It's Finished!

I'm happy to say I finished my Christmas Memories 2015 last week. I love it! It's full of photos and stickers and "stuff" and has a little added photo book on pages 15 and 16 when the girls spent the night. Lots of photos so bear with me!!

I'm thinking that this will be how I do my next little travel journal which I will need soon as we just booked Valentines weekend in Naples, Florida. That means I'm going to have to buy some stickers and bits and make an insert for my current whimsiedori!! I plan on using my new Instax camera for the trip and I might also look into getting the Fujifilm Instax Share Smartphone Wireless Printer SP-1 or something similar. Will let you know if I get anything!

Just before Christmas I was asked if I would cover some box cushions for dog beds. I knew I wouldn't do them before the start of the new year but also knew I wanted to get them done so I could play with my Christmas gifts - art box, Silhouette Cameo and a drawing tool for my laptop. Well last Wednesday as I was off I decided that I would get them out of the way. Having never done box cushions before, the first one took a while but the second one was a breeze. Luckily the fabric was a sherpa fleece and was very forgiving around corners! They're not perfect but I'm sure the dogs won't complain!!

Nothing too exciting but both dogs seem to like them!

I've started filling in my midori monthly calendar - it has approximately 1" squares so I'm doing kind of an "inchie" thing. Some I'm drawing in, some have stickers and some are just words. As this is my first month using this insert I'm kind of trying everything. I'll post pix at the end of the month when it's finished and then I'll decide how I want to continue.

I'm off to look at my Silhouette - wish me luck as I'm not good on the computer!! Until next time...

HAPPY 2016!

Happy New Year! It's always exciting to start a new year. It's that time when we set goals for ourselves and think about all the things we'd like to do. Like last year, I won't be making any New Year's resolutions but will be picking a word. After a lot of thought I've decided to choose the word "create". Obviously the first thing that comes to mind is to make something, but I'm also thinking about creating time to do things that I usually say I'm too busy to do and I'd like to create habits so that things will get done more often. For me this is huge but I'm looking forward to jumping in and having a go. I'd love for you to join me and maybe even pick a word for yourself. So here goes for a creative 2016. Until next time...
