Out of Touch!

I have not had much time for things creative just recently due to illness in the family. I am hoping to get things going again this weekend and catch up with some of my projects.
Since mum turned 90 she has been quite poorly so is staying with us for a while to recover. I will keep this post short and sweet and get on with some painting I think!

Sunday again!

I just cannot believe how fast these weeks seem to go by!

I suppose I must turn my thoughts to Christmas decorations and cards. Every year I decide not to make Christmas cards and just end up making a few - just keep it simple I think else get really bored with them.

I have just joined a new challenge on Flickr to create festive baubles which may spark my imagination.

Meanwhile I have been making a few halloween ATC's and other bits and pieces. Mainly this week I seem to have been busy doing nothing - I was going to have a massive sort out of all my craft goodies but did not quite get around to it (again) - maybe this week.

The ATC above is finger painted with acrylics - this was such good fun and I loved doing the really bright red.

Celebrations!!!

My mum turned 90 this week so we had a big party to celebrate. A whole host of friends and family attended and we had a super if exhausting day!!

Not much time for anything else this week with all the preparations etc. but it was all worth it and a very enjoyable day for everyone.

Rainy Friday!!

Well here we are in October and it is raining and miserable! Still never mind good excuse to stay indoors and make lots more stuff - except I have to go to work later. Been busy making ATC's this week and must start doing some Christmas stuff soon but can't get in the mood for it yet so need to find some inspiration from somewhere.

I am still using lots of these vintage pictures on the ATC's so perhaps could use those on Christmas bits and pieces too......
