Scarves to color the rainbow

Think of this as a freebie, a random act of kindness or blog candy.......what ever you like. I have a number of scarves to get rid of (oops..give away to good homes).

Here's a couple modelled by the lovely Cali.

you might notice they have a split to thread the other

end of the scarf through

Here's all the colours that are available :

beige, mint, pink mix, blue, wine, lilac and black

The wine, lilac and black are extra lush and thick with flecks or silver through them. Very posh!

All I would ask, is that you send an SAE (self address envelope) probably a medium size envelope with 2 first class stamps would do for the UK.

First come first serve basis: leave a comment and state the colour you'd like.

Teachers gift

A few of my collegues often ask my to make some little bits and pieces for them at short notice as they now I like a challenge. Gillian from my work has twin boys , Aiden & Lewis (cuties - but total opposites) who are starting school this term. She wanted a little something different to give to their playgroup and nursery teachers.

Here's what I came up with: Altered Chocolate bars

Graphics are from PC Crafer with a little bit of my own creative flare (yet right) added in (ie. their thank yous).

So easy to do: get you fav choc bar (dairy milk or galaxy but keep the original wrappers incase anyone has allergies and needs to see the ingredients or sell by date), measure round the bar and length of bar and hey presto - make your wrapper - wrap and give out.

I'll be making some halloween ones shortly so look out.

What girl doesn't love bags?????

Is it just me or do all girls love handbags and shoes? That's my downfall next to craft goodies. So why not combine the two- bags and crafting?

Here's a couple of little gift bag type handbags. Sorry about the photos - had to scan them, digital camera seems to have packed up on me. Inside the bag is a folded pocket - you can even pop money or a little gift card securely inside.

Can you guess where I got the floral paper above?

It's amazing the different types of things you can find to craft with.

Next time your in your local DIY shop - check out the wallpaper section and help yourself to some lovely samples. They come in great for crafting!
