For a few months I have been wondering if I have the time to devote to this challenge page and if it should continue into 2022. I ended last year undecided.</p><p>However, the events of the new year have sort of made it irrelevant. I have had a funny start to the new year with a busy Christmas season, and family events intruding on our time. Then I got a frozen shoulder and could not use a keyboard. </p><p>Some of you may know that my husband is not that well. He is actually physically better than he has been for a while but he has had a diagnosis of dementia. Sorting out the medical care, the legal and financial stuff and taking over the outside jobs and house maintenance, as well as my Uni commitments AND trying to craft was impossible. I am now my husband's Carer: luckily he has qualified for a Federal Government Level 4 Aged Care plan which we now have nearly in place. One needs a tertiary degree to work all that out, I have decided. So hard to navigate. Add in a few physical issues on my side and it all imploded. </p><p>So... after all that, Unstampabelles will no longer continue for the time being. It is going into cold storage for the foreseeable future. I know there are two outstanding winners to be sorted still. I will get to them in the next week. This is the first time I have sat at the computer to do anything other than play a game or scroll through facebook. </p><p>Thank you for all the people who have contacted me with messages. I am OK and hopefully my neck will get better quicker too! Thank you to the people who read the posts and who entered the challenges too. </p><p>A special BIG THANK YOU to my amazing Design Team. So patient and good. I am sorry ladies that this is the end of the team for the time being. Thank you for all your wishes and assistance. </p><p>Everyone - keep safe and stay positive: craft up a storm and send out cards to all your friends!</p><p><br /></p>Susan Hoganhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08133629881593347280noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546993816848182627.post-63244024859675644722021-12-27T16:38:00.004+11:002021-12-27T16:38:54.642+11:00Merry Christmas and last week for Challenge#118: The Most Wonderful Time of the Year<p style="text-align: center;"> Welcome Peeps!</p><p style="text-align: center;">So sorry this is late - I was taking some time off.</p><p style="text-align: center;">I hope you all had a great Christmas and that Santa arrived with the goodies required.

The trouble is, if it is a ripping yarn, I will read it from cover to cover regardless of the time, meaning I often will still be up reading at 4.00 am. So I have to ration what I read. Currently I have about five books on the go - ones I can pickup, read a chapter (ie Soil by Matthew Evans - its about dirt) and put back down. I like some autobiographiy styles too for this (Julia Gillard's book on Women and Power is great). Others I have to concentrate to get the characters back into my head and often I will only read for a bit - it gets too desperate or horrible or I am bored I put it back into the pile and go to bed. Some however, I devour - and these are the dangerous stories, because I pay for the loss of sleep and the story will often resonate in my head for days too. </p><p style="text-align: center;">At one stage I thought I might write a story too but that is much harder than I anticipated.</p><p>However, people all have personal stories too. I have found in art journalling that I tend to want to tell a story, usually my own. I also belong to a few art journalling websites and that seems to be the theme of the majority of the layouts presented on these sites. Some stories are secret and covered up - some are all out there for all to see. This story telling aspect has also affected my card making lately too...hence the theme of October</p><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center;">#116: Everyone has a Story<b style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> <span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></h3><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; position: relative; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px;"> </span></h3><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b><span style="color: red;">TWIST:</span></b> <b>use a page from a book somewhere in your piece</b></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; text-align: center;">(This use of a page is problematic also - the idea of tearing out a page horrifies me so I go for old books and try not to wince when I rip.
