So, what have I learned this week?

Regular bloggy friends, tell me ……… do you, like me, look forward to these lessons learned?

If I did not have this regular prompt to keep my blogging on track I may have disappeared over the edge into the bloggy abyss to join the other abandoned blogs out there. So thanks Jo-Lynne, without you I may not even be here.

So without further ado (what is ado?) here we go:

Lesson 1

I love Autumn – we have had some beautiful crisp mornings. Following some strong winds over the weekend, there are now lots of leaves to crunch through on the paths.

Lesson 2

I do not like the dark mornings that come with Autumn. It is now 7.15 am or later when it starts to get light – makes it so much harder to get up when it is dark outside.

Lesson 3

Who’s the Mummy?! I have made it into the TOP 100 UK Mum Bloggers – I may only be at number 68, but it is a start!

Lesson 4

I have had another digital layout accepted to be published in a UK scrapbooking magazine – a REAL one, that you can buy in REAL shops! (This distinction is vital in my kids eyes – being published on-line is not enough for them)

Lesson 5

Having a 5 year old boy’s 5th birthday party NOT AT HOME was a wonderful idea. Everyone had a wonderful time, then we returned to a calm and quiet house to enjoy a chinese takeaway without having to clear away the party “fall-out”.

Lesson 6

Can’t wait for my Pampered Chef goodies to arrive – then I promise a FULL report, with pictures, on the Pampered Chef party, and which products I chose.

Lesson 7

While composing this post I initially left Lesson 7 blank. I was hoping something else was going inspire me while I cooked chile con carne for our tea (or maybe you call it dinner, or supper? – let me know what you call the main meal you eat around 6pm-ish) – but nothing has.

I suppose I HAVE learned that I don’t know what my bloggy readers call their evening meal – so enlighten me please (and thankyou – for they are the magic words).

REMEMBER – please enter my giveaway, as the very nice people at uprinting.com have allowed this giveaway to be open to US AND UK – so enter PLEASE and you could win 250 customised cards, with free delivery. More great giveaways planned soon – so stay tuned.

In fact, if you are from UK and have never commented yet, why not take the plunge and make a comment! I know I have lots of UK readers/lurkers, but most of my commentors seem to come from the rest of the world. To help get more great UK giveaways, I need some more “local” commentors…..who knows, you might even win something!
