Happy New Year!
I've just come to wish you all a very Happy New Year!I hope that you keep in good health and find time to do what you love most!
I have my Calendar Journal ready to start the next decade..
I used a large Stamperia stencil and a smaller Aall and Create one, my favourite Crafty Individuals background stamp and a Paper Artsy Scrapcosy flower
Here is my December spread all filled in - it was a busy month!
The start of a New Year brings with it a chance to reflect on the past and make plans for the future. I wonder what this year will bring for us all?
I would like to enter my New Year page for Jo's theme at Art Journal Journey - Something New!
Thanks for looking, Chris

A super calendar spread to start the New Year Chris, the cool shades have given it a winter look. I hope we don't get to much snow. Thank you for adding this to Jo's theme at Art Journal Journey.

ReplyDeleteYou may have noticed I didn’t stop by to visit, or I didn’t host my own Second on the 2nd. The reason is quite simple. Wednesday evening, just as I was saying good-bye to my dear friends SC and ND who dropped by to wish me a happy new year, my electricity went out. When I looked outside and saw the neighbors across the street, whose lights NEVER go out when mine do were also out, I knew it wasn’t a blown transformer. My friends decided to stay to see what the problem was. Not more than three or four minutes later, we heard sirens, not just police, but fire, too. We knew it sounded close, so we walked in the direction of the sirens. It was quite dark, but my friends had their cell phone lights to guide them. Two blocks west and one block south we saw that someone in a big truck had hit a light pole so hard, it knocked it over and stretched the wire so hard, the electricity went off in the area on one side, while the other side was draped over someone’s house and was zapping live sparks on the ground in the road.
ReplyDeleteAt first we thought it was a drunk driver, but after the ambulance arrived, we saw the man either had a heart attack or possibly a seizure. As the electric company was arriving, they told the crowd it would be at least a day before we would get our power back. Instead of staying home in the cold and dark, my friend SC, who lives in another town, invited me to her home. I am just now getting home. Even though she has an I-Pad, I don’t know the password that gets me onto blogger (which is stored on my computer only). I’ll be back soon, just want you to know why I wasn’t around to visit and play host. The electricity is on (I’m not sure how long it’s been on), but it’s freezing here. Thanks for understanding, dear friend.
Your calendar pages always put mine to shame. I simply adore how you always have that PERFECT stamp. Thanks for sharing this with us at Art Journal Journey using Jo's theme, too.
