Welcome to 2010

January 1st 2010 - it's been a while since I have blogged! Where does time go? I cannot believe it is 2010 already, just seems like yesterday there was all the hype about starting a new millenium and it turning the year 2000. I am quite glad to see the end of 2009 for many reasons, but there were great moments there too! So I am sharing the first snow day I had back in February 2009, I finally got around to finishing my Snow book: 

Below are some detail images:

I do love snow when it is fresh, deep and white! We had a second heavy snow load just before Christmas, and to start of the New Year we had a dusting of snow! I have decided to start a photo blog this year, to try and record at least one item daily - well, we will see how well I manage that, but I aim to share my slant on the world around me as I see it through the lense of my camera, please take a look - day one, and I have photos to share:        http://realmofvision.blogspot.com/

I hope to find myself again this year, and find time to be creative for myself........so, Happy New Year to you all, may 2010 bring you all you desire. x x x

Books.....

I love to buy them, read them, draw in them, alter them, and make them........

For TGIF this week I have chosen to share this book I made for my sister for Christmas. It is a desktop book I learnt how to make at a class held by Karen of Scrapbook Sisters, and this is another version of it. Hope you like the end result.

Going Travelling?

A while ago now I did a class using a Bo Bunny word book - TRAVEL. I really enjoyed doing this and the colour of the papers we had matched my photos from a trip to Venice. The book has a basic chipboard pages, each one cut into the shape of a letter, they are then held together with ring binders. They can be covered in any papers you choose and then embellished using buttons, ribbons, stickers, stamps - anything you have in your stash.

Below is the end result:

Bo Bunny books come in many different words including: HOME, LOVE, BELIEVE, FAMILY, BABY, BEACH.
