Happy New Year to all of my gorgeous blog friends. Ok we are eight days into 2011 but im trying ok!!!.
I made this for my lovely friend Amanda's Birthday this week.
So did anyone get any yummy crafty stash for Christmas??? i have been surfing all of the sales on the crafty websites and have bagged some bargains with money i received. Just wish they could keep the prices down all of the time, especially with the recent VAT increase, grrr!!!.
Not sure about you but it is so nice not being pressured to make Christmas cards anymore. It is lovely just to have a play and start using all of those stamps and materials that have been neglected or unused over the past few weeks.
Saying that though me and KERYN have kind of made a pact to make Christmas cards (or card hopefully!) and put our creation on our blogs once a fortnight. That way we will be way ahead for Christmas 2011 which is bound to creep up as quickly as 2010.
Promising to get around to see your blogs everyone and make sure im HERE more often and actually taking pics of my work and posting!!!.
Bye for now, back soon.
