The Simple Things

I saw this challenge over at Amy’s place and thought I would join in. Thank you Amy. Then Amy sent me here. Thank you Rebecca.

I loved doing my October Photos and I miss it even though it was tough to post every day, this should be easier, just once a week!
This is my photo for this week.
Simple Things

Simple slippers
Warm and dotty
Make me happy
Like my friend who gave them to me x

Yes, I used them on a True Stories post but as I have them on today, and I am wearing the same skirt! I think that’s reason enough to use the photo again:)

Hospital

Just to say thank you all for your lovely thoughts and good wishes for my hospital appointment which is tomorrow.
I have to be in Bristol at the crack of sparrows in the morning, so I am having an early night. No more blogging!
I am very nervous even though I know it will be OK and I am very sensible (!) and “Oh it will be OK” is what everyone says to me, constantly.
I am only in for the day, I have to have a few days off driving and housework so my boys will be free to spoil me, Oh, for at least three days!
I am taking thoughts of you all with me. x

I saw this yesterday and thought it was so pretty.

Christmas Boxes.

Mel’s Brilliant Tutorial

Today Mel has a tutorial on her blog for some lovely Christmas boxes. Years ago I made lots of these to put sweets in for the folks at our local Day Centre. I decorated mine with pictures cut from old Christmas cards, but the reason I want to post my (not very good photos, sorry!) is to show you that you can make the same box, slightly different shape, from last years Christmas cards. That is if you have any left from making your Advent Book!

November Currents

I found this over here.

This is mine for November. I try to do just one at the beginning of the month except for October when I forgot!!
It’s another list, I love lists.x

listening: to the wind chimes at my open window
eating: nothing, waiting for breakfast
drinking: water
wearing: Paul’s dressing gown
feeling: good
weather: bright, sunny, chilly, beautiful
wanting: nothing
thinking: about my hospital appointment this week
enjoying: blogging
wondering: why I missed October’s currents!

NaNoJouMo

National Nonstop Jounaling Month

I am playing along with NaNoJouMo but as I have no crafting stuff available at the moment and I am doing Shimelle’s True Stories I thought I would make a kind of crossword with the daily word and its definition.
I have written them out each day in the back of my journal and will (one day) do something with them.
For the moment I wanted to try the first 5 days as a Wordle (thanks Mel for the inspiration)
