January Swaps Received

I played host this month to both the Bookmark swap and the tag swap over on CB (see my entries below) and I am proud to show off the swaps that I got.

The bookmark theme was "monochrome" and this very pretty bookmark was from Littleme.

The tag swap theme was "butterflies" and the two gorgeous tags I received were from Tiggertastic (left) and clara cluck (right)

Thanks ladies - they are fab.

First Bind it all make

I got my wonderful little machine for christmas and have been dying to play. I finally got round to making something last week. I started plain and simple but can't wait to make many more projects in the months to come including a bound scrapbook or two.

Thank you Maggie

MY CRAFT SPACE!!!!

Thanks to my wonderful OH I now have my very own craft space. We only have two bedrooms so space is at a premium for us but despite this my OH still managed to make me my own little area to craft in so I no longer have to manage on the dining table or use his desk. His time, patience and DIY skills and my bargain £3.99 charity find chair (not shown)makes for a fab little craft station that I adore. Yipeeeeeee!!!

Since this photo was taken I have managed to squeeze all my crafty bits on around my work station area, bought the above mentioned chair and filled the notice board shown with gorgeous makes received from the lovely ladies off CB.

Bookmark and Tag Swaps

These are my entries for the two swaps I am hosting this month. Tags are "Butterfly" themed and the bookmark theme chosen was "monochrome". I loved using my new fiskars cutter for the butterfly shaped tag, I had got it free when I subscirbed to CB and couldn't wait to try it out. Not too sure about my bookmark though. Might do another before I hae to send the swaps.

RAKS

The ladies over on CB are such wonderful people and I have been amazed by the generosity I have been shown whilst hosting swaps this month.

Thank you so very much:

Janice, Jackie, Rachel, Susie, Carolyn, Laverne, Karen, Heather, Niki, Sarah, Natalie and Louise
