I'm Going To Be Scarce

OK OK you are probably thinking, "going to be scarce"? So what does she call her recent absences from the blogging community.

Yes I know I have been absent a lot of late but that was mainly due to really biting off more than I could chew and poor time management as well. Well this month is set to be very busy indeed and blogging and all it entails I would expect to come to a virtual stand still.

So what has been and what will be keeping me busy you wonder:

• I am please to say I completed my June ATC on time, actually over a week in advance (the theme was DREAMS) , my partner received it and so now I can show it here.

Stars Are Where Dreams Are Made.

• My youngest turns five tomorrow (I don't do big birthday parties every year but only on specific birthdays) The number 5 is a big party year, so I'm currently planning and preparing for the kiddy invasion on Saturday.
• I am also working on one of the books of a participating member of the altered book round robin swap I blogged about previously (here & here). It is due to be completed and back on its round robin journey on the 8th of July so I'll blog about it when I'm done. There will be one more book to do after this one.
• Lastly I am also currently going through the preparation stages for my first ever Handmade Jewellery Party.

I am terrified that my stuff won't be well received, as well as the worry that no one will turn up. The invites are out, I am tweeting and facebooking about it. So I am spending a large chunk of my days creating stock along with other preparations.
.

Here are some of the preparations, making gift bags for purchases (fingers crossed), making displays and tags for my pieces and lots of other stuff. I am writing a list and checking it twice, too make sure I cover all the possibilities I could think of.

If you have thrown a Jewellery party before and have any tips I would be eternally grateful to receive them.

And like the virtual invite says above, if you are in the Kent area and would like to have a cool girly evening out, then email me for more details, I would love to meet you.

So that's it really, I can honestly say I have nothing big planned for the month of August and I plan to keep it that way. I need to be careful to not burn myself out, so August month is going to be all about slowing down and enjoying the ride, rather than being in the driver's seat with the no idea where the breaks are!

So If you are not seeing me around, you know why, I'll Be Back!! :)

PS I'll be updating my gardening blog later and you are more than welcome to pop along for a visit.
