Behind with my crafting!!

Due to the lack of heating this week, I have been suffering & so has my art!!
My fingers are not very nimble when cold & I have not produced any work since Tuesday!
This is dreadful!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a pencil lines sketch I really wanted to do but right now the design is not "speaking" to me. I just can't find photos I want to use & I put it down to being cold & can't be bothered to think.
The new card dare will be up today & I'm hoping to get that made. I did make a card for someone which I can't share & until I can get to the Post Office (kinda stuck in waiting for boiler repair) the lady the card is destined for has not even received it yet!

I received in the post a fabulous mini project made by a lady I met on a forum, Diane Von Kesmark, & until my camera batteries are charged up I can't take a photo. She made a tiny mini book in a mouth freshener container. It is very small & cute & pics will be on here as & when.

On a good note, I did get my Aezine newsletter from Ali Edwards on Wednesday evening, & it is all about Creative Manifestos' & writing my own.
At first I thought, OMG, what!!! But, having re read the email & the prompt questions, I have let it run around my head a while & am coming up with something. I can't see me making a page layout or minibook about it but I can get started on short sentences. that said, who knows what the weekend will bring!!!
One thing is for certain I just can't see me making a page for the UKS House Challenge, this month as I can't gel a page together using a Nursery Rhyme, I don't even have any suitable papers & buying stash just to do a layout is not on the cards this year unless it is for a special person or occasion, cash is VERY tight this year!!!

Roll on home time, 3.30pm I am sooooooooo glad it is Friday!!!!

I'm terribly behind with everything Paula.... due to decorating the house. I am pining for my scraproom and don't know how I'll ever catch up with my a-z mini book, Ali's art journal or emily's cards - never mind anything else. I'm in great danger of missing a comp i wanted to enter, and know i'll never have time to do that now... ah well.... that's life eh?

Hope next week is warmer for you hunny!
