Well I'm back from Abersoch now and I had a fab time! Fortunately it wasn't too soggy with only a couple of rainy days (lucky I'd anticipated it and taken my umbrella!) but the rest of the time it was really sunny! So cue some fab day trips and days by the beach (though not too long - I tend to get bored of just sitting on sand after a while!) and late nights having a real giggle with Chris' family over delicious meals, games and drinks (though not too many of course ;D) I don't tan, but my freckles have merged making me have that healthy holiday glow!
Just thought I'd share a couple of pics with y'all - no more than two I promise!'
Firstly Chris' and my own tootsies in the sea - we dared to go a little deeper with our jeans rolled up and inevitably ended up with soggy jeans LOL!
Secondly (and lastly!) Chris and me at Caernarfon Castle. What a beautiful place just full of history and very steep, winding, narrow stone stairs up to the highest turrets providing just stunning views of Snowdonia.
Of course I've been itching to get back to Blogland and see what you've all been up to (and to check if my scheduled post worked - it did hurrah!), it would seem that everyone has been VERY busy crafting - so much inspiration! Apologies if I've not got around to commenting yet - it's a lenghty process to visit everyone and have a good nosy! LOL!I've had some really pleasant surprises after my troop around blogland, firstly I'd love to thank Alex for nominating me for not one, not two, but THREE blog awards! Thanks so much hun, I'm really honoured that you considered me - you're a fab bloggin' buddy! Go check out Alex's work - it's really super and the sneak peeks she gives really have me on the edge of my seat!
So I know I've already received the Beautiful Blogger award but I'd really like to nominate some people for all three! I know most people probably have these by the time I get around to nominating new people so apologies in advance if you've already got them - just ignore me! So in alphabetical order I'd like to nominate:
1. Alison
2. Ann
3. Dawn
4. Karen
5. Jane
6. Julie
My last little piece of news had my jaw on the floor...I've realised that I've been selected as one of the Top 5 Passionistas over on the Passion For Promarkers Blog for my entry for Week 10!
OMG! I'm truly thrilled and gobsmacked! Thanks so much for picking little me and it's given me the perfect excuse to buy even more Promarkers to play along with future challenges of course! I get the honor of displaying the following blinkie on my blog now!
Ah well that's about all for now - I've gotta make sure I help in unpacking (the worst part about holidays) and solve the mystery of how sand managed to get in Chris' laptop bag, eek!
Catch ya later!
