Christmas...

At last I have started some of my crafting for Christmas. For the altered container challenge on Crafty Place I have transformed an old box into an advent box for my boys. Now I have to fill it...

Sharon's 50th birthday candy

Sharon is celebrating her 50th birthday and to celebrate is giving away some fantastic candy. You can enter here until 9th October. Good luck!!

coaster calendars

I had a lovely day with Tams and Maddison today. Tams very kindly brought me some beer mats and calendars. I made a couple after she had gone - I am addicted! they look lovely and are so quick and easy to make!

notebooks

Luke is having some friends round on Saturday evening for a movie night for his birthday so I have decorated some notebooks to go in the party bags with a pen, pencil, rubber and sweets.

tri fold card

at last I have made my trifold card for Melissa in the Crafty Place swap. I have had so many problems making this card and mine was fairly simple! I cut it wrong, I found it really hard to find papers i liked (note to self: need more papers!) then I cut them wrong. I had so many attempts! Anyway I hope Melissa likes it...

my first wallet

I made my first wallet the other day to send some stamped images in. I was quite pleased that I managed to make it! Although looking at the photo the ribbon isn't too straight!

mse challenge

on mse marg very kindly organised the current challenge. this was to make Christmas cards to send to the troops for them to send back to friends and family. Marg is collecting them all in amd will send them off shortly. I spent yesterday morning making mine.

Luke's birthday cake

Last Wednesday it was Luke's 11th birthday. In previous years I have made Dr Who, tennis and various other cakes - this year I made a chocolate cake and decorated it with maltesers and marshmallows. I think it went down well!!

my blog

at last I have created a blog!! that is the easy part...now I have to work out what I am doing with it!
