I have had a terrible day and as a result have an enormous headache. 1 day away from moving and our buyers have pulled out. Here I am surrounded by boxes, my DH already in Exeter settling into his new job, all of my teaching equipment packed and then at 4.45 I received the phone call to tell me that my buyers were pulling out and no longer wanted to proceed with the purchase of my house. I feel a bit numb and not quite sure what to do next. Do I unpack boxes and try to showcase the house again for any future viewers or do I leave everything as it is (like a packing warehouse) and just hope that people can see through the stack of boxes and bubble wrap. DH, who is always so practical seems to be at a loss as to what to do. He has suggested sleeping on it and then looking at the situation again in the morning butwith a massive headache I know that I wont be getting much sleep.
Lets hope tomorrow is a better day.
Take care

On the move!
Our offer for our ideal cottage in Devon has been accepted and I am now officially excited. I am so relieved that it is the summer break and I have got a few days to pack things up. It looks like we will have to move in temporary accomadation for a few weeks as it appears that the solicitors are having difficulty with co-ordinating everything but I don't mind really. I am just happy that things seem to be on the move. The only thing I am not looking forward to is packing up the craft room!!!!
Have a good evening

A sea of cardboard boxes
Good evening all
Great news. We have sold the house. Now comes the fun(ny) bit... Trying to pack the contents of the house into cardboard boxes. It's amazing that the contents of 1 cupboard uses 6 boxes and then where do you put the sea of cardboard boxes. PussKat enjoys the boxes but not the hustle and bustle. I just have to make sure that she is not inside when I seal them. We have been asked if we can be out by the end of August and so it's full steam ahead. It's lucky that I am on a summer break from school. I just hope everyone else can move as fast as I can.
back to the packing

Hello
Hi Everyone
I can't believe it's been so long since I last visited my blog. I admire those people who manage to post something every day (If only I was so disciplined!)
Now that I have finished work for the summer I am hoping to spend more time crafting but I am under strict instructions not to make a mess. The house is lovely and tidy as it is up for sale and when ever I use anything I have to make sure it goes back straight away.
PussKat is enjoying the number of cardboard boxes that I keep bringing home for packing. She thinks that they are hers and gets quite ratty when I start packing things into them. She can't understand why strangers are walking around her home or why I keep shutting her bowl and toys away in the cupboard. Hopefully things will settle down soon.
Have a good day
Hugs

No more bandages!!
Good evening all
Yeah!!!
No more bandages. I have had my first check up at the hospital after having my foot operation and all seems to be going well. I am fascinated with the bits of wire that are still attached to my toe and are poking through the skin. It was great to wash my feet for the first time in nearly 3 weeks. (Apoligies to anyone eating their tea)
I have been given the all clear to go back to work tomorrow but I am still not allowed to drive so my DH is on chauffer duty for another four weeks. Bless him! I have bought some really bright stripey socks to wear on my 'poorly' foot. Hopefully this will draw attention to it and prevent the 'littlies' accidently standing on it.
I would like to share with you a card that I made using one of the new Molly Blooms stamps. I think its so sweet. Claire is such a talented lady and whenever she has a class at SirStampalot I always try to go. Have a lookat her other stamps and design ideas at http://mollybloomdesigns.blogspot.com
Enjoy the rest of your weekend

Thank you everybody
Good evening friends
Sorry that I have been out of action for a few weeks but I should be slowly getting back to norm (whatever that is??????) over the next few days. I have finally had my operation on my foot and am sporting a lovely big blue shoe to protect it. The problem is the shoe is enormous and I keep falling over it.
PussKat has decided she doesn't like me at the moment. I can't blame her really. She was rescue cat from the RSPCA and although she has settled in beautifully (she now rules the place!!!) she still doesn't like loud noises or sudden movements, so me falling over and hobbling around is not helping.
I would like to say a massive 'Thank you' to all of my ladies who came to my class at Sir Stampalot on Saturday (We had such a great time) for making me sit down at regular intervals. There were some real funny moments telling stories of incidents that have happened on various visits to hospitals and as some of my ladies actually work in a hospital environment they were quite graphic at times. Glad I heard them after my operation or I may just have changed my mind.
The good thing about having some time off work is that I can get some crafting done so I should be able to show some more examples soon.
Here is a card that I made using one of 'The Lily of The Valley' rubber stamps. I just love these little girls, they are so cute. Visit their site to see the other designs that they have on offer.

Furry Friends
Good Evening Everyone
A quick posting before bedtime because it's back to work tomorrow after half term break. (They never seem long enough to get everything done that I need to get done!)Scrap-creations have a challenge to make a 'Birthday Card'. I have had these two stamps by Whipper Snapper for ages and haven't used them and so this seemed the ideal opportunity. I love the combination of black and orange together (must use it more often). The insides of the cards have been decorated in a similar theme to the front. I always do this to my cards as I feel that it gives them a more finished feel.
Hope you like them.
Hugs
