    Well it was 3 months well spent! Hope your brother loves it. :)

    Didn't get any cards done last night! Gosh, I'm so useless! I got distracted by putting out some Christmas decorations instead! :o I need to make at least one by the weekend as we're going to visit friends so have to take it with us. :)

    Wow is all I can say!!!



    To the ladies doing buscilla kits, how are they coming along?


    I'm quite pleased that I finished all my magnet pegs, a project started a long time ago, I didn't need to buy anything to finish at all. I also made lots of Christmas trees from sweets, I had fizzy belts to use up and I used up lots of random bits of ribbon

    Well so much for my high hopes of getting rid of stuff by crafting for DGDs school fare. It was very disappointing I took only £15 and the rest of the things are back here, four big boxes of them, but her tombola went really well and she made £80.

    I felt so sorry for the people who paid 12.50 for their stall most didn't make it back. We didn't have to pay as the kids who took park were allocated free stalls.

    I did do very well on the raffle though and won 5 prizes.

    Norfolk is not a good place to be in at the minute. Am hoping the water is going to stay away from me as if not i may not have much stash left to craft with :(

    Hi guys, well the good news for me is that the water missed me - the bad news is there is due to be another surge in about 15 mins :( Keeping my fingers crossed and going to make a couple of cards to pass the time :) Am hoping it is all over very soon and my heart goes out to all the people affected xx


    Thanks for all the well wishes will hopefully be able to add to my crafty total very soon :)

    I was going to go to a craft fair today but instead I have spent much of the day in my craft room inspired to begin the 500 challenge.

    (1/500) finish off the Christmas tree I started earlier in the week using recycled magazines. I used up a can of aerosol glue and a pot of glitter.
    I got the idea on You Tube and I am really pleased with it.
    (2/500)Three Christmas tea light holders using recycled Gu dessert pots and decorated with ribbons, paper, glitter and gems.
