That Was The Year That Was!

Yes....all good things must come to an end!
You may have noticed a subtle change in my side bar ;)

I had delivery of the new Craft Stamper magazine on Saturday (only just got round to opening it!)  and the newly crowned Craft Stamper of the Year is there!
Such a wonderful piece of work :)
My lips are sealed as the winner may not know yet....as I did not last year!!

Wishing all good things for the lucky winners and if they are half as pleased as I was they will be in orbit already! LOL
So..........I was thrilled....thrilled...thrilled.......to have been Craft Stamper of the Year :)

...I wanted to do so much more though during the past 12 months but life put a spanner in the works!
I hope I've lived up to the title with the pieces I've shown here.
...as my profile says "Constantly striving to improve"

Thanks for reading my babble again today ;)...and thank you for being there for me
....each and everyone of you who take the time to leave me a comment
.....and those who just come to take a look see too ;)
...you don't know how much it has meant and how much it still means to me.
See you soon with some inky stuff LOL.

..I'll leave you with one of my favourite T!m quotes "Enjoy the Journey"

xoxo Sioux

P.S. Get this.......I needed new black casual indoor jog type pants from M&S and yesterday I came away with a size 14!!!!!!!!!!
There is no accounting for sizing these days ;)

  4. Well Sioux I would never have 'met' you if you hadn't won, and I'm incredibly happy to have your blog to pop into and admire, I think you've done more than live up to the title. Particulalry as it has been a year in which you've had to force yourself into forward thinking. All power to you gal, and if blogging has helped for one second during your darker days, then your blog followers like me are happy.

  6. You most certainly have lived up to it Sioux. I have had a lot of inspiration from you over this past year since I began following your blog.
    You've had a tough time, but your art has been constant.

  8. Hey girl! I would never have met you had you not been a beautiful, extremely talented crafter. However, I really must admit that living where you do did it for me!! LOL Seriously though, having had the great pleasure of actually meeting you and learning that you are not art trained (still find that hard to believe) you gave me a little lift because, although I could never create the amazing art that you make, I can at least have a go. For that, without all the rest, I thank you for your input into the crafting world of 2010.
    Much luv Joanne xx

  9. You've more than lived up to your title, Sioux and you'll be my Craft Stamper for ever. I love the things you create and I would love to be able to do things with half as much flair. You are a true inspiration both in your artwork and your outlook in life. You've had the most awful year, I can't imagine how you've coped and yet you blog with good humour and not a moan or a mop. I love stopping by and are so pleased to call you a blogging buddy. If we have helped just a tiny bit, as Julia says, I am so happy.
    Take care my friend
    Hugs Lisax

  12. This is such a wonderful useful resource that you are providing and you give it absent free of charge. I love seeing web sites that understand the value of providing a quality useful resource for free. It?s the old what goes around comes around program..
