I'm happy to say that you can now hop over to Artistic Stamper to see what I've been up to for them after my little theatrical sabbatical.
Sadly, the one thing lost forever in the replacing of the hard drive was my later batch of New York photographs, so there won't be another NY post for now.
But I'm thrilled that they're already looking at ways to get me involved again at Theatre for a New Audience, so I'll have the chance to go and re-take at least some of them at some point in the future.
For now, though, I'm back in the UK, and looking forward to catching up with some sleep, some crafting and some visiting in Craftyblogland, as well as prepping for a whole new Text and Voice challenge which is about to kick off. Life is very exciting at the moment!
I'd love it if you have time to "look at the time" over at The Artistic Stamper Creative Team Blog. And I hope I'll have the time to come and repay some long overdue visits very soon.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.

Welcome back! Hope you've caught up on some sleep. What a shame about your NYC photos, but it sounds like you'll get to go back in the future, so you can retake them. ;) Your AS tag looks wonderful, I'm off to their blog to take a look.......
ReplyDeleteWelcome Home, Alison!! YAY!! Those darn computers!! But I'm glad you didn't lose the pictures of your crafty genius :)
ReplyDeleteThis tag is so classy, Alison :) Love the Gothic embossed background! This is a great design for a masculine card/tag! Oh, you've just given me an idea for my Dad's 75th birthday card!!! YAY! Thanks, Alison! XOXO-Shari

Such a beautiful tag. So pleased your time in the Big Apple were so successful and how amazing to have the possibility of a return trip. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Alison! This tag looks amazing! I'm off to look more closely at AS. Before that, though, I'm so sorry to hear about the IT problems; but what wonderful news that you might have the opportunity to return to NY. Also that whole new text and voice challenge sounds interesting. I heard a Radio 4 show recently - just by chance, while I was crafting - where you were helping Maxine Peake with her Hamlet role! Absolutely fascinating! :) xx
