Hello everybody,
So, my final blog
post of the year and I would like to share three pieces of good news with you
all.
First off, I won
the card making competition that I blogged about at my local craft shop!!! Here is the card I made with some close ups
and also pictures of what I got with the vouchers I won.
My second piece of
good news is that I won some yummy yarn in a competition on Facebook hosted by
Cuddlebums (who can be found over on Facebook HERE)
and so once my yarn arrives I will show you all what I make with
it. Here is a screen shot of the yarn I
won which is handdyed and co-ordinates with Day 7 of the Twelve Days of
Christmas. Not sure what to make yet but will get my thinking cap on.
My last and by no
means least good piece of news is that I have been selected by Elaine Rayworth
as a Design Team member for her Christmas Fun blog!!! I applied a few weeks ago to see if I could
be a member after seeing her advertisement on a Facebook group called ‘Creative
Showcase’. I was really surprised to receive
an email from Elaine last weekend to say that I had secured a place.
I will let you
know full details of the blog in due course but it starts on the 1st
of January 2014 so will be creating over the Christmas period.
The Design Team
has been divided into two teams who will create Christmas cards twice a month (1st and 16th) giving crafters the chance to participate in the theme/topic
twice a month. As the blog name is
Christmas Fun guess what it’s all about??
Yep, you guessed right – it’s all about Christmas. What can be more organised than creating
Christmas cards all the year through so that there is no mad rush at the end of
the year to get all those handmade cards crafted!!!
I will be back at
the beginning of January with details of the blog and how you can enter,
etcetera, and with some posts about the cards and gifts I've created for Christmas presents, but in the meantime wish all of you a Happy Christmas and a Wonderful
New Year and hope that 2014 brings you everything you wish for!!!
Best wishes
Tanya xxxx
