I hope everyone had a good one and Santa was good to you....
I worked Boxing Day but its been so lovely have time off since.
Thought id better show a pic of Lucy's darling Christmas tree with some special ornaments making their way onto it, all red and white this year...we went minimal and au natural this year.....i love it especially when the sunlights streaming thru the window and the aircons on so all the decorations are twinkling and moving about.
it has developed a bit of lean lol
I dropped off the blog radar well before the big day as i was busy making more pockets. I wont bore you with them all but will show you some of the pretty details....
i love the big flower on this one , ill share how i did this later , i want to do some more experimenting.
I sent off a heap of parcels two weeks before Christmas but they were delayed with the snow and are just filtering through now. Sorry peeps....hope they wont be much longer.
On Monday i made some atc's for the first time in ages, it was lovely to sit down and play catch up, only about 5 to go now for Inkurable Stampers lol
Spooky
Music
They aren't quite as dark in real life...
This one i made so i could practice painting faces, this is very new to me but i do love painting these little whimsies...takes me forever i might add and so much harder to do at atc size.
Mythical Creatures
And the only new years resolution i am making is to catch up my challenges that i started this year. Other than that, i hope you all have a Happy New Years.
Here's to your good health and happiness and stay safe on the roads.........

The little tree looks beautiful! It's so strange to hear you speak of sunlight and aircon when here in the UK we've had freezing temperatures and snow (which thankfully has all thawed out now).
I never tire of seeing your beautiful pockets.
Love your face paintings too - so pretty!
Wishing you a Happy New and creative Year xx
you are always up to such fun and I am inspired by what you make and share Jen!
your tree is delightful and I got such a great visual with your aircon description too
Love all you've created...the mermaid is wonderful too!
Brightest of Blessings to you and yours in 2011!
So glad we've "met" dear one!

Forgot to say, Love your blog and your mermaid is so cute. I want to play and try to do some whimsy faces might be a good creative challenge for me for 2011. Know where I can get some hints and tips? Willowing maybe?

Hi Jen - Just wanted to say thanks for my welcome back to blogging (couldn't find your email address). Love this post by the way - it's a marathon!!
Just amamzing bits of arty loveliness!!! I do so love the ATCs and I agree fine painting detail in ATC size is time consuming although I cant talk My record is 20 hours on just one! LOL Have a Happy new year I hope your girl get home to you with plenty of wonderful adventure to talk about and plenty of pictures to captivate! :)
