Busy, busy, busy

I have bought SO much craft stuff in the past few weeks its unbelievable! I haven't even got round to using half of them. I have made a fair few cards though, and I'll finish taking photos of them and if I can find my camera wire I'll be posting them here very soon.

I went to a craft and gift fair at Reebok Stadium in horwich last sunday, it was quite small but that wasn't a bad thing as there was some good quality stuff there (I spent too much lol).

I think its a crafters curse, spending too much money!

Oh and i have finally taken the plunge and bought....wait for it...a Cuttlebug!!!! And some lovely dies and embossing folders to go with it. I keep checking the site to see the status on the order. I cant wait! I've wanted one for quite a while but was put off by the prices. But then i found a site called Crafts at home, where its only £49.99!

Anyway thought I'd better post something on my blog as I've been neglecting it quite a bit. I'll try to show my new cards soon I promise.

Stitch & Creative Craft Show at Manchester!

Yes thats where I went today and loved it! Well okay to be fair it was packed with people which made it hard to actually get to look at the stalls properly sometimes, it involved several trips round the hall lol, but I still enjoyed myself and spent lots of pennies! One woman gave me some advice, she said to leave my manners at the door and just push in. Then she let me go in a queue infront of her which I found funny!

I'll be making lots of cards with my new crafty stuff soon, I'm also planning on making a bunch of Valentines cards and persuading my boss to let me sell them at the shop. I've never bothered with Valentines day cards before so it should be fun.

I'm knackered from today so I wont write a list of what I bought, but it involves lots of paper, card, peel offs and gorgeous decoupage dragons. God I cant wait. Hey come to think of it why am I? I'm off!

2009

I know we're three quarters of the way through January, but seeing as its my first post of 2009 I want to wish everyone a happy new year.

Now I have a few plans for this year, and I hope I can be successful in all of them.

• Get a new job

I, quite frankly, am sick of my job. I dont seem to get any respect from my bosses, I can work my ass off every night, and they only bring up negative things, instead of giving me kudos for my good work. I'm finding myself having to do jobs that other co workers claim to have done, because if I dont then I get lectured on it, even though its not a fault, and quite frankly its driving me crazy. The only reason I've stayed working there for so long, to be honest, is because I've got too comfy there. I need a new challenge, I need to work somewhere where I'm appreciated and not treated like a useless lump. If I could quit right now and walk away and concentrate on my avon for a while and look for a new job then I would. But I'd dissapoint my dad and he'd be mad at me.

• Pass my driving test

Well I need to get the courage to book it first! I've been hurt too much when I've failed it and I really dont want to do that again, but i DO know I CAN pass the test, I just need to go for it. Arghh! Positivity all the way, right?!

There is plenty more but those are the main two, and if I dont do them then I'm gonna go loopy lol.

Oh and I also promise to do lots and lots and lots of crafting and card making this year, and to keep my blog updated.
