happy holidays to everyone! i finally made all my christmas cards and home decorations, and thought i'd show them of, in case anyone was interested i'm quite modest when it comes to christmas, i like to keep things simple and somewhat "clean". therefore, white and silver is my theme, as always. like to hear what you'd all think!

first, my christmas cards. most of them contains an english poem (parts of it), since i often find more to choose among there (new poems every year), but my grandparents gets a norwegian (or this year a swedish) poem, since their knowledge in english is quite poor.








and now over to the home decorations. this year i have decided to skip the tree due to the fact that it takes up half the living room! so, instead i came up with these ideas...

i like to draw sketches than maybe in others eyes are not quite finished...i like this half-finished look. maybe i put some color on some of the pictures, but usually not...

i have used ink on all of these

lot me know what you think

hi everyone

i use this opportunity to say yes! and thanks to this great community. i  have been online looking for something like this for ages... most craft sites are quite..dull, but craftster has changed it all, no need for more searching, i have found all i have been looking for, and much much more, here.

so, a few words about myself:

my name is anette, i live in oslo, norway, and i have now been a member for two days i think. i spend a lot of my time on all sorts of crafts, from paper, paintings, drawings, beads, clay etc. i need a lot of choices right now i'm into knitting and sewing, but no finished projects yet in that area.  i'm a perfectionist, so can take a while...

thanks for all the ideas i have found so far, promise to post quite a few myself as soon as i'm allowed to post pictures. i usually post at my homepage too, so you'll find something there already.

thanks for looking and have a wonderful weekend
