Bad, bad blogger...

I have been a bad blogger, life got in the way and I haven't blogged and I haven't scrapped and because he was ignored, mojo decided to go walkabout. Now I'm not sure what other people do when missing their mojo but I tend to have a really good clean up in the scraproom, order some new stash and hope he comes back! So I thought I would take this opportunity to share a couple of things.

This is a printers tray I did last year and when he was home on leave, Chris put it up on the sun lounge wall for me. I am not completely sure it is finished, but it certainly looks better up on the wall than tucked behind one of the cane chairs! ;)

When I got up this morning, mojo had sort of returned so I got the pile of chipboard tags out that I had Gail at Craftspirations cut for me - all 50 of them!! I have an idea brewing and its quite therapeutic to sit with a glass nail file and sand all the edges of the tags with Radio 2 playing in the background....


When I went to Lidl last I saw these glass topped wooden boxes that were for putting teabags in - the sort of thing you see in hotels at breakfast - well, I couldn't resist picking one up as it looked perfect for displaying my growing collection of ATC's that I have been given or swapped. Its so much nicer than having them hidden away in a album or box and when I sit in the sun lounge with a cup of coffee I can have a look through them and admire them in all their tiny beauty.

    I love the printer's tray and what a waste to store tea bags, its just crying out for ATCs, its a crime lol :)

    I think you were missing a glass of wine while filing down the sides of your tags ;)

    Your printers tray is lovely VV, and I love the idea of the ATC holder. We must have kindered spirits for both loading our printers tray photo's on the same day. LOL....
