As I have been working so hard lately not only here at work, but my personal life seems to have been more than a little hectic, I have decided I need a little ‘me’ time. 

So, I have told everyone I won’t be answering the phone and not to expect to see me at any point over the whole weekend. A little self-indulgent I know, but I figure if I don’t take some time out for me now, I’ll explode a little later. And that, my friends is never a good thing!

So what to do with myself? Well, I’ve planned to make something from our latest issue - Quick Christmas Crafts (Volume 23 No 11), which goes on sale today.

As I have a date with some friends very soon, I thought I’d make them all a cute little surprise, and as I have had my eye on these gorgeous little boxes by Rachel Greig for quite sometime, I thought I’d give them a go!

I have some really cute pink dotty double-sided scrapbooking paper that I picked up in my travels, which will make them very , very cute when they are finished! Plan to fill them with chocolates (every girls’ best friend). Hmmm, that’s provided I don’t eat them all first!

Beyond that, I think it’s dvd’s and the lounge for me!
