Journal pages and old scans I had forgotten

I had the sofas and the gold there already. The stamp was from a thank you letter from our nephews-they always send one for presents and we love getting them. I scanned the stamp to enlarge it for the December page, then had the idea for finishing my next 'on the sofa' page. Once I had stuck on Mary and Jesus then the gold reminded me of angels.

Some fun things from December. The bear is a napkin from New Year-Andy went shopping with Alwyn and they had instructions to choose festive napkins(only part of a very long list!) The blue paper is from a Cafe Nero bag from breakfast at the Eurostar station-it contained a delicious almond croissant-no wonder I don't lose any weight! The bag is such a lovely deep blue.

On The Sofa

My sofa and other sofas in other people's houses have seen rather a lot of me recently. DFS are trying to sell me sofas by giving me endless booklets picturing them. Out of these circumstances the 'On The Sofa' series came. It is as simple as it seems. I have a few more sofas stuck down and will continue to fill them over new year.
The carambar caramel that came from the paper acting as the rug in number one was delicious!

Number two-reading a Christmas book. This year I was lucky to receive two books. One is about teaching art and how to talk about paintings to children-it looks very interesting. The other is a great step by step photographic cook book from my Mum who was most sympathetic about my recent cooking disasters. It makes things look very easy. We shall see!

Number three is what sofas are perfect for-cuddling-in this case a cat! Not sure what happened to the legs in this one though!

The last few days have been hectic and I have not had the time to visit all of my lovely blog friends. I hope to do so after the new year! I wish you all a very happy new year and all the best for 2010! Make sure to spend some quality time on sofas!
