Time for a Catch-Up!

Did promise to blog about the few bits and pieces I made during my absence...so here goes!
I have mentioned before that I am part of a 'Circle Journal', and have shown you the first two pages I did, but that means that there are two missing!!
Here is the page I created for Tracey back in October...


...and also the tag that accompanies it..



This month I have had the pleasure of working on a page for the lovely Catherine. She has also done the She Art class, so I hoped she would appreciate my attempt at 'Family Art'!! Have to say, boys are MUCH harder to create that girls!!
Anyway, here is my finished page...


...and the tag...



I was also asked by a friend to make some pictures for her grandson's bedroom. She really wanted some simple shapes, so it was quite nice to get back to die-cuts...not used them for ages...and I drew and the hand cut the apple as I didn't have a die of anything that started with 'A'!!





I've also had a couple of birthdays......made this card for a friend...



...and this one for Bethany...



Unfortunately, Bethany has been quite unwell and spent quite a bit of time at home last term, so we tried a bit of crafting together and spent a very pleasant afternoon making She Art girls!
Here's Bethany's...


...pretty good for a first attempt, I think!....and here's mine...


...I really do have the most bizarre dreams at times, which my family take great joy in ribbing me about, so I thought the words were highly appropriate!!

....and finally, when the lovely, lovely Ann asked me to do a page in her journal I was delighted to oblige!!! I am in there with the likes of  Gez and Dyan, so I had a lot to live up to, but I was very pleased with my pages....and more importantly....so was Ann!!!


...well, I think that's me, just about up to date! I have a new journal page to do, so the old cogs are having a bit of a turn!! Watch this space!!!

Thanks for looking...

A VERY BELATED......

....HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all!!! Yes!! I'm back....really don't know where the last 2 months went to!! I am determined to complete my 366 Challenge with the amazing Kate Crane this year. I started 2 years ago and got exactly half way...crashing out at the end of June! But not this year....oh, no!! Myself, my mum and my daughter settled down on Saturday afternoon in the Craft room and now have all done our January pages!
...and here is mine...



I am quite pleased with it ......and Bethany has even suggested we get started on February very soon!! With my track record this probably a VERY good idea!!
Have done a few bits and pieces in my blog-land absence, which I will try and post in the next few days!

It's good to be back.....I shall shortly be going for a look around all the blogs that I haven't visited for a while....but, sadly, the ironing is calling me first!!

Thanks for looking
