Wow what a quick year 2013 has been, it’s been a whirlwind….I hope 2014 slows down slightly….I’m getting no younger!
I hope everyone has enjoyed their festive season, it’s been quiet here, a nice relaxing couple of days, but now it’s back to the grindstone with study and work….the kiddiewinks had a great Christmas and were spoilt rotten as usual….
I also received some lovely gifts….in no particular order…
Thank you Mum :)
Thank you Mum and Dad :)
Thank you Michelle :)
Thank you Karen (My OU Craft Group Christmas Exchange)
Thanks you Kath :)
and last but my no means least….a cupcake timer from the little Miss and a travelling sewing kit from the little man, both chosen by themselves :) :)
…I was spoilt too :)
I cooked this year, the traditional turkey with all the trimmings, followed by Christmas pudding….it was yummy if I do say so myself.
I had a childfree wander around the shops yesterday and treated myself to some new make up, a new hair colour (Frosted Chestnut), some new sparkly glittery nail paints and a new lunchbox and tea mugs from Cath Kidston :)
In my last post I offered two charts that had been gifted to me….Lynda I have emailed you for your details…well done :)
I also noticed that it was my blogaversary on Christmas Eve….6 years I’ve been blogging…460 posts, 1 pregnancy and birth, 3 relationship break ups…lol, 3 house moves, 2 jobs, a degree enrolment, a diabetes diagnosis, hundreds of craft finishes….a 40th birthday..*gulp*….anyway in the time I have made many lovely blogging friends and special friends and have loyal followers and commenter's, therefore my blogaversary giveaway this year will be chosen at random from one of my loyal commenter's from the past year…so if you are one of those…maybe an email will be with you very soon…I will make the drawing on New Years Eve.
Well I must now get out my study books…..Islam is the book of choice at the moment…..
I will be back with New Year plans…very soon
Hugs & Stitches

I am so with you on time needing to slow down! I had to giggle at the pics of your little ones opening their presents, their hands must have been moving so fast to open, as they are all a blurr! Lovely goodies! Wishing you all the best in 2014!!
