Where have I been, you ask....

Well i'm back ..I know it has been a while .
We took our family holiday to the coast early this year mainly to save money on accomodation,we all had a great time 2 weeks away from reality no phone or internet.
that was 3 weeks ago the last 3 weeks have been busy with school concerts, swimming lessons and christmas shopping which is all done and wrapped. Today being the last day of school means that tomorrow we will have no routine, no yelling get up, get dressed,have breakfast,get your bag packed and HURRY UP!!! So...what have been up to crafty wise well not much scrapping happening here but lots of sewing love it at the moment this is what i have come up with since we got back from our trip.
Fairie Noelle by Country keepsakes


Ellie the elephant by Melly and Me

Will be altering the fairie a little and turning it into a princess/ballerina fairy for my niece for christmas....will sahre when done.

Well happy Crafting and Merry Cristmas to all if I don't return before hand.

More Sharing

Well I thought I better start preparing for Christmas so on Tuesday I started work on my daughters kindy teachers present and this is what happened....got the idea from the Kaiser craft blog the background is similar but I changed all the flowers and butterflies I hand made all the flowers and used butterfly stickers from Riot crafts which I stuck to acetate and cut out and bent to give dimension, added some organza curtains and voila


as you can see I've only just finished it and couldn't wait to photograph it(mod podge is still wet)
