Halloween Alice in Wonderland Albums

I started this project some time ago and now have completed the albums! yay loved getting lost in creating and then altering these albums...I started with the basic templates and then had a 'fest' of a few days dabbling with all sorts of Alice in Wonderland paper memorabilia inks, stamps oooh it was delightful...i'd imagined more than 6 impossible things before breakfast...x

Fairie 'Maeve

Inspired by the seasons changing I turned my creative energy toward polymer sculpting and Fairie Maeve was born..... She is a delightful Fairie Queen celebrating Mabon/Autumn Equinox .I haven't sculpted for a year or so the last sculpt being an 'Imbolc Water Sylph' created last year...so this was a wonderful way of harnessing the energy of this new seasons change. I hope to pass her on as the energy she was made in is made for sharing. Happy Mabon and Autumn Equinox to all.

I have had a flurry of inspiration after creating a lovely little album for Monica...I will post photo's of her little album later but I sooo want her to  receive and savour before I share it here.These three albums where the fruits of my inspiration this week ....its a special week for me with birthday, anniversary, son going to university and I was also pondering the forthcoming cooler darker months whilst savouring the 'Indian summer we are having (how i need encouragement to get through those months...one of the album start with my favourite quotes about keeping a 'little bit of summer' for those months ...)these sentiment themed albums came from my 'ponderings' they were lovely to create and would be even nicer to share with someone so again i've listed them as an offering to just that with wishes that they to bring opportunity to savour joy and encourage 'cherishment' of dreams and move through change.

Childhood Memory albums...

The last selection of 'childhood memory albums'........It's the time of year when children are getting their school uniforms ready...to return to school and  preschoolers are preparing for their first taste of reception class ...I rememberer it sooo well as if it were yesterday (although i have to admit i cannot remember what i did yesterday but i can remember those 'back to school days with my son'...call it old age!)...collecting memories from the school holidays and scrap booking them for my son was a great part of the 'breathing space and reflection before diving into a new school year...creating little albums to celebrate achievement and friendships and him just being him also a big part of motiviating him and working through change ...if you were to scroll through this blogspot you would find some..from years ago... Time goes so quickly for us adults as parents and children grow up and move through so many experiences....I'd love to give a few of these to all parents just to offer folks an opportunity to share in the joy keepsaking brings xxx

p.s. I did it this year as well with some photo's and am preparing an 'energetic montage' as a keepsake i'll post it sooon!...

Spring Fling

Am hoping to move on some more cute albums.........I create these little luvlies to my hearts desire and will not be participating in any craft fares this year so they will all be going up for auction........here are the first few..hope they bring someone as much joy as i've had creating them.......I am giving away embellishments (i have such a stash and they need to be shared! ) and hand stamped journalling prompts with the albums to inspire their use...The 'All About Me Albums have been so popular for children...I've made them for some time and although they are all different they all encourage self affirmation and a real celebration of 'me'ness' ...so nice to think someone will be making use of these albums ..I've added the alice in wonderland one of a kind album and two of the seashore mermaid themed ones to the slideshow.
