Long story! but here goes - all about UFO's and I'm sure some of you have followed my myriad posts about them over the last 2 1/2 years (OMG that long!!!)
So January 2007 a group I was a member of got an email saying ok - how many UFO's do you have? We all have heaps so - lets make a list. mmm yes I foolishly did as did most other members and we all laughed at how many of these projects we had sitting around!
Next thing we knew we were given a work list - lol - I want you to finish THIS project THIS month!!!!! Now that was just down right sneaky - none of us ever really thought we would finish them, did we??
Well it did sort of put a bomb under me I spent the next 12 months finishing at least one object or project every month, and to my shame I am still doing that - one day I will get them all done I promise!!
So the end result - well I finished more projects than anyone else (fact is I probably had more than everyone else as well!) so I won - a mini book!!!! LOL yep it has been sitting around as an UFO for over a year now! Someone will be soooo glad to see that I have finally finished it! maybe I should have just gone with the paint finish rather than the wall paper - cutting around those curves with the scalpel certainly gave the hands a work out - consequently it did get put aside 1 four or five times!
strangly enough I have used it as a record of thsoe UFO's I finished back in 2007!
Oh! and just to prove that I haven't been totally slack -ok so the blog front I am always slack on - however I still scrap a bit - This was another UFO and a new one! Club scrap put out this gorgeous kit to make a kaleidoscope - soooo cool! and it's not just the kids that love it! What is it about sitting out in the sun and twirling this thing near your eye watching all the colours and beads create patterns. Maybe I still want to be a big kid??
The other was a mini book - with way too much journaling, one of the transparent albums, I kept it pretty simple as you can see - but did finally manage to use one of those sonnets mini albums, I think I bought them back in 2001?
OK - more UFO's to complete - maybe in 2015 I will have finished them all?? If I am lucky!!
