click this link to follow me 
It seems that some clever dick has decided we need a new way of following the blogs we like to keep updated with, heaven only knows why, well thats the situation so i have had to go with the times and change to a thingy called Bloglovin that i havent a clue how it works.  Nonetheless, i have transferred all my readers to the new format and hope i will learn to get along with some of this new technology.  Sadly it says i only have about 20 readers, so i do hope you will all pop over and join me

P.S:  I am still around, only am trying to do a scrapbook for my sons upcoming wedding anniversary, so let me know if you interested in taking a peek at a few scrapping layouts and i will share whats keeping me busy

reason for my abscense

this post is not for the feint hearted!!!!
since the wound has now healed i thought i would share with y"all what exactly an awl is and how dangerous they are!

this is the offender:

i stuck it clean through my finger, dont ask!! you can see the entrance and exit wound here in the picture, boy did i get a fright!

 you can barely see the entrance wound here
once it was through, i had to pull it out again! cos i had a latex glove on while i was working with silicone!
and then of course it was so dirty, as you can see by the sight of the handle, i had to get the tetanus shot just to be on the safe side.
well i am all healed, however working furiously on a few things for the Magnolia ink so i am not sure if i will have anything else to share for a while
see you soon
