We were away in the caravan over Easter and I couldn't decide what to take with me. Should I start my Christmas cards (the time will soon pass) or what .......................... I decided to be very brave and take several unfinished items. So I feel to have had quite a 'satisfaction boost'. The first project was a Wizard of Oz star book that I started last year at Art From The Heart - it is now completed and I really like it. Hubby said 'what are you going to do with it now?' he looked slightly bemused when I said 'just look at it'. Oh well, I cannot understand him sitting for hours fishing!
In a few weeks time we are off to see three of our grandchildren who live in Canada. I have made the two girls (5 and nearly 3) little colouring books. As well as being something personal it also gave me the chance to use up several sheets of 12 x 12 - that I should never have bought and hardly ever use.
I have done quite a lot of stamping for them to colour but also there is lots of 'white space' for them to do there own thing - hope they like them. Problem is should I do one for big brother (8) may have to buy a few 'boy' stamps first.
A small selection of the pages
The back page has a little pocket which holds a small envelope for their special things.
I may add some more pages or put in some doodling - time will tell.
I also found time over the holiday break to 'almost' finish a mini Christmas book - also from a class at AFTH last year. I have taken a couple of snaps but it still needs a few more additions before I can class it as finished - may be in time for this Christmas!
I also did some knitting for our youngest granddaughter but that is a long off being finished. I even found time for a couple of doodles and even finished one -
I should now get back to my card making regime - another month and I will have caught up with myself - must start cracking the whip! I have also to start Day 3 of Tim Holz' on line class - at least I won't have to wonder what I am going to do next! Has anyone a few spare hours they could let me have!
So all in all I had a very good Easter break which helped to make up for the rubbish weather. Hope you all had a good time.
Fab projects Anne - I love the star book one of my fav classes at Dys must do one soon as its ages since I went to a class. Sending hugs your way xx
