Laura over at strawberry mouse crafts , (I wish I knew how to link up on my iPad) , started a travelling craft box some time ago and I've always avidly waited for reports and photos of the makes , I commented on Laura's blog that I wish I could join in , imagine my delight when I was asked to contribute .
There are 8 people who joins in with this and just over two weeks ago I was delighted to receive the box .
I was astonished by the quantity and quality of the crafty goodness inside the box , the idea is you choose how many items out of the box you want to keep and replace them with same number of your own hand made crafts.
I' m afraid I was at a big advantage because the box came from Steph over at show and tell , and i am already a fan of Steph's makes, so what to keep out of box for my own ? That was a dilemma.
I wanted to keep everything , so selfish of me , but that wouldn't be fair and it would have took ages for me to replace them , so I finally decided what to keep and here they are
Six of the items are from Steph , two from Kerrie and two from Rae
It's worth visiting Steph's blog for detailed and better photos of her makes
These are what I choose
Green man biscornu on hand dyed Aidan
Wee witchy framed doodle , wee wonderland
Crocheted cute Hello Kitty with blanket
Flower Fairy hanger
Three angels pin
Beautiful Love and Light brooch
All the above are made by steph
My other picks are
Red beaded bracelet and decorated ornamental egg from Rae
Patchwork pin cushion and dragonfly brooch from Kerry
Even after picking all these goodies, there were still loads left.
It is now on its way back to Laura , well on Monday it will be , with my makes inside , and once Lara has received it I'll be able to show what I replaced these lovely items with , don' t want to spoil the surprise .
This is a close up photo of Rae and Kerry's makes
