Rest assured

I think the term "less is more" applies to everything we do whether we think we could do it more often than not despite the consequences.

Does that makes sense?

How I loved being on the road last week and how I hated packing and unpacking too. Neither supplied a gentle equilibrium. In the end I just needed to get home to my tribe and have freshly laundered clothes that didn't need ironing with a non steam iron!

But Friday night came and so did the bank holiday traffic so I opted to stay an extra night in Lingfield because butt cramp and zero air con is hardly the height of "having a laugh". In fact, its the depths of the doldrums and I would have been on the kill come getting home at 3am.

So I get home, eventually, at Saturday lunchtime and almost immediately cracked on with millions of projects before flying out of the door to my Momma's house to celebrate my bro's birthday. My sweet DH had washed all my clothes, line dried them and within 4 hours of being back - all was done. I suppose working with all that yummy Doodlebug and BG all week had intensified my creative juices...... thankfully. I was a very happy momma.

The pooch went berserk when he saw me come home and belle was relieved that I was safe and sound.....so in comparison to getting a mass of work done, being away from home for 6 nights and stressing out over drivers boredom, my babies (Ellie and Eddy) totally lifted me out of my funk.

I have my Studio Calico sneaks on hand for you to have a gander at. The kit goes live on the break of the 28th of May at midnight (EST) or 5am uk time. This kit has so many wonderful papers this month and the colours are brilliant for both boys and girls.

I forgot to mention a free download that you can get for your cards at Crafts Beautiful. I made a ton of backing papers and embellies to cut and keep over HERE (you will have to register for free, though). Simply entitled Fizzy Woo ( geared towards the man in your life) you can grab the A5 sized projects for emergency cards or small digi projects.
And lastly, I wanted to share two little pics that make me happy being at home at my momma's. These types of country lanes make me happy and that road there is very hilly bumpy that makes my Belle giggle with delight as I fly over them. I can't wait to take her up to the rapeseed field later to take a couple of snaps.And Momma's wisteria is just the best. I cannot wait for our pergola to be built so I can have these adorning it over the next few years. Mum has cut a few clippings for me so that I can recreate the wisteria magic. I'm also dying to intertwine some honeysuckle too. And as its a stunningly sunny day, I'm off out with my parents, my bro and his wife Kerry and my tribe to soak it all up before the darn rains comes tomorrow.Toodle ooooooooooooo xxx
