Mixed up Saturday including Michele's Mag Review

Good Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all relaxed and enjoying the weekend, not much happening outside as the weather is miserable but hopefully that means you are all beavering away in your craft rooms!  

Above is the covered notebook that I made for Danielle as she decided that we should do a swap too, mostly because we don't get to swap with each other in our Group Swaps.

I used just about the last of my Peaches & Pinks Paper to create Danielle's Notebook, I know she loves the paper as she is the one that bought it and we use it to make things for other people so never get to appreciate its beauty, so I thought I would use it on something that she could look at and enjoy.

The frame is one I got in HobbyCraft on Tuesday with Sue, it's their own range of dies and at the moment they are all 50% off, so that pretty frame was only £6.  I used it to frame Danielle's name that I foiled with my new Foil Quill on my Scan & cut, (thats 2 projects now lol)! I decorated the edge with some lace and pearls.  

Luckily Danielle loved it xxx

Karen

I messaged Karen to ask for a photo of Laurence the Tiger to share with all of you as I thought that you would be as excited to see him after Karen said he was finished as I was, so Karen sent this adorable photo of him, just look at that face, so cute, Karen you are so amazingly talented, its not just about crocheting the Tiger it's the expression that you achieve on their faces that make so adorable.

Thank you so much for sharing Laurence with us my lovely, I do hope that your UTI clears up soon, I have just finished antibiotics for the same thing. I think that I wasn't taking my Cranberry tablets as religiously as I had been so it's partly my own fault I guess. I did find that the Cystitis Relief powders (shops own brand) helped me hugely with the discomfort, well worth the money to get that relief, I was sceptical but after about 20 mins they started working!

Michele loved the Dreamcatcher images from the Making Cards magazine free dowload so much that she got carried away and made another 8 cards with them!  They are all fantastic cards Michele, I love the colours too, you have given your card box a huge boost, they will be great for your Sale Table too. 

Michele purchased those amazing sentiment fancy cut dies from China, all four of them for around £12 !! Bargain!! 

Thanks for sharing your bargains. xxx

We arrived at Danielle's last night, I think tgat i must of bought about 50% of my craft room with me, although I think that when she tries the Distress Oxides she won't want to play with anything else! 

We might try and do a Facebook Live thing tonight, while we are crafting, I will message you if we do, just for fun more than anything.

I hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Love and hugs to all of you,

Sandrà
