I've just blogged my entry for this weeks challange set by Lilly 'We're all going on a summer holiday'

I had to go out & buy some more Dominos today, I've become hooked! :rotfl:I got a selection of old stamps from Oxfan too so I'm going to have a play tonight with sticking some to the donimo tiles

chuggingtongirl: thank you very much . I use photobucket to upload pictures to the thread. Just go to www.photobucket.com to open an account. Then you upload your picture to the website. If you click on the picture you want to put onto a thread you will see that there is some links for this picture at the side, use the IMG link, copy and paste it into your reply on this thread and when you post your reply you will see a picture where you put the link . I hope I have explained that ok, its really simple when you go to do it so dont be put off if I have made it sound complicated!

CraftyJuJu: yay I love your bag charm and charm bracelet . I was hoping someone would use fimo in their make . Also can I ask where you buy the chain from you use? I really like the pattern of it.

Im off to a caravan for 5 days next week with my OH as we have been together for 8 years on the friday so are having a break together. And Im convinced him to let me take my jewellery kit hehe So hopefully I shall be doing lots of new makes next week .

I ordered those book marks yest and they arrived today! I was so shocked as thats pretty quick even for ebay!

so Im going to make one later....can I check what wire you can use with these? or would I be best putting a ring then chain and hanging beads from the chain? if that makes sense.

Im going to do some research now and see what others are like so I can get more if an idea but if anyones got any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated

Giggles thanks for the photos thing - will do that at the weekend as I want to take some more photos

Wow that is great service chunnningtongirl! Can you post a link to the item? It would be useful to know incase we need an item quickly. For my bookmark I used some chain and attached the beads to it using a head pin and a ring. But I have seen others where people have used wire also. I have only made two so far so have no really experimented with the style yet.

Looking forward to seeing you pictures

I've not made a book mark yet (have all the bits!) but I was planing on making one like Giggles-Fairy has said x

I've just blogged (twice today!) one is of a present & card I have made a friend at work for her 30th bithday, a bag charm & the other is pictures of all the Domino tiles I have altered & glass tiles I have made since last night, I'm shattered & my nails are wrecked from the glue! I was thinking of listing the Domino tiles at £1 each then having the option to pay a little more to have them made into a badge/magnet/charm ect, does that sound an ok price? x

Thanks juju and giggles.

it was sanctuary beads which Im sure people have said are good before but Ive never had the funds to look before and had forgotten about it until I searched under book marks and saw them

Juju I have sent you a PM as I think Id like another domino if thats okay? I love your new ones as they all look lovely.I can see you being very popular with those!

Giggles_Fairy

Oh yeah Sancturary Beads are fab. I have ordered from them before and also recieve it quickly.

This is my challenge piece for this week. I started it on Monday but its been hectic with the school winding up and all the parties/displays etc. As the theme is summer holidays ive made a selections of charms that remind me of being wee and going to the seaside with my Gran and Papa plus every other holiday involved the seaside, either with my parents and sisters or friends. These are things my kids will recognize as our holidays this year and last year are all by the sea.

I always remember sandcastles, ice cream, sticks of rock, buckets and spades and ice lollies.

I plan to give this wee charm bracelet to my DD (4) she saw me making it and thinks they are all cute.
