Boxes

Good Morning All

Friday again and fat club day, I dont think I have done too well this week, but 'heyho' gotta carry on.  I made a Cherry Bakewell from a recipe given to us by one of our leaders and it was made from chick peas, believe it or not, and it was flippin' gorgeous.  If you would like the recipe let me know and I will email it to you.  If you have ever followed the club that uses syns this whole cake is only 6 syns.
Just one week to go until my hols too, so excited.!!!!1

Another project of making boxes.








These measure about 4.5" x 6.5" and will hold about 6 A6 cards.

Now this one came about because I saw a belt at the charity shop, where I work on Tuesday mornings,and I thought it would look great on a card or box as the case may be. 





The tassle was off a cushion cover and the wooden circle and the rope was from the belt.



Then I just decorated with whatever embellishments I wanted.  Quilled flowers (inked on the edges), crochet flowers, corner die cuts, pearls, lace, brads.







I just had to show you all this piccy of Hollie when we Skyped last week.
Her Mum took this pic of her giving Nanna a kiss,  (she kisses the computer screen).  Aint this sweet?  Love her to bits.

    Hi Wendy, I love this box its gorgeous. Sorry you got a silly email from me, I used outlook to send an email to C&C but it sent a couple of people in my contacts old emails and nothing to C&C, I have sorted it out now. I am hoping to get back into the swing of things now I lost my MOJO and Interest in crafting quite badly the past few weeks.
