Award winning.......

Well not quite!, entered the Dundee Food and Flower Festival with a couple of entries for the first time this year, and I came second in the craft collection of designing three articles for a wedding an invitation, a favour and one own choice.   Was very happy with the result!

 

Not really been busy on the card front, too busy working, we also went away for a week in Tarland in Aberdeenshire, the sat nav took us up the cairn o mount, it is really steep!  The car already heavy laden with camping gear also struggled as the petrol light came on showing empty! Thankfully we had enough to get us to Aboyne but boy it is steep, on the way home I refused to let my husband go back that way! The weather was good and we had a good time exploring the area. We went to Braemar, Crathie and Balletar. Was going to go to Balmoral but the price put us off. In Braemar there was this fantastic shop that still made sweets by hand, oh god the smell was wonderful, as it was the really old fashioned sweeties! We then went down to North Berwick for a few days, we could not stay any longer as we had a twenty first birthday for a family member that day, and she had lost her uncle only two weeks before and we had missed his funeral due to our holiday in Aberdeenshire

We are going to be busy next week, we are stage crew in a production of Hi De Hi, by a local group who raise money for charities, if you happen to be Dundee and fancy a ticket, the show is at the Gardyne Theatre, showing Wednesday – Saturday, and if happens to be your birthday you may get a mention as well as a muffin from me!

Somebody mentioned on her blog about making milk cartons, so I found a pattern on the internet and reduced it down to make mini favour boxes, hope you like them.

 We were also at a wedding recently, and I made card from the Crafters Companion CD of Humphrey's corner.  I had originally done the box frame but did not like it, so just cut away the image and mounted it onto an easel card instead. Found the sentiment on line and used that rather than just a standard greeting.
