Starting with what I got done, though this wasn't done last week, I only got it photographed last week, it was at it's other owners' house! This hanging was a joint effort between my good friend Charmaine and I for a shop which has recently closed. We had so much fun the evening that we played with the Collections little houses that we decided to make them into a little village.
I made this box to house a Mystery Muse pressie for my partner for July (or was it August?). It is on it's way to her right now, I hope she likes it, I know her taste is a little different to mine. The pic below this one is what is in the box. I dug out a plain papier mache box to send it in but couldn't just leave it at that, I had to decorate it.
This project was inspired by the Captured Fairies that Lisa Volrath makes which are just gorgeous. I would love to do one of her kits but they go so fast on her Etsy site and I don't think she sends to Australia anymore, too many mail issues, which I can understand, had my fair share too!
This is my first ATC from the SGATC round robin, the theme was working on canvas. I love using canvas myself but am always on the lookout for new ways to use it. This is from the Paper Pixie, Nikki Blowers.
Well, that is it for another day. Soccer practice tonight and maybe some time in the 'craft room' since DH is away. Unbeliveably I have only one project to work on so I may even get time for a play, though the last time I said that I ended up in Armadale ER with Noah! He was jumping into a pile of clothes that were sitting in front of an old TV and, you guessed it, he had a bit too much bounce and went straight into the TV. Split his nose right down the middle, blood everywhere. It looks great now but a week and a half ago he had black bruises and a puffy nose, He wouldn't stand still long enough for a photo but I think he will have a scar for a while to remind us.

The second of the cxanvas ATCs for the round robin. This one from Gen Payne. Love it, love it, love it! I have that Cuttlebug die so I can add yet another thing to do with it. Well, when I get to use it anyway! It is sitting in it's box until Saturday when my DH will let me open it. It is my birthday present and even though it has been in my house for some weeks I am not allowed to open and use them till Saturday, he is cruel isn't he! (Loves ya hon!)
This from the Calling All Stampers, Winner Takes All comp. Each month someone is chose as the lucky winner and the rest of the group send her an ATC. This is all the way from Texas by Kim Mckinney. The pic is a bit washed out which is a pity because that background is just yummy. Darker and shimmery. Definetly have to ask how it was done.
