It's Good to be Back

Where do the days and weeks go, I have missed Blogging but Life has just got in the way lately.

I also have to confess to my Mojo being lost since New year, I think I got so many crafty items for Christmas that my brain went into confused mode. I didn't know what to use first so didn't use any, instead I sat and looked at it all. How many of you have been in that situation.. I bet quite a few of you. I got so many New LOTV stamps that I spent a full wk just stamping them ready to use. I will catch up with all your lovely blogs ASAP.

First Let me show you my first challenge card of 2011. It features of course LOTV ... but it is a stamp I bought last year so not one of my Christmas pressies.

The LOTV Challenge is Thing with Wings, don't have a stamp with wings on ..........YET but hope my papers and Butterfly count. My papers are from "The Nancy Watt Collection" from Making Cards, which is my very favourite Mag. LOTV Image of course which I am hooked on, extras from craft box.

I am also entering it in FlutterBy Wednesday Challenge 138 I have just been told of this Lovely Blog and I would say if you haven't stopped by it then you are missing a great challenge blog.

Thanks for looking and for any Comments, I am always very grateful for your interest and time.

Hugs Mau xx

Happy New year Everyone

Well here we are in 2011, Where did the Last year go! It had its high points, but very difficult ones mainly. Here's to a good year for us all. I wish you all everything thats good and most of all

I wish for Good health for you all.

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas, and that Santa called on you...I am sat here using a new Laptop that Santa brought me, He is a wonderful silver haired Santa and I Love him to bits.

I hope you got lots of new crafty bits and that you are full of Inspiration, I look forward to seeing your new ideas and the beautiful creations you all produce, You never fail to inspire me with your talent.

I got some new items I have never used before, as they are new techniques to me I need to try them and practice. My first trial will be my Air Gun for my Pro-Markers which I will try later today.

I am off to shop now, but I will catch up with everyones blogs ASAP, It should be easier now with my new faster lappy, shame it didn't come with faster typing skills...lol

Huge Hugs Mau xx
