I have had a week off work from 24th Oct until today and I went away to visit my sister, Tracy in Newcastle for a very long weekend. Bless her, she had got Swine Flu and despite nasty hallucinations from the Tamiflu drugs, she looked a lot better by the time I got up there and we had an amazing girly time together. I had the pleasure of relaxing, listening to the sound of silence interupted only now & then by the sound of cash tills as we shopped. :) :) Once I got back home I decided on a total break & spent my hours home making. I love burning scented candles while reading in a corner wrapped in fleecy blankets. I find it the only way to truly recharge my batteries. The home making bit was defrosting the freezer & cooking to fill it up for the winter months ahead.
I took some lovely photos while up at Tracy's and this one of the hens waltzing into the house to see what she was doing just begged to be scrapped.

I love the sound of reading, fleecy blankets and candles, sounds pure bliss.
Love the LO. That flowery paper is gorgeous.

What a great photo! I can see why it was 'begging' to be scrapped :)
How lovely your break sounds. I'm so glad you were able to do that. It's so refreshing to finally take a break.
I'm just loving your layouts. Congratulations on the DT spot, by the way!
I am so glad you had a lovely time paula, sound like pure bliss. I am a tad jealous!!
