It does enjoy getting in the way of things dosn't it?
Case #1 - I signed up to do Shimelles 'Learn Something New Every Day' class starting Sept 1st. Have I done anything? No. Why? I went on holiday, I forgot to learn things. Mum went into Hospital, I forgot everything else full stop. Will now be learing something new everyday of October instead.
Case #2 - I signed up to do CJs photo Master Class. Have I done anything? No. Why? reasons mentioned above.
Case #3 - Last Scrapper Standing. Actually, this I managed to do. (see above pic) Nearly didn't though. It should have all started while I was away but there was a problem with the site so it started last Wed instead (hurrah!) However I didn't realise, with Mum in hosp, I forgot to check the site until 3 days before deadline. 3 days to design and create a layout with 8 clear elements?! Didn't think I'd do it to be honest. In fact I had pretty much given up, then got up Wed morn and created this layout. Might not be my best work but I still like it.
(btw, mum went into hosp because she had a sudden severe asthma attack. she's a lot better now tg!)
Oh, and there's a million things I want to buy and a limited budget to buy them on. I've just signed up for another 6 months sub for Cocoa Daisy, cos, you know, yum! But this does eat into budget a smidge.
Still want to get some BPAL...Perilous Parlour, Bonfire night and a couple of the Pumpkin Patches sound lovely. I'm hoping the Winter scents are similar to last years - I didn't want to buy any of them as they all sounded like they wouldn't work on me, I was very relieved!
Then there's the new Hambly, Queen and Co. Felt ribbons...Do Crafts have come out with some nice stuff recently too, I spy a trip up The Range in my future.
Oh, and I'm in my handbag buying frame of mind. Autumn/Winter always seems to hit me in the accesories department. Handbags, then shoes, make-up, coats...anything that says cozy or sparkly...*sigh* I'm so predictable.
Ooh, before I forget, assuming someone's reading this, can I ask - do you/did you have any conkers this year? I went a-conker hunting on Wed (my art class is held in a park. Well, in a building, in a park...) There was nothing! Now, either the squirrel family that lives there have gone hyper with the hoarding, some sily twits decided to collect all the conkers before they were 'ripe', some even sillier health and safety twits took 'em OR it's not a good year for conkers. Or acorns. Or Sycamore helicopters come to think of it...any help?
Cheers!
