Time for R&R

My mojo seems to have had an adrenalin boost while we were in Spain having our bit of R&R.  I am really enjoying crafting again and as I had all my outstanding DT commitments completed before we went away I am no longer playing constant catch up trying to meet deadlines.  The two DT cards posted today are the last ones for these challenges and whilst I have had an awesome time and was honoured to have been chosen to represent the various challenges I'm really glad to have more 'me' time.

I'm Back ...

... and rejuvenated after a week's R & R in the Spanish sun.  We had a great time staying with friends we made when we lived there.  The weather, apart from one day, was kind to us which made all the difference.  I haven't tested out my mojo as yet but I'm sure it's raring to go as well.  Hugs xx

A Bit of R & R

I won't be around next week as I'm having a bit of R & R.  This has been a horrendous week.  On Monday my husband was told he may have a melanoma on his leg and we are now waiting for an appointment with the specialist.  On Tuesday I was out with my 82 year old aunt and she fell getting into my car, breaking her leg.  On Wednesday and since I've had a sore back so all in all I've had enough.

I have stepped down from all my DT duties with the exception of Ooh La La Creations and Cupcake Cards & Crafts.  Crafting was no fun any more and I was finding it difficult to meet all the deadlines so before I flipped completely I decided enough was enough.  Another reason I need more me time is my daughter and her family are moving away from our home town and I want to be able to jump on the train anytime and go to visit them.  Thankfully they are not going too far - still in Scotland!

I have scheduled all the posts I have done and hope to be back very soon with renewed vigour and a regenerated mojo.

Hugs xx
