Good morning Everyone
Well the day has finally come.. .. .. today I finish the job I have been doing for nearly three years .. .. .. and tomorrow I start my own adventure.
Today is going to be tough. I am useless at "goodbyes" so always opt for "I see you when I do" so that I don't get that big lump in my throat and that tell-tale "filling up of the eyes"!!!
But it will be "I'll see you again" because the people I have been working for and with have become very good friends outside of work - which is great - and after work tonight we are having a little celebration to mark the end of one era and the beginning of another.
Oh I do feel funny!! My tum is turning somersaults at the thought and I am slightly in panic mode .. .. but I am sure all will turn out fine once I get up and running properly.
Anyway none of my dream can possibly come true without the backing and blessing of my fantastic hubby - so to say thank you I wanted to make him a special card. The problem is it isn't quite special enough yet... .. ... so you can just have a little look at the current state of play!!
I am using some really special papers that I got free with a magazine years ago but haven't been able to use because I love them too much.. .. .. but it feels just right to use them now.
I want my hubby to know how much I appreciate everything and hopefully my creation will show that. Depending on what time I get home tonight I may finish it then - or alternatively I will start my new life tomorrow morning by finishing it then.
How appropriate it would be to start doing what you want to do most in life by saying "thank you" to the person who has made it all possible. Oh I am a soppy old thing!!!
Anyways, here is the "work in progress"

You will see the rest tomorrow .. .. when I am finally happy with the end result.
I will give you an up-date tomorrow on how today went. I know it is going to involve me raiding the shop for cream cakes at some part in the proceedings - and having a little drink after work.
Take care everyone and don't forget to go and vote .. .. .. if you haven't already done a postal one that is!!!!!
Love Jules xx

I'm sure your last day in this job is going to be a lovely one and how nice that your are now friends so will still keep in touch. My friend and ex boss (I retired exactly a year ago) popped round to see me last night and it's so lovely to play catch-up for an hour or two.
ReplyDeleteI'm positive with your skill and talent your adventure is going to be a very successful one. Enjoy it all my friend!
Hugs

Good luck and I hope everything works out for you. Thanks for the reminder about voting ... haven't been yet ... to be honest I'm not really into politics but I've been lecturing my son 'lucky to live in a democracy - don't waste your vote' so I suppose I'd better get down there and make my mark.
