Trying to keep up ...

I don't suppose there is anyone else out there who has big ideas, starts things and then realises that it may all be too much to handle?  Of course not I hear you say!!  It just seems that experience and age don't dampen my enthusiasm - I constantly dream up great ideas and truly believe that I can achieve them ... then I scramble to do it all!!

Working has kept me busy during the day, I'm pretty tired at night and my good intentions feel overwhelming.

What am I talking about?  Doing my 365 Project, getting cards, albums and calendars made for the market, starting a Gratitude Blog and making sure I keep this blog up to date.  Alas, it happens, but not as I intended and more erratically than I hoped!  Still, it happens!

Here is a sample of the Vintage Calendar that I am working on at the moment.  Really need to finish it as January is nearly over!

Till next time ...

Vintage Cards

I love the old vintage photos and they make such a wonderful 'embellishment'.  I have spent alot of time searching for images that I love and have been busy making some cards.  It's fun to gather all the different bits and pieces - and the paper, it's absolutely gorgeous!  I found some Grace taylor paper the other day and was amazed when i paid for it that it was only half the price I thought it was!!

Here are a some cards I have completed.

So, till next time ...

Getting ready to sell

Well, having been busy making some altered albums, I am now ready to upload them to both Madeit.com.au and Etsy (just need to work out shipping costs!!).  If anyone knows how it works, especially for Etsy, please let me know!

I love albums/notebooks and it is inspiring to write in one that I totally love.  I am also in love with the vintage/shabby chic look so I am trying to create albums that represent this style.

I am also making some vintage cards to sell.

Here are a few of my albums ...

These are the first I have completed.  More coming!

So, till next time ...
