I've got some really good news.......

Hi everyone,

Sorry I've been missing for a while...

I've been suffering with depression,

I've lost my Mojo for Card-Making ,

But I have found other craft helpful in taking my mind of things.

I recently visited a fabulous shop on our Marina,

Le Chicsy.

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Le-chicsy/632210106840159?fref=nf

It's run by a lovely lady named Lisa Tobin....

To cut a long story short,

She said I could take some of my Craft Creations in to sell.

It would be lovely if you hopped over & liked her page.

You might remember my Shadow Box (Sewing)

Two of my altered Photo Frames.

A selection of Altered Books & Tags.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog,

The story of a "Happy Tin"

Hi everyone,

I hope you are well....

We've had another bereavement in the family,

Our nephew (Robert) lost his fight with Cancer....

To keep my mind occupied, I've made this little storage tin,

I hope you like it.

I started life as an empty tin.....
I felt so useless....
Sob, Sob....
Then Sylvia came along & covered me with some glittery wallpaper...
She loves wallpaper....

Then she gave me my lovely Googly eyes,
A cute button nose & a lovely smile....
Now I'm a "Happy Tin"
I can look after Some of Sylvia's buttons....

Sylvia even made me a cute hat,
I am getting a red pompom for Christmas....
I'm so happy....

THE END

Items used.
Empty Tin.
Horlicks Lid.
Wallpaper.

Red Button.
White Cardstock (Mouth)
Black Beads (Feet)
Gesso.

Thank you for your visit,
I will do my best to comment on all your blogs.
