The aim of the blog was to make a start on Christmas cards by joining in challenges. So far I think I am doing OK. Despite taking the original stencil cards to pieces, I have twelve cards in my tin.
I've also made an assortment of birthday cards - a 21st card for my nephew, a double twisted easel for my dad (didn't take a photo of that) my sister's card ready for next month & an assortment of cards made with my cuttlebug and an embossing folder. (I forgot to put those cards on here.)
I have found several different challenges to enter - some very convoluted thinking to get cards to fit more than one challenge.
And best of all I am enjoying the card making again & looking forward to each week's new challenges (even if sometimes I am convinced I won't have the ideas or the stash to actually attempt the challenge)
I don't know which is my favourite of all the cards I have made this year - I know which ones I'm not as happy with - whether they stay as they are or get a makeover - only time will tell.
I was given this award by Anne, Thank You!!!!
I have to pass it on to 8 stylish bloggers, & tell you 8 things about myself.
As a new blogger I haven't visited a lot of blogs..........So the people I would like to pass this on to are ...........(will have to think about this.will come back later)

8 things is rather a lot...........
- I collect pigs
- My favourite colour is green
- I love reading and have just got a kindle
- I'm interested in Family History - there is one family story that an ancestor was a bodyguard to Queen Victoria.
- I'm a life member at my local county cricket club.
- I planted a tree in the Amazon rainforest.
- I don't like snow..........at least I don't like it when it was like last year when we had a month of very icy and slippy pavements. This year the snow lasted quite a few weeks again, but it was soft and powdery the whole time. Having said that I don't like snow you won't believe that Antarctica is on the list of places I would like to visit.
- I am a Star Trek fan
Thinks that's all for now..............until the next weeks challenges - if I have time to do them with my nephew's 21st celebrations this weekend.

Thank you Janet for this award and thinking of me. I think I received this one just before Christmas as I remember writing the 8 things about me and realising what a boring person I am! Maybe.
I won't post it up again on my blog - hope you don't mind and won't be offended by that. I do appreciate it but don't want to put the same thing twice.
Good for you on achieving so much with your blog in such a short time. I think I told you that you would soon become addicted.
