Masquerade

Do you remember the Mask I ordered from Abakhan

as part of my £15 a month blogger challenge

 

 Well, here is the finished article! Painted with sparkly paints, gold liner and shiny nuggets attached, all ready for the fancy dress ball......

 I also made lots of things from all the beautiful felt, most of which I can't show you as I have made them for Christmas Presents :) However, I will show you this felt Christmas tree which picassa has decided looks better on its side :( The last day for guaranteed Christmas delivery from Abakhan is tomorrow. So do go and take a look, they really are good value :)

Anyway, I was shown how to use picassa to upload my photos, wrote a blog and then promptly forgot how to do it! I have now been shown again, and I don't think I will forget again! but I have loads of thinks to catch up on...
I received my wonderful Cracker swap from Rachel of Rachels blog..

 I LOVE it...... a gold and silver pen (ideal for writing my Christmas cards with) and a kitchen roll wrapped with lovely purple fabric with gold snowflakes and tied with a gold ribbon.

 and inside was all this amazing stuff, Very much on the purple theme, which I adore.

 These sequins, wow, and as for the origami stars, I do wish I could make them!

 Lots of chocolate, already eaten.... a wonderfully scented candle and a handmade bookmark

 I love the suffolk puff keyring, it is double sided

 I have been thoroughly spoilt, thank you so much Rachel, and to her Mum, Tracy at MadaboutBags who organised the whole thing.
In the meantime, I am also really enjoying my advent swap too from Lissyloo. I hope to show you photos of all of the wonderful gifts I have received sometime soon......
Well, this is the stage where I begin to panic and realise there is a possibility that I won't get everything done in time for Christmas, does anyone else feel like this?
See you soon
