HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi everyone!

As the festivities are finally over, the washing up's done and the tree's safely stashed away in the shed for another year - 2019 can begin in crafty earnest!

I hope lots of you had some lovely crafty presents this Christmas.

Personally, my family won't buy me any as they prefer to surprise me with things I didn't know I needed and do you know what? 

I always do!!!

Apparently, I have too much "stuff", according to them, so no crafty stash has come my way but that's not a problem as I know this will happen so I always treat myself to something anyway! Hahaha!

So, my quick post is just to wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year and I pray that 2019 brings us all a little peace and light into our lives.

Love n hugs

Nearly there!

Hi everyone!
A super quick post with a couple of updates today.
1 = It's nearly Christmas
2 = I'm nowhere near finishing my Christmas cards/presents/shopping......or anything else really!!!
What a palaver!
Anyhoo, there's no specific reason except I do find myself faffing about when I know I should be making and creating and, just because Christmas comes nearer every day, I seem to faff more and more!
I have been a bit busy really. Our Jo from Luv Crafts is back on Hochanda next wednesday and I've been making DT samples for that and I've had my usual monthly project for Papercraft Inspirations
to make too and that is usually a tricky one as I like to create something a little different to the normal cards and stuff!
So, as for Christmas? Maybe I could do better next year?
(I seem to remember thinking something similar last year!!!!)

Have a great Run-Up-To-Christmas and I hope to come back with some pictures and creations etc before the big day!

Woohoo! It's a Win!!!

Hi all!
I cannot believe I have not blogged since Halloween!!!!
I have been really busy with my DT work for LuvCrafts and, if you've a mind to, you could pop over to the blog or Facebook page and have a look at what we've been up to lately!
So, todays post is a nice one! I have won a prize in the Card Maker of The Year competition, held every year by the Craft magazine industry.
I was selected as one of the 10 runners up in the comp and, although it's not the main prize we all aim for, it is a good one!
My gift was a Go Press and Foil Deluxe machine and, as I don't already own one, it will come in very handy :)

I sent in 3 cards for the chance to win and this is one they picked as their favourite .....

I used a TiddlyInks image here ,Wryn on cloud 9, as I used to do some DT work for them and I just love these "Wryns" so it made me really happy to see I'd won a prize with her!

Winners are announced in this months issue (190) of Cardmaking and Papercraft.

So, there's my news in  a nutshell!
I'll enter again next year and hope my work has improved for an even better result!

Don't forget to pop over to the LuvCrafts blog or Facebook page and have a look at what I, and the other DT members, are getting up to lately!

Have a great weekend

TTFN
