Well the nearest I have got to crafting this past week is opening the pack of diecuts my friend gave me.She is loving her "new" Cuttlebug which she acquired secondhand after chatting in a craft shop queue.
I had a great week last week with blessings falling from heaven left right and centre.
1) My son got A*AA for his A-levels and secured his place in Southampton University - NEXT MONTH! -Oh dear empty nester syndrome approaching fast...........
2) In Geocahing got a First To Find (FTF) with my son - treasuring these last days with him at home.
3) Took my son driving on the Motorway for the first time.
4) Impromptu meeting-up with 2 old school friends last Saturday not seen them for 14yrs/40yrs!
5) Played 2 good evenings of Badminton, loads of exercise.6) Volunteered at a Tea Dance, found a new dance school and went to a social last Friday and it was brill, so even more exercise.
7) Actually seem to be losing a bit of weight and have been sleeping marginally better too.Not doing so well this week, in fact I think this week has been cancelled! It'll pass and if I feel any better I can of course do some crafting.
Did get this lovely SWAP card on our theme of Gingham though, that will help me smile this week.

Morning BJ. MY word - blessings indeed! Many congratulations to your son Well done him. Driving on the motorway for the first time, too! Now THAT is scary stuff!!! Good to meet up with friends. I met all my college friends a couple of months ago - and it was just like we had never been apart. Dim panicio - as they say locally - you'll soon be crafting again.
Take care. God bless.

Hi BJ, wow, what a busy week! Well done to your son. Love the die cuts, all very pretty. Have a lovely week, Hugs, Shaz #7 XxX
Happy WOYWW. Congrats to your son - and also to you for taking him on the motorway for the first time. I had some motorway lessons with my driving instructor after passing my test - one of the best things I ever did, as I have had to drive on motorways a lot in my lifetime so far and it doesn't worry me at all. Gingham is a good theme. Will have to suggest it in our ATC swap group. Ali x #25
Big Congrats to your clever son Well done to him... Love the die cuts... you have had a very busy week catching up with old friends too looked like fun... Happy WOYWW... May #15
Hi BJ. Well done to your son on his fantastic results. You have had a busy and blessed week. I like the idea of motorway driving being allowed as part of learning to drive next year so I won't have to do it with mine. You must have nerves of steel (even post test). Happy WOYWW. Sarah #18
Hi BJ, You sure have been busy. I have to pace myself, otherwise I crash and burn.
It will be good when learners can go on the motorway with an instructor.
Happy WOWYY

well I saw a lot of what happened last week on FB and no wonder this week is quieter, even if not for the right reasons! At least Southampton isn't so far away - he'll be back with his washing regularly!! Helen #4
Wow, excellent results for your son! He'll have a wonderful time at Southampton but will be back with his washing, never you fear :-D. I'm envious of you going to dance classes, I'd love to but my hubby refuses :-/

Congratulations to your son - excellent results! It will be weird not having him around - hey, maybe you can convert his room into (another) craft room! Just kidding LOL. This is what I'm threatening my son with! Motorway driving freaks me out, but I may have to do it too when we move. Aaaaaahhhh! Sounds like you've been very active! It does make you feel better, doesn't it? Enjoy your week! zsuzsa #23
Wow - you've certainly had an exciting week! Well done to your son - you'll certainly miss him but time flies by and he'll be back home in no time at all!!

Sounds like you had a great week :) Have a wonderful weekend! xo Cheetarah WOYWW #34
Gosh! You have had a busy week and I must commend your son for his excellent A level results. You must have been so proud of him.
Go on enjoying the dancing and all the exercise you can - it works wonders for sleeping, or so I am told.
Hugs, Neet 10 xx
