My last post as substitute GrammaStamper; where do I begin?
I suppose I should tell you a bit about GrammaStamper and me. She, of course, spends much of her day making cards, provided ‘Coronation Street’ isn’t on. I have left the craft room pretty much as she had it prior to her surgery. She likes it that way and I’m really not allowed in there anyway. Of course I cleaned it while she was away; that goes without saying. As usual, every week I wash the floor, dust the chandelier, and keep the pillows properly ‘fluffed’. Her craft room is shown, left.
I have my desk in area in the back of the house. It’s a wee bit smaller than hers but I don’t mind. I get enough light as there is a window right beside me. (Actually the word ‘window’ may be incorrect as there is no glass there, just a hole in the wall which I board up when it rains.) At night, sometimes she gives me a candle so I can continue working even after the sun goes down. I usually wear my ‘hoodie’ as it can get chilly in there. We have considered heating it but I’m told it would interfere with her purchasing stamping supplies. Besides, you can’t really tell by the picture, but Hank is sleeping in my coat and he helps me to keep warm.
You may note by the picture that I do not have my own computer, just the quill you see. Doing these posts is fabulous as I have been using her computer to post all these messages, and her room is heated. (And I know Hank’s been in here as there are toasted mouse-parts on the floor. I assume he had a party or something. Of course, I’ll clean it up before Barb returns.) Eventually we might get another computer but I’m told, again, it would restrict stamping purchases so I don’t mention it anymore. The same goes for socks and shoes, which is why I like the full height of my desk.
I am so looking forward to tomorrow when Barb returns. I’m not positive if she’ll post an entry in this blog right away but I’m sure she’ll make herself known. She hasn’t had the use of her computer for over two weeks and I’m sure she’s suffering ‘withdrawal’. And besides, I might be allowed to have one of those Golden Chips I got for her, assuming some fall on the floor.
Well, that’s it for me. The next entry here will be GrammaStamper’s. I really loved the opportunity to do this and love the way you all have supported her.
You deserve a round of applause.
My warmest regards to you all.

Thanks for all the updates and enjoy having her home tomorrow!! :0)
Thank you so much for the daily update! Have a great day.
I'm so glad you dust the chandelier for her. One has to keep up appearances even when a bit under the weather. Please don't forget the mint on her pillow tomorrow night. I've so enjoyed visiting with you grampastamper.
I know I cannot abide dusty chandeliers and unfluffed pillows. You are so good to keep the palace as her royal highness left it.
You are a dearheart for all of the fun you've provided us. Thank you SO MUCH for you fun, entertaining, informative and educational updates. Barb's a lucky gal to have you. Of course it goes without saying that YOU are a lucky guy to have her!
Big hugs to you, Hank and especially Barb. I'm so glad she'll be home in your arms SOON!
Only one more sleep!
