Day 1 of 12 Days of Christmas

The fun of opening the pressies for the 12 days of Christmas began today and first present was made by Gaye, a stunning calendar. So much work went into this and I truely love it. I will enjoy looking at it throughout the year. Thank you Gaye.

This is going to be fun, tomorrow is my pressie so no suprise but after that there will be 10 more, I can't wait!

Christmas cards

This year I only made 3 Christmas cards for crafty friends and here they are. I used images from Lisa's Altered Art which is my favourite place for digital collage sheets.

AOTM from Julie

This is the beautiful necklace I received from Julie as my Art of the Month. It is stunning, such an intricate work. Thank you Julie.

12 days of Christmas

This year I am again taking part in this fun swap organised through one of the Aussie online groups. My 12 days of Christmas pressies have been packed up and posted. It will be fun to be opening a pressie a day leading up to Christmas. Last year, being overseas, I got to open them all at once in the New Year.

Received my first Christmas card

This is the wonderful Christmas card I received from the Paper Princess Celeste, she was super organised and I don't know how she managed all her chores before heading off for a wonderful trip to Italy for 6 weeks, lucky thing. Thank you Celeste.
