A bit of this that and the other...

Morning folks...I've had a bit of a dilemma...what on earth am I going to put on today's blog post was the thought running through my mind last night...after managing an entry in this crafting diary every day for the last 4 and a bit years....yes this is post number 2018 would you believe...no way was I going to let you all have a day off from the goings on in the cubbyhole...so forgive me if I indulge in a bit of waffling and some might say...the thing I do best.
If you pop across on a regular basis you will know that The Furry Boy has been seriously under the weather and had his old Crafty Mum by herself with worry until I knew he'd turned the corner and was going to be OK....you'll realise how serious it was when I tell you that I didn't venture into the cubbyhole for 4 days...the cubbyhole without The Furry Boy just wasn't the same...I know from time to time I rant and rave about how naughty he is but I can't tell you how much I missed his cheeky face...his big brown "please share your cake" pleading eyes and even his "way above acceptable levels" snoring but it's amazing how quickly dogs recover...going from "oooh I'm feeling so poorly...I can't face eating anything" to "bring on the grub" in the space of a few hours...he's already making eyes at my breakfast toast and that speaks volumes...give it another couple of days and the gorgeous bundle of golden deliciousness that we all know and love will be back firing on all cylinders and driving me bonkers again.
But after the dramas of the weekend I had a severe dose of cabin fever and what better way to unfrazzle than a trip across to The Papeterie yesterday for coffee and a chinwag with my lovely buddies Debbi and Charlotte and chew the fat about some up and coming crafty workshops...killing 2 birds with one stone and picking up the cardstock for the Fiskars Workshop at The NEC which Charlotte had very kindly guillotined into square card size...one less job for me to do...all I need now is to get them scored and folded...any volunteers...
Time to get a major wiggle on and create some workshop cards for Saturday with these gorgeous Christmas stamps from my lovely buddy Paula Pascual ...I'm a bit out of practice so a bit of divine inspiration may be required...on the other hand the more I look at them...the more ideas are popping into my crafty head...
See you all tomorrow
Hugs Kath xxx
