Advent Calendars

I made 3 of these before Christmas,

though I only have photos of 2 of them.

I had such great fun making them and decorating

them and I think the recipients had fun opening

a drawer every day. For my crafting friend, 

instead of chocolates, I put different craft items

in each drawer :), so here are the photos.

AND SO IT CONTINUES

This time, its my contribution to the Card DT make for the Cupboard Trilogy

I loved making this double fronted 

card, with scallop edges and patterns inside

and out.  Please take a trip over to the Trilogy

and enter your cards as we would love 

to welcome you there and to see your entries

and I would love your comments on the above, thank you xx

Happy Jubilee

Well its Jubilee Sunday, many many congratulations to the Queen,

 God bless her.

I have been busy doing bits and pieces, 

not much to show for it though.  

The main things I have is 1 ATC 

and the box that my prisma pencils live in.

 I was given the box, very tatty, falling to pieces,

and I covered it with seaside napkins, then 

personalised it with my name, decorations

& false corners. i just need to add

a catch & it will be finished, 

I love it!!
