I went racing last night! I grew up next door to Ascot racecourse and I've never been racing before last night. My dear boss took 11 of us (all expenses paid) to Salisbury races, gave us each £10 for bets and onto a posh meal afterwards to celebrate our Salisbury shops birthday, its a year old!
I decided any winnings I had I was going to donate to our charity, Wateraid so some serious studying of form was called for.........................I decided to bet on the prettiest horses and had 3 winners in 5 races! So, broke even and £10 in our charity box.
I had a really fantastic time.
I've not blogged for days, possibly even a couple of weeks, sorry peeps.................This website thingy has driven me barmy, its been the biggest learning curve ever and to be honest I've had enough now, I want to get back to creating, I've missed it, bead withdrawal bigtime! So, its functional and will have to do for the time being, now I've got to learn to market it, another big learning curve I fear, talk about being dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming.
AND, I've not bought any beads, my favorite beady people have been making the most gorgeous treasures that I've just drooled over from afar, Laura, Caroline and Izzy, watch out, I'm on the prowl, I feel a bead buying spree coming on!
Oh and today its HOT, really hot, lovely blue skies all round, my husband is doing a car boot, getting rid of some of the rubbish thats been lurking in the loft for years and I've got a list of chores a mile long, housework, washing and the grass needs mowing, what fun!
To a very special friend I'd like to say such a big big big THANK YOU! Jo, of Gem Heaven sent me a present........a pair of her beautiful earrings, which I've worn every day since ripping open the package. I'm trying to get a picture that shows just how beautiful they are, and I've longed for a piece of Jo's jewellery since forever. She's lovely and she's my friend!

I love your system - betting on the prettiest horses! Lol! Probably worked as well as anything else. Glad you had fun!
oh a pair of Jo's beauties lucky you.
Sounds like your life has been like mine non stop.
Hope you are ok and just purserve (spelt wrong) the website will click into place eventually

Sounds like you made some good choices at the races.
There's a race track nearby to my hometown, but I only ever go there to take advantage of the fancy buffet dinners.
I am having the opposite issues regarding crafting and website... I have been crafting a lot lately, but not really updating my website. Just today, I took the bull by the horns and posted three sets of photos of work. I have tons more, of course, so maybe I'll get around to posting those ones too.
