Happy New Year..

Good evening to you all and thanks for looking in...well here we are another year nearly gone...

I would like to thank you all for such wonderful support over the last 12 months...those of you who read this blog, those who leave comments and those of you that I have met at workshops or shows... ( oh and you Mum.....I do love the fact that you read this little blog...)

 

I do love to meet you all and to craft with you...

Every New Year brings new challenges and exciting times....and that is exactly what 2015 has in store....

So with that in mind a few of us have stepped down from the Clarity Challenge Blog Design Team...so that we can concentrate on new projects with Clarity...

I have loved being part of the Challenge DT and will miss it but the new members are very talented and I am sure you will love their work..especially Angela and Emma who are regulars on here...

So I thought I would share some of my favourite projects with you...remember this one....I used my toes!!!!!!

And as you know I do love Pyrography...

And stencils....

Oh and this one...

And this one..

And recently this one.....created with the mini blending tool...

So out with the old and in with the new...

I hope it will be a very Happy and Healthy year for us all....

Just before I go....Karl and me spent a wonderful day ( even if full of a cold ) yesterday with my sister and her family...

 

We went for a long walk and Eric had his first swim ..oh he did love the water....

Look how he has grown...

Enough from me...

Enjoy your evening.....and see you next year...

Love and Hugs....

Jo. xxxx

Happy New Year to you and your family, Jo. Thank you for your visit to my blog and your lovely comment. Looking through your favourites, they are really beautiful. I want to have a go at pyrography this year and intend to book myself on to a day's workshop with Bob Neil before buying the kit. Hope to meet up again this year 2015. xxx Maggie

Oh Bless you Maggie, hope 2015 is a great year for you and hope you get on your workshop. I met Bob many years ago at a wood turners show and that is when I fell in love with pyrography...hugs...xx

Happy New Year Jo! Thank you for another wonderful year of crafting. I'm really looking forward to 2015 and the same again - learning and laughter with good friends.

Happy New Year Jo. Your cards are all beautiful and I look forward to seeing what you create in 2015. Looking forward to more of Tess and Eric's adventures too. x

Happy new year Jo. Sorry to hear that you've been poorly but glad you managed to get out with your sister. My, how Eric has grown!
It's been lovely to look back at your beautiful cards and the different skills that you've used. Thank you for another year of inspiration and for your hard work. I wish you well in all your new Clarity ventures but will miss your encouraging comments when I do manage to enter. I'm sure that the new team members will be just as encouraging. Apologies for my ramblings &/or mistakes but I'm on my phone with a little screen & no glasses. Best wishes for the new year xx
