Lower Case Alphas

Hi Everybody,

Always a useful addition to your crafting goodies and I had added quite a few videos using both the upper and lower case alphabets from Card Making Magic.

There are several different fonts to choose from in the collections but here I am featuring the Lower Case set that matches beautifully with the original Upper Case.

You can add any name you need to your projects if you have an alphabet.

I have added this video to the Playlist on YouTube so I hope you enjoy watching this short one.


You will find other ideas in the playlist that you may like to try and they are a lot of fun to work with.
And if you can't add the letters in a straight line ... then add them wonky to start and that way nobody will know any different.

More tomorrow ...

Bag Charm Gifts

 Hi Everybody,

I have progressed from Glue Bottle Pins to these lovely Bag Charms and I am really pleased with the way they have turned out.

I have been practising the loops and knots needed to make them, and working with wire is not that easy, as my fingers can tell you.

I bought the key rings and Lobster clasps from Amazon and I chose the middle size clasp as it was not too big or small.

I have used the chain, jump rings, beads and silver ware all from Amazon and I have added as many links as I could at the end of the post.

The beads I already had, and I have literally hundreds of them since my last foray into making hatpins.

Both of these are made as Thank You gifts for the ladies who take care of Ruby at playschool every week. 

I have used small alphabet beads to add their names to the key holders and I have done them in different colours. 

I am hoping that that they will like them when I give them to each of them. 

I have enjoyed making these and I have more lined up for my family members.

They are a good way for me to relax at the end of the day and they are something I can do and watch TV at the same time.

I will show you the others as they are made. What do you think of them ??

More tomorrow ...

Ann Topp - Winner

HI Everybody,

This is going to be a lovely day ... according to the weather forecast and Ruby and I will be out there later in the sunshine for our walk. I hope you are having a good weekend wherever you are. Even if you are staying home and crafting all day.

I have done the draw good and early today and this will be the first week that I give away one of the Glue Pins along with the magazine. So I hope you will like it and make the most of it in your glue bottles. 

The only problem is that I am not sure if the pins are stainless steel. 

But I am new to this so please be patient and if it should go rusty then please please let me know and I will  change the pins I am using. 

On to the winner this week ...

Ann Topp

Would you please email me your postal address to
