Hello friends
New Year's Eve...already! Felt like only minutes ago I was putting up the Christmas decorations.
(the tree being naked for a week!)
I have so many reasons to celebrate this New Year being on the brink of
opening the studio/shop but I thought it would be nice over the next few days to do a
craft/life recap of 2012.
Best put that kettle on...this looks like a longish blog post!
January 2012
My eldest son Mitchell, turned 18.

It was Spellbinders Blog Frenzy and I created a teapot frame.
February 2012
Very important month...I heard that I was to be on the Spellbinders Design Team for a second year!
I also went a little bit 'book crazy'....
All of these are created from Nestaboard using matching Grand Die Templates
I am running a class to create a Nestaboard book in January and I have a couple of spaces left
it will take place in the New Studio! The details are here or feel free to email me.
March 2012
I flew to Arizona for the Spellbinders Retreat - new flowery luggage.
Met Donna Salazar.

Stumbled upon making tags...! Many many tags followed.
April 2012
I joined the Design Team of Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and my very first project
was a Spring themed envelope gift bag.
And because chocolate is never far from my thoughts I designed
a new wrapping for Easter Eggs.
So that's the first third of 2012. I will be posting the other months over the next few days.
A little shop update...the plaster is beginning to dry!
most definitely creative New Year.
I heard this quote recently....
"Tomorrow, is the first blank page of a 365 page book. Write a good one. "
Love, thanks and best wishes to you all.

Hello Christine. Happy New Year to you and everyone following your blog. Hope you have a good one. Looking forward to more classes and loads more crafting - spoilt at Christmas and got all the d-lites, thanks to c and c pick of the day, plus a couple of others. Can't wait to reclaim the dining room and start playing. Have to wait until at least Thursday though. Along with the resolution for more crafting, I have to lose weight before going to the States in March and more before my niece's wedding in August. Wish me luck. Ju
A very Happy New Year to you and your family too Christine xx
