Hello again. Over on Bubbly Funk we are doing a project called '2010 365 calendar Challenge'!! Mine is done as a double page spread on an A4 watercolour pad, which will be cut up and bound together later on!! The 'days' are 4cm squares which are relatively easy to fill up each day!!! So far I am managing to keep up! I didn't post them at the beginning of the month, so thought I would do two months now. Hopefully I will then try and keep up each month!

This must be a record for me - posting so soon after the last one!! On Bubbly Funk we have a 25th Club, where we choose to make so many cards each month and post them up before the 25th. As I've not been out much over the last couple of weeks as I've had a chest infection, I have all ready done mine for this month! I chose 2 a month, but I ended up making 4!!

On Bubbly Scrumptious at the moment, there is a challenge to follow a sketch and make 'something' with it!! I made a card and wasn't overly impressed with it, so made an atc as well, and here they both are!!

Hopefully I will be back soon, so thanks for looking!!

I think my New Year resolution ought to be to blog more!!!! It seems a long time ago that I was last here, so I thought I'd get back in the swing of it by showing you the fabulous handmade cards that I got from my lovely friends on Bubbly Funk for my birthday a couple of weeks ago!!

Maybe I'll start the new year by showing you some of the Christmas cards - when I take them down!!! In the meantime, whether you are celebrating tonight by going out, or by stopping in, have a lovely evening and a Very Happy New Year to you all!!

Hello again! Another long gap between posts!! I really must try and do better!! I've done lots of swaps in the last few months and will try and take photos and post them! My main news is that I have started driving lessons!!!! Better late than never! I have had two so far and have really enjoyed them. I have two more this week - tomorrow and Thursday. Wish me luck!!

Yesterday we went to the scrapbook show at Alexander palace. Always a great day out. My daughter and I met up with three friend for lunch which was really nice. Can't wait till the next retreat girls!! We had a good old catch up and lots of laughs. As usual I spent far too much but really enjoyed doing it!!! Here is a photo of my stash and my daughter and our friends!


Hope to be back soon! Bye for now. x

I have now finished the 'Not So Big Jiggy' swap - the 8 x 8" version!! I am putting it on here so that it can be looked at or not!! I know some people like a surprise!

Today, the postman brought me my 12 x 12 jigsaw. It is absolutely fab, but one of the pieces doesn't fit. It looks like one person's jigsaw was numbered wrongly by the host, in which case everyone's will be the same!!! Don't know what will happen now!!!!
