What’s been happening in my life….
Well it’s been all go here in the past few weeks.
Firstly I’m loving swap-bot at the moment. I am being more creative now than I ever have been in my entire life, my mantlepiece is full of cards from people who have sent me stuff and every day I am eager to get up, check my email and greet the postie! With all this mixed media work I’ve been doing I can’t help but attack everything with a pair of scissors. The hubby thinks there is a mail vandal about!
We also have a new addition to the Sylvester household. Her name is Brie. Check out her page on Catster.
I have created a blog for Kucachoo Crafts, my Etsy store. Recent posts include a collection of links about making books for journaling and a photo tutorial on making an elastic topped storage bag.
I’ve also been updating the soggy-cornflakes parenting blog with some really cool things to do with kids!
Be a groupie!
Well this week I have set up a couple of yahoo groups that I think will fill in a few gaps!
The first is a group for journaling. It’s for those who journal, want to journal or make their own journal. Journaling these days is a little more than glorified diary entries. It can be wonderfully creative using pictures, colours and embellishments to make the journal ’speak’ to you. you can have a journal on almost anything, nature, recipes, thoughts, inspiration, family history and so on.
The second group is based on a different kind of pen palling. If you have ever wanted to write to someone as a film star, secret agent or alien. Alternative pen pals is for you. It also covers alternative media pen palling where you use different things to write your letters on. I once read about a lady who received a letter on the insole of a shoe!
If you think that these groups may be of interest to you come on over and join in the fun!
What a weekend!
Well I’ve had an unusual weekend. First of all let me explain that my Husband, Mat, had a *cough* operation *cough* a week and a half ago. Well on Friday he woke up in agony, after a trip to the doctors he was told he had an infection. Interestingly the clinic he had the op at had sent a letter to the docs saying that if he developed an infection, which antibiotics he needed to take. This to me sounds sus. Anyway the antibiotics didn’t touch him and by Sat morning things were looking bad. We spent 4 hours in A&E. At one point the docs were preparing him for an operation. I tell you it was scary stuff! As it happens the antibiotics were the wrong ones and he was sent home with stronger ones but not before two surgeons had told him to fast in prep for an op…. The new tablets started working almost straight away and things are looking much better.
I did it!
Whoo! I got me a blog. A proper about me page! I’m really looking forward to using it. I’m hoping to be able to fill it with my ramblings, rants, great webpages and articles. Please be patient with me while I figure every thing out. Oh and check out the about me page for me in detail! Oh yeah and in case you aere wondering I took the picture at the top of the page myself! It’s the Maldives where we honeymooned.
