TUESDAY - LOTS TO READ

Tuesday evening was spent finishing bits and pieces off and playing.
I am very pleased with myself because I managed to finish 3 yes THREE Journal pages
which I am doing on the PP Forum - my theme is Windows, here are the latest three...

APRIL Front


BACK


MAY - Front


BACK


 JUNE - Front


BACK


Aha - now this next piece was going to be the April one but I rejected it,

Not at all happy with the back of it...


SOMETHING DIFFERENT

These are going to wing their way to my friend Tonya,
she makes bags with them - they are empty...





FABRIC POSTCARDS & QTC's
These are all going to be winging their way to various parts of the World -
who will they be for - aha not telling...









this is the QTC



to show you the difference in size I have put the QTC on top of one Postcard...


another QTC...


Whilst sorting out my Postcards the other day, I came across quite a lot which I had stupidly written on the backs - you see I always used to make two of each I made,  then I would write on the back what swap it was for and to whom I had sent the other card. Well, I decided that was a waste of cards, so I pulled all the backs off the ones I had written on, Postcards and QTC's and have redone them with fresh backs, they are all now useable, makes sense really. These are the QTC's I have redone. Just in case you are querying, YES they are MINE all mine,  I would NEVER vandalise a card which had been sent to me. I treasure them all, I have some truly wonderful Postcards and QTC's from people all round the World.

New Backs

These are the fronts

This one too, was renewed, I am just showing you how it works -
you can see I made this one in 2008




OMG
Look what I have done....I have got blooming felt tip on my new table...ARGH!!!



This is my very latest card - it is themed HARVEST -
all I will say it is like a book, Irene hasn't received it yet, so I cant show you the inside...



There we are then, you see I have been busy, finishing and playing with bits and pieces. I will tell you what I have been playing with in another post - that is how I got the felt tip on the table!

Before I go though, I am putting here my GIVE AWAY for my Blogoversary -

Hey Jan,

Your work is wonderful as always. I like looking at all the things you create. I really like your journal pages. They are all beautiful, but my favorite is the April one you discarded. I love that stitching pattern and the colors. Perhaps you can just use the front part in another project, a bag perhaps or the center of a table topper/runner.
Congratz on your blogaversary. :)

Three finishes!?! Good for you! They are all so creative! And the one you rejected for April, that's probably my favorite one - I guess I'm not as critical as you are. Anyway, great job on everything you showed today - you are so creative. And, of course, I would love to enter your giveaway...

I would love to win that bag so please enter me in the drawing. I bet you are pleased to get so many things finished now that the old machine is back in service.

As always my friend, your work is beautiful. I am in awe at what you do. Whatever you do is superb be it quilting, blogging ........ Maybe one day I will get round to trying Geta's technique but there is that boring old thing called 'work' that is getting in the way. I would love to win the bag.
