New Year Celebrations!

Hi Everyone!! 
I'd just like to wish you all a 

Happy New Year !!

Here's hoping it's a good one!!

Have you made lots of New Year resolutions?? I'm rubbish at keeping them but after trying to tidy up my room this morning I am really beginning to think I should go on a stash diet .... I didn't really realise how many stamps I have collected this year and how many have not been used - OOPPPSS!! Along with papers I should have enough to last me for at least a year! I've also resolved to try to tidy up as I go along but I can't see that lasting as it doesn't come naturally (or even reluctantly) to me ... LOL!

I grabbed a bit of time to play this afternoon and decided to get cracking and ink up a new HM stamp I got for Christmas - no time like the present and all that.... and I thought these cuties were quite appropriate for New Year celebrations!

Apologies for the photos, my camera is refusing to see gold glitter properly .... looking forward to Spring and some decent light already!!

Here's a closer look at the little mice mounting an expedition to grab that olive! 
This stamp is quite small and quite fiddly to colour, thank heavens for fine nibs.
The streamer and the glass have some glitter pen highlights IRL!!
