Our calling card booklet

Our friend Sandie (with whom we met up back in the summer) gave us this book . .

. . . which we have found very useful and inspirational. It gave us some really great ideas on how to successfully run and promote our business, and to enable others to really "get" what it is we are about.

We decided that a visualization of our multi-talents was what was need, so we cracked on to make one. We started with a 7 page children's card book, which we cut apart to give us individual pages to work on (we used dots and spots tape to bind the cut edges).

We printed off a page of words that describe what we do,

then we set about making up our own individual pages, using paper, scissors and glue to give a colourful depiction of how we go about our work.

We are delighted with the end product, and will be showing it off to our friends whenever they ask us what we are currently up to.

The finished "calling card" book, joined with colourful ribbon - front and back

Thanks so much to Sandie, both for the original book and for the book-making ideas.

Week 52, and farewell, friends.

Well, what would you know? It's been raining again.

She loves her new 2014 brochure, I'm sure she'll be sharing it with you all soon on her own blog Daisy Row

 

We had pork for dinner on Christmas Day.

 

I tried to help them with their jigsaw puzzle, it's a very hard one, I think they need all the help they can get.

It was a lovely sunny day, so we took a walk around the lake in the park.

I love this, she has it on her studio door and at the top of her blog, it was made for her by Tracy (Mad About Bags).

Look at this card that he gave her, he's such a lovely man.

And here is one last picture of me for this year, contemplating the future.

I hope you've enjoyed my year as much as I have, I'm now going into retirement. She'll be doing another 365 for 2014 which she'll start tomorrow or sometime soon, you can find it here.

Happy New Year to all my followers, and thanks for joining me on my travels.

Week 51, almost there

My visit to see Santa, and to ask him for a peaceful New Year

I've enjoyed watching this blanket grow over the past couple of months, hope the recipient enjoys it too.

Our last pub visit of the year, to the Snooty Fox, love their tree lights.

The poinsettia doesn't smell of anything much, but it looks very nice

We really love this wine

A letter to our penfriend in U.S.A. although it wont go in the post now until after the celebrations and should arrive early next year.

My official portrait

Next week will be my last, then I'm going off to pastures green to enjoy my retirement. Wishing you all a very happy festive season and all good wishes for 2014
