Welcome to 2021 and Change of Name

Welcome to 2021

 Hi Everyone 

It has been quite a while since I have added anything to this BLOG, 2020 was a long tough year with COVID-19 has touching everyones lives around the world in one way or another, some more than others.  I would like to wish you all a safe wonderful and creative 2021. 

Over the past 12 months I lost my mojo in relation Scrapbooking - family has taken  centre stage for the past two years but more so over the last six months. 

To try and try and get my enthusiasm back I started watching YouTube and over the last three months I have rediscovered my Art again - Thanks to the wonderful Anna Finnabair Dabrowska (or as most of you know her by Finnabair)  and her classes both on YouTube and also through the wonderful Patreon site.  

Although I initially started watching Finnabair's classes on YouTube I joined Finnabair's Facebook page and through this discovered that she has a Patreon page.  I pay a small amount each month and with this I am able to attend her classes online, receive discount coupons, find out about new products prior to release and get invited to the online parties.  The New Year Eve party was fun and very enlightening - even if I did attend it early the next morning because of the time difference. 

I also get notifications about other Facebook classes that she does such as the one that I watched the other day at 5am.  Although I will not decorate a Lamp myself I did pick up some really great tips and ideas. 😀

As part of my new enthusiasm I have also changed the name of this blog to reflect my new direction I am wanting to continue in.  - The new name is now 'Glenda's Creations'.  

Since I started watching these classes I have started decorating book covers and have a couple of examples below. 

This was the first book I did and I think the best so far - I took it to work and duly sold it to one of the lovely ladies at work for her Mother.   

I then went on to make a selection of little books that I did for those little presents for friends at Christmas. 

I enjoyed making this book as I was making it for a colleague who lives in another State and has worked and looked after her children during the continued COVID-19 lockdown. 



I do hope you might be able to find some inspiration from these books.
