Yep - still alive

I have been so long blogging I'm surprised I remembered my password.

I have been working at a great job - but that means much less time for creative pursuits. The job is part time, school hours and for GirlGuiding - it just doesn't get much better than that (well perhaps being paid for 40 hours and working 20). The job will only last short term and I'm sure it will be over sooner than I hope.
I am trying not to love it too much so that I don't get so sad when I have to leave.

Anyway ... I have managed to make Christmas cards this year and have even posted most of them ubt we are way behind in the present buying stakes and we leave on our holiday on Monday .... oh well - they have shops where we are going.

All the best to you and yours and I'll try to be a better blogger again next year - don't hold your breath.

I caught a mouse ... and other things

Yeah I finally caught a mouse. It seems the peanut butter was the trick but perhaps I should have spread it straight onto the trap and not worried too much about the bread - anyway I got one... which reminds me he is still in the trap and I'm not totally sure how long he's been in there as I was away for the weekend. Better go and sort that out.

Other news is that I have a new job that has started very suddenly. It is to cover someone's maternity leave position and will last 6-12 months. I was going in for some training but turned into the first day! My head is spinning now!


No cards to show you for now ... hopefully everything will settle down and I'll get back to it.

Long time no post and MICE

Yep I have been MIA again ... working, recovering from working (:-), school holidays and now more working have all kept me from the computer and the craft room and the blog - oh well - things will return to "normal" soon - I hope.

Anyway those of you who have followed my life on here for a while will remember my party loving mice who 'share' my craft room with me ... well you guessed it they're back - I have already caught one but the others are pretty clever having managed to sneak the bait on more than one occasion. Last night while I was down there creating they were having a feast on something behind me (not a nice sound I tell you).

So this post is really just to say I am still alive and kicking and will be back soon I hope but am off to set some more bait - wish me luck.
