A time for excesses….?
December 28th, 2005This is that odd time between Christmas and New Year, when we just sit at home, watch TV and eat copious amounts of chocolate, courtesy of our parents.Tomorrow we may face the phenomenon known as ‘wheather’ and face the Sales crowds at John Lewis to spend some gift vouchers and hopefully buy some pots and pans - don’t you get too excited now!
I must confess I have been exceedingly blessed this Christmas, with not only a wonderful family and a terrific husband but also an excess of great gifts too. Where shall I start? First of all I got some spondoolies and some edibles from my Dad, and then a smashing set of ceramic hair straighteners from my sister (yayyy!), followed swiftly by a ‘minky’ purse and key ring from Miles. I also got a beautiful necklace set, a pair of shoes, the new MaryJo McGraw DVD (coolio), a FAB book by Pam Sussman - Fabric Art Journals, a couple of tops, a lovely snuggly throw for my lap, and… oh too many superb doo-dads to mention. Santa really did out-do himself this year 
I’ve been trying to work on a Beauty AB for the last week, on and off and am having real problems with it. Where oh where has my inspiration gone? Don’t know if my problem is the theme or just that my mind is already racing ahead to all the other great art projects I have lined up. Maybe I should just start on something else and see what comes to me about this AB. I want to do something really special in it but am having a real block, maybe something about Timeless Beauty or Renaissance Beauty or perhaps even Vintage Beauty, but thats as far as I get.
