Happy new year!

Happy new year to you all! Well, after 5 years of creating art calendar pages I couldn't NOT carry on could I?!  Last year got a bit busy in places and I missed a couple of months but rather than looking back, trying to catch up (which is pretty soul destroying) I decided to look ahead and get ready for the next month. Hey, some months completed is better than no months, right?!

Here's a pic of  the page in progress. I never have an idea in mind for my pages, I just started splashing the paint around and see what happens....


So, who's still doing the challenge? We've got a large and very active group on *Facebook here* so come and join us!
You can also find a group on *Flickr here*

As more and more of us seem to be moving over to Facebook to share our calendar pages I will no longer be providing a link on this blog post but do feel free to leave a comment below with a link to your blog :-)

And finally, my on-line buddy Karen shared an idea the other day, which caught my eye, and I can't resist joining in! All you need is a jam jar, and then throughout the year you write down any achievements, things you are proud of, special memories etc, and pop them in the jar. Then on new year's eve 2015 you take them all out, read them and give yourself a pat on the back! Not too arduous, but could be fun!


Happy new year everyone! Hope you all have a fabulous and artful 2105 :-)

    Your calendar has the makings of being a real beauty for January. I was a bit sad to read that you will no longer be offering the link, because there are still a few of us who are NOT on either Facebook or Flickr. For me, it's a time concern and a very slow computer. But since I've always just been a blogger, I'll still follow along with your calendar pages, as I complete mine and start my fifth year with you.

      Hi Elizabeth, yes I thought long and hard about it. The thing is I have to pay a subscription fee to add links to a blog post and not many people were using it. You can still leave a link here of course :-) And I'm so glad you are still making calendar pages!
