Hello ....

Sorry I have not blogged for a while lots going on and not enough hours in the day .....





Card making has been moved to the back burner, I just don't have the time to craft as much as I used to so, for now, its all on hold - including buying - I cant even believe I wrote that as I loved spending as much as making.

I did have a good run at selling cards but then it dipped over the school holidays. I still get orders but I am struggling to keep up with it all (as you wil see why later)



So, whats been going on .....

The credit crunch has been effecting me, yet another door is closing!

I used to work for agnecy, although I was employed, my work is on an adhoc basis. I normally worked 3 to 4 days a week but on the run up to Christmas, our busy period, work dropped to once a week.

From Christmas I have only worked a few days - while i was on holiday we have all recieved letters informing us of lots of changes. My RM was being made redundant and our work would come from head office. Well I stuck at it a couple of months then I got a call from my RM to leave that company and go work with her on a new project.

So - I quit my job and went to work for her, more permanent job with regular hours, regular pay etc and I am, on the whole, a lot more happier for doing it. I was a bit daunted about changing jobs but I am glad I did.

Then Ive started at training academy for hair and beauty. On Monday I do hair - there is only 5 in our group, so its great. I am working towards my NVQ level 2, so far we have done just the basics but I am really enjoying it





Then on Tuesday I do beauty, again, I am working towards my NVQ level 2 and again, there is only 5 in the group. I am paying for private tuition that's why the groups are so small. I have started on eye treatments and manicures and I am enjoying practising on everyone at home - even my poor hubby cant escape me hehehehe





So my only free day's are Wednesday and Sunday - and they are catch up days.

I am hoping to get back to making cards, if only for family and friends but until then its defo on a back burner
