Blog Drought Over........But, been a sad day!

Well, what can I say, it's been a long time since I visited my blog & even longer since I posted!!!
A lot has happened in the months since my last post, including me moving home. I have left Shropshire & moved back home to Wiltshire. I now live in the beautiful village of Lacock & in a more rural location, I can now look out of my windows at fields & hedge rows instead of boring blocks of red brick flats & littered walk ways.
I haven't managed any serious crafting since my last LO posted on here, but I am determined that is now going to change. I really do miss playing with lovely patterned paper & glue .... not to mention buttons, ribbons & other pretty embellishments.

It is a very sad day today, because my beloved & very faithful German Shephard Dog 'Murphy' died, with the assistance of a very kind vet & his nurse. I asked them to come to our home instead of adding stress to Murphy, by taking him to the surgery. He went off peacefully to sleep in the company of those he loved most, knowing that he was loved to the end. He was 12.5yrs old & was such a special dog.....a gentle giant, who will be missed for a very long time. I had owned him since he was a 5 week old puppy, still to young to leave him mother. I still remember that day when I went to see the litter of pups, the 4 pups that hadn't been reserved were put in the middle of the owners lounge floor while we talked. The next thing I knew was that a bundle of fluffy fur & huge paws had waddled over & laid down to sleep on my feet....... he had chosen me, so I purchased him there & then LOL What a lucky day that was, that puppy grew up to be the most beautiful dog, whith impecable manners & was so gentle, loyal & loving.
