponsors and also the fabulous candy give-aways from the Design Team. We truly appreciate your support each and every week and hope you will continue to join in the fun.
The old gal isn't quite back up to speed.......I have loads of photos to share from my week away but haven't got round to uploading them all on to the computer for editing....I could hardly keep my eyes open last night.....it was off to bed early.....and what a great feeling to snuggle down in your own bed.....although I did wish I could transport my bedroom in Den Haag back home.....I fell in love with it.....with it's own little balcony complete with sofas overlooking the garden.....

and you know me folks.....always up with the birdies....yes even on holiday......so it was coffee machine on and the first cuppa of the day enjoyed in the company of my constant companion...my little Sparky Dude

I missed my big bundle of golden deliciousness so much ...but this little guy managed to steal a little piece of my heart.....although I don't think he has yet earned the privilege of sleeping on beds....but he would follow me back upstairs after my morning cuppa and when I came out of the shower.... I would find him fast asleep on the floor next to my bed....with my slipper in his mouth.......another "SLIPPER FETISH BUDSTER" in the making.

It's going to be a bit of a manic week...so what's new......beginning to feel as though I have never been away...lots of DT stuff to catch up on....another fabulous download from Anice at Funky Hand....."I DO" Word Book...a wedding word book collection...with gorgeous gorgeous papers....available on the website....samples to make for Polka Doodles.....fast approaching "Create & Craft" TV launch of the "Sugar Birdies" CD and of course....this week's DT cards.

Managed to wade through that mountain of e-mails last night and open all the mail from last week.....most of it junk but then I came to a parcel.....oooh exciting and I knew immediately who it was from....my lovely bloggy bud....Miss Dawny P sent me some super cute images....some delicious crafty goodies and this gorgeous card....she is such a sweetheart...just need to find lots of spare time so I can have a play.

check out this gorgeous beaded charm

And although it pains me to say......I have to admit that Mr Blogger did exactly as I asked him last week....well that must be a first...so through gritted teeth......"Thank You Mr Blogger"......well it's time for our morning stroll.....get the next load of washing out......a quick dance round with Mr Dyson and then off to the cubbyhole for some crafting withdrawal medicine and tonight I must try and catch up with you all.
