Before I started playing with watercolours I used to have fun in photoshop. This is a card I made for Christmas 2007….I am been so busy scanning that I haven’t had the time to do anything this year!! Slack slack… I know!

I am not really into Christmas (see note below)so I often give holiday cards rather than Christmas Cards. For a few years I used the “Have a Cool Summer” theme …naturally I ended up sending them to my northern hemisphere friends as well for a bit of a laugh.

This is probably not a very helpful sentiment for a lot of people at the moment with the weather the way it is. So more appropriately – I wish everyone a safe Christmas/ holiday period…hope you get to the places you want to be safely…and if that is not possible, I hope that you have a good time despite the disappointments!

Thanks for all the comments during the year…and especially those during my big trip – I can’t express how

For all those in Australia – I hope you have a warm and sunny summer!

Re; Christmas. For those interested…. I really dislike the commercialism of it but I also do not observe it “religiously.” Although a Christian, I do not find a command in the bible to observe the day that Christ was born- instead I celebrate Christ’s resurrection on the first day of every week as a rest day – what I refer to as the Lords Day (the Christian Sabbath)…personally I prefer 1 day in 7 rather than only once a year!! Having said that my family still has a low key get together… but I might just end up doing something else on the day as well- stay tuned… (last year I sewed a dress!)
