CCW Christmas Countdown Day 21

At last I can share my pièce de résistance ! I’ve been dying to show you my Tando Advent kit and here it is! Well a close up, any way. The full photo and instructions for making it are on the page tab at the top of my blog. I can tell you I LOVED doing this. I’m waiting for Lou to get more in stock (they sell as soon as they hit the shelves) and then I’ll make another one as a birthday countdown for Sophia. This kit is not just for Christmas! LOL


I hope you like it as much as I do.

PS I must say thank you to Bev of Bee Crafty who was so good at answering my daft questions about how she put her wreath together.

pal·in·drome  ˈpalinˌdrōm/  noun:

A word, phrase, or sequence that reads the same backward as forward, e.g., madam or nurses run or a man, a plan, Panama!.

______________________________________

Good morning and welcome to a palindromic Wednesday (21.11.12!) I’m fond of palindromes – my niece Anna could say, ‘I’m a palindrome’ when she was very tiny. :o)

Anyway, I’m wittering – you’re here to see my desk which is ‘beginning to look a lot like Christmas’.

On the left are the cards I did with my mum and sister yesterday (see previous post)  and on the right are some gift boxes I’ve been making for our ‘table presents’ on Christmas Day. Oh and my Washi tape collection (centre) has grown to needing a second jailer’s ring!

Right I’m off to hop round some more workdesks on What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday. Thanks for visiting mine.

Card School

After all these years of me being afflicted with this paper addiction my sister has finally caught the bug! We spent the day around her dining table making Christmas cards. Mum was roped in too, though she’d much rather be attached to her knitting needles! Anyway, here are their efforts … some really nice cards, I think.

A card for Make it Monday #116 …

Today I thought I'd share with you the card I made for my nephew for his birthday last week. He qualified as a teacher this summer hence the theme for his card. I made the blackboard from coffee stirrers  (I never leave a coffee shop without a few of them tut tut) and a rectangle of black card made to look ‘chalky’ with SU Whisper White ink.

I’d like to enter this card for Make it Monday which I just discovered via Sarah’s blog Sarah’s Little Snippets.

I love this card by MiM DT member Lisa.
