OK I admit it - I'm a bad blogger :(

after a month away, how can I possibly catch up? no idea really! lets just say we've been busy - Halloween, Fireworks, builders starting, builders demoslihing the walls on the ground floor, dust everywhere! chosing new cloakroom, new cooker, new kitchen units, trying to cope with constant mess (nothing new there then!) and then a cybercrop...

very busy! at some point I'll try and get some photos up to explain the building work, but until then {clearing throat and standing on soapbox} I have a small annoucement....

Manifesto: Noun. A declaration of one's intentions.

Starting Friday 1st December, I will keep a Christmas journal. In it, I will write something every day to reflect on the holidays of my past, enjoy the holidays of the present and dream about the holidays of my future.

To some, this will be a stack of papers and trivial scribbles, but not to me. I am taking back my Christmas, I am letting it be something I relish and, most importantly, I am giving at least fifteen minutes every day to myself no matter how crazy this season becomes. I hope you will share, encourage and understand as I make something with my own hands, my own words and my own memories.

I may post some or all of my entries here. Other artists are doing this with me, and you can see there work here.
