Happy New Year Crafty Friends.......... What will be in store this Year.

Happy New Year Everyone, Hope you all had a lovely Christmas. Our's was very quiet and relaxed as both Sons, were away working. So just the Girls and Grandson this year. I was spoit, as I received a real surprise this year from Mr S, A wireless printer. Meaning I can print straight from my phone. Super Cool, and a shock as I was expecting a kitchen item. Which he lead me to beleive, I had guessed right!

Also we treated ourselfs to a coffee maker, in the January sales, so latte at the ready, I'm hoping to be even more productive this year!!!! Ive been getting started on Valentines work, I've been inspired by all the loving new products out there. With CHA coming up this weekend, its only going to get even better. Ive been seeing, sneaky peeks from Ranger. Exciting goodies from Mr Holtz, New Inkpads, Storage for Distress Crayons, and Stamps..... etc

This is using the Inlay tecnique, where you use more than one die, (3 in this case) and fit them together. I ran this through my bigshot, to create a smooth finsh. It means you get much more out of your dies, combining them together in this way.

a few more designs as these are being sold in a local florist, she likes to have many different designs to offer her customers. Ive 200, to make by 14th Feb. So i'm a busy bee at the moment. I made a few resolutions this year, will i be able to keep to them, we will have to see. More organising in the Craftroom, More Bible Study, More Blogging, More Crafty Work, Less Stress Using Yoga, Heathy Eating, and Excercise....... Last two maybe easyier said than done. My Year has certainly started nicely, so far after winning the Hero Arts Giveaway on Michelle Shorts Blog, www.cardgrotto.com she is now on the Hero Arts DT, well done Michelle, you deserve it. Ive loved her work for many years and the fact shes here in the uk, she list products we can get our Hands on. I won some amazing Hero Arts Infinity Dies, Circles and Rectangles and will be putting them to good use in the next few weeks.

So not a bad start to the year as you can see. Hope your all having a Crafty New Year, and Will catch up soon God Bless Jo xxx
