Hello welcome back as I type this with frost in the garden but stunning sunshine I can't help but believe that spring is in the air and it's lovely it really is. Before I get started on some Easter crafts I thought I'd do a quick magazine review and this is Dalphne's diary. I will admit to often wondering what this magazine was about but always skipping it for something with a free gift on it. This is the second one i have purchased now. How do I describe this magazine?, well its very dreamy for the crafter who likes flowers, cake making, actually lets go as far as saying the home maker. It always features a post on other countries and is very shabby chic, with pull out recepies on pretty little cards, free stickers ( the inner child in me loves stickers), lots of craft projects some easy some a lot harder, stories or poems and a little about self help. Its actually an all rounder ideal for a dreamer and if you love Cath Kidston then you will probably like this. I did cut one of the pages out to go in a frame above the fire. Well now it is half term so the reality of me working is going to be difficult with 3 children and we have a visit to see peter rabbit planned and possibly cadburys world?!, well it is Easter. I have also been bargain hunting in the pound shop, pound land and the works for Easter Crafts. Firstly these lovely little ceramic Easter ornaments which have been lovingly painted by the youngest just £1 for all four including paint and the brush! an absolute bargain. I also decided to make some loaded envelopes. If you are not sure what loaded envelopes are they are envelopes themed and full of craft supplies. Using some 12 by 12 sheets of card and my envelope punch board i made this envelop. I have simply taken lots of craft supplies and split them into litttle clear pockets with easter themed craft supplies. I did make the bow using sizzix bow bow die but everything else has been bought. I intend on adding lots of funky foam craft easter shapes, perhaps some plain gift tags as well. I did find these cute rubbers and some washi tape and that green thing is actually a chick. Bellow is a picture of my crafty treats. I have actually made 8 loaded envelopes so splitting it all up has taken some time. I would suggest you only make one at a time. I am sure I will be making a bit more over Easter.
Have a lovely Easter everyone xxxx
