Tutorial & Candy Winner...

Hi everyone!

Today I have a tip for you... I'll tell you something that can save up some time and environment. :) I've got into a habit of upcycling cardboard and thick paper. Whenever I need any sturdy card I know I have a stash and I don't need to spend any money. I use my Purple Cows Trimmer to cut the box into either rectangles or squares, that way when I want to use any pieces I know that they'll be rectangular or square. 

From one box I have at least 2 pieces which are the same size. From this box I have got 4 pieces!

 

Below is my stash... It took only 3 weeks to collect all of the pieces!

Huge thank you to everyone for taking part in my candy!

And now onto the candy winner... Alizabethy!

Congratulation! Please contact me on magdalena.brauer@gmail.com with you contact details. :)

WOYWW! :)

Hi everyone!

First great news! I got healthcare secretary job!!! Can you imagine how fab it felt when I got a phone call just before Christmas and heard that brilliant news! :)

Yeah! I'm so happy!!! :)

Below are some photos of the things I got for Christmas. I'm incredibly lucky to have received what I wanted! :))

My new Cuttlebug...

Versa fine inks...

I treated myself to some half price tins in Waterstones. Will alter them later. :) 

Happy New Year!

Don't forget about my candy... 

My Blog Candy

Thursday is a tutorial day! :)

Hi everyone!

Posting late today as I've been very busy since 7 a.m. :) but have something incredibly easy to show you...

As you probably know I'm still out of work and looking for something to do. By the way I'm waiting for a result of yesterday's interview! 

Because I don't work I haven't got much to spend so whatever I buy has to be either something I need or a bargain. 

Today I found this... 

And made myself this... Just stick some gems to make the hair clip look more expensive. :)

My blog candy!

WOYWW! :)

 A photo of the wall in front of me. Front pages of paper pads as a reminder of what I've got.

Another bargain. :) This time it's gems I have found on Ebay. They are very good quality and come to you in small bags, all colours are packed individually.

800 gems for &1.39 + FREE postage!

600 gems for £1.47 + FREE postage.

It's an amazing value! The only drawback is the delivery time. It took almost 3 weeks for the gems to be delivered as they come from Hong Kong.

And two photos of a gift box I've made.
