Hello, again

Have a week off work this week and have finally got round to getting this newsletter started for work. I kept nagging people to give me input and one of the ideas was to have a staff profile to show customers we aren't all robots! So.. I have been chasing around to get my Manager to answer some questions...I felt like a reporter..taking a picture of him and asking questions ha! Now, I can finally crack on as I want my first issue completed by the beginning of April.

Today has been a day of getting things done. My car insurance is now renewed for next week, our passport applications are ready to be sent off, I've got the info I need to crack on with my newsletter project and the car has had a much needed clean, though goodness knows how on earth I am going to shift those Dalmation hairs out of the upholstery!

Finally, I am going to end today with a trip to The Watermill at Ings for some good grub and I might even have a pint of local ale...mmmmm. I'll share with you my newsletter once it is done.

New stuff

At work I volunteered to create a newsletter to give out to customers. Well, you've got to keep practicing your art haven't you? We used to have one going when I started working there, but it kind of fizzled out and I see this as my latest project, plus, I have free range on the design and layout too, which is excellent.

I also noticed another opportunity to design a poster advertising a competition for customers to win a trip to Madrid. So those are now up on the walls, I'll post a piccy on my book work blog linked to this one as soon as I take one.

Also, with Mother's day in a few days I'm going to design a card for my Mum, more personal and all that.

Watch this space for more projects as they happen...

Long time...

Well, I'm back again..

Trying to get back into the blogging malarkey. Since my last post..all excited about the new job etc I've been getting frustrated and wanting to get back to my creative roots so the new job hunt begins. I'm still at Natwest, for now. Keeps the money coming in doesn't it. I'm still living in Kendal, t'other half has got himself a job finally, so hopefully we'll have our own place by the end of the year..I set realistic targets you see!

This year I'm hoping big plans will pan out and I'll do my best to keep you posted.

Follow me on twitter if you want, I seem to be on there mostly http://www.twitter.com/Chescaw

T'ra for now!
