Last part of New Beginnings

Hey, good morning :)
I was up early this morning after I passed out watching a movie on TV last night ....sign of getting old???
Woke up to the voice of Reggie and had a couple of nice hours with him on Skype. "Sigh" I miss that man ! -Sure , Skype is great ....but nothing beats being actually together in person.

Yesterday I also started my spring cleaning. It will be Imbolc on the 2nd of Feb. so while I'm off work on rota break is the perfect time to get it done. And two people smoking in this place ....oh boy, you should have seen the crap coming off the picture frames when I wiped over them !

It's also a good way of getting rid of more items I don't really need or use anymore. Let's face it....I can't take all the stuff with me. So the more I can get rid of  from now until the time to move comes , the better ! I still have approx. 200 books to go from my shelves ... and other things....I just really have to be tough on myself. Anything not used in 2 years I am not likely to use or need again .... it has to go ! And no more buying new clutter ! -let's face it, everything now is geared towards that final step.

Somebody asked me whether I am not scared or nervous to make such a big move. Not yet, but I will be.The interviews and the process at the Embassy and then waiting for the papers won't be fun. I will be giving up a bloody good job here , my flat and leaving my son and beloved cats behind  to make a completely new start in a new place.I have to adjust, find a new job and no doubt will learn a lot of new things. Of cause that's scary! But I also know it will be worth every penny and step towards finally being with Reggie for good, no matter how long it takes. 

It is also almost time to plant new seeds....I am prepared ! Website update: both other Girls are jumping on board, we got the site where we will sign up for server space .... now it's time to find a name. I need a name before I can go ahead.For making the graphics (header) and Domain name. So that's something to be thought about and discussed now. But no hurry ...all good things take time.

In the meantime I carry on building up stock. Here another 2 qps from yet another new kit I am working on.

So here is now the final part of "A new Beginning"

Next freebie parts ...a few days earlier

Good morning,
hope you're all staying warm.....it's freezing here and we have 6 inches of snow forecasted for the next days. So far we have been lucky, it's been snowing a lot, but it didn't stay for long.
I'm starting early shifts again tomorrow and knowing myself I will be too tired to post after this when I come home. So I'm putting them up for you now.
I also have been busy with some more crafting and creating layouts. I just love how this one turned out,lol.

These were made with the designs I made in NC

 As for crafting , I'm working on another hybrid project, and some Valentines surprises which I obviously can't show yet. But here is something else. Think that cans and bottles are just trash? Think again !

 Decorated they actually make great vases and candle holders.
And this is my hybrid project.I made rosettes out of strips of burlap....

.... cut a heart out of cardboard from an old box, covered it in a scrap of fabric , added ribbon,feathers and other decorations....

...voila.... I still want to add one of my favourite quotes on a label to this.

But now to the freebie parts-here the next two for you....one more next week.

I have also been searching for affordable web space and found a site which looks ideal .... still in talks with two others , but I hope they jump on board. That doesn't mean there won't be any freebies anymore.That will continue , but we have to live as well and we all can do with a few extra pennies these days. I can promise this, the prices for new designs will be kept low and affordable. We do not want to rob anyone in these hard times,lol. And there will also be plenty of designer resources.
I can't give a date yet.... it's early days, but the first steps have been taken towards this plan. More when I know more, and time to build up more new design stock .... Until then ....
Hugs Snowy

Back to the old routine

Hello from the UK again.
I'm trying to get back into my old routine , but my body is still functioning on EST time. Today I woke up at 11.30 am,lol.
But that suits me fine as I am working nights this weekend.
So.....what went on since my last post?
Reggie took me to Greensboro Airport last Sunday where I took a very short flight to Charlotte. Saying "good bye " is never nice , so Reggie says "see you in 20 minutes" to distract from the fact that it will be a long time,lol.
My FB friend LaNita picked me up in Charlotte and I stayed at hers over night in Kanapolis, as my connecting flight didn't leave until around 6 pm on Monday. So we had the day together and 4 of us a lovely breakfast at Cracker Barrel in the morning. The first time I had Grits , by the way. That's Nita on the right.

Then the flight back to London over night-oh boy ! It's cold here ! Hard to believe I sat on Reggie's porch in the sun wearing just a thin top last week!
Tuesday was cleaning day ..... son home alone for 3 weeks and this place was in desperate need of it again,lol.I had to banish the dust devil !

Shaun got presents from Reggie which caused a giggle.

Not to mention the Chick-o-sticks, MoonPies and Summer sausage I brought back and which Shaun loves -damn, that means less for me ;)
Yesterday was my first day back at work and it's back to the old routine.
I got my craft supplies out as well and the result was another Dreamcatcher , which I made for Nita.

I have these two nights to work , then I will be on rota break again and hopefully have some time to scrap some of the pics I took in NC.
But I promised another freebie, so I dug out "New Beginnings " for the start of the New Year.
Here the first two links
