The last day

Another year almost at an end! What will next year bring? Probably better not to know but take it a day at a time. The weather remains dark, brooding and misty. As the ground is so much colder than the surrounding air (we've made it above zero degrees for the first time in almost a month) a fine white fog seems to rise up from the ground which I found fascinating but which proved hard to capture in a picture. Above is the best one I took today and thus it also became my last blip for 2010.

I hardly ever make New Year's resolutions (just as well as I never manage to stick to them anyway) but for 2011 I'm fairly determined to blip every day! It should not prove too difficult as I was taking pictures almost every day even before I started blipping.

I'm also feeling particularly virtuous (which is good on the last day of a year almost gone) as I made Debby's skinny pages. I was due to make these in January so to have them finished already means one less item on the To Do list which will be transferred to the new diary tomorrow. The skinny pages came about because I had left everything I used to make the notecards for Lenna's swap on the table and occasionally my sloppy habits come in handy as all those vintage fabrics brought Debby to mind. She loves vintage and especially vintage images of children. The skinny pages were made very much like the top for the notecards.

I used fabric images and a transparency from Paperwhimsy and added vintage buttons as well as beading around the images with size 11 seed beads.
