Things are getting back to everyday life, not to say I am not still bursting into tears, whenever I find a toy or think I see Casey out of the corner of my eye, but I am as usual coping.

I have found over 600 photo's of my boy, I am so pleased that I snapped him at every opportunity, unfortunatley the only ones I have of him and I are the self taken ones I took of him on our last day, as usual I seem to be always behind the camera.

I have found a book and am now sorting papers and embellishments to do justice to my memory book of Casey.

I hate winter, I hate the dark nights the wet and cold and it seems to change everyone's mood, although I love Christmas, mind you this years will be strange but my 10 year old still believes, or kind of believes so we will have a lovely time.

A couple of weeks ago I made what I named a 'mish mash' book and it was the first creative thing I had done for a long time, so I was really pleased with myself.

I did show people and they said they liked it so I have now put it on sale in the shop and it is going really well. The papers in the book are Basic Grey Granola, chipboard shapes and stickers, you gotta just love BG !!!! LOL

I also made 40 Halloween bags for Connor's cub group, which I will put up a photo for later.

I have been busy trying not to order new stock, but there are such scrummy things out there at the moment that it is hard, I do have some gorgeous Teressa Collins papers and BIA covers coming soon, and need to get some more 'pink' BIA's as they just flew out.

I am really into Prima at the moment, their embossed books, and new Lollipop flowers are just scrummy.

Our last all day crop this year is December 13th, and I am looking forward to this one, I have lots of things planned including a Raffle and more challenges, lots of Christmas music, and Christmas hats etc

Of course we have our Christmas Tuesday crop which we do a secret, non scrapping Santa, and Santa sometimes brings the presents!!!!

Oh well the beginning of another week, it is cold wet and miserable and I so wanted to crawl back under my duvet this morning, especially as Connor was playing at being ill, but I had to remind myself that I am a responsible adult and mother, so was very firm and got him to school for 8am.

It is not right that school should start at 8am, but our school in their 'wisdom' decided to move the Gymnastics club to 8am on a Monday!! So we dragged ourselves out of bed!!!
