Theme: what are your 'Resolutions/Intentions' for the New Year and 'New Years Eve 2115'
HAPPY New Year to all of you in the Kollage Kit Group and Visitors!
I'll be happy to choose the subjects in the first 2 months of 2016!
Probably for most of us this were busy weeks without much time for collaging, so I thought we could extend Angie's subject from last week 'New Year's Eve 2115' and add a list of good 'Resolutions/Intentions' for the New Year.

This Happy Breed
One from the archive as I am up to my neck in wrapping paper and playing with my new toys! Hope to get back to some snipping when my new EK scissors arrive from the States soon ( Santa forgot them!). Happy New Year all!
THEME: New Year's Eve 2115
Michael is most likely so wrapped up in holiday cheer, I am jumping into the breech.
So dust off those "crystal balls" and see what the future holds in store!
And who is willing to choose the first round of themes for 2016?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

for my faithful correspondent
I'm not quite back yet, but I am able to climb the stairs on my hands and knees—no easy feat!—and (finally!) get to my studio. That's where I got the background paper, did the painted white lines, cut up the red & blue & patterned paper, and found the "Peace" & "Brother" stickers in Sticker Bomb's alphabet book. The rest I did downstairs with a stencil, rub-on letters, letter stickers, and rubber stamps.. My poor beleaguered husband Bob had to do the scan and upload.
This is actually a Winter Solstice collage, 'cause I'm a pagan. I'm sending this postcard to just about the only person who mailed me anything during the many months I've been disabled. He sent brilliant collage postcards with delightful mini-essays on the backs, about three or four of them a week.... hence the title.
I'm still confined to a wheelchair for almost everything I do. I've been working hard for months to get to the point where I can stand up readily and take a few steps. I'm going to keep working hard until I can walk, drive, and get my life back. But my damaged legs are balky, so progress is two steps forward, one step back.
Happy Longest Night, y'all, and have a Cool Yule! =grin= At dawn tomorrow the sun will begin its annual return—yay!

Theme of the Week - SEASONS GREETINGS!
Seems a perfect week to send each other some Xmas cheer and wishes for a peaceful New Year! If you are too busy to make something new we understand - it's a busy time of year, presents to buy, puddings and cakes to make, decorations to put up etc. Have fun!

Weight
I have to confess this is one from the archives (ATC)-
but I did not expect that I have so much to do during the "tranquil" Advent Season
(I certainly know that this is not a tragic individual destiny).

'Oh, Mother!?!' ...(Cosmic soup again!)
This is a recent collaboration collage Sabine and I made.
One of 12 different front covers of a magazine for housewives back in the fifties called 'Moeder'.
I thought this one fits the theme.

Theme of the Week - FISH AND CHIPS
This theme is for Archie who hasn't uploaded any of his collages yet but I know he's made lots of fish inspired collages recently so hopefully he'll share them here! It could also be about food in general or the sea. The choice is yours - have fun!

'O Dad!'
Daddy makes us happy!
Pffft that was just in time ;))
It took me awhile this week to come up with the right images and be content with it.
