Welcome to 2011!

Good grief, I cant believe this is my first post of the year!  Things have been a little tricky over the past couple of months and I have let my blogging slip so much - I am so sorry!  So, time for a little update...

Writing
I signed up for a Creative Writing course back in September which started a few weeks before Christmas.  Just like last year with the photography course, I wished I had chosen another time of year to do it!  I have just submitted my second and last assessed piece and I can honestly say that I have loved every minute.  I've "met" some really great people and we have promised to keep up the momentum of writing on another blog where we can critique each others work much like we did on this course.  I hope to continue my writing and so I will be posting some efforts here once the course officially finishes.

Scrapbooking
I finally finished my Learn Something New Everyday pages so I will be posting up the last of those in the next couple of days.  Despite my best intentions, I didnt keep up with Journal Your Christmas past day 3 but I am catching up slowly.  I'll pop these on another post in a few days and the rest will appear as they get done.  I'm actually going to a paid crop next week with someone I've never met so that will be very interesting.  I'm looking forward to being around like minded people and seeing what other people achieve in a couple of hours.

Depression
Well this has been pretty bad over the last couple of months but at last I think there may be some light at the end of the tunnel.  I'm on my 3rd different medication so fingers crossed this one is the one.  I've also been taking part in some counselling delivered by phone called iTalk which has been interesting.  My hubs, as always, has been my rock and has pulled me up out of this current dip.  I've gone from being near suicidal to feeling almost positive and actually approaching cheerful.  I'll let you know how it goes!

Well I'm off to bed now to catch up on some reading, something I have been badly neglecting recently.  I'll be reading on my iPad which I got for my birthday last week so if anyone can recommend any "must-have" apps then please let me know!

Bye for now! xx
