New Years Resolution and the Weekly ATC diary

I have made a News Years Resolution to try to at least put up a post a month on this poor neglected blog. As a beginning I have started on the weekly atc diary challenge which Redcrystal of the yahoo group ATCs4U has started. If your interested come and join. This blog http://weekly-atc-diary.blogspot.com/ tells you everything you need to know. This week the ATC front is to be your name and its meaning. I went to town (well not quite the capital city, you know just down town, as I haven't journalled on the backs yet) and made two atcs with different meanings of my name. One is Spanish meaning Pretty or Pretty one. The other is English meaning lime tree or linden tree. There is also a German meaning but it is snake and I'm not really into them so I'll give that a miss.



The backgrounds are glimmer misted, I have stamped and heat embossed the tree and name plate, just printed out the words and distress inked them and a dictionary meaning added an image on the spanish one and some bling and trinkets. TFL

Hello 2009

Well this New Year was quieter than many others. We had a few over of food an drinks. This year is the warmest New Year that I can remember since we've been here - around 8 years. We were a few down at our New Years party - my poor DS with a broken foot that wouldn't mend and BIL and SIL whos very elderly doggie had his last night on earth. Fingers crossed this year is much kinder to many of my family and friends who did it tough last year.

Anyway on a much happier not DH got the tractor he has been wanted for a long time and as soon as he had a spare weekend he turned our old ride-on mower into an electric garden cart - why you might - well because he could.

Hugs to anyone who bothers to read this blog and I hope 2009 works out fab for you.
