Wow what a whirlwind that was. I'm very late with my Christmas wishes but "Better late than never" sounds good to me. I hope you all had a fabulous Christmas and Boxing Day. I was out shopping on Boxing Day and what a challenge it was to stay sane.
Best Wishes for a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
I love the beginning of a new year. There are just so many possibilities.......... Last year I choose Project 365 which turned into Project 218. I'm very proud to say I got 218 creative projects done. I love to set goals and even if I don't complete them I sure get farther than if I never set the goal to begin with.
This upcoming year of 2011 is going to be the year of "UFO's" = Un-Finished Objects. I'm going to focus on completeing all my unfinished projects. This will include all items from Classes, make n takes, kits, personal projects, etc. I will post the finished projects as they come off the assembly line. Let's see how many actually exist behind those cupboard doors.
Hugs, Diane

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
What happened to November? I had lots of fun and a jam packed schedule. I hosted my last Timberline Ranch Retreat, which was a blast as usual. Loved spending some quality time with my dear friends. Then it was off to Crop & Cruise for Canadians with my friend Izzy. We had another great journey together and there were several times where we had to throw our hands up and holler "A" for adventure. Since this was a cruise for Canadian Scrappers I guess I should say "Eh" for Adventure. I so totally stole that from Jackie Ludlage on her editorial page of the 2010 Winter Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine. Loved that layout! I love a good play on words.
My sights are now squarely focused on the 31 days in December and I can say I'm truly enjoying the holidays this year. My house is all decorated and I have been spending some quality time in the kitchen baking a mountain of cookies. I was treated to the Vancouver Chamber Choir last Friday night and it was just beautiful. Not what I was expecting but so much to see, watch and take in. The best part was the last bit where we (the audience) got to sing along with some favourite Christmas Carols. Oh how I love to sing, especially when I feel I am safely being drowned out. LOL
Stay tuned for some more updates and photos from the trip as well as some Christmas inspired photos.
Hugs to all , and to all a good night...

Since I'm still plugging away at my personal challenge of Project 365
I'm including all my creations not just my paper crafts.
I have started painting and this was my very first creation.
Happy Halloween!

Well I have made it to my August in my "Project 365"
I'm very excited to say that I have created 212 items
to date this year. Some are definately more worthy
of counting than others but nothing beats that feeling of
accomplishment I get when I use my stash of classes, kits,
projects, and scrapbooking supplies.

Since paying weekly visits to the Vancouver Art Gallery I have found
myself inspired to try new things. I understand my proportions are off
alot but not bad for my first try at drawing a portrait. Because I knew
I wanted to document my new found inspiration I decided to draw
directly onto a 12x12 piece of cardstock. The kraft brown colour
closely resembled the paper with which the great artists in the exhibit
used to draw their masterpieces. It really fascinates me how when
you break down a drawing it is merely pencil strokes on paper.
Of course if you are talented enough and can figure out how to
connect them you can make a beautiful picture. Maybe one day
after lots of study and practice I too can draw a portrait
that I would be proud to place on display.
Oh! Oh! You should really see my bowl of fruit. LOL!!

Today I put together this mini album
with a few of my favourite things.
The key to the speed was using only 1 paper line
and that was BasicGrey's Romani.
Bling = Heidi Swapp
Chalk = Colorbox Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan
ABC's = American Craft Thickers, BasicGrey Romani
& Doodlebug
