I popped back to WW this week for the first time in about a month. Luckily I hadn't gained any weight which I was quite pleased with considering I haven't actually been on track at all. Once we have had our holiday I plan to get totally back on plan and do my best to lose some pounds in the run up to Christmas. I need to get out more at the weekend too and start walking again - going to try and drag Tom along with me too!
About a week or so ago I entered a draw on the Craft Obsessions Facebook page to win a ticket to the Big Stamp and Scrapbooking show at Ally Pally. I never in a million years thought my name would be picked but it was - yay!! I have been going to AP on and off for about 10 years now and I can still remember the very first time I went. The place was heaving and packed to the rafters with enough scrapbooking supplies to keep me going until the end of time. I have no idea how much I spent that first year but I do know that I had to stop shopping as I literally was weighted down by all my purchases and I couldn't carry one more thing. Unfortunately over the years the show has declined and the last time I went (in Spring 2016 I think) there was very little in the way of scrapping supplies. However for someone like me who loves all things creative its still a pleasant way of passing a couple of hours.
The show was ok but there was absolutely no scrapping stuff which was a little disappointing. I did manage to get a few bits and pieces though, a couple of stamps to make Christmas cards, some card blanks and some MDF shapes from Anna Marie Designs to make some pretty festive decorations. I also picked up a handy little stamping tool that will hopefully enable me to stamp perfectly straight images. Watch this space and I will share with you what I create with my new goodies.
I planned to begin my holiday packing when I got home but I felt a bit grotty so we just nipped to Tesco for some snacks and then ended up spending the evening watching Disney You Tube vlogs.Anyway after a good nights sleep I began to sort through my holiday stuff, its so sad to think that this will be the last time this year I get to wear pretty Summer clothes - boo to it being cold again. Once again I used my packing cubes - they are so handy and make packing & unpacking an absolute breeze. Just two and a half working days for me and then its off we go - I can already feel the sun on my skin and taste the sangria!
Hope that you are all well and that you have had a good week and weekend. There wont be any blog posts until after our holiday now, I plan to share lots of sunny pics with you as soon as I am back. If you cant wait that long please you can pop over to Instgram and follow me there, I plan to post some pics on there whenever and wherever we can get wifi.
Love and hugs - Jane xx
