Well, what fun we had yesterday. Yes we had snow in the UK and around lunch-time the school called to say that they were closing (some teachers live far away).

Snow has finally hit the UK. Right now it's steady - looks lovely but causes a lot of problems. The kids usually love it but not people travelling to work.

Do anyone else ever have Mojo failure? So days it's brilliant and I have lots of ideas and then other days I can sit at my desk for ages and nothing happens. I am pretty sure I am not the only one.

Today I have a tag to share featuring

You Rock by Bugaboo - tag from WH Smith - scraps of designer papers - kraft - letter from "I forgot"

Challenges

Well, it's looked almost Christmasie today with a little dusting of fluff on the back patio. They have promised us more tonight so if it comes it won't be nice for people returning to work after the week-end.

The Alley Way Stamp

Welcome 2013 and happy New Year to all.

Well, the new year is here and with it comes the hope of lots of dreams, wishes and prayers. I don't tend to make resolutions but I do want to make a few changes to my life.

The first is to continue with Slimming World and lose weight. I have lost a total of 1 1/2 stone so far so you will all be able to follow in my progress every Tuesday. That is the day of my weigh-in. 

The second is to get back into work and start socializing again. Been a long time since I last worked so it's all a little scary but exciting too. I am aware that the job situation is tough at the moment and I am not young any more.

The third is to stop buying crafting stuff (yes, I do know it's almost impossible lol). I have A LOT of stamps - digital and rubber - I have never used so this year I am determined to use some of them. My sons got me a BigShot for Christmas so the thing that I will be purchasing this year are dies. 

Anyway, enough of my chit-chatting for now and for my  first card of the year I used

Steaming hot (November freebie) from The Alley Way Stamps - Papermania card-stock - kraft - scraps of designer papers - Gel pen

Challenges

The Alley Way Challenge - Inspiration #18
Everybody Art Challenge - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes

Thank you for dropping by and have a great day.

Hugs, Mette
