Good morning everyone
I didn't blog yesterday as I decided to have a very lazy do-not-a lot kind of day, but take a deep breath & read on because I make up for it today. There is going to be several photos including slide-show & the first is that beautiful sunrise I took on Boxing day morning standing at the front door still in my dressing gown. I can never tire of looking at such beautiful sights.
I spent the afternoon reading one of the books I had downloaded to my nice Christmas pressie - Kindle. I had downloaded several classics - so the one I decided to start reading was "Cranford". I found it really pleasant to read - it's been quite a while since I read a classic & sometimes the vocabulary & way of writing takes a while to get into - but this didn't. Did you see the TV serialisation of it? Judi Dench played one of the main character - Mattie - as I read the words she would have spoken you could almost hear Judi Dench - she really was a good choice for that part.
In the evening we had the family round for a New Years Day meal - which Bob cooked for us & was very nice indeed. A very pleasant evening was spent afterwards with just general family chit chat. Gareth informed me that Amazon had some £1 books for the Kindle - so I popped in there quickly & bought 3 more books. I have never heard of the authors or the books but the descriptions sounded good - so I thought I would try them. I will let you know what they are like once I have read them.
Right! Crafting is what we are about & rubber stamping in particular. So what have I been doing? I have a birthday card for my neighbour to show you - her birthday was New Years Day. Sadly it is not stamped but produced from a craft CD I have. The picture does not do the 3-d work justice.

Then also there are the pictures for the Christmas present I made for my friend Veronica - which again did not have stamping. I had intended to do some but left it a little too late to get my head around what to do. So I put to good use the many papers & toppers I have collected during 2010. It is one of those desk calendars that stand up & you flip each page over. On the back of each month I had stuck a saying or little poem relevant to the month - it was good fun trying to find suitable ones - I really enjoyed that part. Here is a slide show of the pages;
