WOYWW 172

Hi everyone, Wednesday again already?!! That means it's time for What's on your workdesk Wednesday. If you don't know what this is follow the link and have a look. Here's what's happening in my craft room at the moment...

I went to the Summer Crafting workshop at Doncaster Racecourse in July and one of the projects we made was a fancy wrap for soap, and a gift bag to put it in. I decided to have a go and make some for my Mum to have in her raffle (she runs a fund raising coffee morning for the village church). Only thing I never thought of was the fact that the soaps I bought have rounded edges and the one I used on the course had straight. I've made one to see how it looks...
The pink one is the original and the green one is the new one. Here is the pile of stuff I got out to use, including the sheets of glittered acetate, which smell horrible...
In this next picture is my box of flowers and fancy bits. I think I need to swap to a bigger box soon...
You can also see the pack of card and matching die cuts. All the card, acetate, ribbon etc that I've used on this came in my goody bag from the workshop. I also have a use for the bag it all came in. It's full of cards I've made which haven't been sent. Really need to find a way to sell some of these cos I'm running out of room to keep them...
If you look on the first picture I showed you there's a card I made for a good friend, I blogged it yesterday. Here is a proper look...
And for the last couple of weeks I've been hiding a project that I was working on for my friends' Silver Wedding Anniversary. Here is the finished project...
Lastly, it wouldn't be WOYWW if I didn't show my lovely Lisa. This morning I managed to get a piccie of her saying please...
Right, time to have a peek what everyone else has been up to. See you soon.
Helen xx

  3. LOLOL - your 'ball' sentiment made me laugh!! That's a great car for a grumpy old man :)
    And the soap wrappers are really pretty - that's adding value to a plain old bar. Great idea!!

  12. Hi Helen! I'm running late this week!

    LOVE the soaps! What a great idea! I think the rounded one looks just as good as the original one you did in your class. What a good idea to use some to help your mom raise funds too!

    LOVE the pic of your dog! What a cutie!
