Just wanted to post the stuff I made on Friday, before the dreaded lurgy got me. The first tag is for the Dragon's Dream TIO. The theme this week is *Ticket to ride*
The next tag is my DT tag for the Halloween Challenge over at *The cheerful stamp pad*.
And at *Just for Fun* we have to recycle something from the kitchen. I have re-purposed a biscuit tin from Aldi's. It was filled with lovely Danish biscuits. I punched holes round the tin at intervals of 1 1/2" using my cropodile,and have turned it into a ribbon tin. I coiled the ribbons inside and threaded one end through the holes. The ribbon pulls out easily, and I have less flying around on my table!
Okay, that was enough for today. I am wrapped up on my recliner, working with my little net-book and have problems because my fingers are bigger than the keys!
Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for visiting!
Sorry to hear about your red nose day Valerie - strangely enough we have a day called this in the UK which is for a charity called Comic Relief, though I'm sure comedy doesn't come into it with yours!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous artwork and a lovely tin which I could do with.
Hope you feel loads better soon.
Hugs, Fliss xx
Sorry you frightened yourself this morning, Valerie, but happy you finally figured out it was you in the mirror and not an intruder. :o) You sound 'iffy' to me - so bundle up and take care of yourself. Hot rum sounds the order of the day, and if I was not so far away, I would deliver in person. Take care and look after yourself. Love your ribbon tin .. such a coup!
ReplyDeleteOH my gosh, Valerie, I sure hope that you will be feeling better! How on earth did you manage to make all these beautiful creations while you weren't feeling well?
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will be feeling "in the pink" soon!!!
Sending "get well" hugs your way!!!

Thanks for the nice comments and good wishes ladies. No rum in the house, what a pity....Cindy, I made the things before I got ill, I am not in a condition to do any crafting just now! It can only get better!
ReplyDeleteBig ((((hugs))) and sparkles to ward off the dreaded lurgy Valerie.
ReplyDeleteLoving your tags and the biscuit/ribbon tin is wonderful.
Take care of yourself and hope you're feeling better soon.

Hi Val, sorry to hear you are poorly. My kids are all down with colds and coughs, too, so it's probably a bug! Take care, and get well soon, Hugs, Sarah

ReplyDeleteI have looked back at some of your projects and to just name a few -- your chest for the hall is fantastic, I love the white and gold. Your JOURNAL pages are also marvelous and your RIBBON TIN so unique and clever.
I'll be off line again next week but will catch up and hope to read you are at the top of your game.
It is all that cleaning that caused your red nose. hehehe
