Geranium Rose Soap - ready 6th December 2010
Thank you so much for your replies to my previous post, they helped me hugely. Since writing that all down and getting it off my chest, the effects of the weekend away have been huge for me.
Firstly, this is the first time I have ever been away (other than through pregnancy/births) from my husband! I missed him, of course, but the confidence I gained was massive (plus the knowledge that he pined for me the whole weekend was particularly heartwarming as it is usually me doing the pining). Secondly, seeing people that I can actually relate to, rather than feeling like the weirdo, was a very re-assuring and calming experience. One particular family was amazing to watch - a team for sure. Thirdly, I have realised that I don't need to be on the computer to catch anything I might miss because the most important things, ie my family, are right with me now, and I don't want to miss that. Lastly, and most importantly, I have not shouted once since we got home :o).

Right, it was my 2 year blog-iversary over the weekend so I think we need a little give-away to celebrate. If you leave your name in the comments section and I will draw a winner on Sunday 14th November. You can choose any 2 bars of soap you would like. I've just made geranium rose and plain lavender which will be ready on 6th/7th December respectively which I shall also include in the give-away (you'll just have to wait until they are ready though, if you would like either of those).

Lovely to read what a positive impact the weekend has had on you after some thinking time, family first every time.
Happy blog-iversary, although please omit my name from the giveaway - not that I wouldn't love your handmade loveliness, but I did win on your giveaway last year, would prefer to see someone else receive your gift this year. I may just have to buy some from your shop though ... mmmm lavender.

I often feel like that after the meet up. Suddenly spending much less time online and cherishing my real life all the more! Some would argue I could do with such a meet up a bit more frequently, if that's the effect it has on me!
So glad you are feeling better :-)
