Coming down out of the freezing sky with its depths of light, like an angel, or a Buddha with wings, it was beautiful, and accurate, striking the snow and whatever was there with a force that left the imprint of the tips of its wings — five feet apart — and the grabbing thrust of its feet, and the indentation of what had been running through the white valleys of the snow — and then it rose, gracefully, and flew back to the frozen marshes to lurk there, like a little lighthouse, in the blue shadows — so I thought: maybe death isn’t darkness, after all, but so much light wrapping itself around us — as soft as feathers — that we are instantly weary of looking, and looking, and shut our eyes, not without amazement, and let ourselves be carried, as through the translucence of mica, to the river that is without the least dapple or shadow, that is nothing but light — scalding, aortal light — in which we are washed and washed out of our bones.

Left of Center.....New Challenge


Today's cards are design team makes for the wonderful team over at Left of Center Creative challenges. A new challenge has just begun and will run for the next week. The theme for this challenge is Christmas Colours. I have chose to work with red, green and gold but of course you can use whatever colours are your favourite at this time of year. And of course, as usual, you always have the option of going LOC. For all details about that, please pop over to the LOC blog. In last weeks challenge we had 3 entries that were LOC and they were fab.


We are so lucky this week to have been sponsored by the fabulous team over at Kenny K. Why not pop over and take a look. There are lots of different styles and you are sure to find one that you love.



 I'm here in the mountains being driven slowly insane by the cats..all wanting to go out and then wanting to come back in because it's so cold. Gannie of course has an awful lot to say because it's quite frosty in places and he still hasn't got the hang of the crunchy stuff..lol. Nicademus keeps going to the window..looking out and then running back to his cat tunnel.  bought the tunnel as a toy for the cats and Nicademus has taken it over. Now he won't let anyone else go into 'his tunnel'. except for Obie who has been his concubine since she was 4 weeks old. She took one look at him and it's been love ever since. It's quite funny to see them both squeezed into the tunnel. At the moment Simon and Raven are wanting to go out..I know if I let them, they'll be back within minutes. I have a feeling that it's going to be one of those days..lol

Well the coffee is calling and then it's back to work.The cats are already twinkling with glitter..lol. and it's nearly time to get it out again. I'm still working on my list and finally I can see an end in sight. That is unless the phone rings again.I may even get to make my own cards sometime this week..lol. So until next time...take care and happy crafting.

Left of Center..............New Challenge

Here I am again..finally. Bt is playing up at it's best and managing to make me swear that much..the air is blue..lol But enough moaning and on with my chat. This creation is a design team make for the great team over at Left of Center Creative Challenges. A new challenge is just about to begin and will run for the next week. The theme for this week is distressing. Of course, as always, you have the option of going LOC...for all details about that, please check out the LOC blog.

We are so lucky this week to have been sponsored by the fabulous team over at Kenny K designs.
As all of you that have been following the tales of Simon the Brave..you will know why I just had to do this design. When I was looking through a whole range of great images, I spotted this image of a super cat and just had to do it. I created the background first..the brick wall and the torn paper..so it seemed as if he was jumping through the wall..a little like the Felix advert..lol. I coloured the cat image with my promarkers and then cut him out and placed him on the background. This will be going to hang in my bathroom, alongside all the other spider makes and stand testament to my brave boy..lol.

It's been a lovely day today and the evening is glorious. All the cats are still outside..they only seem to want to come home to eat and then when it gets dark to trample me at bedtime..lol. I had a lovely afternoon watching the athletics and the gymnastics and I have more to look forward to tomorrow. I have all my crafting ready..so I can craft away whilst watching all the people who manage to do things that I've never been able to. In the gymnastics it's the beam that goes through me..I wouldn't even have been able to walk on it...even in my good days.

Well the coffee is calling and then it will be time for dinner. It's my favourite tonight..fish, new potatoes and salad. I'm thinking of doing maybe meatloaf for dinner tomorrow but that thought may change overnight. I hope that you all have a great weekend and I'll be back on Monday with another creation. So until then..take care and happy crafting.
