I am so sorry if you pop by my blog ....
I am not in a very good place right now just dont seem to want to do anything, not sure whats up with me but its really getting me down!
Had some smear results back that were not good at all, i am sure its nothing, well i am praying its nothing! Its just allot of worry.
I hope i am not going back to my bad depression days either :-( They are really not a place i wanna be right now!

Yesterday we made a trip to York! We visited the National Railway Meuseam. Its was great!

Not had much time for scrapping this past month :( I am upto my eyes (yes still!) with the table plan, guest book and table numbers for Mums doo! OMG dont have much time left do i!
anyway i foind a fabby wabby blog today and she is offering some seriously super duper Blog Candy! Go on check it out - Leanns Crafty Ramblings - Blog Candy!
Hubby bought me a BIA for my birfday :-) what a fabby hubby!
so i have made a CJ for the WEYW CJ on UKS
Its a bit different as we have to challenge each person in the circle .. so i thought of enclosing sealed envelopes for them to chose which will hold a colour for them to do their LO (and only use that colour)
I am sure i have seen a CJ like this b4 somewhere ...not really sure ... shame really wish i could give credit where its due, i doubt its all my thinking LOL
TFL xx
Ok the news ... i have stepped down from the DT on papercraft junkies, i just cant give it 110%, they have some new stuff on the go which i dont feel i can contribute to it and if any of you know me i give 110% or nothing, i just hate letting anyone down, and TBH i dont need the extra pressure at the mo!
So Tracey of you ready this .. i wish you all the very best for your up and coming venturs :-) xxxx
What Melissa Means |
 You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. |
