Missing in Action and our last Quixotic weekly challenge

Posted by Emma Lockley at Wednesday, September 29, 2010
Goodmorning all, well it seems so long ago when i last posted on here. Nearly 2 weeks! I will cut this story short. Im at work and had the phone call from my Son's school to say that he had been poorly and could i pick him up. On my way to the school a (silly) driver over took two cyclists on a blind bend!!! just as i was coming round on the opposite side of the road, in order not to hit him I swerved out of the way and went into a shallow ditch, The car isn't too bad although it had to be sent away for almost a week for repairs. My back has been in agony but is allot better now. Jack is over he's tummy bug but was off school all week. I think things will resume to normal now although i have alot of catching up to do.

If you have visited the challenge blog recently you will have noticed that there are a few changes.
There are more changes on the way.  We have decided that, as part of the blog merge, we will be moving from a weekly challenge to a monthly one.  There will be more details on that soon, as the change will happen as of 1st October 2010.  This week will be our last weekly challenge, so there are still a chance to get your entries in for the September prize draw.

This weeks Challenge has been set by the lovely Rowena
'Gift It'


I love making these decorated Candles, The Echo Park set made it easy to co-ordinate it with my card. The large polka dot butterfly (gorgeous) is from the The Greeting Farm stamp kit, Spotlight

Unfortunately for me, I am at work today and tomorrow. I hope to get some of my Mojo back for Friday and have a day to craft!

Please pop over to the Quixotic Paperie blog, check out the gorgeous work from the DT and join us for our fun new challenge.
