one of those weeks!!

life has a habit of throwing it all at you at the same time doesn't it?

This week I had a sick kid (off for a total of 5 days and right before the school holiday too)
2 sick dogs (£110 vet bill and lots of mess to clean)
Computer speakers broke (hubby managed to fix them)
Home phone broke (new one had to be bought)
Doctors appointment (which had to be moved a day due to heavy snow)
My new bed delivery (which had been previously cancelled twice by 1st bed company so had to be bought from new place after getting stuck in a 3 hour traffic jam for what is usually a 20 min journey)
and on top of all that it is freezing cold with snow on the ground!!!!! YUCK!!!!!!

But on the plus side I had 6 gorgeous mail art packages turn up from these lovely ladies:


Thank you so much ladies, I loved everything you all sent to me and you made my week bearable :o)
I will mail all of your packages out to you on Monday morning x

______________________________

These 4 paintings were done in between chaos times, i'm amazed I managed to do anything this week at all!!


Here's hoping next week is a tad quieter and easier than the last ;o)

Hugs

      I'm glad your month is better for you than the last, I've been thinking about you over the past week and wondering if you were ok.

  7. Oh no!..I think we all have weeks like that from time to time - It must be some sort of test!, which sounds like you got through very well. Hope child and dogs are feeling much better, plus I really like your four paintings.

  8. When it gets that bad....you almost have to chuckle in spite of yourself....."Bring it on...haha! Fits right in with the rest of the week...haha!" Or at least, that's what I do when I'm at my wit's end :D

    I'm not surprised anymore when you have weeks like this and you still have new stuff to share...haha! You are amazing :)
    So pretty they are....and familiar...like sisters :)

    Hugs to you,
    Cam

    1. Cam I have probably laughed harder this week than any other :o)
      I always seem to laugh in the face of annoying things, me and the hubby have deliberatly watched a heap of films to make us chuckle this week too.....and the copious amounts of wine may have had a hand in helping us giggle also ;o)

  13. You are a super-woman to be able to paint like that in such a challenging week! The girls in your paintings look so calm, maybe that helped you go through it. I hope the next week will be much easier :-)
