I just know you're going to be back on form soon - water finds its own level after all. x I'm not sure what I do ... but I think you should let yourself off the hook and [dare I say 'go with the flow'? ...;-)] Your blogging is showing no sign of being creatively weary! So maybe, while in that beautiful chair you'll really recognise your wonderful transition from traditional crafting - with tangible materials - to being creative 'virtually'.

What a beautiful gesture - and pendant. Just lovely.

Oh Alexa - your wrapping is so you! Just lovely. I've been wondering whether to make my tags again this year ... but you know how I struggle with simple ... I'm going to try and apply your process somehow though!

:-) I think it's a credit to you that you've kept yourself a restful haven amid the throng. It's great that you're still finding time to connect with your friends online too - sure proof that you're not going to go under! xx

Love this! Am *so* pleased my Months In Numbers helped in some small way, it's a fabulous read. I think you deserve a new carpet [at least] after all that. And ... did you remember to get any biscuits? x

The lack of dresses is in no way a dealbreaker. The TK Maxx allergy .... I'm not so sure ... If you buy Luxembourg, can I rent out a few square metres of storage space please? x

I would have passed out [or worse] if I'd found that! Just wonderful!!

Beautiful page and thoughts Alexa. Am feeling the section about knowing what's yours and others at the moment too. You deserved to be on the receivng end of our friendship + support ... it was most definitely your turn. x

I'll join you! But then you might have been expecting me to be there ... and Kirsty definitely will be! Don't worry about being too busy either - just save all the tutorials until you're ready and the blog will still be there for reference too. See you soon! Julie :)

Beautiful Alexa. To where shall I bring my bucket of warm soapy water and willing hands for the metaphorical hull cleaning? x

How could such things of wonder be over-hyped? Amazing papery treasures! I *love*. I also think you should make/sell digi kits with them! When you've got a spare lifetime to work on it that is ... xx

What a lovely page, makes me really want to go and scrap/capture/document something [anything] about my week too. :-D p.s: I think he's settling in already, and why wouldn't he? x

I love this! James once stopped his bike to shoo a shrew off the cycle path ... so I guess we're both lucky. [As are the mouse + shrew!] xx

Wow, just re-read my comment above ^^^^. I've done a great job of hiding my English degree there haven't I? I guess I must have been overwhelmed at having you back .....

Oh, if I didn't loe you enough before!! I love the zebra! Thanks so much for snapping him for him. Clearly I'd love you more if you'd stolen it for me though ..... Welcome home x
