On the Cards...

Today has been busy busy; cleaning, food shopping, ironing (so much bloody ironing) and Christmas cards.

I have thankfully got the family's cards all finally written, stamped and addressed; and between them, the kids, with a little help from Daddy, probably got 100 done too, oh the joy of the school mail box.

We, on the other hand, have a group of friends that reduce in inverse proportion to the rises in the price of stamps.  I am one of those nerds that bought a bunch of stamps before the prices went up in the Spring, but it is still an expensive business!

So tomorrow I will have the joy of queuing at the Post Office, again.  I have a horrible feeling that I will need to go again on Wednesday too, but then I can be there before the doors open, and I can move way faster the rest of the clientèle!

I haven't therefore had the chance to play with my new toy, which is a bit frustrating, but not as frustrating as the things that need making, and remain unmade!

I hope you have had a busy but constructive weekend, I only have 2 more working days, and I can't wait!!  I have to fit in a carol concert and a Yr3 Dickensian play; Friday is Christmas party day, and end of term, and at some point I need to get a turkey!

Keep smiling xxx

Lucky Cow!

Before I start, thank you so much for all the wonderful comments on my Stained finish - it means a lot that so many folks I love and respect have said such sweet things about something I've made; you guys know how to make me smile, and I will answer all your comments as soon as I can.

And if that wasn't enough to boost my ego today, remember my little not-the-FUNC thread catcher for Sunni's Farmer's Wife In Your Life linky party?  Well I only went and got an honourable mention from Laurie Aaron Hird didn't I!!! 

So, I've been meaning to show off tell you about this too for ages.  Before Easter I received a discount code for Moo, combined with some googled free shipping and cashback, (I use TopCashback to keep me in the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed!), I excitedly sent off for some minicards.

Ordered Wednesday, received Saturday!!

I know some of you already have them, and I have been jealous for a long time, stewing away quietly, but now I have some too; oh they are so lovely!

Obviously I won't be handing any out, they are just for me to look at and add to the illusion that I am way more important than I really am!  I don't think there is anything wrong with that, once in a while ;)
