Thank You Paula – Guest Crafters Iris and Bertie

What can I say, but a MAHOOOOOOSIVE “Thank You” to Paula, one of the wonderful friends I’ve made through Fiddle Fart.  She sends me lots of crafty bits and pieces throughout the year, all of which I am always thrilled with, but she topped absolutely everything this Christmas for Iris, Bertie and I ………………

…… with a parcel arriving right at the start of the holidays when I had Iris and Bertie for a couple of days with a sleepover in between to give mum and dad a chance to get a few important things done, as well as getting a few extra zzzzzzz’s in while they could!

Inside said parcel was a set of the much sought after Hobbycraft, ceramic house tealight holders. They sold out instantly online every time they restocked and that was way back in September/October ………. I can’t tell you how thrilled I was, as Marc and I had both been desperate to get our mitts on some.  Sorry Marc!

Also in the parcel was a set of permanent pens, so it goes without saying that two little people were instantly totally absorbed and occupied ………..

………. also giving Nanny at least an hour of peace and quiet too ……

……. and the end results were magical, with Bertie insisting that we put a tealight in them all for the rest of the day, even taking his to bed (with a battery operated candle this time) to gaze at lovingly.

And the other house? Well, it would have been rude for Nanny not to crash the party too. 

The next day I gave all three house at least four coats of clear, gloss varnish, which made the colours pop, sorry no photos.  I also wrote our names and date when painted on the bottom for the little ones to take into their future.

All three were carefully wrapped up and proudly taken home.  I can’t tell you what a brilliant present this was for all of us ………….. Thank you so much Paula, it was a truly inspired gift, that made memories of a wonderful Christmas time spent together, each lost in our own world ………… Thank you. so much.
