Wow, how long has it been since I updated this blog?!! So sorry for not being around, to tell you the truth I've been having a craft break since the new year, and haven't made one single amigurumi *shock!*. I also wanted to spend some time away from my computer, so I shut my Etsy shop. But it's back open now, but I'm still not taking custom orders at the mo :)
So, how is everyone?! I hope you're all well! You might wonder what I've been up to as I haven't been crocheting, well I've been collecting (and buying LOADS of) postcards!
Last year I joined
Swap-Bot and
Postcrossing in the hope of starting a small postcard collection. I love the thought of recieveing and sending snail mail all over the world and hearing about people's lives. I had a small collection by the end of the year, but in the middle of January I went on a mad swapping spree at Swap-Bot. I now have about 150 postcards collected in 9 months lol
To feed my swapping obsession I have had to find cheaper ways to get my hands on postcards to send to my partners. I was spending about 70p ($1.15) on each postcard I bought, and it was getting silly. So I got stuck into
Ebay.co.uk and found loads of fab deals! They now only cost me on average 5p (80c) each! Yay!
After saying all that, if anyone reading my blog would like to swap postcards with me I would be more than happy to do so! I like any postcards - ones of where you're from, where you've been, anything cute/kawaii, animals, transport, art... anything! I even like Ad cards and handmade cards. So if you're interested you can email me at
esshaych@hotmail.co.uk an I'll swap with you!
Apart from all that I haven't really been up to much else. I heard back from Kings College about my dental nurse training - I will be starting in June and they will start processing my application next month. Exciting! Also I recieved a wonderful birthday/Christmas package last month from my good friend Jillz at
One Pink Hippo! So many fab things - I will upload the piccies!
Have a nice weekend! <3
