Hi Everyone
Happy Sunday!
I hope you have all had a good week .. .. and if not that the coming week is going to be much better for you!
Another new years resolution is coming into play today .. .. which is to get back to taking part in Pixie's Snippets Playground Challenge in an effort to cull some of my snippets .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
I have rather fell by the wayside and ashamedly hardly visited the playground at all last year (sorry Miss Di) .. .. in fact my posting in general suffered last year. But to be fair it was a very unusual year with Mum being so poorly and the whole dynamics and priorities of my life changed. But thankfully things seem to have now settled into a routine and provided Mum continues to behave herself things should be good going forward.
AGAIN!

I find it hard to believe that Di has been admirably in charge of the Playground for 7 years (renamed to Pixie's Snippets Playground). It only seems like yesterday I handed the keys over .. .. as you will read in my very last snippet post here
It all started as a new years resolution in January 2011 when I began my own personal mission to just use "leftovers" on a Sunday and I gave myself the challenge of doing this for a whole year. Little knowing how it would take off and be enjoyed by so many of you lovely blog buddies who played along. No Mr Linky for me then .. .. I would link to everyone's entries within my blog post. Oh .. .. I remember it well. It took me ages some weeks LOL!!!
Mr Linky more than likely existed .. .. but I would probably have been too frightened to try and use it in those days.

Di has really worked wonders with the challenge and has made it far more fun and interesting than I could ever have done. She is a true wonder and has built up a lovely band of playground followers .. .. and is still finding new ones participating into the challenge most weeks!
I revealed the extent of my "snippets" at the start of my mission in 2011 and must admit by the end of the year they looked much more impressive. But oh my word!!! If you saw my snippets now .. .. .. well I am sure I would die of embarrassment.
The challenge with Di is fortnightly but I am still going to "try" and post every Sunday .. .. one week entering the challenge and the other week just making with snippets .. .. just because I need to.
So here we go with this week's effort .. .. .. designed for Valentine's Day
the insert will simply say "Always" .. .. "With my love on Valentine's Day".
As before I am still going to be lazy on a Sunday and not list my ingredients .. .. but if there is anything you want to know then please just shout and I will do my best to help.
Before I go though I would sincerely like to thank Di for all of her hard work over the past seven years .. .. and for being so brave in taking the challenge on. You have been .. . and still are .. an absolute star!!!
