where has this year gone, christmas is almost here
i haven't even started making christmas cards yet,
i have had a busy and eventful year, but haven't really felt i have achieved anything
and the fact i haven't been blogging since Jan proves it...  sorry.
we has most of the winter in Darwin, with a short stay in Bali, it was fabulous
then had a busy couple of months preparing for a 3 day Craft fair, which turned out to be very successful for me, i am currently trying to sort out and clear out my workspace, most of my paper stuff has been stored in boxes in our shed/workshop for 3 to 5 years
its has turned into a much bigger job than i had planned  :o(

and the winner is

Celeste


i am sorry its taken so long to announce the winner

we finally we got the computer sorted then we got hit with the tassie floods
the house wasnt underwater but the rest of the paddocks, creeks and roads here were awash we were flooded in with no power and water
thanks
Gail

it is AMAZING stuff to use
my first lot i spilled :o(
after saving as much as i could, i made some resin filled bezels that i had got ages ago

here are some of the things i am making for Christmas presents, the little birds nests i made ages ago and didn't know what i wanted to do with them until today,

where do the days go,
I have been extremely busy with my grandchildren and their mum who live with us
so no time to blog or do any crafty stuff.
have a show coming up so i am madly trying to get things done,
all my displays are painted fresh ready
here are some new things i have been playing with some hairclips, quick and easy cards using crafty individuals stamps and images and miniature books

some more cards

4 little boxes, decorated using paint, inks and Crafty Individuals rubberstamps and images

finally found some time to actually make something other than glass beads or jewelry, these are cards made using paint, cuttlebug embossed frames and Crafty Individuals rubberstamps and images

altered paper bag using Crafty Individuals Rubber stamps

decorated paper gift bag using Crafty Individuals Rubberstamps

its been a while since i posted, its been a busy time for us with the babies here,I finally have been trying to do some new arty stuff, made lots of beads now i have actually finished a couple of quick cards today! one using Crafty Individuals stamp images and another with an Oxford Impressions stamp.

New Beads, black and cream!

I haven't had much torch time lately,

But! there is nothing like a deadline to get me on the torch,

I have a wedding this week,

 i wanted  black and cream accessories to match my dress

so i made these, just need to make them into a necklace and bracelet!

before i head off to Melbourne for the Creative Soul Arts Retreat for 2 days metal/jewelry workshops

then on to Cairns/Townsville for a few days break.

Hi everyone, am on a roll, have finally got my second blog up and running, got sidetracked when my daughter and her 2 babys came to live last year. So hopefully a website will be coming soon...
here is my blog for my papercraft and stamps, I love the stamp companies Oxford Impressions and Crafty Individuals, you can view their websites at these addresses www.oxfordimpressions.com/ and www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/
I currently have most of Crafty Individuals stamps and other products in stock, or available by order as are Oxford Impression are also available by order.
I will be uploading some of my work that features my favourite stamps from these companies.
