A Look back at 2013! and things to come in 2014...

Hey y'all!

So i thought i'd pop by and take a look back at 2013 with the new year upon us and for many people around the world it's already 2014!!! Happy new year to those! We've still over 6 hours till midnight here in the UK! So i thought i'd stay in tradition and pick a creation/news from each month of 2013 that best represents my work and achievements in 2013! So let's go!

Jan 2013 January 2013 saw Charisma Cardz Challenges turn 4!!! eeeep!!! and what's more we're about to turn 5 this coming week!!! :) Feb 2013
Feb saw the brand new digi company Time For Tea Designs officially kick off and i was so proud to be able to become a designer for the lovely jo on her team! March 2013 March was a pretty quite month for me! Never the less i spent a fortune at the nec!
April 2013 It was a tough choice for Aprils card i love most of my creations this month! 
May 2013 I seemed to have tried alot of new techniques out in may inc brayering needless to say i've errr neglected that brayer since may! eeek! June 2013 This was my favourite card from June, however June saw me get back into scrapbooking once again! so i'm picking a layout too this month!
July 2013 July was a busy month for me always is being my birthday month! and prepping for our summer hols! alot of my friends also decided it was time for babys! hehe!  Aug 2013 August saw me published in Die Cut Crazy Magazine! wahooo! i was thrilled to be contacted! totally over the moon!
As August was my main holiday month i couldn't pick just one favorite creation so here's a ''few'' of my favs! My Heart Button Frame! And my favorite layout of my kitty! Sept 2013 September was a life changing month for me in many ways than one and in the crafting world that was no different... this bad boy came to live with me....
and boy did it open a whole new world for me!!! here's two of my fav creations (card wise)
and and not forgetting my favourite creation was of course my music note frame which Danny Mercer saw on twitter (can be seen on his profile!!!! eeek!!!) and not forgetting has been sent to Pitbull too!  Oct 2013 Oct saw me become an official Die Cut Crazy Magazine contributing editor! how thrilled was i to be asked! i still can't believe it when i see the magazines each month!!!  Nov 2013 My advent calendar was defo my most epic creation of the entire year well in my eyes! i loved making it! Dec 2013 well december was amazing!
I was on the front cover of Die Cut Crazy....
I was inspired beyond words (see this post) And i beat my mom at the door decorations for christmas this year!!!
2013 Has been a rough ride for me outside of crafting with life in general things i've never thought i'd ever have to go through i've had to endure and find the strength to get through even when i've thought i couldn't find that strength! But i did and i feel amazing that i held it together, I know there's much more to come on my journey but i'll get there and when i do i hope to share the most amazing news with you all.... fingers crossed i can share that in 2014 with you all!  2014 holds many things for each of us and i hope that I get that one wish this coming year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!!

I'm off for a well earned Chinese and a few alcoholic beverages with my family! Love & Peace
