Do you remember Miniature Weaving toy looms made out of wood? I received one as a gift one Christmas and loved it! Then I was given a book on ribbon weaving and tried my hand at that too. There are so many different types of material you can use to weave with, why not paper? […]

Bookmarks with Snailed It
Hello! What do you think of this year’s Sale-a-bration items? Do you have a favourite? My favourite are those Oh So Ombre papers. Using patterned paper as part of the design on any project makes you look like an artist extraordinaire! In this day of technology it’s so easy to send a birthday message on […]
Fancy Fold Card Peaceful Nativity
Happy Christmas, or is it Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas? It’s funny isn’t it, that even though it’s “English”, there are still cultural differences depending which side of the “pond” you’re on! Anyway, where-ever you are, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and hope that you are well, and staying healthy and happy. I […]
Bespoke Box Snow Wonder

I found these miniature bottles of rum which were perfect for cocktail mixes, and of course, ideal as a stocking filler […]
Gift packaging Sweetest Time

These aren’t readily available in our local Supermarkets, and I have to order them especially at enormous expense as they are American […]
Simple cards with Dove of Hope
It’s surprising that even being in lock down for most of the year, we’ve managed to creep into December. In the UK we have had restrictions lifted over a five day period for Christmas. Practicalities prevented our family from taking advantage of it so sadly, we’ll be on our own this Christmas. I hope you’ll […]
Hints & Tips – Tag Buffet
This has to be the coolest semi-inclusive kit I’ve ever come across. It hadn’t been on my radar at all, until my leader demonstrated it at one of her Team Training events. The kit contains enough supplies to make 30 tags and I love the tag layers, the bright traditional Christmas coloured pop out elements […]
