Adieu 2008

Well the year is drawing to close.. seem to have got here on the bullet train as it really feels like no time at all since New Years Eve 2007.... think its a sign of getting older... time doesnt go faster.. I just forget more of it LOL

Had a nice (but quiet) christmas with hubby and kids.... and the babies... (all my four legged grandchildren ... not that I am complaining.. I dont wish to be a free babysitter for the next generation - though ONE of the two legged variety would be nice) and no, I dont mean a canine amputee.. children.. are you reading this?? LOL

I rarely make 'NY resolutions' as I feel if its worth doing then it should be done immediately - not put off till the new year.. but have vowed this year to start working my way through all the craft books I have bought and actually start making things from them.. am off to a good start with this with my regular thing with Lucy, Elizabeth, Glenda and Barb.

The CS retreat (also on that bullet train) is fast approaching.. from what seemed eons away is now only 10 weeks away!!  Tutors are looking forward to it.. students looking forward it.. I can't wait to unviel everything lol... gonna be the best time...

Also new for 2009 is a new blog  2Cre8Art started by Barb Thomas and myself where we will be featuring tutorials/techniques and challenges each month with regular prizes for contributing.. first technique is up tomorrow .. its an oldie but a goodie and I hope you can play...

I would like to take opportunity to thank Eva and Lucy for their help with the retreat... Barb T, Eva A, Lucy L, Glenda L, Debbie B for their friendship and fun times over the year.. thankyou also to my kids (for NOT moving back home this year) and to everyone who signed up for the retreat... you are in for a great time and it WILL BE like no other retreat you have attended.. that's a promise.

See you all on the other side in 2009

I am so looking forward to meeting everyone at the CS Retreat ... I feel like I know so many of the people going through the PaperArts & CS groups. I also intend to read all the magazines & creative books I've bought and perhaps implement a technique or 2. Enjoy, Diana.
