Trick or Treat: Dia de los Muertos Banner

 Dia de los Muertos

 Happy Halloween!

Julie and Kirsty over at Copy + Paste are hosting a Halloween party today. Make sure you check out both of their blogs and the links that they will be sharing, for all sorts of clever tricks. They've very kindly offered a treat to go with it if you're joining in with their 12 Days Workshop: trick or treat!

PS, I've got to get up stupidly early to go to college, but I will be back later on and joining in the fun.

It's A Creative World: Christmas Organiser

I have a new blog post up at It's A Creative World, featuring downloadables for making yourself a cute kraft paper and scallop Christmas address book and organiser. There have been lots of great Christmas ideas going up all month, so check out my post and then browse around for awhile. And yeah, I know it's early, but I like the illusion that I will be all organised and on top of things, right?

I'm an Online Workshop Hoor, Me

I love my 'internet friends'. Don't get me wrong, of course I love my 'real life' friends too, and in a very different way. Many of my internet friends are people that I have met face to face, but only once or twice. The intermawebs allow us to make connections with folk that we may not meet otherwise, with shared interests and values. Sure, some of those connections are more real and lasting than others, but even at it's most shallow, you get that happy feeling that a good gathering can give.

Recently my online class habit has grown out of control. That's a confession for another time. November sees me with only two though.

Over in the 12 Days class secret blog, Kirsty and Julie have given us a fun quiz to keep us busy and stop us from wrecking the place while we wait for the workshops to begin. And they've kindly said we could share, so here goes. I'll underline my first instinct decisions. (oops, some I couldn't choose!)

ink OR paint

grungy OR clean (totally depends on the project)
