2008 Stats

This is my last post for 2008 and I thought I'd post my stats for craft items made, number of books read & not finished as well as the movies/TV series* that I watched:
  • Altered Fat Book pages: 6
  • ATCs: 60
  • Bookmark: 1
  • Calendars: 5
  • Cards: 159
  • Books Read: 40
  • Books not finished: 4
  • Movies/TV series watched: 187
*such as Hercule Poirot

I'm no longer making Altered Fat book pages, ATCs or Bookmarks. However, I plan to improve on the stats above, with the exception of Movies/TV Series, I could/should probably cut back on how much I sit in front of the tube.

I also did not achieve my personal goal of making 250 cards. I am happy with what I did achieve, 159 cards, and I do not plan on setting any goals for 2009. I just want to make cards and however many I make, I will be happy with that.

I'm looking forward to 2009 being a great year for achieving many things.

Elle Gee's 2009 Calendar swap - No Theme

Elle actually ran two calendar swaps and I participated in both. I found the No Theme calendar swap harder to do, but in the end I am happy with my pages. I hope you like them both:

Elle Gee's 2009 Calendar swap - Black & White theme

Tonight I picked up the 2009 Black & White theme calendar hosted by Elle Gee. This calendar is fantastic, everyone has done an outstanding job. I believe Elle intends to post the pages on her web site in the next few weeks, so if you have the time, drop over to Elle's page and check them out. Since getting my calendar, I have scanned in my 2nd page. I have only scanned the cover and not the inside. The inside is almost identical to the Match Box card I did at Wrapped in Paper, but this one is only in Black & White. My accent colour is on the front of the card. I hope you like it:

Elle Gee's 2009 Calendar swap - Black & White theme

This is one of the calendar pages I did for Elle Gee's Black & White themed 2009 calendar swap. Unfortunately I forgot to scan in the 2nd page I did. However, the 2nd page was the Match Box card as per the Wrapped In Paper card class - see earlier post.

Wrapped In Paper 2009 Calendar Swap

On Monday night, 8th Dec, I picked up my calendar from Wrapped In Paper. Wrapped In Paper had hosted several calendars for 2009 and the one I participated in was the "Nature" theme. I really would have liked a girlie theme, since that is what I like to do, so I did a girlie theme within Nature. I was very happy with my page and here it is:
