WINNER!

As promised today I've picked a winner (well, youngest son had the honour).  

The blank plaque goes to...... SPYDER (aka Lyn) 

Drop me an email with your details and I will post it off to you straight away.

Happy crafting, have fun and I would love to see how you alter the plaque.

Making Space!

Today I've been determined to create a little bit more space in my work area.

I realised I still had so much bead stuff as well as outdated papers, embellishments and more.  

It was all all taking up valuable space (meaning it was taking the space of possible new stuff I may 'NEED' to buy!)

I've had a good sort through, given some stuff to a local school craft club, a nice man collected a side table through Freecycle and I've put some bigger items on eBay.  

Just in case anyone is interested I've just listed a Making Memories Slice Desktop Storage and 

a Clip It Up (both tiers). 

I was a little reluctant to part with this because it is brilliant but it does take up a section of my work room that is needed for other things.  

I always feel a good tidy up sets me on a positive creative path (aka shopping!!)

What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday and a CHANCE TO WIN!

Great excitement on the craft desk - I have upgraded my tiny DVD player to a super duper proper TV! 

In honour of its arrival I tidied the desk...

 began sorting my buttons into nice jars...

then turned around and realised why my desk looked so clear, it's all dumped here!  

I'm sure craft stuff breeds!  

In other news - don't forget there is a chance to WIN a blank plaque 

(this follows my Project Love videos)

all you need to do is leave a comment or send me an email with "Yes, I NEED a plaque!"

Picking a winner on Friday.

Have a great week everyone and remember to visit Julia - the Queen of WOYWW! 

Monday Morning Photos...

What a beautiful day, the sky is blue..

and it is the beginning of the summer holidays.

I've been working on my little garden..

growing tomatoes...

training a clematis around an old cane chair...

flowers flowers everywhere!

And providing a cosy place for a stray cat...!

I'm thinking I should do this every Monday morning, just step out and take some photos ... not so sure they will always be this colourful but a good way to record the changing of the seasons.

Thanks for stopping by.

Library Drawer

Saturdays are the best day of the week and even better when you spend them at Pickleberry Papercrafts!

Yesterday I went to a workshop tutored by Jane Dean - creating inserts for 7 Gypsies Library Drawer 

I created three as my time was slightly hijacked by a little field trip to Jane's lovely home to see her dogs, chickens and ferrets - all so lovely but the ferrets have to be my favourite, they are ADORABLE!

Here are a few of photos but I will be back when I've created some more.

Lots of ideas as to what I'm going to use this for - recipes, reminders, birthday card holder, jobs to do lists - in fact I might use it for all the above! 

Don't forget I have a plaque to give away - 

just leave a comment or send me an email with "Yes, I NEED a plaque" 

I'm going to pick a winner on Friday.

Have a great Sunday!

Hi everyone,

It's my final video today - the finishing touches are being applied to the 'Love' plaque including butterflies!

'Yes I NEED a plaque!'
I will pick out a name next Friday, 29 July.
Thanks for joining me and come back soon.
