A random picture of happy times in Las Vegas... where we had our honeymoon albeit 5 months late, in 2005. What a great place to spend New Year, that is on my wish list. I lurve Vegas! Also on my wish list:
I love paper cutting... I havent done any for such a long time. I gave these as Christmas presents a few years ago.... this survived the 3,800 miles journey in a crate from USA home to England. Paper is so durable.... no wonder it lasts centuries. Ciao
Heres what dropped through my letterbox the other day..... Somerset Studio's Art Journaling. I really lurve this magazine ( I lurve them all!)
I wanted something for a Christmas Centre piece.. I have been looking for ages & i saw this mannequin made from gold sequin wire, then i found the lights and hey presto..... my centre piece! its something i can use again or seperately. I love different! Ciao
Thought I'd share this photo of some poor ducks looking for somewhere to swim. The photo was taken in Ann Arbor, Michigan 2 Winters ago... we had a pond on the bottom of the road where we lived, a great place to watch the wildlife especially the ducks anytime of the year..... it was particularly cold (understatement!!!) 2008/9 & the pond was frozen.... now if you want cold, snow and chill factor Michigan is the place to go!!!!!! Ciao
This is what I made for Dyan who is Art from the Heart an amazingly creative woman.... as she is into Journalling and loves quotes I found this on Amazon called 'The Poets Notebook. On each page there is a quote or a prompt... its wonderful. So went off to Harrogate for a workshop at AFTH, with a wonderful set of creative souls we had a wonderful, expressive time with lots of laughing. I forget everything except the wonder of drawing, painting and being me! wish i could be there every day............. Dyan may think differently! lots of tea, warm feelings and i made a cake...... & i bought lovely crafting goodies. A great, wonderful, amazing day. 
Here are stamps designed by the talented Jenny Doh...... i read on her blog Crescendoh that she is leaving Stampington & Co and going on to ventures new called CrescenDOH.com so i'm spreading the word. Jenny kindly replied to an email i sent her ....... she is so busy, i was thrilled. Off out tonight to a Masonic Christmas dinner so will be able to dress up in heels. yippee. Ciao
Here are my designs for Christmas cards 2010, using Blonde Moments papers and stamps, used coloured paints to make baubles, stamp for sentiment and table confetti stars stuck on ...... the pictures make them look a bit brighter. Anyway thats what friends and family are getting. Some are already winging their way around the globe to various friends, sent with love. I miss them but they are always in my heart and i laugh at the things we got up to. On to Robins now...when walking back from town yesterday, I was privileged to watch a Robin having a bath in a puddle, having a great time. I felt as though everything had stopped and i was lost in another world...... i didnt even feel cold! I've seen several Robins today which is great, perhaps a good portent for 2010, better times ahead. Ciao
Well would you believe it i actually got a photo to upload today....... computers are marvellous when they work....cos i'm feeling cold and tired i thought if i thought of lovely things like handbags i would feel better. Not sure if its working yet. The above is my 1st page in my Journal...
