Hobbies and Crafts

I keep all of them in a big box and in their original covers, with spellbinders it will be easier to have them on a magnetic sheet in a seperate folder and I will keep them in a ring file so every make is seperate, at least that is the intention....lol...

Glad you put it on here Jill. I was trying to look at it on Facebook, three times zi got to your post with the wreath and three times either Facebook or my IPad decided to throw me out. Weird. I am definitely not Facebook literate!

The wreath is lovely, very attractive. Did it take you long to make? :-)

Been making a rag wreath, hope it shows on my profile picture

They work well Jean how do you store your dies. I have some in a Marianne folder and some on magnetic paper in a CD holder (zip up type) but wonder if there is a better way.

There is also a voucher n the D+++++xX...........so it can be cut out save printing off, sadly my nearest H/C is too far away , so hope you all have a good spend,

I have had a naff morning I bought some A4 magnetic sheets to put my dies on , cant find them anywhere, they only came yesterday, so still in the white envelope, but my oh is great at putting stuff in the bin and they have just been emptied :-0 so what are the odds on them being in the refuse van :-|ah well back to reorder them......
love Jean x

Happy spending! :-D :-D :-D

How lovely Jill to be making new friends. Even if it means making more cards.
Your craft day sounds fun too.

Good evening to you all, not been about much as been a busy few weeks with craft fairs and classes.
I did attend a lovely craft afternoon on Saturday and made a floral decoration, a ribbon decoration, brooch in a box and a gift cracker, was good fun doing things outside of my comfort zone.
I am halfway through my Christmas cards and need to make more than usual as made some lovely friends on the Island.

xx Jill

Jewellery making seems to be on the up and maybe card making is not so popular, but thank goodness there are still plenty of card making mags and supplies around. You get a good price for your cards Ginnie. I have never sold any of mine, not actually tried to.

Hello all,
Must say that I have been quite lax recently in making cards and scrapbooking but started doing my christmas cards this week and have done about 25 so far. I usually make about 45/50 and normally start in August/Sept. but this year I have kept putting it off.
I have 2 friends that buy cards off me and I have been doing theirs (birthday cards) as the few extra £s means I can restock with new stuff. I make A5 size cards for them and the cards always have names and birthdate on as well as a theme of their choice eg sport music etc. I charge £3 for these and £5 for a bookcard in a box. I don't think we will ever make our fortunes at cardmaking but it does give us pleasure doing them.

I also went to the NEC for the craft show and must say that the amount of card craft stalls was down from previous years but many more jewelery stalls and some knitting/needlework stalls. We still had a great day and spent alot (as usual) and came home with sore feet lol.
