Surprise!

to be honest it was the stopping of the blogging and the crafting (mostly) that was a surprise to me. I had managed to keep going through thick and thin and then suddenly, nothing! I think maybe moving and starting a new wonderful but overwhelming job took it out of me more than I had realised. But I am gradually coming back to it. I have completed an Advent Journal

made a few blankets (there is another completed one that I must take a photo of, too busy using it!)

and dabbling in layouts

 in case you can't read the journalling on this one...

and perhaps my favourite - although it used no paper at all!

 I used some distress stains, some material stuff, tissue paper, glitter paste, sea glass and chipboard painted white with glitter added plus vellum for the lettering

Lets see how long it is before I have something to blog again - I'm making no promises!
