Happy Anniversary

32 years ago today! Where did that time go?

Blog update

It was long overdue. My blog was certainly looking tired and out of date. Finally made the time to sit and revise Jessica Sprague's online class - Bloom Your Blog. I completed the class back in 2013 and had used the knowledge gained to put together a new blog for Stephen and a travel blog for the two of us but I had never customised my own blog. At that time I was happy enough with what I had previously muddled together. I love Creative Market and while I have purchased a few items I do love the Free Design Goods Roundup each Monday and have been able to download for free some very useful items. One of the things I did purchase was the watercolour set that I used when designing my blog header. I always thought that I might use it to design wedding invitations, etc but it certainly came in handy when 'renovating' my blog and I am very happy with the end product.

Things I have always wanted to learn

I always promised myself that when I had more time I would learn new things such as Illustrator and even another language. So no more procrastinating. I find Terry White so easy to listen to and his explanations are always direct and simple to emulate.  Another great place to learn Illustrator is here.

So here goes!!!

Gotta love a new class

Bring on Monday 16 March. I really enjoy Online Card Classes and I think that this new one is going to be terrific. I am hoping that I learn lots of new ways to use my mounting stash of framelits and dies.

Super excited because.....

.....starts today. I am really looking forward to seeing just how Rebecca Cooper does Capture Life!!!

Christmas 2014 is coming!!!

Super excited about this kit that I have just purchased from Papertrey Ink. I can see Mason jars filled with Christmas goodies as place settings on our Christmas table.

Lots of wonderful ideas on how to use the kit can be found here, here, here and here.

You would think

..........that seeing I have been officially retired since January 30 2014 I would have the time to attend to my blog. Wrong!!!

I am hoping to get thinks sorted and up to date over the next few days.
