OK, here I go -
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear meeeeeee, happy birthday to me!!
Hello blogworld,
Guess what today is!! Nope? Well I'll let you in on a secret - it's my birthday!
Thank you to all my lovely bloggy friends who sent cards (I'll get round and thank you personally asap), good wishes and even a present or two (wow that was unexpected and very touching!) - they are very much appreciated.
I've had a lovely day, got some great pressies and had a wonderful meal out at lunchtime, now I'm off to re-sort all my craft stuff and make a wish list for the birthday money I got.
Hang on a sec, re-sort my craft stuff ? But why, dear Sarah, but why? Well this is why:
the before:
the during:
and the after:
What more could a crafty girl ask for - than a few stamps and storage!!!
Oh and while I'm here, I've made a decision. I feel really bad that I'm hardly getting round anyone's blogs and I've got 60 odd comments waiting in my inbox for me to go and comment back on people's blogs. Some of those comments have been waiting for weeks.
My solution to this position: not blog much at all during the holidays. That way I don't get comments on my blog that I then get behind with in replying to.
I'll not disappear altogether - I'll be here with my DT cards and I'll clear the comments that I've got waiting for a reply but not post anything for me after that. If I get a little time I'll make a card for no reason occasionally, but you will only see me minimally until September - I feel terrible not answering all you lovely bloggy people so I'm going to do what I think is right and not get myself in the uncomfortable position I find myself in now.
I don't know quite why Emily being off on holiday impacts quite so much on my time - I mean it's not like I've got 3 or 4 children - but it does. Maybe it's something to do with not having any family at all that can look after her for me, it's either me or hubby and that's it. So the holiday can be very hectic!!
Anyway it'll be nice for you all to have a break from the waffle and hope to see much more of you all in September.
Cheerio for now,
Sarah
Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear meeeeeee, happy birthday to me!!

Emily looks so sweet & happy in the photos.Enjoy the holidays together and don't worry about your blog & commenting, you can catch up with us come September.

Happy Birthday Sarah. Wow!! love the storage and doesn't Emily look so happy too with those gorgeous flowers.
I hope you got my card and like Wendy said you don't need to worry too much about your commenting over the summer, it's more important that you spend some time with Emily while she is still young. Make the most of it, they grow up soooo quickly!!

Happy Birthday Sarah. Hope my card arrived. What a lucky girl you are to get such a fab pressie! Totally understand about not blogging. I don't think I will get many cards made during the holidays. My two take up all my time and I don't get a break even though I do have family living nearby!

Happy Birthday Sarah!!! Ooh I have drawer envy right now!!! Gorgeous units - enjoy your list and I'd love to know where your lovely units came from when you have a mo!
Please stop stressing - you have a young daughter and business to run. Take some time out to spend with your lovely daughter and do not get too stressy yourself! If they are proper friends they will understand! hugs Karen x
Happy Birthday, Sweetie! So pleased that you've had a lovely day. And what a brilliant present - I may even be the teeniest bit jealous!! Don't worry about the commenting thing, either. I don't do much blogging/replying to comments during term time but that's not what it's supposed to be about. Nobody minds if they leave you a comment and you don't reply every time... this is meant to be fun, not something else to get stressed about! Hugs, Tracey xx
I would rather see your lovely cards and have you not worry about commenting. We all had little ones once upon a time...some of us just a longer time ago. Me included.
That means I have more time on my hands to drop by and comment.
I don't leave them to get comments back...
So don't worry!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FOR YESTERDAY SARAH.
WOW I am so jealous, what super, super storage. OMG I know what I will be asking for for my birthday this year.
You are such a lucky girl and your little princess in the photos looks so sweet , she is adorable.
I hope you had a lovely day .
Big Hugs Elaine
