Well Easter came and went, I can't say I have much to show for it though. I had great plans of getting stuck into my course work - i didn't even open a book. I was planning on doing some craft projects but only managed to half make a top for myself and CJ and I did a collage of african wildlife which we put on our lounge wall. We have a semi-african theme going on in our lounge, there is a lot of brown with a few splashes of colour. We have loads of photos which we took at a few game reserves in South Africa but have never got around to developing. I've been looking at a few online companies that offer quite cheap photos - we have so few pictures up on our walls. I want to enlarge a few of the really nice ones and put them up.... when I have a bit of time that is!
We had a good Easter break. I spent a bit of time with my sister, we went to Oxford for the day, had lunch and did a bit of shopping. I was trying to find some summer clothes for work but everything was so expensive - £35 for one top which was ok but not stunning. I would love to own some good quality clothes but just can't afford it - how depressing!
CJ bought some pot pourri but we do not have a pretty bowl to put it in, so i decided i would make one out of paper mache. I hope to finish and paint it this weekend and will post pics of the finished product!

Time to get motivated
After 4 months of being very lazy, I have decided I really need to get myself into gear and start doing my bookkeeping course again. I am hoping to have a bit of quiet time on Saturday while CJ is at cricket. It is really hard to get myself into it again especially when there are so many crafty things I would rather be doing!
I have been working on some napkin rings using paper mache and have almost finished decorating the first one. They are African themed and should go with quite earthy coloured napkins. I will post pictures soon. I might finish the one completely before I start my course work so then I won't be tempted to pick it up and finish it off in the middle of my bookkeeping.
I knew there were bank holidays coming up but I didn't actually realise how soon they were, as in starting next week - yay! CJ and I have taken the 3 week days off as well so that we have 11 days of 'holiday' in a row, can't wait! I better get to the shops to buy some easter eggs, I always leave it till the last minute and then they're mostly sold out. My favourite is the Lindt Bunny - which is yours?
