January already, well actually 1/2 way through Jan if we're going to be precise !
I want to get back to some 'proper' scrapbooking this year but there are also a hundred & one ideas flitting about but not quite actually gelling into something I can make (iykwim ?) not quite sure where to start so I keep 'not starting'. Must do something infact I will challenge myself today to do a Layout ... watch this space I will upload it if i get one done !
I have accquired through treating myself & christmas, some moonshadow inks & some metallic watercolour paints & I have been playing with them. I have joined a decorated envelope swap & have done 3 of the 5 nescessary, But may go back to them & do 'a bit more' yet .. can't decide !
Think i might go & look for a photograph or two to scrap, catch you later x

Blimey into September already ! ..kids have all gone back to school or pre-school today (hurrah :) )
We went to see a Doctor Who exhibition yesterday .. tooks loads of photographs But now I'm wondering if I can make a Tardis shaped album for my Son, whose birthday treat it was to go !
Will have to play with some design ideas ...quite like the thought of two opening doors on the front, though the idea of an exploding box is quite good Because like the Tradis there's much more in it than you expect .. perhaps I can make a lot's of secret pockets etc in the album ....
will post pictures if I get something sorted out !

Good ... managed to get the three miniature book charms finished today :) must get them posted off over the next couple of days.
I have got a pile of old tins waiting to made-over & a gardening File that is just crying out for some tlc .. But what to do with it ?
I will have to get my thinking cap on or hope for inspiration to strike !

These are the charms I got back from the altered charm swap ... they are lovely, But I still haven't quite decided what to do with them yet :)

Spent the afternoon having a go at a mini charm book for a swap that I have asked to join on UKS. The book can be no larger than 1.5" x 1.25" Plus it must have a charm attached. the pictures you see are the results so far ...
I will need to make 3 for the swap in total, though it has to be said they are very cuuute & I may need to make more !

Well it's now the middle of August. All my swaps have now been returned home & they're gorgeous ! Very pleased with them.
I have managed to get about 5 12x12" LO's done over the last couple of weeks & there are a couple of family birthday's looming so there could be another opportunity or two to do something crafty.
Got a couple of nice canvas's that are waiting for some paint .. perhaps try & get those done !
Got a few new ideas for some jewellery too, so as long as I can find the time there's plenty for me to be having a go at.

Well .what a bad blogger I am ..it's nearly a month since I last posted But I have to say it has been an exceedingly busy few weeks, and quite productive at that !
Cats came & went like all good shows do, ATC & Tag swaps have been completed and sent off, Business is good one way and another so all in all lifes pretty hectic right now.
Have just completed 'On angels wings' ATC swap via UKS, & also a vintage lingerie Tag swap so looking forward to those all coming back !
Jewellery making has been quiet recently with very little time to get on with any projects, But with my holiday looming I have packed up jewellery making supplies, scrapping stuff etc ... perfect time to catch up on some of these things I feel !
