Most of the knitting, crochet, crafting and sewing blogs that I
read have something called The "Tada!" moment, where the writer
unveils a beautiful crochet afghan that she's been working on for months
or a mouth watering handknit sweater, lovely lace scarf - you get the
picture. Unfortunately, my knitting and crochet projects usually have a
big WONKY, often right in the front. With the introduction of fun filters,
like the snow daze app I used on on my Starbucks mitts photo, I've been
able to salvage some of the photos of the bits and bobs I make, but for
the most part, I'm usually pretty disappointed by my handwork. As the
good Queen said, (insert frosty, clipped tone here) "We are not amused."
But miracles do happen, (it is Christmas) and I finally have
a "Tada!" moment! I have produced my very first downloadable pdf with
my drawings as print, color and cut holiday gift tags (above). This is
the first many installments as I will be uploading other kinds of
downloadable art - cards, gift tags, paper dolls, (a personal favorite) as
my online business venture, (Mama gotta keep the lights on around here,
after all) but the annual Christmas gift tags will always be my gift to you.
To download the tags, just pop over to my website, judvalenzuela.com or
even easier, just click on the art itself (above) or the big box with
the crayons right beneath the banner. This magic box of crayons will take
you directly to the coloring book page.
By the way, speaking of the banner, perhaps you noticed that Schrödinger
has found other things to hunt for instead of the snow blower we discussed
in the last post and also, that the title of the blog is slowly being
covered by snow drifts? Once again, "We are not amused."
Thank you so much for subscribing, reading, sharing and forwarding this
blog and links with your friends and family - it's been alot of fun!
Schrödinger and I always look forward to hearing from you, either by
email or comments left on the blog itself.
Have fun shopping and wrapping and cutting and coloring
- just 10 more days!
