Our suggested colours for this challenge are;
Coral, Petal Pink & Antique Gold
I didn’t have quite the right petal pink so I used a slightly stronger pink. I needed to make a gift card for someone from a few of us so decided to pull out my Go-To-Sketches mag that a very dear friend gave to me, thanks Sav!!! I just LOVE this magazine, as you probably know I’m a bit of a sketch girl. They just give me the mojo that I’m looking for and trigger lots of ideas for me. I made the gift card so that we could put a gift token inside attached to the tag and then write the message inside the card. I hope the rest of the girls like it!
It’s been a funny week this week for me, a bit up and down. We had a lovely weekend with family visiting and we visited friends too, which was beautiful, but the downside of that is my back pain flares up, so while I’ve been trying my hardest to keep a happy, smiley face I just want to snuggle up under my duvet and only come out for coffee and chocolate lol. I do find it frustrating sometimes that I can’t do ‘normal’ things, but then I also remember how bad I was at one point when I could hardly walk at all. We were reminiscing the other day, Tinks, Ian and I, about how I used to take so long to cross the road that it was debatable if I would make it to the other side of the road before the traffic lights changed, that’s about 3 minutes to cross the road!! You have to see the funny side of it really. Now I do deal with being in pain all the time, but I’m kind of used to it, you do just get on with it. Every now and again though, like after a busy weekend, I go into flare up and to be honest it sucks!
Anyways, you’re not hear to listen to me moaning (thanks if you got that far though lol), it sometimes nice just offloading. I don’t tend to share much personal stuff on here, I’m never sure if you would all be interested!
I seem to have loads of things to do right now but don’t know where to start, so I end up not starting at all! I’ve decided that I need to take action! I’m a girl on a mission again! I’m trying to find a great way of organising the tasks that I need to do, but something creative rather than just a plain old diary. How do you keep organised? I’d love to know! When I worked in an office job I was the most organised person, I guess I have a more creative head on now lol
