my journal is about me

Ive got into embroidery/sewing and am obsessed!

and no, its not from me, its from my looney half sister.  I will post something interesting and creative shortly, but really REALLY this is such a good place to dump this kind of crap....>

Dearest Lou/lulu - hi & here I am again, even at this late/(now) early hour!...yet again, I've found & had sent - this time, tho', to Leon & Amy, an e-card officially (& rather belatedly, for which my apologies), congratulating them on both their engagement & get-together, and now, for their up-&-coming wedding...so, if you could possibly try & print & give them a copy, which I obviously had to address & send to your own email address, since they apparently don't have one yet (or do they by now?! - if so, pls pass it on to me, as you did w./ Dylan's, okay?) - & I hope the e-card I just sent him for his b-day, btw, went to the right address too - i.e., if it's still the same one/unless that's changed too, meanwhile, that is?!...incidentally, sorry but, due to the crazy hour even when I was sending that too, before, Lou (& also, due to my having had an unusually difficult, long day today & on top of all our present pressures), I made rather a faux-pas in my p.s. earlier, re. my suggestion that I send you a copy, then/after which you could maybe make one for him, Dylan: but the same applied, as what I'd written him, namely that, our not having, at present, a cartridge for our colour printer, this would indeed be pointless altogether, even if you were to do one - unless I simply send a blk-&-white copy to him, & to Leon & Amy, for now, if you're unable to do so yourself, if you see what I mean/am driving at, that is?)!
 
As regards Leon & Amy's card, tho' the same does apply, in a way (& I hope you'll all like it as much as I do!), I'll still be happier if you would be able to do likewise & print it up for them, especially as I did have it sent to them, c/o your own email address...anyway/what- or whichever! - hoping all this is indeed now clear & not just as "confused"-sounding as it may appear to be, or look - and/or is indecipherable/or even that old childhood standby, "indingfefferable"?! -plus that "the happy couple" also enjoy & even "get a kick out of" their e-card - & everything else besides, of course! - also hoping, m'dear, to hear from you again a.s.a.p./soonest, both w./ all your own news as usual, and that you're well & not overly-burdened, come to that, meanwhile, m'dear?!
again, w./ lots of love to you & all there,
Vikki, Joe & all here!xxx

Ive not been around these parts for a while but I do peek in now and again to see what's going on with my contacts and chums.

I have quite a weird family and one half sister in particular who drives me crazy, lives in Israel (thank goodness she isnt in the UK) and sends me bizzare and annoying long winded emails. One has just arrived and in order for me to off load it somewhere and get my angry feelings out, Ive decided to bung it on here. She is such a pain in the arse that I couldnt begin to explain why or what goes on and has gone on; just believe me that this email is teeny tiny compared to the usual long winding garbage she usually sends my way.  (I dont think that computers in Israel can have full stops....)

===========

p.s., Dylan! - sorry about this too, but I just remembered that I should've added or "said", just now, that I would've sent you a copy of your e-card, if you don't have a printer yourself, that is? - but it just so happens that, since we don't have a cartridge ourselves, for our colour printer, anyway - that'd be pointless or there simply wouldn't be any point at present; however (or "howsomever", as your late, dear Grandma Renee would've said!), if you so wish, I can send Mum a copy & perhaps she could print one for you, as she does (still) have a printer, doesn't she?...but do let me know anyway, if you should need this, alright? Actually, I'm sending a copy of this to her too, anyway, see above! Thanks...& 'bye for now &, again, love (&, please note: to you too, Lou/lulu-love!)! Vikki.xxx

Subject: happy birthday greetings!



Dear Dylan/(soon-to-be) Birthday Boy! - if you'll excuse the expression, of course!?...hoping this finds you (& Mum, Liz & all there) fit and well; I just wanted to "touch base" & also, please forgive my having just sent you (or rather, American Greetings!*) inadvertently too soon, your "b-day" e-card, though I'd obviously planned for it to arrive next weekend for the actual birthday, the "makers"*, so to speak - as you'll see, apparently not having a list of dates to offer, for the sender to choose from, actually just/simply sent it/said card to you - & rather too promptly, shall we say (as indeed happened with the one I sent your other aunt, Barbara/Bebe, in fact!). In any event & whatever - enjoy, meanwhile, both that and everything else & whatever's going on in your life these days -& also take care, and maybe either call or drop me a line or so, sometime soon, whenever you possibly can, okay? - I'd so love to hear from you & "how you're doing", & specially after all the time that's elapsed since last time we were in contact, that is!



Meanwhile, love to all the family, and your dear Mum/my lovely sister "Lulu" - & to whom I just wrote, remind her! - and all there, of course, as well as yourself with a friendly "hi" to Lizzie too, please!...& "btw", I enjoyed the recent pics. of you two, which Mum sent me not long ago!

Love, Vikki.xxxx

Im enjoying playing with inks and paints and all sorts of things which have NOTHING to do with what I should be doing!

despite the horrid pixelation somewhat caused by youtube and the stray weird image that has appeared out of no-where, at the start of this film, and the fact you have all probably seen much of this before... do have a look if you so desire - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4_UxY7ae7I

I presented it to my fellow students and tutors this week to show where I was at and, in theory, where I might be going...

Ive not posted in here much recently so here is a photo :)

these are talking handbags - open them up and out pops a little voice. Its for a surprise project for my new course.


and with enormous thanks to the lovely richard for his technical help xx

which means the dolls have got to go..
