Just a site meter - I love graphs!

I'm not getting my notifications of comments or community requests!

I've been to the post office today and posted all my cards and packages that are going overseas.

What's up with me! I must be ill! I'm a day earlier than the last post!!! *g*

Hopefully they will arrive at peoples homes this year and not get lost somewhere on this vast planet!!

Will you let me know when they arrive?

I'm now going to go and write my UK cards....

I've been really really busy these last few of days.

( Everything I've been up to, in an LJ cut, to save any F'list clog up! )

I really must do some college work and write my Christmas cards and do my Christmas shopping and tidy up the flat... and...and...and...

If anyone would like me to send them a Christmas card then PM me your address and I'll gladly send you one. Because of me moving house this year, I may need the people who sent me their addresses last year to send them again as I'm not sure where I've put them.

Its now 11.30pm and we have just finished papering the living room having started it at 11.30am!

The room looks very big now! I hadn't realised how much patterned paper makes a room look smaller! I've now just got plain white walls in a no-patterened blown vinyl.

I'll post before and after piccies when we've finished.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

I PASSED!

2nd Craft fayre done!

It went all right. I made about the same amount of money as yesterday but today I sold fewer but bigger items. I was sharing a table with a friend as the stalls were really expensive!! We were in a barn. The good news was that we set our stall up in the morning and around 10am the heavens opened and the roof above our heads had a masive hole in it which meant that our stall was being drenched!! We quickly reported it. The organisers apologised and offered to refund our money for the stall as well as move us to another stall. So we got it for NOWT!!! So that was extra money in both our pockets.

When I got home Steve was at my flat. He was cooking tea and had run a bath for me and half my living room wall paper had been stripped off!!!
Ahh! I do love him. Sometimes he can be really thoughtful. He's got this week off work so he's coming round tomorrow while I'm at college to strip the rest of the wall paper.

It's scary but really exciting doing my first bit of personaling the living room!!!

That's the first of my craft fayres done!

I did okay all in all. I made more money than I usually do at that one. I sold lots and lots of the little tea light holders for £1 each. I made enough money to cover the cost of all three stall, the £16 I owe a friend for a load of candles she bought me the other day and I still have £10 profit. That means that any money I make at the next two craft fayres is profit for me.

That money will go towards buying Christmas pressies!

Talking of Christmas I'm trying to be more organised with my cards this year after last years disaster.

If anyone would like me to send them a Christmas card then PM me your address and I'll gladly send you one. Because of me moving house this year, I may need the people who sent me their addresses last year to send them again as I'm not sure where I've put them.

Hopefully they will arrive by Christmas this year and not a month or so late!

Today I sat in the conservatory in the sunshine, listening to my music on my MP3 player while I painted my glasses and varnished the little tea-light holders.

This evening I've been to choir. It's been fun. The weather turned freezing cold and I didn't feel like going out but I'm really glad I went.

I'm going out with a couple of the women from the choir tomorrow night to meet up with the choirmaster and some others from the choir at a village pub for the start of the traditional singing of the local carols in the pubs.

*smirks* Tut tut, Jealousy jealousy that's all it is! - Tonight as well as slagging of the lovely Gareth Malone, the choir master had a go at my little Aled Jones too!! How dare he!!

I hope everyone in the US is having a good Thanksgiving Day x

I actually did a bit of writing this morning!

Not much... but I saw a Tribe prompt at comment_fic that I thought I could answer.

It's the first time I've written anything since Julyish!

I've been REALLY busy doing my glass painting again.

(for a past post describing what I do - http://itsjustc.livejournal.com/51530.html#cutid1)

So Yesterday and today I've been finishing the trimming part. They are all now ready for painting tomorrow. I'll then varnish them on Friday. Hopefully they will all be dry for Saturday when I've got my first craft fayre.

My three craft fayres this year have all fallen in the same week! Saturday 28th, Sunday 29th and Friday 4th. The one on Saturday is one I've done for many years. It isn't a really big earner but I enjoy it. It's at a school so I get a lot of children wanting to buy t-light candles which I sell for 5p! But the table is really cheap so I easily make my money and more.

The one on Sunday is a new one to me. It's at a well known, huge expensive Christmas fayre in a manor house in the countryside. The tables are twice as much as I will pay for a stall! I'm sharing it with a friend who sells luxury hand made chocolates. She rang me and said she wanted to do the craft fayre but couldn't afforda table and would I like to go halves with her. We are still on a cheap stall outside in a marque, in the cold, at the end of Nov when the weather man says it's going to turn frosty at the weekend!! I'll have to wrap up in my winter woolies!! I think I will either do really well and nearly sell out of stuff or I won't do well at all and not sell anything!!

Friday evening is another school I've done for a few years and it's one I do really well at. LOL! Last year I remember spending all night feeling really, really sick after having my first ever marshmellows on a stick dipped in the chocolate fountain! (they were on the next stall to me so I had to try one!) It was lurvly but I must try and resist this year.

I found somewhere online to watch Dollhouse so I've watched the first ep. and will watch more when I have time. I also watched Harry Potter Goblet of Fire late last night. I think I'm enjoying the films more as the actors get older.

Went to college this afternoon and filmed my assessment again.

2nd attempt!

I think I've improved on last time. I tried to remember to correct all the mistakes I'd made before. I remembered to ask questions and I responded to her questions. I added more facts and figures into it and signed more vocabulary. I think the teachers criticism will be about my fluency and my speed again but ah well... I tried!

My signing partner has a new account dana_longoria If you would like to friend her she would be pleased. BSL is her first language but she is learning English and would appreciate the chance to practice her writing skills. She may not write very often but she wants to give it a go.

I walked up to church this morning (a mile) to see how my ankle felt and it was fine. That's the longest distance I've walked since I sprained it two weeks ago. Then this afternoon Steve and I went to the city centre to the continental market, festival and turning on of the Christmas lights. It was a lovely afternoon but it got really crowded at about 3pm so we left and came home.

By the time I got home my ankle felt tender but it has not hurt me this evening so it must be okay.

Yesterday this bloke, who I've known for years but don't really feel that comfortable with, saw me walking towards my new flat. He'd asked me about two months ago if I'd moved and I lied and said I hadn't but I think he might guess I have, so just in case he decides to investigate I've put up some net curtains today.

It's been a busy day!
