It has been a big year 2010, with all of us pretty healthy and working hard, so I pray that 2011 brings us the same .My only resolution for 2011 is to be more organised with my finances and start thinking about Christmas earlier, so that I don't leave myself broke, like I have this year.
I feel 2011 will be a good one, and I wish you all the best , with lots of love and laughter, and good times in the year ahead.
My first go at Kraft it Up challenges...I have been really pumping out the LO's using Kraft the last few months, so thought, why not join this great Challenge Blog . Have had this Kaiser paper sitting around for so long, so thought I would use it up for this challenge.I also used Melinda's paper curling technique.
This one I started before all the Christmas rush and just put the finishing touches to it, mostly the journalling.I so love the yummy masculine colours of this Cosmo Cricket range.I want more!!!!
WISHING EVERYONE a very HAPPY , SCRAPPY 2011!!!!!!!!

and all the other amazingly talented girls on the DT

Creating time has been a bit few and far between in the last month.I have been busy at work and also creating a couple of OTP items as teacher gifts for two special teachers this year. So here they are
This next LO below has turned out so well, and I reckon that has a lot to do with some yummy goodness used on it. The crocheted doily and trim comes from the clever Miss Marg who has a little online blog called Bits and Pieces .Sadly she has sold out , but I am sure she will have plenty more coming really soon, so keep checking back in the coming days/weeks.Definitely worth the wait.
Now the other piece of goodness is the lovely sheer green leaf which I was sent by the gorgeous Mandy , which I have had sitting there just waiting for the perfect LO...and there it is.Fits perfectly.Thanks girls for spoiling me
My exciting news has not been forgotten , just haven't been able to say, but keep your eyes peeled over the coming week, because I will reveal.
