Another "New" Post

I don't know how I've been able to get so much done lately, but I'm on a roll!!

I wanted to share a few more cards and tags for today. I've been trying even more new techniques! Have a look and see what you think.

An actual "NEW" post

As much as I tried to stay away from this .....I couldn't....and I didn't really want to..

I was busy taking classes and re-evaluating my style. I always made cool tags but I wasn't

always happy with my cards. I thought they needed something more. So I worked and researched and experimented until I came up with a style I like. Apparently, I did okay because other people like it too!

So, after all this time I'm just going to post away and hopefully someone will enjoy what I'm doing.

I'm very excited about having one of my new cards featured on the Cards Blog. It's something I've been working on for a while and they featured another one!! Here it is along with some other new items!! Hope you enjoy!

I'd also like to share some other new items that I'll be listing in my Etsy shop very soon!

how not to blog!!!

yes, this is definitely "How not to blog" ....by neglecting your blog for the month of january ....but I have been busy coming up with new ideas for things to create. I've been trying new things and also, patiently waiting for my new Letterpress to arrive!! I've been experimenting and playing with it and can't wait to show off the new stuff!!

I promise I will blog more frequently now.... but it's wasn't one of my resolutions!! I guess that makes it easier to accomplish. It is something I enjoy!!

I also wanted to comment on this little notice from Photobucket!! I've noticed it on other blogs and sites as well. It's a nasty way to try to get people to sign up to the website. I've never used photobucket so I'm not sure what's up with that. I guess there are lots of different ways to try to get business to your site - that is one way that I'm not impressed with and I'm sure many other people aren't either. Calling them out might be the only way to stop them!!!

Anyway, on to more important things....pics to come soon to show you what I've been up to!!

Ciao for now!!!

OWLS FOR CHRISTMAS

While we're on the subject of Owls I also wanted to share this wool felt ornament that I made a while ago. I wanted to put him in my shop but I borrowed the pattern and I just want to share him because he turned out so cute.

Another great addition to my Christmas packages!!

I have been meaning to share my news and post a new blog for a long time now.

Everyone is crazy busy right now with the holiday season fast approaching.

I'm so excited about this and I have to share it. Lately, I've been submitting cards and tags for challenges on the Card Trends Blog. You know, the magazines or small books that you see at the book stores. The other ones in the series are Handmade (which is awesome), Scrapbooking Trends, Beads and Cards!!! I love their magazines so I checked out the blog and I've been submitting my work!!

It finally paid off and they accepted my Christmas Owl Jumbo Tag submission!!

Be sure to check out the blog - it's full of wonderful and talented artists!!

Here's a pic of my winning Jumbo tag. I think they really add a special touch to my holiday packages. Everyone I know will be gettting one of some kind. As I make different ones I'll post them.

love small houses

I know this is an odd thing to blog about but I love small houses with great architectural features. When I go walking or driving around the city I love to stop and take a picture of smaller homes. I love houses that look like they have sunrooms or smaller rooms at the back of the house. Some are one and a half storey with a loft upstairs. I love to imagine how I would decorate one of these houses. Here's a pic of one of my favorites.

isn't this one gorgeous!! I Love the narrow windows on either side of the door and the moulding around the door. I could move right in. Here's another one in the same neighbourhood!

The one on the left isn't really small but i love the architecture because it's an older home. The brick work around the door and the angel stone under the window really add to it.

I'll share more pics from more of my walks. I got a dirty look from one of the neighbours but it was worth it. These houses are great!!
