Happy New Year

Hmm it's been a while! Real life has been rather in the way! However the craft fairs I was so busy preparing for at half term were a success. Not sure I'll do many more as I find it hard to meet deadlines but I'll certainly look for more outlets for my work!

I've made a couple of resolutions for 2014 - do something creative every week even if only for a short while and to do my regular evenings with friends at least once a month! I am going to try to only buy things I really 'need'! I'm also going to put my phone down more and spend more time with my boys! Not sure how I'll do all that with 2 jobs and a busy home but the last one is I guess the most important so will prioritise that!

My favourite creative piece I did over the Christmas holidays was this banner - it'll be the focus of my first craft evening at the end of January!

I stuck to the Brights colour collection and kept it pretty simple but I really love it and so do my family which is lucky as I think they'll see it at every occasion we have at home for a while!

So, sale-a-bration and the new spring summer catalogue are nearly upon us. I love lots of the new things - referring back to my resolution I'm going to be prudent about how much I get but I did manage to get the mini banner set from my sale-a-bration preorder!

I cased something from pinterest and tried to give it a twist! What do you think?

melon mambo and black! The stamp set and the co-ordinating punch are both free with orders over £45 from the end of Jan to the end of March. What is not to love about that! Check out my online store if you want to get anything or contact me direct. You can also still get some great bits in the clearance section as well.
Hopefully I'll post again soon! Happy creating!
