The Makeover has begun!

Hello. I love to have a nosey at other crafters spaces and makeovers so thought I would share mine. This morning I took the first step. I emptied this unit which we have had for many years (it was orginally in my hubby's flat). Oh dear, is that a line of dust I see? Anyway, it was quite easy to empty as it mostly held my stamps and papers which were all in baskets.The unit will be replaced by a couple of these...

 They are from Ikea (where else) and are called Kallax. I have also chosen one of these...

This will fit under the new desk. Well, I say desk, I have actually chosen to have a large table top instead of a desk. The opposite wall will have a row of these.....

The walls are going to get a coat of Mint Macaroon (doesn't that sound yummy) on Sunday and the furniture is due to be delivered later in the week.

 So that's the plan. Fingers crossed it all works out, I'll post an update soon!

Trimcraft demo cards

Hello. I thought I would pop on and share a couple of the cards I made at my demo day last week in Dundee. Everything you need to make these cards is available at The Range shops throughout the UK. This Sunday I will be at The Range in Edinburgh from 11am to 4pm. It would be lovely if you could stop by and say hello if you are in the Edinburgh area.

OK, I'm really going to go for it this time! A couple of months ago the crafty room got a wee bit of a tidy up and a mini re-organisation. Well, I have measured up and tonight I am off to Ikea to find some new furniture  - I want a big table instead of the small desk I have and some new storage that all matches. The room is also going to get a lick of paint. Tonight is just a look though, I want to take my time and get it right. Any tips?

Papercraft Essentials - magazine article

Hello. Just popping on to let you know I have some super cute cards in this month's Papercraft Essentials. I got to have a play with the gorgeous 'Me to You' range. Perfect if you have a heap of Christmas cards to make and not much time. Everything is co-ordinated and the pre-cut decoupage is super quick! There's also loads of other inspration in the magazine - stash busters, using colour burst powder, time saving tips and tons more. Oh, and a gorgeous free Christmas stamp set.

And, oh my (blushing), I spotted this on the readers letters page. How lovely of Ruth to name check me. I'm so chuffed she likes my cards (and is a frequent visitor to my blog). Ruth is a fairly new blogger so why don't you pop over to 'Crafting While The Baby Naps' and have a nosey at her fabby cards.

Righty ho, that's all for today but I'll be back tomorrow with a couple of cards I made at last weeks Trimcraft demo.
