This photo didn’t make it into the Dec- Jan newsletter, but I was looking through my hard drive to see what photos I had wisely put on it before my computer crashed a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully, I’m really only missing 6 months of photos. Unfortunately, (you know what I’m going to say scrappers!) I lost 6 months of photos. Ah well.
Enough of that sad tale, I dropped into my blog to say I haven’t forgotten about you…I’ve just got so many lovely things happening that are very secret right now and I have to keep myself from spilling! Some things you already know: an Illustrator class coming out in a month (images of the projects should be up in a couple of weeks), Love Nest™ has been slowly arriving at my house waiting to be quilted (4 bolts and counting!), and a new quilt freshly drawn up (I’ll have it up for download during the month of January-think flags!). Oh, and so many other wonderful things…
In the meantime, I am trying to get into the Christmas spirit (give me a couple more days when all the present shopping is completely finished), drink a little hot chocolate, and cuddle with my girls in front the “The Grinch.” Just hoping I can keep from becoming one myself this year.
Happy Holidays! Carina

Oh Carina!!! I’m SO sorry to hear you lost your pics! I lost about 4 mos of pics this year & am still heartbroken!!
Can’t wait to see your gorgeous fabrics in my local store….
Oh Carina – I am SO very sorry you lost pictures! I had 2 HDs go belly up in one year…so now I have 2 external HD just for pics & digi stuff, a 3rd for a full Time Machine backup, AND everything gets backed up via BackBlaze (think Mozy for Macs) every night. Paranoid? You bet I am!
Hoping your Christmas is full of peace & joy – hugs to you! Meg
So sorry about the lost photos! I lost a few weeks of photos years ago and I still feel sad about those missing 1st zoo trip pictures.
Looking forward to seeing your new quilt design!
Carina…so sorry you lost your pictures. But I’m with you….you still have the memories!!
And I’m excited to hear about your “secrets”!! I’m hoping you get a BOOK deal soon!! I think you are so talented!
And yay me!! I bought the Santa’s Sleigh Kit so now I can make one of those calendars! Thanks for the inspiration.
Merry Christmas!!!
Cute advent calendar! I’m wondering where you got the calendar (or did you make it all?!!). I love it! Merry Christmas!
Lost pictures! Heart breaking! I lost my Halloween pictures (my CF card ate them for some reason??) and I was crushed. Can’t imagine losing half a year!
That advent calender is beyond adorable. Did you buy the box somewhere and add the paper? So cute! I wanted to do an advent calender this year but didn’t even start thinking about it until about Dec. 3rd, haha.
Hi everyone! The advent calendar kit is made by KaiserCraft. You can find it online and at a lot of different scrapbooking stores:)
