Morning all! Well I'm feeling much brighter this morning - we all had a good day yesterday - in the morning I was helping out at the Wallace and Gromit teaparty arranged by guides/ brownies. I was on the craft stand and I got the litle ones making animal masks - it was great - not sure how much they raised but I think it was successful! We had a lazy afternoon in and then had our first family film night - now I can't remember which of you lovely ladies mentioned it - Lisa? Trace? but its such a fab idea so thankyou - we all watched Matilda and when the phone rang ignored it - super family time!
Talking of family - todays post is a little something I've made for my daughter Penny - her birthday is on the 20th Jo - sorry I didn't reply - but I have now! Its got a few bits and bobs in it that will help her in her own crafty journey - I'm already planning one for Lucy in August - I hope she's not too jealous of her litle sister getting one first......
I've coloured the bare box using dylusion sprays then added the die cut circle to the top and the housemouse decoupage - finally the lettering and the embellies - very simple but pretty and I think she'll love it. - there's cards, ribbon, stickers and papers in there. I think she'll enjoy herself.
I'd like to enter this box into the following challenges:

I love watching a good film, sounds like a great time and also making animal masks. This is a fab idea, she will love it. Re Copics, they are not much more that PMs, i have bought some for £2.15 and some for £2.30. Having to sell some PMs gradually to fund them though. Enjoy your Sunday and thanks for being such a loyal follower x
