Hello all and I hope that your week has been going well? I'm sat here with my brain in a complete fog! I started my new job on Monday (and thank you for all your good wishes!) and I've definitely reached data overload point! One of the reasons I was excited about my new job is that in my old office it was very quiet, the majority of contact with clients via email, etc. And I prefer the 'people' contact bit! So I seem to have moved from the 'sublime to the ridiculous' as they say! It's like working in Piccadilly Circus! But I'm really enjoying it! I'm at an all boys grammar school in the general office so there is a constant stream of staff and boys in and out. It's a big and busy school (about 1100 boys - and it's also part-boarding school!) so of course the start of term is bound to be busy - but I've a feeling that it's going to stay busy all year! My main problem at the moment is that there is so much to take in and try to remember - I could do with extra memory banks or an 'external hard drive' fitted to my brain! Hey ho. I'm sure I'll eventually start to absorb it! At least my son (who is a pupil there) called in to see me yesterday - I think he's come around to the idea that I'm working at his school! Although I have threatened now that if he's too much of a pain at home, I'll ask if I get a 'staff discount' on the boarding fees lol!
Anyway, less waffling! I've another Christmas card to share with you today made with the fabulous
Angelberry Christmas cd from Polkadoodles.
I've used copics and some of my new graph-it pens, and added lots of glamour dust to the wings!
The papers are from the cd. I've added a Tonic punched border, some ribbon and punched snowflakes. So quite a simple card but I wanted the focus to be the Angel.
And don't forget there is still time to enter the challenge over at the
Polkadoodles Challenge blog. You have to use an Angelberry image - and if you haven't got one, Nikky is offering a
free digi stamp worth £2.95 and the details are on the
challenge blog!
Back soon,
