Happy 2010 everyone

Ok so my plan last May was to stay on top of my blog but I failed miserably last night, I am putting it down to going back to work and trying to get myself into a routine. A lot fo things fell by the wayside last year, so I am hoping that 2010 is the start of a more productive and organised year.

At the end of 2009 I decided in my wisdom that I wanted to do something extra with my time, you know to fit in with working 4 days a week, looking after Oliver who is now 19months old, try to keep on top of my scrapbooking and photography so I decided to turn my hand at selling Chilrens books by Mini I-Q, so not much then lol - well November was an amazing month, I had between 2 and 3 parties a week and pulled in a lovely sum of money.
So in 2010 I would like to up my parties for the books, try my hand at a new craft - knitting is on the cards, but also I really want to step up my scrapping, I have a ton of photos that need printing and scrapping as well as putting some in albums. I am also looking on UKS 1 maybe 2 year long challenges so I really want to get myself organised so any tips welcomed.

So I have decided that I want to do the following challenges Document 2010, and Project 12 and there is possibly one other but not sure yet, along with the normal house challenges so will be busy this year. I just want to get on top of it all really.

But as we have all seen this year so far has scuppard my plans alreay, as I was house bound last week for 3 days due to a little snow, ok it wasnt really a little it was nearly a foot and half if not more, took poor Roger nearly 4hrs to dig the van and car out, it was crazy!!

Here are a few photos of last week.




My Car covered and buried!

Right, so I think I have updated enough for now dont want to over do it now lol - anyway I have kind of somewhere (page 458 :-) ) I have declared that I want to update my blog on a weekly basis so im hoping that every Sunday/Monday I will be here updating my blog, from what I have been upto, to my books and any crafting I have done. And if I find im doing well I might update more regularly!!
But for now thats your lot its late and I have just realised how knackered I am - so for now Nightie Night
