New Year, New Creations

Wow! Ten years later much?

Lol.

I've been so busy with work and family life, that my crafting has taken a serious backseat! Poor papergoodness!

2010 has been fabulous otherwise! New house, work is great, family is growing and for Christmas Santa brought us an amazing new computer! I've needed one for ages...totally love all 22" of it (well, the screen I mean heehee).

Time to get back into crafting (I have promised and scheduled this in for the New Year) yusss sireee:)

We are converting our internal garage into my craft oasis...RK+P will be updated, papergoodness will be pumping and blogging will be more frequent!

I can't wait! Most of my craft goodness is still boxed up...I love digging thru it all and being totally happy:)

Hope everyone has had a fabulous 2010 - I can't believe how fast it flown by!

Merry Christmas and a wondrous New Year everyone! from me to you xox.

3D is far better than the "plain" version I've heard. and it must be true, because the graphics are one in million, actually one in a billion. billion dollars that is:):)

extra curricular + world sweet world

One of the pretty things I got from my sis this Christmas was the darling copy of extra curricular! It is mega inspiring and filled to the brim of amazing handmade/crafty artists in New Zealand:)

000

The cover is so sweet, so I had to share. It also features me + Bee's Kraftbomb friend Heleen:) Another fabulous read is World Sweet World (of course, New Zealand made) which is just the neatest publication you ever did venue across. Both printed on 100% repurposed materials they feature artists that love to craft as much as you and me:) And I'm all for handmade goodness! I know you are too:)
