A long awaited arrival

Theyre finally here, im sure someone out there will know what i mean when you order something and its delayed for whatever reason and youre just sat there patiently waiting for something to turn up, and you sit and wait but deep down youre really fed up but because theres a good reason for the delay you cant shout and stamp your feet and demand a solution, well you could but i doubt it would get you anywhere.

the easel cards shown here are from an order made 2 months ago, logistics held everything up, but i dont blame the company i bought it from, i adore the new cards, the toppers are a whole different matter, not only are they an early birthday gift from my boys, but i only ordered them on monday, and they arrived bright and early yesterday, and im already really happy with them, and this is just a small selection of what is available.

The red and black card has a little bit missing, i plan to add a photograph to the front too, its of my friend who sadly passed away recently, what better way to honour her than with a photo on a pretty easel to keep forever, will also be adding her to my mini photo scrap book that was made for me, 

am spending my day relaxing, have an awful cold, and feel shattered, need to sort so much out but have a severe lack of energy, and motivation its like someone walked up to me and pulled the plug out, and i am slowly draining my batteries down, unlike most people who seem to be on charge constantly, something i actually miss about who i used to be, on down days i could just take an hour nap and be full of energy again, now i take a little nap and whatever energy i had before is still there or lower, which i still dont understand really. 

it doesnt make sense to constantly feel like i need to sleep even if i have a good night, which in reality means only waking up 3 or 4 times in the night or getting more than 3 hours in one go of sleep. 

so what plans are there for today well other than using the other die set i got yesterday, which i might add has only been cut to show someone else and for someone else, it matches well with the easel die, but im not sure what i am going to do with it, but i do know there will be lots of sparkles coming as a brand new bundle of sparkle pens arrived on my mat today, its so nice to have goodies to play with, just wish they didnt cost so much, 

Have a great day and hopefully some more pretty things will appear later, have some amazing Remembrance day things coming in a few weeks, but this time it wont be my hard work, i will be working with some amazing little ones, i already know it will drain me for weeks but it is so worth it, especially when you get to work with the same little ones more than once in a year, they remember and get very excited when they see you arrive in class, just wish there was some way to turn it into a career, but sadly i wouldnt be able to work enough hours to make it viable
