Fat and Fatter

Aka Hubby and Me!!!!!  We came down to our daughters before Christmas and are staying house sitting.... whilst they go off skiing we have to look after all the animals, well, I don't but hubby does.  Although I've brought some craft essentials with me, why is it you always have ideas that involves things you don't have with you.  I did a journal page today...


We have eaten and drunk far too much and I can't even get into one pair of jeans I've brought with me and I can't even blame the steroids, lol.

I see my handwriting hasn't improved over the festive period, even though I did have a practice one day. Although it's lovely to be with family, I can't wait to get home and into my craft room, I've got withdrawal symptoms.

Hope everyone had a good time and wish you all good health and happiness for 2011.

    But if you can't eat and drink too much at Christmas, when can you?!
    I would have trouble being away from my stash too long!! Happy new year; and thanks for all your lovely comments during 2010.

    I think we all over-indulged this christmas, although i seem to be doing it all year round nowadays. Ah well another year, another diet.

    I always think your handwriting adds to the quirkyness of your art work. Hope to see you more this year, xoxox Ann
