I hope you all had a peaceful and merry Christmas! Hopefully I can still remember how to blog, and link, etc - since it has been a whole six months since I last posted! I can't remember what was happening in my life back then, but a lot has happened since, brief synopsis below. I hope everyone is keeping well, and I have missed catching up with everyone. I have scooted round a few of my favourite desks over the months just to keep up a little. I can't promise I can post every week, but life is not the same without the desk snooping, so I aim to head over to The Stamping Ground once a month at least, more if I can.
So ... highlights of my last six months - just so anyone who is interested is up to speed:
July - was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid gland. That explains why I have been so tired and put so much weight on!
August - went on our biennial family holiday. This time to Anglesey. We all want to move there! The house was gorgeous, weather was great and spending a whole week together was perfect, after a year of hardly seeing each other.
September - took the plunge and signed up for clear aligners with my dentist. A bit old I felt, but he assured me my crooked teeth would be straightened in a few months!
October - I spent the morning of my birthday being interviewed for a new role and doing a presentation, and 3 hours after I left the building, I was offered the job. Great birthday present - I start there in February.
November - Had my booster jab, and my flu jab, and doctor upped my Thyroxine tablets, as the dose wasn't high enough. It will be reviewed again in January.
December - Santa Express was a hit, the children really missed it last year. We had our Pizza & Prosecco Christmas eve party at my daughter's in Leeds, and Colin cooked Christmas Dinner for everyone.
Desk time ....(at last I hear you say). I have crafted yesterday, so took the photo. Not my full desk, as there is mountains of junk on it from Christmas cards and wrapping presents. It's what I was doing yesterday - an MDF ink storage rack. I decorated it with Lavinia stamps. I also ordered a few kits for mixed media projects (Neet, Angela and Zsuzsa will be so proud of me lol). This should give me something to show on my next few posts - thinking ahead a bit, you see.
If you have read this far, you can breathe a sigh of relief- you have reached the end of my post! Have a lovely week, and I will spend a leisurely day visiting desks - inbetween crafting and boring housework. Have a safe and Happy New Year, take care, Heather xx
