What's on my workspace right now? Nothing. Just my mat. I missed checking in with you all last week due to a tree falling on my car during a storm. I won't bore everyone with the details since I posted about it last Friday. But if you would like to read about it you can check here.
Anyway, in the midst of all that drama I did manage to finish five design team layouts. And then I did a big clean-up so I am between projects once again. I think I will go back to working on my mother-in-law's Ireland album until the next kit comes.
I do have a project I can show though. The new issue of Crafting Ireland is up and I have some Christmas tags in there.
The rest of the article is on page 29 with a bit of a tutorial. And they also featured my craft room on page 64 this issue :)
You can see the whole magazine here.
Lots of fun projects this time around and most are Halloween related. Like Felicia's very cool Haunted House and Aideen's amazing home made Halloween Daybook.
I think mine is the only Christmas article in there this time around. But next issue will have a lot more :)
Since school has started and I will be volunteering some Wednesdays there, I may only be able to participate in WOYWW every other week. But I don't want to give it up completely because I look forward to chatting with all of you and seeing what you have been up to :)
And for any of my readers who don't know what WOYWW is but would like to find out more, here is the blog where it all begins - Julia's blog.
Hope you have a great week!
Love your tags they all look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteLove the designs!!
Congrats on the magazine pub!!

ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful collection of tags, Mary Jo! I can't decide which one is my favorite but I do think the misted background on the one on the left is really cool!
ReplyDeletewhat awesome tags!! I have been making tags too! Trying to get ahead of the game!
ReplyDeleteLove the misting on the tag. I am all about the tags — I need to make them early this year for Christmas.

Hope life is returning to normal for you after that storm. Such cute tags! I can't believe I need to start thinking about my Christmas cards!
ReplyDeletecongrats on being published. Great tags.
ReplyDeleteLove the tags. Congrats on being published!
ReplyDeleteGoodness me, I read the post about your van, how awful for you but you are right, at least no one was hurt. Still, until you get your van sorted out it does have a major impact on your life. Hope it all gets sorted soon.
ReplyDeleteLove your tags, they are really beautiful and thank you for the link to the magazine again, I lost the previous one. I want to see all those Halloween projects you mentioned.
Thanks for visiting me, Anne x #13
Love the tags and hope everything gets fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteThe tags are awesome!
ReplyDeleteWorking at the school on Wednesdays sounds like a lot of fun!
I'm off to check out your tutorial and craft room in Crafting Ireland!
I love those tags-I think making tags at Christmas is one my favorite holiday crafts-I get so much joy out of doing them. These are super cute!
ReplyDeleteHey! What a week last week. Glad you got so much done and can move onto other things. Those tags are adorable!!! I loved that OA line.
ReplyDeleteCute tags! I'm still not ready for Christmas. You can't make me!
ReplyDeleteWow what a thing to happen, very dramatic, how could he not see the tree!
ReplyDeleteAnyway your tags are brilliant, especially the one on the left. The colouring is lovely.

Good grief, how fortunate that you weren't in the car at the time!! Just one of those occasions where you just have to give thanks...phew...
ReplyDeleteThose tags are gorgeous, btw, very nice colours and textures!
Hugs, LLJ #1 xx
Your tags are adorable! I know all about having your scrapping plans derailed. I have had very little free time all week...and it has resulted in me just staring at my papers. lol
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's nice to have a clean desk, right? :) Those tags are adorable!
ReplyDeleteEverything is SO clean :) LOL. I love those tags!!! That one with the misting is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are so cute.
ReplyDeleteI plan on making some tags this Christmas as well. Lets see how it goes though.
OMG that is horrible news about the car as you said no one was hurt that is the main thing. Now you can go shopping for a new car LOL Sorry I missed that post, I have been busy this month unbelievably so. Love the tags they are so cute. I plan on making Christmas Tags again this year, primarily DD makes them every year, it is her special thing.....
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by and Happy WOYWW, try hard I know Wednesdays are Volunteer Day it is that way with me too... We love having you around and snooping in your treehouse.

I'm so sorry to hear about the tree falling on your van and I hope it all gets resolved soon. It's so particularly unfair considering you homage a tree in your wonderful and tidy blog nest!
ReplyDeleteYour tags are brilliant and congrats on the publication!! Enjoy the volunteering and we'll see when you can WOYWW! Thanks for coming to visit me earlier! Darnell #145
Congrats on being published! Those tags are really cute. Good for you for volunteering, teachers appreciate it so much when parents give their time to the classroom (former teacher here-33 years!).
ReplyDeleteThose are great tags! And congratulations for getting featured in a magazine! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the mess with your car all sorted out, so that life can go back to normal soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your tags! I'm off to look at the rest of the Crafting Ireland issue now.
So sorry your car was crunched by the tree. I'm so sorry. Must be awful to be without it while it gets repaired.I LOVE being able to get in my car when I like. Hope yours gets fixed very soon.
ReplyDeleteLove those tags!! Clever you!

Thanks for visiting me.
Those tags are adorable!!! I love them all! Glad you're about done with the tree problem.
ReplyDeleteAdorable tags! I am an every other week participant on WOYWW too. Some weeks I post MWF, some weeks I post TTh so I don't make it every week. But I feel the same way, it's too fun to miss out on all the time. :)
ReplyDeleteSuper tags....got to go and look at the magazine now :)
