Stocking Swap Reveal

What seems like an age ago now I signed up to take part in Beki's 'Stocking Swap'.
I received my fantastic package from Sarah at Dotty Daisies some time ago now and Sarah received hers last week so I can reveal both packages in one post!

First look at the fab gifts I received from the very talented Sarah!




WOW!

A beautiful handmade stocking, some lovely toiletries, some lush smelling Yankee Candle goodies, 2 of Sarah's amazing handmade brooches, a gorgeous felt and button, heart keyring, a much lusted after wreath decoration, a fab Christmas pudding decoration, some pretty badge magnets that spell out the word 'dream' and an equally pretty badge mirror.

Also Sarah added a gorgeous handmade card and a needle felting set so I could have a go myself!
I'm very much looking forward to trying this out, watch this space for the results!

I'm sure Sarah sent me everything I had admired on her blog! I love everything!
A big thank you to a fab partner!!!


Here's what I sent Sarah!


As you guys know by now I do tend to get carried away with these things! I included some craft supplies, some decorations and some pretty practical bits, and, great minds and all that, some Yankee goodies!!

I loved taking part in this swap, what a great idea! Big thanks to the fabulous Beki for organising it!

Lots of Love

Time Flies!!!!

Wow where has the time gone?
I have been so busy, having gotten seriously behind because of the dreaded flu!
I am slightly scared at how much I have to catch up with in Blogland, please bear with me! I will be visiting you all!

I have so much to tell you about too, decorations, Christmas plans and fun and lots and lots of swap news!

Just thought I'd say a quick hello before I spent the next few hours blog hopping xxx

Weght Loss Wednesday - A Change is as Good as a Rest

Hi Ladies, Its that time again! Weight Loss Wednesday is hosted by Jennifer at Rosey Little things! (click on the button to link to Jennifer's blog for a list of participants)

This week, as you know, I have been poorly which gave me allot of time for reflection!
I have been struggling following the slimming world plan recently, while it is a brilliant diet it just doesn't fit in with my life as it is at the moment. I find it really hard to stick to the plan when going out and sometimes with my shift work I just can't plan for every eventuality!

I have decided that rather than struggle needlessly and feel like I am failing I would change tact and start to follow the Weight Watchers points plan that so many of my friends follow with great success.

I like the fact that the Weight Watchers plan will give me greater freedom to fit my eating plan in to my lifestyle, I have already been following the points plan for a couple of days and feel far happier that I can maintian this way of eating even when life throws me a curve ball!

I have my points calculator and a notebook to keep track of my eating and am armed with all of Victoria's hints and tips! I'm lucky that I have my buddy to share my successes (and blips!) with so will be weighing on a thursday (the same day as Victoria!)

Wish me luck!

Feeling allot better now and am back to work tomorrow morning!
I have loads to catch up on and will be round to visit you all soon xxx

Lots of Love

Legal Eagle!

Victoria recently lent me her Ally McBeal DVD collection, which I am working my way through rapidly being confined to the house on my own! I remember some from watching the series originally but am loving it none the less!

Feeling a bit better now and hoping to improve over the weekend, only one more day of Tamiflu to take!

What are you watching at the moment?

Lots of Love

Miss Piggy

Hi Ladies sorry for going all quiet on you, I mentioned last Wednesday that I was feeling unwell and things went from bad to worse. I finally gave in yesterday and it would appear I have gone all Miss Piggy on you!

Obviously not looking as good as this!

Now have the antiviral medication so hoping to feel better soon!

Lots of Love

It's Weight Loss Wednesday again girls!

Sorry for the lateness (and shortness) of this post. Been feeling a bit under the weather and have only just managed to pull myself together!

So quickly! Lost 1lb (still feels like a million to go!)

I'm loving Victoria's posts each week and even though she is my friend and I have heard her advice many times, somehow seeing it in black and white makes it seem all the more sensible! Thank you Victoria!

I promise next week's post will be a little more inspiring!

Lots of Love

Dear Santa.....

I have been thinking about what I would like for Christmas, I have been a good girl (mostly!) and thought I would give you a few pointers as to what I would just love to find under my tree this year!


Are you sitting comfortably? Then I'll begin.......
I need this yummy perfume, not only has it got my name but I have tried it and it smells like it was made for me too!


A girl can never have too many bags, and I have decided I neeeeeed this one by Mulberry, pretty please?

I also need some Louboutins, need you understand Santa! Look at the pretty red soles! (Very Prive pumps please!)


A lifetime supply of Lola's cupcakes (calories removed please!!)



Some new wheels?



A Holiday Here:


With him


Or him


Where he will buy me something sparkly in a little, blue box (well diamonds are a girl's best friend!)

Thank you in advance :)

Lots of Love
