My first Handbag charm

I am hosting this months swap which is for Handbag charms with an "Autumn Inspiration". I was thrilled when Autumn won because this is my favourite time of the year and I adore autumn colours both to wear as well as to look at.

Here is my contribution.

Flowers

The card from Wiggley reminded me how much I adore poppies and roses, they are by far my favoutite flowers. Poppies because they are so pretty and because they are a "June" flower and I was born in June. I love roses (especially red ones) because I love their elegance, I also had these decorating my bag at my Christmas Eve wedding.

I also find yellow roses and daisies particularly pretty as these are my grandad and nan's favourite flowers. I like to have yellow roses around me on his birthday in rememberence. And if I want to cheer up my Nan I know a simple boquet of daisies are the way to go.

FAB RAKs

I received two more fantastic RAKs this week.

The first the ATC, card, ribbon etc is from Tiggertastic - thanks hun, can't wait to have a play with the RAK especially the yummy looking cupcake paper.

The second came from Wiggley - thank you very much, I had admired the card on CB and was gobsmacked to receive it in the post with the gorgeous earrings aswell, you are too kind.

Thank you both very much.

I've lost my first 3lbs!!!!!

I am over the moon today becuase I have lost my first three pounds. This is despite having a bad head cold and only going swimming once and then last night letting my OH buy KFC and a big bag of buttons each! Oh dear.

Going to try and go swimming three times this week as I'm supposed to and not eating the KFC and buttons and hopefully this time next week will have more good news (fingers crossed). So far so good.

Crafting Time

I don't usually find I have the time and the inspiration at the same time but the other day I did so I made the most of it and had a play.

The card is for a friends birthday next week - I have been wanting to use this feather dress for a while now as I love it.

The ATC's were a bit of fun. I have quite a bit of off cut paper/small pieces received in Raks that I wanted to use and loads off peel offs that I had never used for various reasons. I don't use peel offs loads and decided I wanted to see what effects I could get from them to make them look interesting and above are the results. I adore the seahorse one, simple and yet effective. The decoupage Eeyore was going to go on a card but I have entered an ATC swap over on CB and thought he would be ideal. Can't wait to have time to play some more, especially more ATCs.
