Where has the time gone???

Oh my goodness, I can't believe it has been nearly a week since my last post - where has the time gone. I know I have started to work an extra morning - but - it's only 4 hours extra!!! I really have problems with getting organised - and I really need to start managing my time better - but I just don't know where to start - and everything is suffering!?! (if anyone has any tips on what works for them - they would be greatly received - lol). Like today, busy faffing on with cards - thinking I had 15 mins while waiting for the steamer to ping, when I realised I hadn't put the parsnips or broccoli & cauli to have with our tea. Earlier in the day, I realised I had ordered the wrong stamp from the Glitter Pot - I like the one that has arrived but I need to pay more attention. Then panicked thinking I hadn't got the boys uniforms ready for the morning - but all I was short was a pair of trousers, which are now ironed and ready.

Anyway, enough of my moaning - I eventually managed to finish the backstitching on the daffodil the other night, and finally put it on a card today -



(noticed the ribbon goes up at one end, but in real life - it doesn't look that bad!)

I have also entered the card swap again at Crafty Place and was going to use this card:

But I have decided I dont like it - the Spring sticker is wonky and it does look bad in real life, so have done something else - however I wont post a pic until the swap actually takes place.

Hope you all enjoy the rest of your Sunday - and hopefully it won't take me a week to blog again - I WILL GET ORGANISED!!
