I know ... I know ... I gave it all the ... look how good I am blogging every day in November malarkey and then ... vanished without so much as a bye or leave ... no warning ... just gone! Now I guess I should tell you all where I have been ... you know like offer some sort of explanation ... and the truth is ... I have n't been any where!
In my defence ... I have been like a bear with a sore head ... all snappy and miserable ... so you guys are really quite lucky you did n't have to put up with me. John ... bless him ... bore the brunt of it! Now if you have put two and two together and made four ... you will now have guessed that D Day finally arrived and at midnight on the 09.11.10 I quit the evil 
weed ... I am now a smoke free zone. I aint gonna pretend it has been easy ... or that I am through the worst ... the whole drug replacement wotsit has n't really helped and I have eaten every waking minute since 12.01am on 10.11.10 ... and probably my entire body weight in Wine Gums ... so pretty soon I shall be the size of a house ... But my skin will look younger ... so that's Ok then :0)
Now to the beer mat in the piccie ... Simon Says Stamp and Show this week is ... Show anything that makes you happy ... so I used all my favourites on this altered Beer Mat. I hope you get chance to join us this week.
Hopefully I won't leave it quite so long between posts next time :0)
Laters!

Your beer mats make me happy, perhaps I can post your pic of your beer mat, too!! Keep going with the no smoking!
Congrats on becoming a 'smoke free' zone - well done. I'm sure you have lots of lovely folk supporting you in this so it is bound to get better.
Lovely beer mat, super warm cheery colour.

Well done Linda, persevere, it will be worth it, I do know how hard it is though and winegums were only one of the crutches I used!!! Just do it day by day, stay strong and you WILL get there!!! Love the tags, red is not my colour, but they do look very cheery!!
Thank you for a fab class today, I really enjoyed it. Good luck with the non-smoking, I am full of admiration.

Gorgeous beer mat Linda, love that fiery red. Big hugs for the ciggy quitting. I remember my Mum stopped because she dozed off in the chair one day and woke up to a big smoking hole in her sofa. Never had another after that. T'was very scary to imagine what could have happened. Annoying thing is when she was younger it was a DR advised her to start smoking to help with stress! Oh how the times do change!
Hi Linda
Well done you - keep at it! You know you are going to look fabby!
Hugs

WTG on the quitting smoking Linda! I quit - and went cold turkey - in March of this year, and haven't looked back since. Highlight of the year in relation to that was swimming my first half-mile..... ever. Keep it up Mrs!
