For this months Secretpostclub, the recipient of my gift was Crystal Jigsaw and I sent her one of my handmade mini bags filled with goodies (hand cream, funky emery boards, selection of nail varnishes and some remover pads) The feedback I had from her was lovely and it was so nice to know that she was able to share the gift with her Daughter which I hoped she would do.
I was very excited to find out that my Secretpostclub pressy was a gift from Pippa over at A Mothers Ramblings. She sent me a personalised psychic tarot and angel card reading…on DVD! How fab is that? She also sent me a set of angel cards so that I can learn to do the readings myself.. How cool is that? I’m not going to go into too much detail about what was said but I can reveal that she was pretty much spot on with a lot of it and i’m quite excited for the future! I’ve only watched the DVD once so when I get a bit more time this weekend i’m going to watch it again and take it all in. The messages that have come across in my reading have reassured me what action I need to take in the next few months and if my angels are telling me so, I can’t go wrong really. All will be revealed in due course. Thank you very much Pippa, I really appreciate your gifts they are ace

I didn’t have zip trauma and although I had to unpick a little bit (I managed to sew the bottom too wonky!) I think it does resemble the pattern Result! Now I know how to sew it all up, I’m hoping the next couple will be a lot more pretty and polished… here’s hoping anyway!
So, all you have to do is leave a comment on my blog with your expression of interest in taking part and next weekend I’ll pick a couple of names and Pay It Forwards (not sure yet in what ways I will but they’ll be good, I promise!)…oh, and you must pledge to Pay It Forwards too!



Holidays are coming, holidays are coming….
It’s the holidays!!
I’ve finally finished work and have 2 full un-interupted weeks off work. Yippee! I’ve got so much planned to cram into these next couple of weeks but really wanted to start the holidays off gently and have spent the whole day today in my pjs sewing. I’ve made another 6 gorgeous make up bags which I’ve just put on facebook for my friends to have a gander at and then I’ll be putting the rest on Folksy to see how well they sell. I’ve also kicked off the holidays by starting the diet again! I stepped onto the scales yesterday morning and did not like the figures looking back at me…… so have planned the meals for the week to fit nicely in with the diet so fingers crossed the pounds drop off me!
My plans for this week include dye hair, continue with dvd fest, experiment with a few more handmade bag ideas, enjoy and survive cousins 21st birthday BBQ, meet up with a friend, go up to Camelot for a family fun day out, re-pot some plants my Grandad gave us, perform the annual cleanse of my wardrobes, catch up on the filing, do a bit of housework, pack and prepare for camping holiday to Norfolk and celebrate my 3rd wedding anniversary!
Oh, I just love the holidays…
