Well what are Sunday's for but chilling & crafting x lol
I bought myself a jewellery making magazine this week I don't get one regularly but this one cort my eye & had a lovely idea for a hart shaped vintage pair of earrings containing a photo.
Well those of you who know me will now I could never copy something as is as my brain just starts ticking & all sort of variation come out.
I had intended this to be a pendant on to a necklace but not the way it came out.
Trust me! what am I like, things just evolve.

I'm quite happy with it on the bracelet though I like things dangling round my wrist & with it being a photo of Elizabeth it's a real personal piece.
I added harts & swarovski crystals just to ad all my love & a touch of sparkle.


While I was sat playing I also found a memory wire ring & started playing and this little ring is what came of it.



I love swarovski crystal it just shines.

here's hoping you've all had a happy Sunday.

What a Great few day's I've Had.
I made a very difficult but right decision this week & I'll tell you all more about that soon.
I've been trying to get ready for my Birthday Charity sale that I am running to raise money for Alffie. I have been given some very kind money donations this week as well as cards made from some very special people thanks Anne and Tracy your both Amazing xx
So as well as getting ready for that I've been getting invites ect... ready for Elizabeth's Birthday witch is just 7 day's after mine. I wouldn't wont life to be boring !! lol
She is having 3 friends for a sleep over followed by her party the next day at home with another 5 friends coming along for that. I'm planning to make some jewellery with them & a jewellery box for them to take there new treasures home in.
I found a gorges stamp at Running with Scissors my fav craft shop and painted her she is a wiff of joy stamp.


I do love this image but the thought of having to paint 8 of them the same filed me with dread. So I cheated sorry! I placed the image in my scanner & printed of 8 copy's slightly bigger than the original with I shall use to make Elizabeth's card.



I decided to say after the Scrap booking class that I attend and make a start on getting them done.


After same great brainstorming. (defiantly a good reason to stay again) we (being Anne & I came up with the idea to make matching RSVP card that I am going to put a photo of the child that returned the card on the day for Elizabeth to keep in a keepsake box. Well it's the first of the double figures.


Thought I would also share with you the scrap booking pages I did last week at Running with scissors as I used pictures from Elizabeth's 9th birthday on them. I printed them in sepia to give a bit more of an aged look.








I hope your all having a fabulous week and I'll keep you all updated with decisions made as soon as pos and any new items I make.
Take care for now

Happy New Year I know it's a bit late & I'm a bad blogger but I promise to try harder.
We had a great Christmas, and amazing new year in Cyprus !


Well am sure many of you like myself are a bit short on cash at the moment.
doesn't stop us wanting to buy lovely gifts for our loved ones though!!
I bought these 2 bunches of flowers from Tesco at just £2 each.

I then re raped them in cellophane added a bow and I even remembered to re tape the flower food to the back of the bunch. lol


I think you have to admit they don't look a £4 bunch now. I think packaging makes such a huge difference.

And my aunt loved them witch is the main thing.

Love to you all
