More from my stash challenge

I have been busy creating again. Apart from the canvas and the little pink & green striped tin all the others are for gifts.

New Look Blog

Well what do you think. Is this a bright enough page. I love it. If you want to update you blog go the link above, choose and follow the instructions. ONE WARNING you will lose all your info and links so wrtie all your link addies down or it will take you hours as it took me to find and upload them all.

BUT I defianately think it was worth it.

The pics today are of my first 8 projects in the January Stash challnege. For the month of January (and beyond if it takes longer) Haylee and I and quite a few other ladies over at Scrap of Faith are doing 25 projects by only using our stash. YES that mean sno buying anything new. For each project we put aside $2.50 so at the end we will have over $50 to buy new stash.

I am hoping to get a few birthday pressies and cards made during this time. As you can see I have made a great start on the cards. I have now made all the cards needed for my January birthdays and a few extra childrens ones.

Other news from this end is that my work was broken into on Thursday night. Our computers - which are also our POS - were stolen along with our safe and a CD player. We havent been able to trade and are hoping to re-open on Monday.

The first pic is of an altered letter holder that I think John may have made at school. Its a bit hard to read but the front says "from the rising of the sun, to the place where it sets, the aame of the LORD is to be praised" Psalm 113:3

















This card was made for my niece Erin's 21st. The following album was also made for erin.

I love how this tissue box turned out, it was quite simple to do and I am hoping to pick up a few more to do after I finish the stash challnege.

This is my collection of cards. Including a gorgeous Kimono for my bestie and a neutral one for my brothers 50th.

New Camera

Hi all - I know its been a long time between updates. I have been incredibly busy. Lots of things have happened since my last post. The biggest I Guess was Christmas.

We had a lovely day - even though 2 members of my family ended up in hospital.

I was extremely spoilt as usual. Lots of choccies nad abth stuff, gorgeous jewellery AND a new camera - an Olympus 790 SW, shock proof and waterproof. So my camera is safe from a herd of wild elephants. I love the added hlep it gives me getting faces right - it has one of those little sqaare thingies that move with the faces.

This morning I have been playing around withthe new software and have finally worked out how to edit pics, a little bit more complicated than Kodak.

These pics are of the roses that I picked yesterday from my graden. I picked enough to fill 4 vases. One pic is taken of them all together on my fireplace, the other pic is the vase showing my large pink roses, these are just beautiful and smell divine. They are now spread inthe different living areas of my home.
