birthday card made for DGS

Things will slow down again over the next week or so - DS's wedding on Friday, holiday, DGS's birthday. I might not produce anything, but I will be keeping my beady eyes on you all.

Love the card greentiger - very clever


I have made 4 plant pot markers today from wooden plant sticks I had forgotten I had bought. Not used much stash (so dent made) but I have bagged them up to make them look prettier and am going to use them to help fill my shelf at the local shop


Almost weakened today as I had an email from Polkadoodles with a discount coupon! I started putting CD's into my basket but managed to stop myself before I checked out. I'm putting it down to hubby being away and me feeling low as this morning I had a bit of a moment on the Sizzix website too. Again I added things to my basket but luckily never actually checked out


Happy crafting everyone and stay strong

craftingmad, I know what you mean. I got the Polkadoodles email too (and another later on from them). I didn't read the emails and I have unsubscribed. I am unsubscribing from all the crafty sites. :A I know what I like and I do know which websites I like and I'll find anything if I really, really need to!

Oh no pixiedust - I hope you did not get tempted. I'm supposed to be helping you use up your stash not encouraging you to buy more


I managed to make 15 more items today - Friendship Seed packets. I've made them before and they sell really well so I've made some for the local shop I'm going to rent a shelf in and also top up my stock ready for my next craft fair. Haven't really made any dent in my stash other than using 3 sheets of card, 15 cello bags, some double sided tape and some of the wild flower seeds I had but its moving the stash in the right direction


Tomorrow is the day I am planning on starting the big craft room tidy/organise so I may be quiet for a few days. If I haven't posted after a week can someone please send a search party as its likely I've been buried alive under a falling pile of cardstock or crafty treasures


Happy stash busting everyone

I'm still alive too today I used the Bubblepops method to make a scaled down pocketless project bag as a gift bag for holding six bottles of beer

I hope Bubblepops is now delivered of a bonny baby.....waving in case she is lurking :j
