Santa sack swap

Hi everyone

Yesterday I recieved my Santa sack and first 2 gifts from

Lauren in Cheryll's Santa sack swap

I was so happy when I opened my parcel, to see the sack that

I was eyeing on the santa sack blog...yay me :oD

Lauren saw that I am a big fan of Tone Finnanger

and this is the gorgeous santa sack that she made just for me.

Thankyou so much Lauren, I absolutely Love it!!!!

and here are the gorgeous card and gifts that were inside

I have been very good and have packed them away

without squeezing them at all ;o)

Out of sight out of mind hehe, you'll (I'll) have to wait

til Christmas to see whats inside!

Here is what I sent to Lauren

the stitchery patterns are from Natalie Bird's

"Tis the Season".

Hope you like them Lauren :oD

Thanks for stopping by

Happy Crafting!

Santa sack swap 2012

Hi swappers

you do not want to miss this!

Cheryll is again hosting her annual Santa Sack/Stocking Swap

It is a 6 month commitment where you make and send your

assigned partner a sack or stocking and fill it with 2 gifts every

month from June til December...

Sound awesome? Then quickly head on over HERE

Cheryll is taking a limited number of people this year, and places are

filling fast...Good Luck!

I made a bangle :oD

A friend convinced me to join her at a jewellery making workshop.

I have never attempted to make any jewellery before, so I thought

it would be lots of fun to try something new.

We had the choice of a few different kits and the lady showed some

different techniques and types of jewellery kits that she also makes.

I think this could get quite addictive!

Today's class was very simply, we made a stretchy bracelet using

metal beads and "Stretch Magic"which is just a super stretchy cord

and a little dab of jewellery glue to keep the knot secure.

PS... Happy Mother's Day Everyone!

Just some quick cards

My daughter's school were putting together some mother's day hampers to raffle off, they asked for donations to add to them. Everyone seemed to be adding cosmetics and cremes, so I thought I'd make a pack of 10 quick and simple cards that someone could use, mainly birthday cards, as I figured everyone needs to buy birthday cards, especially mums, with all the parties their children get invited to...

Thanks for stopping by

Anzac Day

Thankyou to all the Men, Women and Horses who have

served our country!

They shall not grow old

as we that are left grow old

Age shall not weary them

nor years condemn them

At the going down of the sun

and in the morning

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM!

There is a new Colour swap over at Lydias Treasures

RULES FOR THIS SWAP:

You have to send you partner SIX gifts (as colour has six letters) of their favourite colour. At least ONE of the gifts have to be handmade. You can give six handmade gifts if you would like to.

It is only optional to send gifts in the letters of COLOUR. It is NOT a must for this swap.

Happy Easter!

I made this bunny and bag based on Tilda designs.

They were going to be included in my OASS Autumn, but when I read

the rules properly, I realised that we couldn't use Easter related

items to fill the requirements of the swap.

Not to worry, I did come up with some other alternatives

and my little girl will happily accept them as part of her easter

goodies, so everything turned out just fine!

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you all have a fantastic and safe Easter!

Happy Crafting
