Snow.......hurray.......hurrah!
This is what we woke up to on yesterday morning! It was raining when we went to bed so it was a lovely surprise when I opened the curtains!
The snow just topped off a super exciting weekend for me! Ann Martin featured my work in the Fab Friday feature on her terrific blog All Things Paper and the response has been absolutely amazing! So a big hello and thank you to all you new followers who have found me! Ann also submitted the article to CraftGawker and it's been one of the most viewed posts of the past seven days........PHENOMENAL!!!
If you've not had a look on the site yet, go now! It's AMAZING, you will lose at least an hour of your life,....just looking at things!
I've been working on a new design this weekend for the 6x4" exhibition which takes place in Dundee next month. The exhibition "will explore the postcard as a distinctive artistic medium in its own right". I'm quite excited about this wee papercut and I can't wait to see the rest of the exhibition!Here's a wee sneaky peak of the sketches I've been working on........
This is the view from our kitchen window. Now you can see why my work is full of wee birdies, leaves and flowers!

Not giving too much away.......yet!
This year I will.........T H R I V E !!
I don't generally write a list of New Years resolution and never get past the vague promises to myself to get fit and be more organised!
This year however, inspired by Regina Lord, I've chosen a word of the year. I love Regina's blog, Creative Kismet (and her artwork!) and her post about selecting a word to help build, support and guide you through the year really struck a chord.
I chose THRIVE. It was actually quite difficult, when I sat down and thought about all my hopes, goals and dreams for the year to condense it into one word! I realised that growing, building, branching out and stretching all figured highly in the list and thrive seemed to fit the bill perfectly!
So this year I will THRIVE! I will do well, I will advance, I will bloom, I will blossom, I will develop, I will grow, I will prosper, I will shine and I will succeed......I will, I will, I will!!
Happy New Year everyone, what will YOU do this year?!
