Hello again ....

.... remember me?!!!  It's a very long time since I've blogged, reason being I haven't been doing any craft stuff or internet/blog-surfing whatsoever.  Long story which I won't go into, suffice to say September was a bad month on all fronts, and I had neither inspiration nor inclination to make anything.  But anyhoo, I'm an optimist when all is said and done, it's now Hallowe'en, my favourite holiday, we went to Italy last week for some well-earned r and r (translation, hurtled round Umbria and Rome and came back exhausted!!!).  I went to a crop yesterday and made something and it felt gooooood!!!  Not sure if it looks good, but hey, it's a start!

Here's my card (if I can remember how to upload photos!):

I've used the sketch on this week's Basic Grey Challenges, and the lovely new Pyrus papers.  I'm also entering it into the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp ("punch 'em"), Creative Inspirations (brown, sage and cream) and Crafty Creations (Autumn).

And it wouldn't be Hallowe'en without pumpkins, here's what we made this year, the first is mine and the second is my son's:

Thanks for looking. And for all my DT teamies, followers and those that I follow, I have really missed joining in, looking at everyone's blogs and commenting, not sure how much I'll get done, either blogging or craftwise, over the next week or two, but I hope to be revving back up to top gear soon.
