Hi!!!

Morning Everyone,
Hope your all well..sorry I haven't posted anything for a couple of days but sunday we were out and then yesterday I spent the day making these pillow boxes..and katy came home with some friends they had history home work to do so I couldn't get anywhere near the computer..I have been asked to do a craft fair on saturday for the Blue Cross animal charity which is where jack the dog came from..haven't done one for years so need to make lots of things..I made these for Katy's school craft fair when she was at primary school the kid's loved them..



You put a bar of good soap in the pillow box with some punched out snowflakes and it becomes snowman soap...



looking forward to do it.. but worrying if I'll have enough stuff and if people will like my cards and things..hope to be back later with a card...
