No rain here!

This holidays the days have been all clear and blue skys so far, although they have been a bit chilly!
So, we crafted :) 
Avalon looked through all the Alphabet Glue e-mags and chose the tiny box with the accordion book.  We made....heaps!


We used scrapbook paper from my stash....

Used the 'chopper' but you could easily do it with scissors

A little snip here and there.....

Reading those instructions.....

Finished!

A hidey place for secrets....

I made a few too ;)

..... the mess!


I love going to crafty blogs, but they can be intimidating in the way that everything looks perfect and magical and effortless, which can make us mere mortals feel less than awesome!....so I hope to remember to post a 'reality' type photo with anything we make...this is what it all looked like when we were done!
 But I can happily type that no tantrums were chucked during the making of these boxes even after I measured a couple heap in a row wrongly, you can see them all in a pile in the last photo
  (they WERE pretty easy actually! I was just being daft!)


Next Zara wants to make bug keeper boxes ...stay tuned!
