Wahey, congratulations would you email your address to me please. A big thank you to everyone that took the time to leave a comment.
Can I also say an even bigger CONGRATULATIONS to the new President of the USA, Barack Obama, inspirational man, inspirational times.
In that vein, thought I'd leave you with a couple of my favourite quotes from Martin Luther King.
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Take careTwiggy x
Mr Twigs saw her on Freecycle and contacted the lovely lady who wanted to find her a new home. She told him that she wanted her to go to someone who wants to learn how to play - that's me, likes pink - that's me and is left handed - me again. Isn't she lovely? I've just got to learn how to play her now!!!! (she also matches my duffel coat, but that's by the by).
And we managed a trip to the park with Mr Twigs too, in fact if I've not been at work this week we've been outside.
How lucky am I? I received this lovely little parcel of goodies along with a gorgeous birthday card from MariTrez from the Crafts Beautiful forum, you kind lady, thank you very much, what a lovely surprise. ( I LOVE paper nearly as much as buttons).
Haven't done much crafting this week as I've been working, so v.tired in the evening, but I have been working on this which makes me smile whenever I look at it, and for once it's for me - hooray!!!!
Just wanted to mention the fab giveaway on Cuteable.com, if you haven't already entered go take a look (link in my sidebar , I MUST learn how to do links properly - doh!). 
Tried to take a photo of a beautiful sunrise the other day and this was the result !
Twiglet made a space train (the yellow bits are it's pistumps - Twiglet for Pistons:)
I made a LOT of cards for my Folksy and Etsy shops whilst watching the Barchester Chronicles, Alan Rickman has appeared now, he's delightfully slimey, so lots of Vic Reeves leg rubbing as previously discussed.
The ATCs I've made for this months Papercraftersunited swaps.
Here are my 2009 resolutions.
I might even put some stuff inside the bag!! I've always loved January, obviously cos it's my birthday month, I always feel like it's a New Year, new start, clean slate. I love crisp winter walks, dark evenings knowing it's getting gradually lighter each evening, snow, woolly socks and warm blankets.
I always start to think about what veggies I'll grow this year when January comes and spend ages looking at seed catalogues. I'm going to try and grow potatoes and garlic for the first time. I'm very pleased with this little potato kit we just purchased as we have limited room in our garden.
Twiglet wants to grow more cress on the kitchen windowsill, egg and cress sandwiches - yum! Don't laugh, but I'm v. happy with this little compost caddy we've bought as we've been using a stinky old tupperware box for ages, so to help with our recycle mania and to top up our two garden compost bins we've got this, complete with charcoal filters to stop the nasty niffs!
Finally, I want to mention two lots of postal loveliness I received recently. Some lovely little tea pot post its and mats from Jan @ Daylily Lane and also a little helicopter and Frog for Master Twiglet, he's christened him Ribbit.
I also received a beautiful gift from my lovely friend Jo @ Blissed Out, we were talking about our lovely sons a while ago. I said Twiglet makes my heart sing, well she's captured this on one of her gorgeous silver necklaces. I haven't taken it off since I received it, what a lovely sentiment and what a lovely lady. (apologies for blurry photo).
Ok, so get your posts on here and I'll have a draw next Saturday 17th January.
Also received some cracking reads, the top book bought for me by Mr Twigs, is fab, if you haven't read it. You'll love it. Did everyone receive a copy of MAKE? ohhh Cath Kidston heaven, thanks Grandma Twiggy. I'm super inspired. Mr Twigs bought me a lovely little camera - cos I keep stealing his - it's a really small, cute little Nikon, I must make it a little case. Only problem is, it keeps saying this photo is blurred, want to keep it? How rude !!!
Look what Twiglet bought me, a Daisie Davies original, isn't it lovely?
These are from Silver of the Valley, a fab Etsy seller. See I was good and let Nana Twiggy have the earrings I bought for her, so had these as consolation. Gorgeous.
Here's a photo from the steam train outing, flippin heck we were cold. check out Twiglet and his little buddy in their matching Thomas hats :) Took this photo today, thought the tree looked really pretty with it's bauble like apples.
With Mr Twigs and Twiglet being at home and whispers ... no illness for 2 weeks..... it's been really lovely.
I'm raising a glass of this to all of you and can't wait to see you in the New Year.
Keep your eyes peeled for a little January giveway to celebrate my birthday.
Love
