Just before its over.....

.... well October that is!

Hi Everyone

I have finally found some energy to get a post together before October is complete. I think after all thats been happening in the last couple of months- Hubby with no work, daughter overseas, looking after an extended family member recuperating from an opt,  juggling health issues in particular with my hands and finishing a bigger project with a quick time restraint, while fitting in a daytime job,  I suffered a bit of burnt out and for the first time since May 2006, I hadn't scrapped for 2+ months or visited really any scrapping forums. I was beginning to be a little concern that this period of time out might actually last longer, but I know I needed it and partly still do. I'm also glad that this year haven't not entered any major scrapping comps ie. masters and Elite etc, I am relaxing and not sitting on the edge of the seat waiting for the phone to ring LOL! and boy I got to tell you this feeling beats that any day! Having said that I wish all those well,  who have ventured in that direction this year and especially those who have had the endurance to enter after multiple years of it- may your dreams be realized!

Now having said that I still have committments to my DT post with Piggy Tales and so sometimes these challenges and expectations/obligations etc do push us back into finding some mojo. thank God last weekend it came back to me and I had a productive weekend. I can also say that my hubby has landed back with a job - casual but full time and is happy with his role in the building trade. I have also post-poned my opt till after the new year because the recovery time is 6wks and the retail trade doesn't shine to well on those who take time out on the christmas period etc. so we are getting somewhere. So without further ado here goes.....

So here is some work for my DT post with both Piggy Tales and 3M Scotch company.

I am glad to see you back Ruthy. Have missed seeing your creative work. I do hope that things keep on improving for you all and that the op goes smoothly too.
