Gothic Arch challenge - Domestic Goddess

I couldn't miss this weeks challenge over at the Gothic Arch Challenge blog and my arch is a little bit tongue in cheek, cos a Domestic Goddess is one of the things I definitely am not....rofl I do my chores only when I have to... long gone are the days when housework took precedence over anything else in my life. (I DID used to be a cleaning freak before DD grew up!!) I have learned that no matter how much housework you do there is always more waiting for you... so I give myself permission to do it only when I want to :D I am generally quite tidy though so the house never looks too messy... well unless I'm crafting with paper that is... then blimey it's a whole different story!! I don't bake cakes either... no matter what you see on the picture...rofl

Have a fab weekend

Time flies when you're having fun....

except tis not much fun decorating the Christmas Tree 3 times and still not liking it. I have always loved doing my tree but for some reason this year mine just looks naff and the more I take it apart and re-do it... the naffer it looks...lol Seems I have lost me touch!!

I am sick of the sight of baubles and tinsel but with only just over a week to go before the big man comes I am going to leave my tree alone and concentrate on getting everything else sorted. How come time runs out so quickly at this time of year... not enough time but sooooo much to do.

I haven't even made ONE Christmas card this year and it shames me to say I have bought some...oooooooer how bad is that. I'm still unpacking stuff since my move and I have to empty the room that is to be DG's so that his Crimbo pressie will fit in, and it is proving to be a mammoth task as I haven't enough cupboard space to put everything!!! Anyone got any spare cupboards...lol
Not much crafting going on at the moment but I will leave you with another doodle page... says a lot about me eh :D

Unlock your emotions...

and set the caged bird free. Something I'm really good at 'specially when I'm under the influence of the big D which thankfully I'm not at the moment :D I can cry at the drop of a hat... and I don't know about you but I'm good at torturing myself by watching weepy movies too. There's nowt like a good blubber especially at Little House on the Prairie. I remember watching that program every weekend and me and my Mam and sisters used to be wrecks...lol Dad would stand with his hankie in his outstretched hand tutting at us for the tears that ran down our cheeks. Men!! They just haven't got a clue.... how good it is to have a good weep...lol So my caged bird is regularly set free... how about yours... are you a serial weeper too :D

Eye spy wif my lickle eye.....

something beginning with S................................................................
Skinny.... which is what I would be if this hand of mine didn't keep lifting biscuits and sweeties and putting them in my mouth...lol
Heaven help me.... and Christmas just around the corner... A girl doesn't stand a chance does she!!
I wish I had a £ for everytime I've wished I could lose a lb mmmmmmmm but then I'd probably just spend it on more sweeties... so maybe not :D
Have a great weekend all
