BLOG BREAK OVER!!

Hi Everyone

I am back!!!

My blog break is over .. .. and boy has a lot happened in the last two weeks whilst I have been banned from blogland!!

I have certainly missed seeing everyone's lovely creations and catching up with all the news and happenings that's for sure. 

The hardest part was the first two or three days .. .. but then once I got stuck into my mammoth "do list" I was OK.

When I instigated my two week ban I really thought I would be back a little earlier than this .. but even now can you believe my do list is as big as ever .. .. even though I have crossed a mountain of things off it.

I very stupidly thought my break would also give me chance to make a stack of creations for posting to my blog .. .. but no!  That never happened :-(

So what DID the last two weeks entailed in the House of Hearts?

Well:

• Three of my "happy couples" got married and I got to see two of the bride and grooms in their wedding outfits.  Bless!!
• A mountain of card orders done and dusted.
• Another lovely magazine commission completed and posted off.
• Loads, and loads and loads of wedding work.
• A trip to stock up on ribbon
• Hubby has been at home for some of the time so I joined him in the garden between downpours of rain and we have got on top of that.  We have our first cucumber and pepper making an appearance and my very pale skin might have even changed colour a little LOL!!
• Hanging baskets and pots all planted up.
• Lots of admin work completed including a foolproof workbook to keep me on track with orders and deadlines.
• Plus .. .. ..  most importantly .. .. .. special time with hubby.
• Then today .. .. my car passed its MOT .. .. yay!!!!

What a happy bunny I am.

So that is me and my busy two weeks .. .. ..   and now I am back with my share for today.

How weird that as I started my blog break I had done a week of red, white and blue .. .. .. and then I find today that the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday is red, white and blue.

This used:

Image:  Penny Black "4065K" Bountiful
Sentiment:  DoCrafts "With Love"
Backing papers:  Papermania "Portobello Road" (yes, my pack is still going strong)
ProMarkers
White Gel Pen
Ribbon and pearls from the Stash Box

I followed the sketch from Sketch Saturday so am also going to enter my creation into their challenge this week too.

This was the lovely sketch.

Thank goodness I haven't forgotten how to post to my blog!!  LOL!!

We have caught up on lots of cooking programmes we have recorded and Hubby now has grand ideas of cooking some recipes he has spied.  He has been buying herb plants for the garden and to start off the first of his "things I want to try" list he is just about to try his hand at making some bread.  I am looking forward to the smell of that and munching on it later!!!

I am on quiche duty (we make loads and freeze them for quick dinners in the future), a bath and then .. .. a good old catch up in blogland to see what everyone has been up to.  Woo hoo!!!

I have missed you all!!

See you later

Love
