Hi all, I hope yo are doing well. I know I have been so busy over the last few weeks, making cards and gifts and everything christmassy. Hopefully things will slow down a little. I have a few five minutes. So I have blown the dust off the blog and doing just a quick post to let you all know I am still alive..
I worked out I must spend aound £30 or more on craft magazines in one way or another. To be fair I do love reading them when time permits. I don't know about you , but for me especially this time of the year they begin to build up and when you are resting your feet on them it's time to decide whether or not these magazines are really worth buying? I mean they are good for leading you down the road of crafting temptation and making you buy things you really shouldn't because you have already spent your monthly budget on promarkers.... Oh that's only me? REALLY!??? Huh! Anyhoo back to my point. When I was doing my banking I looked at my direct debits for these magazines, my eyes actually popped out of my head.. I thought why do I need these guys, when I actually read RSS Feeds from my favourite crafters everyday with my mail. How many crafts can one do realistically? Do you guys spend money on things you really dont use or is that me? So I cancelled all my subscriptions and I now only read my RSS feeds, and the good thing is that you never ever stop finding great sites. I have to really becareful that I dont spend hours clicking in awe at all the talented people in blog land.
A few of my faves are on the left and right sides somewhere, have a check out of some of these blogs they are so wonderfully giving..
So back to the christmas crocheting.. How are you guys getting along with your christmas organising, are you an early bird like me or are you a last minute person?

Ya I do that too with cooking magazines. I have cancelled most of them now because like you say, I go look online anyway. Go figure.
