Latest creations ...

It's certainly been chilly in these parts!  It's so cosy to stay indoors and potter away with my scraps and paper.  I even got to re-organise some of it and discovered things I'd forgotten about!!

I'd really like to get my christmas cards done well before December this year - so, with 21 weeks to go, if I want to make 100 cards, I need to complete around 5 per week - quite achievable!  Just need to get myself organised - I'll keep you updated!

I've been continuing on with my creating and here are some of the things I have done -

I love doing these vintage cards!

This was one I started at the SIA Trade Show 2 years ago!

Thought I's share this fun image also!!

Till next time ...

Really getting in to it!

It has been a busy week or so and I didn't get any scrapping done last weekend but I am certainly on a roll ... and loving it!

It's been quite a cold winter in Melbourne so far - we've been spoilt over the past few years with only a few cold days - but I am so thankful for our wonderful heater that keeps me very comfortable.

Even though I have lots to do, work wise, I find that being able to get out of my left brain and into my right brain to create, helps me to be more productive all around!  So, work doesn't suffer, I don't suffer and the rest of the household doesn't suffer!

Here are my latest layouts...

Till next time ...

Mojo's returned ...

It's a funny thing isn't it - creativity!  There are times when it seems such a struggle to get the juices going and to happily create ... and then there are the wonderful times when everything seems to flow and it's all too simple!

Well, thank goodness my mojo has returned and I am delighting in being able to get out the photos and go with the flow.  Perhaps it is also to do with the early nightfall and the cold nights when it is cosy to be able to set myself up in my room, keep warm and potter around to my heart's content!

Anyway, enough of the sentiments, here are some of the layouts I have created for the NCJS challenges ...

So while the iron's hot ...

Till, next time ...

It feels so good ...

... to do some scrapping again.  I must have been on a roll as I have completed 6 layouts in the past 3 days - not at all like me!  The challenge at NCJS has inspired me to do something.

I think I am getting back into the swing of things with my room setup - still not enough space to store things and it does take me a while to find things sometimes - but it is feeling good.

Maybe the cold weather is enticing me to stay inside and create rather than wandering down to coffee shops for a Latte or Flat White!

Here are some of the layouts I have completed - my camera battery ran out before I took photos of them all.

Hope to get some more loaded tomorrow.

Till next time ...

Some creating at last!

Has anyone else has a problem with their Christmas Countdown widget?  I tried to open this blog the other day only to receive a warning about malware and it's potential to harm my computer.

Being on a Mac I felt confident it would be okay so I opened it up and lost my wireless mouse!  I don't know if this was the cause but it was a pain - I'm lost without my mouse.  I don't know the commands to navigate the computer.

Anyway - I had another mouse which I finally got to work and was then able to get rid of the Siggies Christmas Countdown.  Apparently it was creating havoc on other blogs too.  A pity, it was a nice one too!

Well I have finally got my hands dirty!  What a wonderful feeling to spread out my bits and pieces and enjoy making these altered notebooks.

It's a great way to use up my scraps, ribbons, embellishments and odds and sods that I have collected over the years.

I have a heap to decorate and now I'm on a roll!

So, till next time ...
