Quick post as sooooo busy!!

This is a very quick hi there and hello. I have been busy since about 7.15am doing what I love best, creating and baking here at craft and cook central!!! I have been making the last cakes, bites and nibbles, including marshmallow snowballs and some yummy oatmeal biscuits, plus labelling all my lemon curd. I have baskets everywhere for putting in the car in a little while - with the weather so cold they will keep very well over night!!

Will check in and let you know how tomorrow goes.xx

My guest blog post!

Just thought I would re-post my guest spot on the lovely http://teresacrafts.blogspot.co.uk just in case you didn't see it.xx

My Very Own Tags of Christmas

Guest blog post by Louise Houghton

Ramblings of a non-blonde blonde. Much more fun than dust busting!

I was inspired by the god of grunge himself, Tim Holtz, quite early into my crafting obsession,sorry, hobby and I love giving the old and shabby look to a lot of the things I create.

I have recently posted on my Facebook page all the journals and note books I have made for people; here you will see the range of techniques I use to give that vintage look along with other ideas of texture plus embellishments - let me know what you think by posting a comment. You can also find me on Twitter at @cardscakesbakes.

I am busy making and creating for the Christmas Craft Event in December I will be taking part in, eeeek - very excited already and here are some of My Very Own Tags of Christmas that will be on my table.

Tags of Christmas made from post cards and luggage tags using anything from Tunnocks teacake wrappers, Tim Holtz bingo stamp and die cuts from My Minds Eye, Echo Park and home made candy cane toppers

I am very excited to be already getting ready for the festive season. Preparations begin in earnest as soon as I get my copy of Country Living for inspiration and ideas! Some of you will have seen my Christmas Countdown banner I have made for my two boys, and December 1st cannot come quick enough for us to be able to pin it up on the mantle!
