Saying goodbye!

Hello friends

Today's crafty offering is a decorated chocolate bar.

I will be waving goodbye to my niece this weekend as she heads off to University so 

I decided to put together a little token gift. 

I made this from scraps out of my craft bag following returning home from Ally Pally.

So easy - the hardest part is trying to resist eating the chocolate!

Use the original chocolate wrapper as a template, panels of cardstock and patterned paper.

I printed my message using my computer and then decorated.

The flower is Spiral Blossoms One,  I was demonstrating these and the leaves are from 

the Jewel Flowers and Flourishes die set.

Yesterday afternoon the girls in our family went to Eastwell Manor for a champagne afternoon tea -
a real treat for us all.
Here is my niece sitting by the fire - I forgot my good camera so a rather grainy photo taken with my phone.

 The rain was hammering down so it seemed perfect to sit by a fire.
When we came to leave the sky suddenly cleared and the sun broke through,
a nice omen I thought.

A definitely non-Chrismassy post today!
Back tomorrow, I've got lots to do today -
I'm shooting videos (more news on that to follow) and of course, preparing for Friday Die-Day.
Take care.
