No rain here, just snow and more snow! Well, it is winter after all I guess! It's -8 below tonight...brrrr. I'm all cuddled up on the sofa with a warm throw and enjoying visiting blogs.

Couldn't even get to my desk but it is looking a bit better after some tidying yesterday - more moving around than getting rid of anything. I was awful this year and didn't make any Christmas cards, I didn't even send a single one. Just had a look at yours and they are really lovely. I particularly like the Holly & Mice one, it's gorgeous. Hope to catch you this year xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02860458786068596778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486899800985001523.post-14097724191514201932016-01-09T16:15:10.820+00:002016-01-09T16:15:10.820+00:00Tee hee, definitely see myself in your brilliant d...Tee hee, definitely see myself in your brilliant ditty!<br /><br />I hope you had a really good Christmas and wish you all the best for 2016.<br /><br />Bet your hubby loved his card. <br /><br />Love Jules xxJuleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17929184623066486028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486899800985001523.post-30439394129900832172016-01-08T21:31:52.145+00:002016-01-08T21:31:52.145+00:00Carole, your ditty (totally awesome - you are sooo...Carole, your ditty (totally awesome - you are sooooo talented!) describes me to a "t"! I did a "sorting" of sorts prior to Christmas, and gave my niece a WHOLE bunch of stamps and inks that I don't use, along with some water-colour pencils (those *had* to go...the stress of having water-colours, trying to use them, creating epic disasters and feeling frustrated has now been alleviated!), papers and her very own acrylic block! Upon returning home, I organized (well, a bit...) my stamps/dies, tossed snippets that really had me puzzling as to why I was keeping them, and did a general tidy up (which may not seem like a great feat, given my 2X3 kitchen counter crafting zone - but it was!. I had good intentions to put myself on a shopping freeze, however...NOT! Some new goodies have arrived, more coming (except for one wee spree, there remainder were honouring gift certificates...and one ought to honour those, right? *grin*). Christmas passed too quickly; indeed, the year did as well! We need 2016 (and 2017, etc. etc.) to slow down! Your card: gorgeous! Beautiful images and a wealth of techniques, from the painting, to the acetate stamping, to the framing. Work of art, my dear! I'm glad you were safe from the floods; my heart goes out to those affected. We had major flooding here a couple years back: awful! I think I've mentioned this before, but heavy rains, or a spate of several days of rain in a row, sees me - and many people here - become quite anxious. Being evacuated (our home is fine...) was nerve-wracking! Hope you've decided to let the chores wait while you play in your craft room; we want to see more works of art from you! I've scouted some challenges, so dash this handsome gem over if you have a chance:<br />Dragonfly Journeys~Birthday: http://dragonflyjourneys.blogspot.ca/2016/01/challenge-no-38-they-say-its-your.html<br />Simon Says Wednesday Challenge!Something New: www.simonsaysstampblog.com/wednesdaychallenge/simon-says-something-new-2/<br />Seize the Birthday~Anything Goes: http://seizethebirthday.blogspot.ca/2015/12/happy-new-year.html<br />Sending you warm hugs and lots of love~c<br /> cmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03929147498832463255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486899800985001523.post-82194593120888693832016-01-08T16:52:03.294+00:002016-01-08T16:52:03.294+00:00Fab, fab, fab, love it!

Ha...That poem describes me perfectly at the moment! Have you been following me around? I've just popped out to the dustbin (again) with a bundle of tiny unopened bags of powder. They may be sparkly embossing powders, they may be glitters, they may be something quite magical. I have no idea as they are unlabelled - and I've had them at least 15 years, so I have no idea how or when I got them. My only worry is that some of them are white, so if the dustmen start rummaging in the bins looking for treasure (or things that should have been recycled) they might get alarmed and call the police. Oh well, it might be fun watching a rogue policeman snorting embossing powder!

Your poem is fantastic. I did LOL at it then called hubby to read it to him as well. I think it sums up most of us. <br /><br />I went to my weekly craft club yesterday and came home with some stuff my friend brought along that she didn't want any more and guess what - she went home with some of mine too!!<br /><br />Your card is absolutely gorgeous Carole. What a lot of techniques put together so well to make a wonderful card.<br /><br />I'm glad to hear that it's just your garden that is so wet. We've been lucky here and our village is on a hill too. I think all our hearts go out to the poor souls <br />who are having to deal with the flood damage.<br /><br />Wishing you a very happy 2016 and lots of fun crafting.

It's not me that ditty you know..... not much anyway!!<br />I saw some blue sky here this morning, so popped on the coat and walked down the hill - didn't walk back up (!!!!) - got OH to collect me on the way back from the supermarket. Yes he IS one of those odd men who don't mind supermarkets!!<br />Anyway Blue Sky didn't last long - home 45 minutes later and now it's raining (for a change - not). At least I got some fresh air - 2 days running and stayed dry whilst out - must be a record.<br />Lovely card too! xVivhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630163773478793676noreply@blogger.com
