Just a  very quick note today  to wish everyone a very happy, healthy and crafty 2026!

I am writing this on my tablet in a motel room in Adelaide. We decided to have a few days away   -  tonight we are booked for dinner in an Italian restaurant and then intend seeing the fireworks. Perhaps these will be the early family showing rather than staying up to midnight. The main reason being that I have developed very bad toothache and my face has swollen up  like a balloon. I managed to get an emergency dentist appointment yesterday and I am  now on very strong antibiotics. Plus I am living on paracetamol!

We have decided to cut our trip short and set off for home tomorrow...

In the meantime no cratfing to share but I will add some photos if I can get blogger to work...

I did manage to add a picture of our family on Christmas Day but cannot move it to here - so on that note Happy New Year!!

Happy WOYWW and Season's Greetings! 

Conjurer of Dreams December Tag Challenge

  

This is my make for the Conjurer of Dreams

MONTHLY Tag Challenge

with a freebie image.

I had totally forgotten I had made this tag - I used a red card to start then a piece of Designer paper. I then added the freebie image on a mat of red.

Finally some ribbon...

I will link this to the challenge.

Happy Crafting!

Not much change again from last week - but I have added a few more bits to that collage - I think I am on Day 22

I have placed a card on my desk to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year!

I made this with my Cricut Joy with some extra embellishing.

I have heard that all my cards have been arriving and our Christmas newsletter is here if you wish to read it.

It is about 5pm on Christmas Eve here - my last Euflexxa  injection was this morning - they should begin to really kick in in about 3 weeks - let's hope so!

I have just been out in the garden picking - and these are surplus to requirements so we have put them out for the neighbours...

I have been doing a little bit of crafting: I made some curtains for my daughter's garage...

a tree decoration:

and some mushrooms...

The rest of my 'to do' list has now been put to one side - Christmas with the family tomorrow then Kevin Sophie and I are off on holiday over New Year to the Adelaide area.

All for now... but I will try and get around everyone this week!

Happy WOYWW and Season's Greetings! 

Conjurer of Dreams December Challenges

      

I am sharing a little of what I have made for the Conjuror of Dreams DT.

You will see more of the things I have made with Conjurer Of Dreams images today...

 However the optional month's challenge is Winter Wonder

This is what I made - an x fold card based on this tutorial from Beccy's Place.

I have lots of photos of this - in the envelope it looks like this

The ribbon is untied to see the four quadrants

It can be tied again so the base lies flat and it has four sections....

I used paper from my stash and die cut snowflakes plus images from Winter Window polaroids.

My next make was a small junk journal using pages fixed together with tape - actually an IKEA measuring tape. I then added pages of gel plate pulls...

I then added a variety of images.

These are from Pink and Grey Winter Wonderland

These are from Festive Steampunk Polar Bear

These are from Christmas Deer

These are from Gothic Christmas Collage

These are from Snowy Owl

These are from Spooky trees and gnome freebie from the 2024 blog hop.

These are from the Fairy Christmas Cabinet.

LeighSB Celebrate the Season

 This is a post for

 LeighSB Designs #47 Challenge Celebrate the Season or Anything Goes

Here is my card:

Today's card uses the Aspenglow image. 

I printed the image and trimmed it, adding it to layers of silver and patterned paper.

I cut out the sentiment and added that on silver to the card.

I will add this to Leigh's Linky

I will also add it to the Christmas Kickstart Challenge

Not much change from last week - but there is a workshop kit at the front ready to do - and a nice Christmas serviette which I may add to a candle...

I am continuing with that 2020 Trovember

These were the second 7 days:

The sprinkle of circles I shared last week became these cards:

I have now put nearly all my cards in the post - I just need to write our Christmas newsletter which I put online.

To be honest with the Euflexxa  injections I don't seem to have had any time to do much crafting or anything. I have just finished week 2 which has meant three 10am appointments on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Third week next week, finishing on Christmas Eve. 

Then it was husband Kevin's 75th Birthday on Saturday - we had a family barbecue.

Fingers crossed I will visit you all this week...I don't think I managed last week. 

Two last photos - me enjoying a special treat of an espresso martini - and a Christmas tree in the sunshine...

All for now... 

Happy WOYWW!
