Winter butterfly frame...

I'm back!!! Yes, I have neglected my blog a lot but as I said earlier when you work 66 hours a week there is little time for crafting!

I am still working the same hours but nevertheless want to share some more of my craft creations with you! This is a frame I made weeks ago as a present.
I like the white frame with the pinkish shimmer and how it contrasts the butterfly. It's a simple project, just get yourself some white distress crackle paint and off you go!

Watch this space for more crafty creations, my first craft stamper reader submission, my first Alter it monthly contribution and my first blogaversary candy! Exciting stuff!!

Severe blog neglect.... but lots of good news.....

I know I have quite majorly neglected my blog in the past few weeks, but all for good reasons. I started a new job 2 weeks ago and have been working around 50-60 hours a week, so most of my time at home is spent sleeping, eating and washing at the moment. My only day off is spent catching up on all sorts and finishing a few crafty things to send in to magazines. So nothing crafted to share with you at the moment. It'll be a few more weeks until my working hours get back to normal.
Nevertheless there are plenty of great things to come in 2011.... my first Craft Stamper reader submission will be published soon, can't wait!!! Furthermore I'm part of the team for Just Stamps, the only German stamping and mixed media magazine. My first contributions will be in the February issue. I am really concentrating on the magazine side of my crafting this year, wanting to submit more things to magazines, esp in the US. And last but not least I am now part of the Alter it monthly blog, if you haven't yet joined in on the fun challenges, go chcek it out, next month's theme is Shrines, Alter, Nichos and Dreamboxes.

Also I am very excited that my Tim Holtz Artsy Craft Event ticket came in the post a little while ago, although I'm not even sure if I'll be able to attend (due to new job) I really am crossing my fingers I'll get to meet Tim himself in February. It's the week of my birthday and it really would be the best present to be able to go!!!!! Fingers and toes crossed that I get the day off from work!

I'll do my best to get some crafting done this week so I have something to share with you soon!!!
Til then, keep making art!!
