Hurray, I am back from my holidays! I had so much fun, I plan to bore you all with the details for the next week or so. In the meantime, you can check out all my photos on Flickr. I’ve still got more to add but the first half of the week is up. Will be picking a giveaway winner very soon too so hurry up if you want to enter!
And here’s what else I got up to.
Books I enjoyed
I started far too many books this month and now have about 4 books with a couple of chapters left to read. Tsk.

Still enjoying this series. Still tons to go.
Good things I watched
Nothing! Unless you count the dozen videos from the LOST panel at Comic Con which were highly entertaining. Is it 2010 yet?

I made my 100th sale on Folksy while I was away! Very pleased about that as I do love Folksy a lot and the addition of Anne to the team has done wonders in the last couple of weeks. Etsy + Summer = rubbish for me. I think it was around this time last year I nearly gave up on my Etsy shop. It better pick up soon. Everywhere else was fine, considering I was on holiday for a week.
