That was a week...

...that was - and it certainly rocked.
Hop on over to Virginia's blog to see what WRYWF is all about. In brief; you take a few moments to look back at your week and pick out the positives/good stuff that made you happy...brought a smile to your lips...or just out & out "Rocked". You'll be surprised what you can find even if it seems to have been a pretty grotty week for one reason or another. There are a small group of lovely folk who do this on a regular basis and they hop over to Virginia's place to share the things they have found.

This has been my week...

On Sunday, I took my Mum for a brief visit to my sister's. These visits don't happen very often because my sister's house isn't easily accessible. We had a lovely natter and catch-up and then I took Mum shopping. On the way we stopped for lunch at a Pub (although near to where my sister lives, I hadn't been in there for years) and we had a delightful meal - def one to add to the list for future visits. Shopping was a success too - I picked up a new winter duvet (King-size) for under £10 and it is washable...so no more expensive visits to the cleaners.

Monday was a pretty grotty day at work but oh the lovely surprise when I got home and read my emails. I had won a Tim Holtz storage case in the Pinnacle Crafts Birthday draw. I was bouncing up & down on my chair and kept going back to read the email to make sure I hadn't imagined it **giggle** - even now it is making me smile thinking about it.

The Paralympics have been just awesome and when you see what these folk have overcome to achieve this level of success it is very humbling. In the Olympics Team GB came away with 65 fabulous medals - so far our Paralympic Team GB have 108 and there are still 3 days to go. Wowza!!!

A short while ago my friend Paula asked if I would do a guest spot on her blog. Paula is currently posting weekly ideas for organising & decluttering - each Monday she focuses on a specific thing (sorting your media/make-up/storage) and then on Friday she gives you crafty ideas linked to that topic.

This Monday Paula highlighted mug collections...she suggested we all take a look at what we had in our cupboards and she encouraged us to get rid of any broken/damaged ones or suggested we 'repurpose' them. This was also the week that she asked me to participate in.

Over on Paula's blog she has featured my Mug hugs as a way of sprucing up your mug collections...she has also been very kind and said some really lovely things **blush**
Anyone who visits me on a regular basis will know that I like to knit and that from time to time I make mug hugs/scarves/bits & bobs.
Do hop over to Paula's blog and see all the other ideas she has been sharing lately...I'm sure you'll find something that makes you think "now why didn't I think of that?". If for no other reason, drop in on her to see all her lovely photos - through her camera lens I have watched her children grow-up and I have seen a wonderful part of the world that I probably would never have seen - and Paula is a really lovely person...so that is good enough in itself.

All in all it has been a pretty super (if busy) week. Oh, and before I forget a big welcome to my latest follower...hope you enjoy visiting.

I'll be linking this up over at Virginia's place and dropping in to see what the other 'Rockers' have been up to this week. Have a good one.........................
