Teachers Gift

Hello Everyone

I am on leave and I am really enjoying getting some stuff done at home and also getting ready for Christmas with some shopping etc.

It's amazing but the days seem to go even faster than they normally do!!!

My son had an amazing teacher this year and so I really wanted to give her something special.

So I altered a stationery holder for a gift for her.

I found this cute apple. I just applied a crackle effect to it and then filled it with pens and goodies.

Simple but effective! ;-)

She really loved it and I was pleased about that!

I know the difference that she made to my son this year and I know how important it is to have a good and engaged teacher! I wish more teachers were like her!

Anyways, have a good day and let me know how your Christmas "getting ready" is going! ;-)

Cheers for now.

Altered Box - Masculine

Hello Everyone

Apologies that my posts are a bit erratic, but it's that time of the year that our kids are writing exams and my husband has been away in the States for more than a week already.

So yes, life has been a little hectic.

My brothers birthday is in a 2 weeks time and my parents were going to visit him.

So I wanted to send something along with them.

This is what I sent.

I really had so much fun with this lid, where I used all sorts of powders and paints to get this old and rusty effect. I really do love all the rust Pentart products that makes it so easy.

I used some Graphic 45 bits and pieces for the inside and outside as well.

Sadly I was in such a rush to photograph and pack this box that I didn't take any photo's of the inside.

LOL....I will leave that up to the imagination.

In anycase, I really hope my boet likes it.

I am sure he can put all sorts of knicky knack stuff inside.

Okay lovely people, I hope you are all well!

Wishing you a fabulous Monday!
