I also took in some new joggers I'd bought. Really hate it when my size is the one in between the 2 size band they use. Really useful that the elastic was only sewn on the seam, taken about 2" out and run down the back seam accordingly. My hips have always outstripped my waist - hmmm. Sorted
So to last week. Cards for Angels, Angel journal page, 20 Upcycled Chrimbo cards made and 2 ATCs. I used all stuff re-found in my Christmas file.
Upcycled as I used old cards from which I die cut sections, a picture from a calendar, and even some tissue box penguins which had caught my eye some years ago. I also found some Christmas papers. All done and posted.
Oh and the icing on the cake my son had an interview today and was offered the job within hours. He'll be moving to Cambridge in the new year now, sob sob, he needs to find a house yet...Oh my all go - literally.
Angels everywhere! I do like the cards you made very much especially the doily angel, that works so well. I upcycled a few cards too this year, too nice to just throw and I don’t tend to keep most cards, I’m not a hoarder by nature!

I love the idea of upcycling the Christmas cards like that! It's like ready-made toppers and they work really well like that. Something for me to consider if I ever start making my own cards! The angel journal looks lovey too along with the ATCs. Happy #653! xx zsuzsa #14

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your so, BJ. He must have impressed them. Your cards are all lovely. I recycle too. I always think the cards I receive are far too nice to bin so I make new cards from old. Good luck for your son's house search. Hugs, Elizabeth x #16
