stash busting - I will use my mountains b4 buying more!

I've been filling up some junk journals - about another 10 pages so far (there's more - but some weren't as heavy on decorations as others so I'll under count)...

planning to bottle up a lot of booze this afternoon so that will add to the totals nicely. and get some sorting done for Christmas...

I need to find a shop to buy a single bottle for one of them... But that's a gift so allowed under my rules- especially as it makes the Christmas prezzie super easy...

Just made a large bauble/orbal to hang from the ceiling out of last year's Christmas cards that were cluttering up my Christmas craft box

If you don't mind me asking, how did you do that?

Finished my bunting, really pleased with it

Been awol - have got rid of lots of stash - had a good sort out and gave it away to my Niece.
Have to confess - I have been to two craft shows and stuff came home with me.
Used yarn from my stash to make Christmas presents.

Hi everyone and thank you all so much for your kind words.


I can declare another two items made towards my total.


I made a birthday card (well actually my son made it for his friend) and I also made a Spanish matador hat for my son for his Christmas school play (don't ask - I don't know why they have a theme of countries this year either!).


I'm really pleased with the hat and will try and post a picture later. I made it using black card, some black funky foam (which I've had for ages) and some gold and red braid (which I've had even longer and never known what to do with it!).


Must try and get cracking on some Christmas presents now as the big day will soon be upon us


Keep up the good work fellow stash busters
