Excuses excuses ! !

I have been a exceptionally bad blogger lately, I came back from my holiday re-charged and refreshed but I still seem to be so tired in the evenings that I am not getting much done.
At work we are very busy as everyone seems to have gone into Christmas shopping mode early this year and the queues of customers seem constant, not that i'm complaining at that, "keep them coming" I say.
I have been making cards but I am working my way through what I call my batch cards, many of you may remember that I decided not to make unique handmade cards for all of the relatives that we only see for births, deaths & weddings. I thought by doing this it would free up my time to make my individual family cards.
I am making the batches of cards from my two favourite Stampin up sets Snowflake spot & seasons of joy with Stampin up co-ordinated cardstock. Although they are a batch cards each is a very tiny bit different, but essentially they are the same design and its working I managed 20 cards over the weekend & I worked all day Saturday. So thats the reason I haven' had much to show for my efforts on my blog this last couple of weeks.
The other reason is Jamie Oliver keeps distracting me! well not the man himself but his new cookbook ministry of food, it's excellent and I have been trying a new recipie everynight, many are vegetable based so far and they do take a bit of time to prepare. Last night we had Homemade rolls with Sweet potato & Chorizo soup it was real winter food.
