Yes I realise it may seem like its been FOREVER since you've had me nattering in your ear .... but do not despair ....... for I have returned!  Heehee.  I've been so busy since Christmas my head feels like its doing a bit of an Exorcist move and me old noggin keeps spinning around!!  Anywho....onwards and upwards as they say.... I know, I know.....you are all gonna be thinking "Another bloody altered box?  How much chocolate do you eat woman??!!"  Well, to answer that question......I love chocolate and could eat it until it came out of me ears.  But to be completely honest, as much as I would love to be able to eat chocolate until it came out of me ears......I cant, unless I dont care about fitting through my doors!!  But, I have been collecting boxes for a long time.  And even when family member get choccies

More Stick pins!!!  A little more elegant and little less Flamboyant! Here are a few more stick pins I've been making.  I will be including some of these in the 6 blog candies I am giving away, so if you haven't got your name down and you were one of my 301 original followers, get your name down on the Candy post before the 20th January 2012.   Sadly the camera doesn't bring out the detail on some of the beautiful beads, but they still look pretty.  These ones are a little more dainty and elegant I feel than the more flamboyant ones in the previous stickpin post.  I think these would be more suited to cards and altered items like pretty boxes and jewellery boxes.

Every year I say I will have everything bought, wrapped and delivered by the first week in December.  Aye right!  Lets face it, it may have come to your attention that I waffle a bit and yes....my promise to myself to be organised this year is nothing more than a load of dribble!  There was a silence for more than 5 seconds in my head so I had to fill it somehow! Anywho, here are some more stickpins. Edit.....I meant  to say, my wee sister Tara made some of these too....Im trying to convert her into a crafty

Stickpins, Flowers and Ghouls My Country Kitchen Collection of Flowers - Circles cut using Sizzix Circle Die Felt Rolled Roses using Sizzix 3D Flower Die Stickpins Galore! Yes, I have more flowers to show.........as always but also some stickpins.  Now again this is heavy on the photos but its for my own records.  Im not gonna waffle ("Say What Girlfriend?".....said with an over exaggerated America accent!) as there are quite a few photos and I want to get through them all.  I know, I know......Loops not waffling......Tis a strange day indeed. Admittedly some of the stickpins will NOT be to everyone's taste.  Those who follow my blog will know I dabble in a bit of Steampunk too (see altered guitar in a previous post) and some of the stickpins are a little Steampunkish/Gothic...ey style so Im very much aware that there are some who will not even give them the time of day.......BUT, I love'em. So here we go........heres what Ive been up to....
