Reindeer Food

Evening all/ or should I say morning it is 3am here - Just realised the time!!

Some of the girls at work today were talking about Santa's letters and his magic key you can get and it got me thinking about the reindeer food I had seen people making last year.

So tonight I made some:

I have had these snowflake bags for about 2 maybe 3 years in my cake decorating box! I think I got them from DollarTree.

I found this cute Free Printable Reindeer Food Label by Anders-Ruff

The hanging tag I cut from original in paint - hope this isn't copyright infringement - I'm not selling them tho so hopefully I wont get wrong.

The Reindeer food is just Porridge Oats and blue glitter.

I think I should of put more glitter in but I didn't have any silver and ran out of blue.

Aperture Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone

Since moving to my new craft room I have found alot of old stuff I forgot I had, so I have been going through trying to use them up.

I found some tags which I I have had for well over 4 years and I made a Youtube video here as I didnt have a clue how to use them in 2010!

I also had some Aperture cards which I bought in Michaels for $1 which I didnt know how to use.

5 years on and I have finally figured it out!

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated

Repurposing old store bought cards into new handmade cards

Good Evening everyone ... 30 days till Christmas!! eek I haven't started my shopping yet and still have so many cards left to make!!

So I am a little bit of a horder and since moving all my stuff into my new craft room have I found this out!!  I don't throw away cards I receive for birthdays and Christmas. I have made some new cards for Christmas using some old store bought ones I have received over the years.

I love how they turned out totally different from the original cards they were printed on.

 The images on all these cards came from store bought ones and I had kept them because I loved them and wanted to re-use them some how. I love how they turned out.

Thanks so much to taking the time to view and comment its much appreciated



P.s I will make a video of my craft room once I have finished setting it up I have loads of my stuff bagged up and have no idea where anything is!!

My First attempt at making clothes

Since pinching my mams sewing machine about 3 weeks ago I had not used it but had wanted to attempt to make my nieces or the girls some little dresses.

I was sorting out some of my clothes which didn't fit me or  I didn't want anymore but could not part with them as I loved the fabric so I have a pile of clothes to cut up and reuse.

So this is what I made with the back of a top and the bottom of a vest top.

Its a dress for a 1 ish year old lol!

As this is my first attempt at any sort of clothes making I was pretty chuffed and Adam said it was good - praise indeed if he likes it. Wants to get me making clothes for him lol I said come on this is my first attempt and I don't think I'd ever get that good to make him clothes.

I am going to attempt a bigger one with the left over fabric. Its not costing me anything as I am recycling old clothes so practice makes perfect.

Any hints or tips anyone?? I need help lol
