GIFTS

The last theme for 2008 is GIFTS. We will start again in the New Year with a Guest Designer.

Hope you all have a very Happy Christmas - and thank you for your support of my little blog over the past few months. Wishing you all a very happy 2009.

SAMPLER - TREES

We had some new people playing last week - welcome to Inchies everyone!

Here are a few examples:

TREES

The theme this week is Trees - it can be winter trees, Christmas trees - the choice is yours.


Here's mine:
THIS THEME WILL RUN FOR TWO WEEKS AS WE ARE ALL SO BUSY.

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!!!!

Oh the weather outside is frightful

but the fire is so delightful

and since we've no place to go

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW!

Parts of the UK have had snow the last few days - I'm down in the South and it rarely snows here unfortunately but its bitterly cold today - so I thought our inchies this week should include SNOW!

Here's mine to get you started:

MOZART'S MUSICAL MONDAY

THE MUSIC THEME WILL RUN FOR TWO WEEKS.

THIS WEEK I AM SINGING "QUEEN OF THE NIGHT" IN MOZART'S MAGIC FLUTE AT THE CORN EXCHANGE IN NEWBURY. SO THIS WEEK'S INCHIES HAD TO BE A MUSIC THEME.

5TH NOVEMBER SAMPLER

PLEASE TO REMEMBER THE 5TH OF NOVEMBER

For all our non UK inchy players - in the UK we celebrate 5th November as Guy Fawkes night where we have bonfires and fireworks. Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London in 1605 and, for some reason, ever since we've celebrated this event.

So this week I would like to see Fireworks, Glitter, etc on your inchies.

BOO SAMPLE!

Here's a sampler of our Boo inchies this week:

Daisy

Carole

Diane

Scare us all with your creations then this week!

Just a nudge for the Christmas Inchy Swap - we have 7 so far signed up - only one of our regular players! Come on you lot!!!!! poke poke LOL!

Here's mine - sorry not a brilliant picture is it? Wishing you a fun and blessed Hallowe'en.

AUTUMN LEAVES

All around me in the garden are leaves leaves everywhere. I love the colours of autumn and I quite like all the leaves on the ground - especially when its dry and they're all crisp and you can kick them about. So I'd like to see leaves on your inchies this week! Can u spot the little ladybird on the leaf? The little leaves are eyelets.

THE SUN HAS GOT HIS HAT ON!!!!!!!!!

Well whatdya know! In complete contrast to last week - the weather here in the UK this week has been glorious - we've finally got a little bit of summer - so, to celebrate - this week's inchy is SUN - let's see your fabulous take on this theme - just a little bit of sunshine on your inchies!

Here's mine:

RAIN RAIN EVERYWHERE

I'm early with this week's challenge - making up for lost time! LOL!

As its pouring down today I've chosen Rain or Water for this week's challenge. I'd love to see your take on the challenge.

Here's mine:

LET'S DO SOME STAR INCHIES!!!!

SORRY, ANOTHER WEEK WENT BY - REAL LIFE IS GETTING IN THE WAY OF MY BLOGGING BUT HERE'S ANOTHER INCHY FOR THIS WEEK.





AS ITS GETTING DARKER EARLIER - GRR, I'D LIKE TO SEE SOME STARS ON YOUR INCHIES THIS WEEK.





HERE'S MINE TO GET YOU GOING:

AUTUMN DAYS

Its Monday and we're back on track with a new inchy for this week.





I would say it is definitely Autumn- I'd also say we've had autumn all flippin Summer!!!! LOL!


This is actually my favourite time of the year as I love going foraging and making chutneys and jams etc. Check out my magick diva blog for a receipe for great green tomato chutney!





So, with this in mind - this week's theme is Autumn. I've done some berries - well I've still got strawberries struggling to grow in the garden - and I didn't have a stamp of blackberries!

Thanks for joining in last week's challenge - it certainly was a challenge and you were all up to it. I said there would be a small prize for some lucky blogger and the name out of the hat was:

Joanne

If you let me have your addy Joanne I'll send you a little something! Congrats!

You know what I love about blogging?........

......is the friends I have made, who have never met me - may not even like me if they do - and yet they've missed me not posting. They may live on the other side of the world and still ask how I am.


I've received that friendship this week from Timaree aka Freebird sings - and not only did she send me a message but she got me smiling. She has chosen our Inchy for this week - the title:





I've got the Blah's!!! and here is her inchy.

So for all of us who have lost our mojo's, are crafted out, or just feel down for no reason - here's a great challenge. I'm off to think of what I can do! We'd love to see your creations - and I'll offer a small prize for one lucky blogger!

Here's mine: this poor dog looks so sad!!!
