stationery box

I was looking at the Creative Craft World blog where the latest challenge is holiday. there are some fab makes by the DT and I loved the stationery box that Sarah had made. I had thought about making my MIL a box of cards for her birthday and this was perfect to put them in. I am quite impressed with how it has turned out especially as I am not very crafty and this is the first time I have made anything like it. It is not as perfect as Sarah's and there are things I would do better/differently next time (would probably use double sided paper) but I am pleased with it. I just have to make the cards now!! I will put some postage stamps in the little pocket and not sure what to put in the small boxes - have a week to think about it.

every year my two boys decorate a mug for their teachers. this year as Luke is leaving the school he also made one for the head mistress and 2 secretaries. they decorated the mug and I wrapped them in a cello bag with a covered notebook, pen and mints. i hope they like them!

goodbye!

a friend of mine is moving back to Germany after the summer holidays. we met when ds1 was at nursery with her daughter. they then went to separate infant schools and met up again at junior school. although I don't see much of her I will miss her as we see each other every day at school. I used one 9f the fab digi images I won from stampin with the dragon.
