Just a little bit of crafting!


Life is quite slow going at the moment, which for me is most frustrating !
However, each day gets better and this week I have managed to work on some altered clipboards for the V&H Fair!!



My production line is slower than usual but they have turned out ok.
Oh how I wish I'd bought more of that wonderful Daisy Ds 'vintage look' scrapbook paper, last year...as now it seems to be so hard to find!



I've also used a few items from the range ' Swell Noel ' by K&Company.


And did you spot the books?
Incredibly, I won this book on ebay for 25p!
It's a companion to the book which I won last year.
They are not new books but I love searching for slightly older craft books and these have oodles of ideas...ideas which are simple and you can build on that simplicity and improvise.

I really don't like doing the 'C' stuff quite so early but needs must!
And so now I need to hunt for the rest of my Christmas books.
***
As for the weekend...
I'm going to be reunited with my favourite place, which begins with 'E' and ends with 'R' and has an 'X' in it!
I hope I can remember my way around!
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend too!

  2. Hi Sal,
    Good to switch on and see a post from you. Hope you're taking it easy... Remarkably, I've been working on xmas stockings this week. Although xmas still seems miles away, the Fair doesn't! I went to TK Maxx today and they had a lot of lovely scrapbooking stuff. Not sure if you have one near you, in the place with the E, R and X maybe?!
    Love Hen xxx

  3. Enjoy Exeter - and if you get foot weary you can always go and have a quiet sit in the minster.

  5. I hear you Sal, I've done nothing this week as Twiglet and I still have the lurgy. Hope you're soon feeling a bit more chipper. I love your clipboards, just lovely. Have a great weekend and take good care of yourself.

    I am pleased to hear that you are feeling a bit better; I had been wondering where you had dissappeared to so it is lovely to hear from you again! x

  15. Only ten weeks til Christmas, it must be time to start thinking about it. Love the things you've produced already. I'll start with a To-Do list. It's a start at least.
