Differences ...

 Hi Everybody,

I have ben busy sending out to the readers that requested them Pokey Tools and Glue Bottle Pins.

I have tucked the glue pins into the Friday Freebie magazines that have gone out each week and I hope you are putting them to good use.

But then I made some pokey tools as a practice run and asked if anybody would like one and the answer was yes. 

Some of them have still to arrive with their owners as they went to far away places and will still be in the postal system or your country. But they will get there eventually.

The picture shows you the difference in the sizes as the glue pin on the left is much much smaller, and the larger one will not fit into a glue bottle. So whichever you get it has been sent with love and is my gift to you.

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx

Margaret Powell - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

First of all thank you to those who asked me for the Pokey tools that I made and I am happy to say that they all went in the first two days. I asked that you email me with your address to

christina@card-making-magic.com.

Some emailed me but did not give me their address, somebody else left there address on the blog and it was instantly removed. Leaving it there just gives your information to the world and that is not good. 

Anonymous also asked me for one of them but gave me no name or address ... so how am I supposed to know who you are ???

So to those who did send their addresses to the correct place they will get the tools shortly. Some have gone to Canada, Australia and the US as well as here in the UK. I hope you will like them when they arrive with you.

And people that have already received them have now written to say they do really like them. so thank you for that also.

I also offered some of the earrings, via the blog comments,  to readers asking for their postal addresses too and they have not responded to that request either .. as yet. Get checking if you wanted some of them.

And now on to the winner of Fridays lovely offering from Lisa Horton and the name this week is ...

Margaret Powell

would you email me please with your postal address to 

christina@card-making-magic.com
and I will get the pack off to you as soon as I can.

The little glue pin will be inside the pack so be careful you don't lose it when you open the envelope.

More tomorrow ...

Friday Freebie - Under the Mistletoe

Hi Everybody,

The gift this week is staying with Christmas and it is from Lisa Horton called Under the Mistletoe.

In this set there is a beautiful slimline embossing folder and four dies that will match it perfectly.  

The magazine is full of ideas and inspiration that you may like to try as well as ways in which to use your pack.

So just for leaving a comment with your FULL NAME you can be in with the chance to win this and have it in your own crafting stash for ever.

If you have never won then please look at the way you enter and check that you have left your full name.

If you haven't then the comment you leave will not be entered into the draw as it is difficult to notify a stranger of their win, especially if it comes through as anonymous .... need I say more ???

It doesn't matter where you live or if you have own before I am happy to send the pack to you.

More tomorrow ...

Bead Work

Pokey Tools Eight

Hi Everybody,

Today my PC is going to the PC hospital to get fixed  and I will have to manage without it until it is back home again.

Instead I am adding some photos of some more bead-work that I have been doing and this time it is making some

 Pokey Tools

.

Pokey Tools Six

Once my PC is fixed completely I will do some videos again making cards.

All of these have been made from beads

 that I have had for quite some time and I am very new to making these

I don't profess to be any type of jewelry maker  but they are all sturdy and pretty and will do the job in question.

I am willing to give these away as they are only practice pieces so please let me know  if you would like to have one of them.

Email me  with your postal address to

 christina@card-making-magic.com

More tomorrow ...

Bev Williamson - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

What a day .... it is absolutely pouring down and so today I will be lighting my log burner and curling up in front of it.  Poor Ruby won't get to go out in this rain as I am a wimp and a fair weather walker. Even the cat won't go out the door in this.

So I have done the draw for Fridays offering and the bane today is 

Bev Williamson
would you email me please with your email postal address to

Earrings

More tomorrow ...
