Why I have been absent

Hello Everyone - I hope you all are well and keeping safe.

I know it has been a long while since I have written or posted anything or has often has I use too. 

Why or what has happened, last year I witness a traumatic event when a immediately family member got seriously ill and was took into hospital. I've never been apart for long periods of time from this family member before. I thank God every day that this family member is still with us..

I've been trying to recover from what I had witness. I went thorough what felt like hell at times, these past 13 months and I believe I am nearly past the worse of it.  I have always been a carer for this family member, but since June last year this has gone up a notch or too.

In my darkest hours of this time I re found my faith and I feel more calmer in my life and compete.  I have and I guess I am also still, finding my way and learning the new me. While mourning the old ways of life. 

So now you know why I haven't been about much... 

Thank you for stopping by and Thank you for you're loyalty if you are a returning follower. 

Until next time stay safe.

January Treats!

Hello Everyone  - Long time no see, I hope you all had a peaceful holiday and so far new year as been kind to you. I also hope you are well and if not I wish you a speedy recovery. 

I have been a wee bit naughty and bought a few new bits and yes I even got two boxes of Hunkydory Christmas Boxes. I'm a sucker for all things Christmas, pictures below are of what was in the two boxes.

Towards the end of 2022 I knew I wanted to do a order of some new essentials, I kept looking and adding to my online basket. At times I wasn't sure if I was going to do a order and, then on the 2nd of January 2023 I decided too. I paid for next day delivery, something I rarely do.. 

Down below is a list of what I ordered and below that again is the pictures.

1: For the love of stamp - Paw some pups

2: For the love of stamp - Paw fect pups 

3: Free gift - Puppy Love

4: StazOn Ink Pad - Jet Black 

5: StazOn Ink Pad - Gothic Purple

6: For the love of stamp - cosmic cat

7: A3 cutting mat ( been wanting to upgrade my 12x12 mat for a while now)

8: A3 Silicone Mega craft mat

9: Premier Craft Tools - stamping press and extras (been wanting one for a while now)

10: Woodware stamp - Freddie Fox

11: Woodware stamp  - potted poinsettias 

12: Watering can die.

Has you can see above are the essentials, and below is what I would say is not so essential. But I am planning to do mix media, I also fell in love with a few stamps. Plus I wasn't going to say no to the free gift was I. In the past I've missed out and have regretted so.

I also did a small order with The Works, a few Christmas/ New Year gifts and some must haves. The Christmas/New Year gifts I can not share as well I've not sent them yet.  What I can share is the two 8x8 scrapbooks and air dry clay. 

The air dry clay I have never used, but have wanted to.

Over the course of the year and possibly beyond I will use January Treats as a tag. 

Thank you for taking the time to read my latest post. 

Until next time

Blessings
