So, true to my word, I have been crafting! My craft room is nearly sorted - just waiting on some shelves - and then I will be making a few cards too. I have been cross-stitching even while I wasn't able to access my boxes, but I have really missed beading and card-making. I am looking forward to being able to post even more makes very soon.

Teaser...

This is the month that I have been waiting for, for a verrryy long time! I can't tell you why yet, but I will once it is all official! I am really excited...

Plus, tomorrow is the day of my first meeting as a Weight Watchers Leader! Nerves is not the word for it! Please think of me at 10am tomorrow.

I Am So Proud of My Son...

This arrived in the post today. It was a project that Max's school entered all the children into - the idea was to write a 'mini saga' in 50 words or less. They had 30,000 entries and his was chosen to go into the Eastern Region book. I am assuming that a lot of the entries will be included as they are producing books for each region - even so, I am so proud of him. The people running the publication will be writing to his school to say that he was one of the winners, so he should get some praise there too.

He has also been in the local paper, in the last year, for writing a story about an alien ship landing in the playground. One child from each year won a small prize and got their story published. He won for Year 3. Maybe we have a Booker Prize winner in the making...
