Hello friends
New Year's Day!
New Year's Day!
Anyone with a dull head this morning from seeing in the New Year?
Yesterday a little more progress in the studio/shop - this is my eldest son, Mitchell
and my Dad stripping wallpaper. This is going to be my craft room and I'm planning to put
wallpaper on one wall and paint the other three. Still waiting for that ceiling to dry!
In the evening we visited my existed studio because it has a great view of the River Thames and
the boats let off flares and fireworks. We packed up champagne, nibbles and.....Bella!
I obviously couldn't leave her at home.
This was taken in my studio at 1am this morning and she looks a little partied out!
That champagne bottle is empty...not sure how that happened so fast.
Back to today and continuing with craft/life recap here is another couple of months...

May 2012
I managed to go away..twice!
First, a weekend - Henley on Thames and Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey)
It rained...a lot!
And then off to sunshine in Turkey.
Friday Die Days continued....using old book pages for Aster Flower Topper
and this card proved very popular when I created it for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.
June 2012
I participated in the Spellbinders Sneak Peek of the Summer CHA release
and created this card using Asian Accents and Motifs.
I got to play with the Christmas release dies and created a tree ornament using Frosty Forms
and etching cream.
And it was Bella's first birthday!
So another couple of months done and dusted - quite a few more to go!
I've left it right to the last to announce my special news!
Today is the day I can officially tell you that I have joined the
Julianna has designed various dies for Spellbinders which I love and I am honoured
that she has asked me to join her very talented team.
I will be creating not just papercrafting projects but beads and jewellery too.
There is a blog post all about it here and, as always,
I so appreciate it if you are able to leave a comment.
Enjoy your New Year's Day - we are all having dinner at my parents today -
salmon en croute - another yummy!
Take care friends and thank you for all your kind New Year wishes -
you are all so supportive and brilliant!
Jenny L - your e-card was really lovely!

I have loved all the cards etc. you have made and just wanted to know where did you get the 'Happy Birthday' stamp you have on the bottom of the Asian Accents card.
I have been looking for this type for ages.
