Where did the week go?

This time last week I was battling with my sleep-in curlers - which had left me with no sleep at all through the night - getting ready for Miss Anja's big day:

And even when the Fascinator is in place, the volume they give makes all the difference, but alas, if worn overnight the only way you can sleep is on your face (not so comfortable or good if you get a pillow crease), or sitting up like a vampire... hm...

Likewise Miss Anja and her mum were also decked out in their Monsoon finery - in fact Anja and I had almost matching outfits on - our colours matched perfectly. :)

After the Christening and lovely meal and party we enjoyed the rest of the evening with friends and family and Miss A definitely wasn't quite ready for bed any time soon.

The album and card I made were revealed and went down really well. :)

There were also some more traditional gifts included for my Goddaughter, including this fab breakfast set for when she is older:

I hope it's something she will keep, I still have my Bunnykins egg cup from since before I can remember and a little mug from my childhood.

But there were also some things she could enjoy now, a cute soft duck raffle (yes keeping on the theme!) that caught her immediate attention and some little outfits I couldn't resist:

I was really surprised to receive a gorgeous card and gift in return:

Just a really fantastic day and I was honoured to share it with Anja and her family. :)

Didn't get home until very late and the lack of sleep due to my curlers meant I was a bit of a zombie the rest of the week... so not much crafting got done.

By the time the work week ended and I got home Friday I was ready for some restorative weekend fun.

Wasn't expecting this type of April shower to have hit on Friday afternoon:

But yesterday I got down to crafty business involving some of these:

And got caught up with what I needed to do:

But I now need to get ahead but also share my catch-up projects for this week's 52 Cards challenge - I shall be back later to do just that. ;o)
