this journal

is just taking sooo long! we were both ill at the begining of december with a sever cough and cold...my cough eased off but it still lingered so that at the begining of this month i ended up with pleurisy....finally recovered from that and raena was taken into hospital on tuesday with suspected apendisitis, which eventually turned out to be a cist...and she has a uti as well. she was discharged on saturday and is still in some pain and we are due back at the hospital next month for another scan. it never rains but pours!
so i am determined to do some more of the journal this week...just not sure when lol

a new year a new look

but i'm not too sure if i like the blue banner. i will leave it a few days and if still dont like it i will revert back to my black and white one.

my new blade arrived from graphtec today so ive been cutting lace numbers and gingerbreadmen for my journal...yes thats why some were missing from my journa... i really should have cut them all at the begining but with hindsight its a good job i didnt coz i had to use a scalpel to free them all, the ones i did today just peeled away with ease so the blade must have been going for a while!

i'm still working away on my journal and have just finished page 20 but its too dark here now to take a photo. i was only going to go upto boxing day but ive changed my mind and i'm goint to new years day instead...watch me change my mind again lol.

we got up this morning and it was snowing...well ok it was very very fine and didnt stick but it was snow, maybe we'll have more luck tomorrow.

i'll leave you for now with pages 16 to 19 of my journal and i'd like to wish you all a happy new year
