Did I mention I love letters?!

A couple of weeks ago I sat down and had a look at some blogs of people who like letter writing, having postcard swaps and finding pen pals. I then made some parcels which I enjoyed very much! 
I was really pleased this morning to find that the lovely Kate and Sara of 365 Letters Project have received it and blogged about it too.

This week I made...

I've been at it again, making away! Following the Sponge Tree course I thought more about how I could improve my packaging.
 I decided to make these stickers for the front of my magnetic peg packs. I'm happy with the results!
I've also made some gift baskets for my next Craft Fair at Shipley Alternative on Saturday 8th October at the Kirkgate Centre, Shipley. 10am - 3pm It would be great to see you!
 Pretty wicker gift baskets trimmed with Cath Kidston ribbon, tissue paper and decorative/magnetic pegs.
 Set of 7 magnetic pegs attached to coordinating paper
I've jazzed up my fridge! You can display shopping lists, memos, to do lists, recipes, cards and photo's.
 I have had a box full of Christmas cards waiting to be packaged for a while. Pleased to say that they
are now all ready and raring to go!
  
 Wowee, a very big box full! You can see more over at my Facebook page x

It was really nice to spend time with people with similar interests and share ideas and tips x

Not quite a day of rest

...but it would be rude not to go to Boundary Mill when invited!
These were on sale too so I can get making more Christmas stock now! Custom orders welcome!
