Gotta have a giggle at these things ….

You Are a Red Pen

You have an eagle eye for detail, and this often means you end up finding mistakes in people’s work.You may seem quick to criticize or correct, but you think accuracy and truth is important.You like to be involved in every project. You feel like you put the polishing touch on things.You would make a good editor, detective, or accountant. When facts matter, you’re the person to call on.

What Office Supply Are You?

I’m not sure about the ‘accontant’ bit though – I was hoping I’d be a set of coloured pencils, lol ……
Have a go and see what office supply you are.

Little Treasures Recreated

Posted on April 13, 2009 by ElenaMay 28, 2015

What do you do with two tiny little trays? Transform them of course, from a plain steel finish to a colourful and decorative little treasure.

Each mini tray is Approx. 10 cm x 15 cm

In their original condition the gorgeous embossed pattern could barely be noticed. The painted finish now highlights the ornate pattern around the edge and cute little handles. And a simple rose in the middle is all that’s needed to crown the once insignificant little tray into a cute decorative piece.

Easter Crafts

Posted on April 6, 2009 by ElenaMay 28, 2015

Here are a couple of lovely little crafty idea for Easter. Thse ideas could also be used for other occasions. Handmade gifts can be put together by anyone especially when you have step by step instructions. Once you create one gift, then another, you’ll eventually get the hang of it & will begin to add your own creative flair to it. You may be pleasantly surprised at what you can do.

Here is an Easter Egg Diorama you can try. Instructions are included with pics step by step ….. don’t use it just for Easter though as you could easily adapt this idea for other occasions too. Take it to any stage you wish – keep it simple, make it ornate or craft a fine collectable piece – it’s all up to you.

Or how about a Free Download for a Pretty Post-It Gift from This n’That, stuff, stories, art Photos, my life … This is such a gorgeous idea I’ll have to try out myself. You can’t go wrong with this idea – we all love Post-It notes.

Enjoy your gift making – let me know if you try them out and if possible post a pic on your blog so I can have a peek
