Excited!

I have been asked to donate some of my bags to be given away as freebies for Jewellery Designer Todd Reed's event in New York on 27th July! Apparently the Promotions Company that have approached me saw my bags for sale on Etsy.com.

Where has the time gone ?

Can't believe my baby Peter will be a year old on Saturday and that Ruby will be 4 !!   I have been trying for the last few weeks to make their birthday cards but, every time I sit at the computer or get my crafting stuff out, someone needs my attention or something needs to be done.

So its Monday night and I have only just started their cards.  I have been playing around with a Funky Hand  CD-ROM,  papercraft factory, colour me happy.  I have used their numbers to print a card in the shape of a 4 for Ruby.   They also have some lovely digital stamps and I have so far used their gorgeous elephant printed on brightly coloured paper for Peter.

Ruby has been saying for the last few weeks that she does not want a birthday, I did wonder whether it was because she shares her birthday with her baby brother.  Although last night, she decided that she would like a pretend birthday party and wants to invite 12 friends from school.  So I have been busy arranging a last minute party !

Also at Ruby's request, she would like to play musical statues, musical chairs and of course everyone's favourite game musical bottoms !!!

Another bag ......

This would make a lovely gift bag,  I am planning to make these in different colours to put Christmas gifts in.

Pretty bag

I made this bag today from scratch in about 2 hours. It is lilac outside and the lining is light blue, it is also reversible. This bag would make a lovely present with chocolates or toiletries in or even a soft toy for a child.

So busy....

How many birthdays in June,  I have lost count!  Of course the two most important ones are my children Ruby and Peter who share a birthday.  Ruby will be 4 and Peter will be celebrating his first birthday on 25th June,  but I haven't yet made cards for them !!!  Its on my to do list.

I did manage to make cards for my sister-in-law Karen and my brother, so that's two down.
