#busybeeclearout 2021 Reset

Hello Everyone - hope everyone is well. Back in 2016 I started a challenge #busybeeclearout on crafting stuff and toiletries. Well I have come to the conclusion the crafting stuff will be a loosing battle if I keep trying. Best not keep talking about it, has it is a saw point in my house...

The toiletries is definitely my main area to tackle, don't ask. Over the past 18 months or more I have had a wee bit of a shopping spree with The Body Shop (My Favourite Shop) and Avon ( some of my favourite perfume is from there). Also my godmother is my Rep... 

Even tho during the 18 months I have used a lot up, I seem to have got a lot more. Maybe shopping is my way of distressing!

So my aim is to post nearly every month about what I have used up, and if I will buy it again. 

So watch out for #busybeeclearout 

Postcards Out Going

Please note that I wrote this on Monday the 18th of January.  But I have only just noticed tonight.

Today 18th is my brothers special birthday. He would kill me if I told the world, so I won't. 

Early today I requested to send three more postcards. Here in the UK we are still in lockdown 3. So we knew we weren't going to go anywhere and as we live our mum. She is still isolating from the world.

I thought as we aren't going to be doing anything I would have time to write them. Plus when I take my dog out for his walk I could post them. (Yes I was going to trust an different postbox, than the work one.) But that didn't happen..

I will write them tomorrow evening to post on my way into work. 

The picture above is the three postcards I have picked out. So where are they travelling to, I hear you say. Well the corgi and fairy postcard is off to China. The postcard of my home town is off to Germany. The birdy one is off to Austria.

I will update when they get to their destination, hopefully it won't take to long. 

Take care and Stay safe.

Paw Prints By Claire Review

I came across Paw Prints by accident. The owner of the shop posted a link in the UK Corgi Group on Facebook..

Which I am a member of... Claire and I are both owners of corgis. Claire as a permbroke (aka like the queen's corgi). I on the other hand have a Cardigan Corgi. 

Picture above is of my boy Colin this is an old picture of him. Has he doesn't like his photo took, just like me...

Claire's etsy shop.

Paw Prints By Claire

I asked Claire if she had any postcards, as I was still on a mission to find some unique postcards. 

The answer was yes, I also told her about Postcrossing as well...

That night I made a nice little order.  My order arrived on Saturday the 16th of January.

This is what I ordered.

I will give you the heads up, there might be a wee bit of corgi related stuff. A one or two items. 

In the picture above there is a really cool little badge and the stickers I ordered. Picture below shows exactly what stickers I got..

Below are the postcards or prints.  I ordered a fair few of each. 

The print of the wee corgi below I am keeping. 

Next the last three I am going to use as postcards..

I love the art work and the positive quotes... 

Postcrossing

Last year ( 2020 ) a dear friend of mine mentioned she was sending postcards and after a while I asked her about it.....

This is how I learnt about Postcrossing!

After checking the website out and reading, then going back and re-reading. Trust me I read everything and then still couldn't make my mind up. 

On the New Year Eve - I decided that I would join and become a postcrosser. The next day 1st of January 2021 I took the plunge to signed up..

I did not send my first postcard until 13th of January. Only because I did not have any postcards, stamps and air mail stickers. Also I only trust the post box at work, silly really. But to me whatever I post seems to get to its destination. If I use another it never gets there, apart from the work postbox or the main post office...

The first two postcards I wrote and sent was of Weymouth seafront, my home town. 

To send a letter or postcard over seas from the UK costs £1.70 which is two 1st class stamps 0.85p each. 

At this moment in time both postcards are still travelling one is on its way to America and the other is off to Russia. 

I will keep you all posted when they get to the destination.

Tonight I will be writing some more... 

New Year

Hello all! 

I hope you are all well and are staying safe in these difficult times. 

Guess I best say Happy New Year - let hope this year improves..  I live in the UK and we are in lockdown 3.

So I thought I would come on and share some of my goals for this year.

1: Do something that is out of my comfort zone.. 

2: Get my garden back!! Best not ask whats happened there. I will do a post soon..

3: Spread more happiness during these difficult times.

4: Use up all my toiletries and craft stuff..

5: Save more (Personal goal)

6: Join Postcrossing 

7: Get fit (Personal Goal)

There is a few other things, but I'm not willing to share.  At the moment! 

Please stay safe

2020 Life (part 1)

Sorry I vanished I know my last post I said I was back. To be honest I had planned to get back into doing posts. 

But life got in the way, I have never mentioned it before but I work for a supermarket so, during this year. I (like so many of my follow colleagues) have been working hard to feed the nation, during this pandemic..

Trust me its been scary at times, but obviously nothing like what our amazing NHS have witness. 

I was planning to do a post back in January on my goals for this year. Instead those goals have been put on hold for now, for obvious reasons.  

But 2020 haven't failed me, I have learnt so much. About myself, I have also learnt to forgive people who have treated me wrong in the past and present. Also I have learnt who are real friends and who aren't..  Sad thing is I have lost friends because they have shown their true colours. Wow it takes a pandemic for those you consider as friends to show their real selves... 

Hopefully will post soon.

Please Stay safe everyone.

I'm back

Hello Everyone!

So sorry I have not posted anything in the last 12 months.

My ipad died in September of last year 2019 and my phone was slowly packing up also. 

I now still do not have a new ipad or laptop... But I do have a new phone, so hopefully I will be posting as and when. I need to get my blogging  mojo back.
