August Bank Holiday Traditions

That's it August bank holiday again, tradition dictates this is the start of my preparing for Christmas! Well that and writing assignments, but as I am half way through writing my very last one for my MSc maybe next year I'll just be able to craft all weekend long!

So I am happy to report that I have started making my Christmas cards.  5 down, 35 to go....Hello Santa Box Cards....

The next project is one I have been thinking about for a while.  My hubbie loves Christmas he has a little year long calander he uses, but as I am forever moving it out the way to dust and the parts fall off, I wanted to make him something more substantial.  I used an old clock and drew out a perpetual calendar.  Then sanded and decorated up the clock front.

Hope you like it.....hubbie does.

Have a great week
Don't work too hard

haunted house

Its august already, where is this year going? Thinking about how behind I have been in my crafting this year, I decided last weekend to start a bigger project, in preparation of Autumn and Halloween. .  And , this afternoon,  I finished it.  My version of svgcuts.Com's  haunted house.  I've been waiting to use these graphic 45 wizard of oz papers for ages and this project seemed perfect.

Further below I've also popped in a pic of an amazing cake made by sharonsbakes , but for which I supplied the paper tennents and Guinness bottles.
Hope you like
Have a great week
