Rocking My World Friday

Friday again (where did that week go?) so hello my fellow Rockettes.

So what  have I been grateful for this weeK?

Firstly, time in the house on my own (apart from Max - but more of him later).
It was lovely to eat when I wanted, to craft without interruption and generally just please myself. David has been up in Edinburgh for three days - as we speak he is driving back down (last heard from 40 miles north of Birmingham).
I shall be pleased to see him.
Max for keeping me company and making me smile.
Kindle for letting me read cheap (and, I must admit, trashy novels!) at a click of my mouse. Haven't dared take it into the bath yet - that's where I do a lot of my reading - as some of you may remember I did actually drop a paperback into the water one day last year. Don't think insurance would cover me somehow.
The good news that David's job is safe as his company undergoes yet another "restructuring" - I think that's corporate speak for redundancies.
Strong coffee that helps me face the day - although the cup I've got now is a little too strong even for me (the packet was almost empty so I just tossed it all into my cafetiere for one - big mistake).
A Maze of Memories where Diane and I were at Scrap Club last Saturday morning (LO is in a previous post). We stayed to crop in the afternoon and I'll show you the results at the end of this post. Poor Pat was supposed to be with us but unfortunately is suffering her second bout of a nasty flu like bug. Get better soon partner in crime - I've had to take over crafty sales ordering on her behalf as well as my own - it's a hard job but someone's got to do it.
And that,as they say,is that for this week.

This double LO is for my little brother and was made using his old school photos. For some reason when we were at primary school the photos used to be taken just before Christmas and they would always be in a folder with a Christmas picture on it - I know ours were often sent out to relatives with the Christmas cards. I used papers by Bo Bunny (Winter Joy)  from the WeScrap December kit. Buttons and grommets/gromlets were from stash.

Good to hear that David's job is safe - I can't imagine how scary it must be when redundancy looms its ugly head. I'm with you on the coffee thing, girl! My family say I'm addicted, which I probably am because if I don't have my morning coffee (preferably Costas) I get such a headache. Caffeine withdrawal! That's such a cute LO - your brother looks/looked so gorgeous with a very cheeky smile. He'll love it. It's so interesting to see how children develop and school photos are a great way of marking the changes.

Max is Top Dog!

Thanks for dropping by my blog.

Have a great weekend, Sue.
