I'm Back!

Well this has been a bit of an extended hiatus, a break from blogging .....in all the years of writing this blog, I have never neglected it for this long before.
As I mentioned, Mike has had a lot of health problems over the past fifteen months, many hospital admissions and endless outpatient appointments at various hospitals. It has been a bit relentless, and something had to give, so I made an executive decision with the board of Going Buggy (me and the wall 😂) that I would be kind to myself and have a break over the summer, so I stepped down temporarily from a couple of design teams, and gave blogging a break.

I am happy to say that things are on a bit more of an even keel now, Mike is doing well, I am more relaxed and have developed a passion for gardening. I am grateful for many things, the wisdom and expertise of all the cardiac teams at various hospitals, having a husband who is uncomplaining, easygoing and stoic in very difficult circumstances, grateful for the gorgeous long sunny days we have had here this summer, and very grateful for all those of you who have been in touch with me when you were concerned by my silence. Thank you

But here I am, back again all set to go.....

I am just sharing a couple of cards made for Fiskars over the summer, but it has been a busy week in 'En's Den' and I have quite a few projects on the go to share with you now that I am getting back into the swing of things....




I hope you have all had a great summer - it's good to be back! xx

  4. Glad your Hubby is doing good. That is always a good thing.
    I love gardening but don’t do much anymore. I even have a hard time pulling weeds anymore.
    Happy that you are back. I knew your husband was having some problems and just thought that is why you were away.

  12. Hi Enfys, so happy to see your post today!!! I love the colorful butterfly card! I hope Mike continues to do well. Gardening is very therapeutic. I unfortunately catch poison ivy nearly every time I try to do the simple yard work! My rose bushes are covered in vines, I hope to tackle them when the weather gets cooler.

  13. I know that breaks are good for us, from time to time, we all need them. So, I think you and the Going Buggy Executive Committee (walls included) made a wise decision on that one. However, having said that, I have truly missed you and am beyond delighted to see a post from you again. These cards are so fun ... I love the bright, beautiful colors you've used on both of them. That fabulously colorful butterfly card is singing to my heart - I love it!

    I am happy to hear that Mike is doing well, I know that weighs heavily on you ... here's to his continued improvements. Sending oodles of love and hugz your way! Carol xxx

  16. My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. here is his Email: emutemple@gmail.com or call/text him on his WhatsApp +2347012841542
