Dingle Dangle Dongle!!!!

Sorry I seem to now be having Dongle issues!!! Got a Vodafone Dongle but it is so slow that it takes about 20 mins to load up a page. Hence I still have no cards on here!! I can't get into my emails either so if anyone has sent me one I apologise for not replying but it just doesn't like AOL!!!!! Also went to my Dads to use his computer instead but he broke it the other day!! Silly cookie that he is. SO no computers!!!
I hope you are all well and creating .
Anyway off now to get on with today
Love and Big Hugs Missing Ya all, Hazelxoxox

Stressed, Who ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hiya,
Just a quick email while I am over at Alans house since I don't have a land line or computer at the other one.
As you know Alan and I were separating and the date for leaving was to be 16 Nov, so on Thursday the Housing Officer from our Local Council came round to assess me. I was then told I would have to move to temp "Homeless" accommodation then or nothing at all as they could not guarantee me any on the above date. So I had to move over the weekend!! So to take an agoraphobic totally out of her safe place has been very hard (Did think I was gonna get locked up on Sunday!!!LOL) and also the kids are just so unsettled by it all. Also I feel really stigmatised by the homeless thing as I feel really saddened that here I am homeless while he has a house his home comforts!! Its a bit galling but I am just gonna have to live with it!
I am looking into getting with the 21st Century and getting a Dongle as the house I am in I am not allowed a landline so am really missing the contact I have through the internet. It keeps me going. I am over here today to move my crafty bits over so hope to be playing with them again soon!! Any ATC's being sent to me will still arrive as Alan is my Postman now as he brings it over in the morning, lets hope he doesn't go on strike!LOL

Love and Huggys Hazel xoxox

Its a shame as I enter it every week. :-((( I have used my stamp I received last week from Caz over at it for winning the September Draw. Its a Greetings Farm Image and I think she is so sweet. Thanks again Girls.xo

Fabs Big Christmas Card Challenge - Baubles!
Believe it or not this took me longer to dot hat the ATC above it with its cutting out but I used co-ordination Peel Offs and filled in the blacks with the silver peel off spares so it took a while and a lot of concentration!!! Although its simple it is stunning!
Recipe

  • Peel Offs from Francoise Read by Woodware
  • Ribbon From Stash

Well I will be back later with my Moving Along with the Times thing for this week and also some ATCs from a swap I run. Hope you are all having a Fabby Thursday.

Magical Crafts Challenge DT Call!!!!!

Over on The Magical Crafts Challenge Blog Angel is looking for a Wonderful Crafty Peep to join in with her Design Team. Here is what she has to say!
"Hi Peeps...
Welcome to my new fortnightly challenge blog.I am offering a DT position for one lucky person to join me and my DT Team, we are a very friendly bunch, (OK MAD bunch)... :0P... but going to have great fun and laughter along the way.To apply all we expect is, once a fortnight is create a project set for the challenge, there is no rules that you have to use any certain images or papers here, just go for it and have fun, to visit each blog from the people who have entered the challenge and leave encouraging comments, after all it can be daunting when you enter a challenge and get no feed back, along the way you will be asked to set a challenge, also there will be prizes, but on the odd occasion, we may ask you to donate your project for the prize.
HOW DOES THAT SOUND!!!!!!"

So what you waiting for!!!!

Pop ovwer and put your name down!

No Card Today :-(((

Hiya,
Just thought I would give you a wee update on how my Granny is.
The bigger dose of antibiotics has kicked in and her leg is not as red or swollen. She is still finding it really hard to weight bear on it but feels it is a bitty better. She is eating again and thinks she will be fine by the weekend! I know she is not well though as she postponed the hairdressers this am and she always goes there!!! Thanks so much for all your kind words about her! You are all so wonderful.
I am not posting any cards today as the boys have taken the camera to Glasgow to the Doctor Who Exhibition. I have peace for the day so that's nice. I am off to complete(I hope) my project for Moving Along With the Times this week. So that will take up a big part of the day.
Also going to think about starting to pack things up for my big move!!!! I really don't want to think about it but it is about 5 weeks now so just have to be brave and not get upset. Its such a hard time for both of us and the boys but I'm sure we will get there, just wish I knew where I was going too as I hate not knowing!
Anyway enough moaning
Have a fabby Tuesday All
Hazelxoxo
