Despite good intentions, I once again got behind with posts. This was due to a number of reasons, including:
- making cards for the crazy Christmas period
- making different cards for the New Year period
- going into hospital for major surgery on 23 December
- while I was recovering from surgery, my brother visited from the UK, bringing his lovely wife to Australia for the first time which meant I had hostess duties – plus I had to make some artwork for them too
The result of all that was that I haven’t had time to do much posting, but I will try to make good on that over the next few weeks.
To start with, here are some of the birthday cards I made in the second half of last year. No instructions this time, as they are all variations on cards I have done before.
