Finally!!
Back online.................I have had some major computer issues
the last couple of weeks and just plain bad luck.
It's good to finally be able to get back online. So, if I
haven't been around visiting your blogs - I apologize, I've had
limited access to the net - and it feels like I have been
way for years!
Firstly, it was the first day of school today and this little Miss
went off for the very first time..................
She was a little nervous while we
dropped the boys off and unpacked book lists but
once we got to her classrooms she was all smiles
and happy to stay with her classmates.
To me, she is way too little. She won't be 5 until May and
I am having a hard time letting go of her.
So, it's just Sophie and I from now on.
Like I was saying, I have had the worst luck lately.
First my camera was stolen, then my laptop
stopped working, our other laptop crashed and I haven't been
able able to retrieve any photos ...no worries right? They are
backed up on the external hard drive.....which would be
useful if that didn't stop working. So now, it is getting
repaired along with my laptop and I am hoping
that I get everything back. 5 years worth of photos, all my
Itunes, it's just a nightmare!!
\Then the icing on the cake.....................a week before I was
to start my new job, they inform me that they no longer have hours
available for me. Really, I must have broken a mirror or something
everything is just going wrong.
I had to give up Sophie's day care spot, which I was not happy
with since we have been on the waiting list since March last year.
So, what's a girl to do?? I'll be having a couple more
monthly sales at Apple Tree Lane before moving
to a more permanent location ;0) I will have more details on that soon.
There is a monthly challenge happening over at Scrapbookit
This one is a doozy, set by mel the challenge is
"Looking Forward, Looking Back" you must use these
words in your layout. The layout must be
* A non traditional shape
* Must use buttons, ribbon + one other embellishment.
For the card challenge
* Must be a non traditional shape also
* Must use paint, 2 patterned papers and masking tape.
You will have to go here to check out my example
as well as the other DT gals.....yeah, don't ask lol!
But, here is another layout I did
for Jo using the gorgeous Lil Primrose
collection by Kaisercraft.
You can find it right now at Scrapbookit!
Also, I wanted to play along at Show Us Your Stuff this month
and had a go at the sketch challenge.
I altered it... a lot lol!
My handmade item is this gorgeous Zippy flower
by Burdy's embellishments . Isn't it gorgeous??
Well, thanks for sticking around and reading
this very long winded post!
Hopefully I 've had my run of bad luck, I will
have to keep thinking happy thoughts from now on ;0)
Thanks for dropping by!
Monica
