Well hello little blog!

Hi All

It has been a while but hopefully I am back in action…well, kind of! I went back to work at the beginning of September and have finally managed to get some time to myself to craft! In my absence I have missed celebrating my blogging birthday and my actual birthday with you…watch this space for some candy on it’s way!

So what have I got for you today? I have got another SMASH page for you…feeling like my MOJO is finally coming back so really enjoyed making this page. It is my ‘30 before 30’ page as I hit the big 30 next year! Will pop my list below for you to have a look at but I hope you like my page.

My 30 before 30 list:

1. Learn how to crochet
2. Learn how to knit a baby cardigan
3. Go abroad again on a plane
4. Craft for at least four hours a week
5. Start to write a book
6. Send an RAK each month
7. Read 30 books
8. Finish red SMASH book
9. Put more pictures up in the house
10. Sort out loft and de-clutter spare rooms
11. Blog once a week at least
12. Take time to relax at a spa (twice throughout the year?)
13. Lose some weight and eat more healthily
14. Get a new job
15. Go on a Jane Austen week tour
16. Drive up to Sunderland on the motorway
17. Save some money
18. Buy a piece of designer clothing/bag/shoes
19. Complete a December Daily in 2012
20. Make bread from scratch
21. Organise doing my Masters
22. Book a spontaneous weekend away on a Thursday and surprise hubby
23. Start a patchwork quilt
24. Have a grown up girly weekend away
25. Donate to three different charities throughout the year
26. Something ‘For My Eyes Only’
27. Another one ‘For My Eyes Only’
28.  
29.  
30.  

I still have three things to add to the list but not sure what they are going to be at the moment! Will let you know how I am getting on…I have already started to learn how to crochet, plan my December Daily, job hunting, blogging and another page done in my red SMASH book!

I also have a new baby girl card to show you that I made. Our friends have just had another beautiful baby girl last night so we are super excited to go and see her! Hoping she will like the card and off to get her some little pressies….time to get broody again!

My birthday was on Wednesday and I has so many lovely gifts-I was well and truly spoilt by everybody! Apart from being at school, I had a nice day but really celebrated yesterday as hubby took me and my friend to Rosemerry Merry’s shop in Ellesmere Port! Was fab and I was extremely naughty buying lots of things I probably didn’t need…oops! Had a lovely time though and we made an unexpected visit to Cheshire Oaks on the way back which was nice. Here is me outside her shop with my goodies!

Hope all my friends in the blogging world are well and I will try to come and visit you during the week and may even try to get back into my challenges.

Thanks for looking and happy crafting!

Hugs

Arline
