Japanese Lucky Owls

These little cuties are so quick and easy to make and 3 of them made lovely little presents for Ruby's Kindy teachers ( we changed kindys recently) so to say good bye and thankyou, we gave them a lucky owl. I have been doing a lot of crafting lately, (and not a lot of scrapbooking) I have made lavender bags, hanging lavender hearts and pearl bead coat hangers for Christmas pressies this year, i am determined to be organised. I have decided that we are having a Handmade Christmas this year, not only will it save me money, it will be much more personal because the gifts will be made my me. I will add the photos of my little creations as I take them.

Place cards for the Lion's Club

I have been a very busy girl in the last few weeks, I was lucky enough to be involved in the Cleveland Bay Lions Club of Townsville's 50th Aniversary dinner, I made the place cards and the little purple boxes for chocolate treats for the ladies. The mens place cards had a yellow bow tie and the ladies had a purple ribbon in the hair. The little lion is actually a "High Hopes" stamp. They were very time consuming (all 121 of them!) but I was very happy with the result and they were enjoyed by everyone who attended the dinner, which is why I love to create. It makes me happy and it is a bonus when other people enjoy your efforts as well.
