Its been a while........... well nearly 2 years to the day; but I've been feeling the urge to return to blogging for a while now, I hope you'll have me back? I've been having a look around blogland this week and I'm very pleased to see some of my old favourite blogs are still going strong, but sadly a lot are no longer around :o(
It's been a task just to get this first post done. Blogger has changed so much since I last blogged, and I'm not particularly technically minded lol. Having a hum dinger of a head cold isn't helping my concentration levels either :o(
I managed to find a little energy earlier to prepare a beef stew for the stock pot and rustled up a yummy apple and almond cake, in my new highly prised possession ''my kitchenaid''. I've been hankering after one of these babies for years. I've been saving hard and with a little help from some Xmas money and the Jan sales managed to purchase the one I wanted in this gorgeous Ice Blue colour.
Quite pleased with how the cake turned out and it has hubby's seal of approval. My taste buds are shot to pieces due to this cold so the jury's out for now, but I'll take hubby's word for it :o)
I'm not sure what direction my blog will go in this year yet. I've updated the background and sidebar a bit and will hopefully start to add some new pics to it when I can. I'm still crafting but its taken a different route over the past two years. I've turned my hand to painting wooden signs which I sell on eBay and concentrate on mainly Halloween and witchy type items. They seem to do well so I'm going to continue with them this year, and hopefully come up with some new ideas. 2013 is hopefully the year we finally get to decorate our lounge (on a budget), after 14 years in this house it needs doing badly!!! I will blog our progress and pop some pics up as and when. This year is also going to evolve some belt tightening, so I'm going to try and be organised, meal plan and get crafty in the kitchen. Well try anyway LOL.
I hope to be able to re-acquaint with old blogging buddies and meet some new ones. I hope you'll join me on my 2013 journey.

I've not blogged for a while, you get out of the loop. Nice to see I'm not the only one, you've given me a nudge in the right direction.
I haven't blogged for ages either, maybe I should do a post tonight or tomorrow . Life has been so busy! I wonder if it will be too different blogging on an ipad? We will see : )
