I have had a few days away with the family. We stayed in a caravan in Pagham, Sussex and it was great. I think this was probably due to the weather as we were able to spend most of the time outdoors. 
But also it was a great base to explore the surrounding countryside. We went to Arundel Castle
visited the Down and Weald outdoor museum
and spent time at the Wildlife and Wetlands Trust
Now I am back home, I have caught up with reading all the blogs I follow, but I still have quite a bit of class work to do! I am a student of Shimelles again, the subject 'beyond blogging for scrapbookers'. I wanted to join in with all the gang, taking this new class together. I really want to blog a lot more regularly and want my posts and the space here to reflect my personality. I love how Rachel B's blog has a personalised header that changes every month and one day I hope to achieve something unique like that.
I installed Google analytics a few months ago after a recommendation from K, so I look forward to learning more about it in class. I do love hearing from my readers and appreciate all the comments. I often wonder how or what brings people to visit here? What is it you like or enjoy? Please if you have a chance take time to answer in the comments section today.
Finally, I wanted to mention that Enfys has some great blog candy, a chance to win a gorgeous Polkadoodles CD. Pop over and check it out here. In fact her blog is a great one to regularly persue for inspiration on card making and many amusing ancedotes from her everyday life!
Happy Easter.
