Hello everyone,
What day is it?..what is happening?...have I missed anything?..where am I ?....ha ha ha, the list goes on and the confusion is real, but not just for me, my friends are the same and we just laugh and laugh..everything will sort itself out, don't panic when you think it is DT time and you forgot, and then realise you are on a break....roll on 2024, I need to wake up and be in my own unconfused time space.
Meanwhile, back on the ranch, I had a little play, when I made the wood baubles, I played with my last wood slice too..
Gessoed this baby up..and using a sponge dauber one the edges,
gives a nice textured look on the bark..
When dry, I added a sentiment, with a block!!..
only one try, so be sure and careful..
Nailed it!..
added some pine leaves and cones...so simple..
and finally a few berries to bring in some colour..
Message to my friend.... [ I know Beryl, berries don't come on pine leaves!!..]
So that is done and I loved it..
next time going to get some holes drilled in the top..just have to buy some more..
and now sharing my cards I received and thank you all so much...
I'm blessed..

and this beautiful girl has 34 flower heads on it, and I picked it from my chicken feeding place and bought it home, popped it in a vase and gorgeous perfume is going right up the hall into my craftroom and bedroom and it is strong and beautiful..
So, there we go, thank you so much for stopping by..
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024

We are all in the same boat, no one knows what, where or when it is, hahaha, makes for a change though hahaha.

Ignore about the card I see it...what a nut...hahah. xxx
Hope you had a great time this holidays! I'm just waking up again from such a delightful time.. A new baby boy to add to our little family early December. Daughter and SIL went home yesterday. So my craft room door is open again.
FABulous idea you've had once again Chrissy. LOve them. Can't get over the amount of flowers you have on this stem!! Truly amazing.

Happy New Year to you too.
I love your wood piece! I have too many of them and not sure what to do, but this will be a project I can work on for next year's Christmas! LOL I absolutely love that beautiful sentiment and your bine bough works lovely with it too! I sent you a card, but you've probably not received it yet...sorry that it's late, but hope it comes soon! Thanks for the wonderful inspiration this year my friend! Best wishes!

Sometimes I don't know what year it is let alone which day! It happens!
The wood slice is beautiful...and you stamped that 'one chance' sentiment perfectly, I know I would have bodged it up.
What a lot of lovely cards you received and your flowering stem is amazing.
Happy New Year Chrissy.
xx
Catching up on your work Chrissie, everything is just wonderful, how you come up with all your ideas is beyond me, but you fly through and come up trumps each time. Your lily is gorgeous, I just about managed 9 flowers on ours this last year, doubt it would get to your 34, amazing. I love these little bits of wood to wonderfully dressed.
Wishing you Health and Happiness for 2024.

Don't even go there Chrissy, it's like the blind leading the blind over here. No one has a clue what day, what time or why they are where they are lol. We are doomed!! I love your gorgeous decorated wood slices!! You certainly did well with the gorgeous cards you received Chrissy. It's always extra special to receive a hand made one for sure. Wow I have never seen so many flowers heads on one stalk before! I hope they last a long time for you. Happy New Year to you and the family!!
that is just gorgeous, it would make a lovely ornament or with a magnet on the back it would be great for a magnet, to dress up your kitchen!
