Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
One of the lovely things about having card making classes is when you receive a hand-made thank you card in return. I thought I would share a couple I got in the mail in the last few weeks.

I recently did some jewellery bars and 2 parts of my working life were able to come together when it came to thanking my hostesses!
Now, who said you could not have pink Christmas cards? With 3 grand-daughters, all who love pink, it made perfect sense to pull out the Pink Piroutte card stock to make their cards.
I rarely wrap Christmas presents these days, preferring to use a decorated bag with fistfuls of tissue paper! In the days before I made cards, I would find myself running out of gift tags (usually on Christmas Eve when the shops had all closed!) so in the last few days I have been making some tags ready for December.

Back in early August I posted a picture of my temporary craft area in the corner of the apartment bedroom. We completed the purchase of our new home on November 7th and this last weekend I held my first stamp camp there………..
