cranberry carnage

evening,

just wanted to show you  the carnage that took place in the kitchen yesterday. It was all in aid of making cranberry, apple and chili relish, which does taste great. which was lucky cause if it tasted rubbish, I would have been growling.

handmade gifts

Greetings,

The newest challenge at TIOT is handmade gifts or tags, here is my offering.

 I have made a lot of gifts this year and here are just a few. The lavender bags have vintage images from Lisa's altered art stitched on to them. The book has a stamped image from the wonderful paper artsy mounted on to paper and then popped on the front. The scissor and Dream broaches are cobbled together from stash that has been knocking around my desk top.


Look forward to seeing your giftables and being inspired!

diamond hearted


Greetings,

Recentley I was in areally minor car acident I am fine (my poor car is really not good) and feeling very lucky. I would like to use this card to say a huge thank you to the lady who saw the whole thing and stopped, the customer service staff at Bury St Edmunds Tesco who were awesome to a very shaken up person and a battered car and finally green flag and my insurance company who were very swift and compassionate.

The card is made with figgy Pudding basic grey paper- Dilly beans penny with a heart image, coloured with provo markers, sparkle added with diamond dust and my mind's eye textured papers.

I am entering this card into
