General goss!

Hello! How are you all? Today I did lots of house jobs and then had a little rest. My friend is a fish fan and has moved away to Guernsey so I have made her a little fishy parcel to brighten her day because I miss her so! I like making matching presents and cards.

 I've had some of my crafts for sale in Handmade in Bradford over the past few months and today more stock was dropped off in time for those Christmas (yes, it's on its way!) shoppers. There's some photo frame Peg It! kits and some magnetic pegs too.

 I also had another scan and the baby was blowing kisses at us! It was magical. Every day I feel and see lots of movements in my tummy and I feel very blessed.

 Always on the hunt for bargains, I went to a nearly new / second hand baby sale and picked up all these for cheaps!

 Also - I took advantage of the Moo card offer and they arrived today.

Road Trip

This week we took a road trip up to Newcastle. On the way up we stopped off at The Angel of the North which was really incredible!

 

The main purpose of the trip however was to see Disney on Ice!

My favourite bits were anything related to The Lion King and The Little Mermaid!

Incoming from my Lovely Letters pal + more!

There were three fun items in my post box today! My first letter from Petrova which was really great to get and I am looking forward to getting to know you more! Your mail from me will arrive on Monday! Also here's the contents of my Lovely Letters (task one) mail - many thanks Tully!

The contents of my post box (minus the bills!)

Tully's mail arrived really quickly from Australia! I absolutely love everything inside. I really enjoyed reading the letter. I treasure all the words that people share about themselves and I'm looking forward to continuing with the project with you.   

I was just thinking the other day that I could do with making some funky envelopes so thank you for the map and the storybook envelopes. It's inspired me to make some - I have a template I just need to get on with it!

The washi tape bunting is really really fab! I'm going to hang this over a picture on the wall in the dining room. I'll have to have a go at this project myself with my washi tapes and send you one with my designs hehee! Swapsies!

 In other news - I may have moaned on before about the lack of Washi tapes in the UK! I get a bit giddy when I've ordered some from another country (Japan and USA) via Etsy...

The Etsy packages are always so creative and thoughtful which certianly makes it worth the wait (and also encourages you to shop there more often)!

I'm excited to make some neon stationery! I have lots of ideas in the pipeline. Maybe I shall make some time this weekend amongst the house 'stuff'...all work and no play and all that!

 

Biggest outgoing mail ever is on its way tomorrow!

I think I have excelled myself this time! Thank you for the recent requests to be pen pals and thank you to those who accepted my requests! I am pleased to say that this great big stash will be posted tomo and I'm super excited for them to reach you all! Please let me know when you get them ladies and gentlemen. Here's a sneak preview...

There's 15 parcels here in total! All with a treat or two inside..why? Because I love sending treats!

I decorated lots of envelopes with wallpaper and pretty card

Something for Shannah - I bet you can guess chick!



I was pleased to find that Sharpie have gone pastel! They were on offer too.
