Happy New Year

I haven't had a whole lot of time for crafting, but I did cover two boxes.  I made these from two candy boxes that I had on hand.  One box will be given to the lady that was my Mother's best friend for over 60 years and the other will go to my sister.   Usually, we would have gotten together for a Christmas lunch by now, but everyone has been too busy to schedule a time where we can all three get together so...It will be next week sometime.  Actually, I'm glad it's late this year, gives me more time to get some Greeting cards together to fill their boxes.  

Last night I was able to be with the  two  crafting friends that usually get together with me every week..   But, Again, with everyone so busy this season..,  we didn't have our Christmas party till last night.  Wonderful time, we did NOT craft this week, but, boy we sure did EAT!  and it was all so good. ( And lots of fun)!

I probably won't get to post again before the New Year, so I want to wish everyone a Wonderful New year with this post.   Thank you for all the visits and wonderful encouragement I received from so many of you visiting my blog.  Blogging has been such a blessing in my life.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you! I'm starting off my New Year by making myself a new Journal.  I enjoy Journaling, and I love looking at the Art Journals that I see on Pinterest  (Yes, I am addicted to that site!)  While looking at the Art Journals...I found this link...

http://www.clips-n-cuts.com/2012/12/journal-resolutions/

 I really like the Art Journal pages she (Vicky) has created, and her wonderful UTube Channel...has many of them step by step...that even I can make one following her great instructions.

Of course, Mine isn't as creative as hers...but I was really inspired by her design that I was able to do my page...Her page was done with a lot of stamping and distress inks...I mostly did a lot of cut and paste...some punching and added stickers...but I still like the way it turned out..

My page includes the word that I have selected to be my motivational word for this year...JOY!
