Tis the season..right?

An so another year has slipped through our fingertips and the Man in red is getting his sleigh sorted, and I being the crazy little crafty elf that I am, am doing just that aswell. Crafters all around the globe are going slightly out of their minds as we attempt to impossible by making our gifts for loved ones. My list doesn't seem to be moving quite as fast ad I'd like to hope, but slow and steady...gets crap done.

My calender is in the spirit, a little festive cheer on my desk, keeping my handmade date keeper company is a gift my dear friend Emily bought over yesterday...She doesn't have a name yet but Im sure as she settle's in a name will spring to mind.


On the gift front...well my fingers are constantly making something, the the lovesick romantic in me, is working her way through something for her man. A girls heart...in paper.

I hope your Christmas shopping is going well! checking lists and wrapping gifts, tomorrow I think I shall spend the afternoon with my two little mischief elves and put up our tree.
Have a good night.
love Courtney xx

My Creative Space!

Well its been a little while but I thought its about time I played this game again! Im always creating and I usally capture my mess on my camera so let me show you the battleground that is my space this week!
I sat in my little nook and made a mini album for myself, for my trip to brisbane, and I wanted something girly and silly to hold all my little bits and peices. So I got out my papers and created something fresh and fun..and a heap of mess!

A little trifold album within my album! with little journaling tags, mini clips, and a fabric button that doubles as a cute little door handle.

a flower embellishment I made using a paper flower, a little popout butterfly and some ribbon from my stash!

the front cover of my little album featured a vintage camera image! since both My dear friend Mandy and I are photographers I thought this was very fittingand a show off, of some of my new papers that came in the post last week, arent they ADORABLE!!!
thats me done for this week, Im sure you'll see my adventures next week, might be some spinning who knows!

if you'd like to see other spaces or join us on the creative adventures pop on over to
Kootoyoo's blog and sign up!!

enjoy your afternoon

I have spent days in my art journal, with inked fingers, oohing and ahhing over my new pens, colour, paint all of it so familiar and yet so untouched for so long.

a little glimpse at what my hands have been working on.

Pages from my art journal, mixed media, from paint, to ink to oil pastels, magazine clippings my own drawings and alot of love.

a little bit of my history in my present.

something small and filled with love, to make my husband feel special. A mini book with tags and photos pockets and secrets......

and a little xmas cheer, not my work but they sure did inspire me to start making my Christmas cards this year.

enjoy the evening, and pick up your current projects and create until you have left this world!
