Out with the old in with the new……..

So this week is the NEC, that lovely crazy 4 days of craft. My sister and i will be working together demonstrating on the craft central stand. Its a change from what im used to, but they do say a change is as good as a rest. Im very excited to be back in the thick of things creating and getting back on the saddle. Swing by and say hi if your passing itll be good to see some familiar faces.

Im now spending my days with a wonderful man who gets me for me and really doesnt want to change me. Jamie has made me believe in love again.  Im now part of a family and im putting down roots. Im not searching anymore for that elusive feeling of belonging. You can spend many years being part of a family and feeling alone. At last i feel apart of something special.

For everyone who knows me, everything that i said for so long that i didnt want is exactly what i want. Who would have thought 6 months ago youd find me cooking dinner, reading bedtime stories and doing the school run. But im the happiest ive been in years. Who knows what the future holds.

One of my best friends sent this message in a card and it just so true.

Dont let yesterday take up too much of today.

Look forward never look back, you never know whats around the corner. You have to love like its forever otherwise whats the point. A lifetime happens only once take everything as it comes and hold onto the little things because eventually they become the big things.

Im getting ready for CHA and with that comes alot of kit packing and perhaps a bit of stressing but hey its rubber stamping so its all good. Lots of things to be getting on with. Luckily CHA this year is in Feb so we have a little bit more time. I love the buzz of the show and meeting lots of creative people. I love my job and i love my life.

I think that 2008 is going to be the best year ever……

ta ta for now
