greentiger

Thank you, ziggy! If he brings it over here, I think I will put a couple of darts in the face mask (maybe even add eyeholes) and also change shape of top of hood.

Oh well, on to some more cardmaking for a wee change

Well, I'm off now for a cuppa and quick tidy round then this evening I'll be cutting tulle for a wreath. Keep up the great work everyone, cant wait to see what you're all up to.

2 more cards - and still no dent in my stash. I'm even putting stuff in the bin that I would usually keep!

Unfortunately I haven't done a very good job with the pics.

This one is for a friend who does a lot of work for charities and who is very kind to people in need.

The next one is for my granddaughter, who will be 3 in just over a week's time.

Wow your cards are lovely - especially the top one

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on here for a while. I'm still crafting - have set myself a challenge to go through a project book and do my own version of each project at the moment. I'd be more creative but I'm going on holiday next week and then when I come back my book is being launched, so my head isn't really in craft mode!

Sounds like a brilliant plan Aegean and welcome

I'd love too see some pics when they are finished

I'll share some pics when they are done! For the time being, here's an earwarmer headband I made to sell out of some beautiful leftover merino yarn...

Hi all,


I love all your makes ziggy, greentiger and Aegean. They are all super fab. Keep up the great work.


Highland_Lass - I'm not brilliant with uploading photos to the thread either. I think you have to upload them to somewhere like flicker or photobucket or you can upload them onto your facebook profile and then copy the link on here as well I think but I really am not the best person to give advice


I am desperately trying to tidy and organise my craft room again. I haven't bought anything else since my last confession but I swear it's getting fuller everyday!!!


I have realised that I really do need to get creating to start using up some stuff (and then hopefully it will all fit in!!!) and to start organising and stop buying until it really does all fit!!!


I tidied up my paper and cardstock yesterday and kit looks so much better and more importantly it is now stored correctly so no more bent corners or creases for me. I also went through all of my blank cards and matched the envelopes to the correct sizes. I ended up with lots of spare envelopes which I've got to decide what to do with but being a crafter I just can't bring myself to throw them away!!!


I also found time to make 12 quick Christmas cards using digi images I had previously printed off and some old sentiments which came free with a magazine donkey's ago. I also used up some cardstock and blank cards and envelopes obviously


Not a massive dent to my total but every little helps


Hope you can all start to see a bit of a dent in your stash - happy stash busting everyone

OOOOOhhhhh I've just noticed I'm exactly half way on my total - that's made me feel a little better Until I think I only have one and a bit more months for the other half


Best get making

greentiger

My grandkids are destashing a mountain of stuff right now. Won't be anything to show for it, but I'll count it as 4 items (2 each) and that'll include all the scraps that'll get swept into the bin! They have already demolished a glue stick! Every little counts.

craftingmad

I've just managed a scrapbook page and my little man is starting his own scrapbook so he will be helping with the destashing but I won't count the pages until they are finished


Declaring another 1 towards the total though for my page which I have just made:)


I'm now officially over half way

Highland_Lass_2

Will have a go tomo uploading pics. Have now made 37 reindeer soup, 9 cards, 23 fridge magnets, and about 50 mixed Mistle Toes and Merry Kissmass & a Chappy New Year. Have been able to use bits & pieces from my stash but also had to buy a lot. Oh forgot made 2 Cheeky Monkey Soups for an order today. Sold £30 of peel offs, ink pads, stamps etc so that made a little dent too.
