(This is the first one I have completed, it is really sparkely, though you can't tell from this pic! ;0) I just LOVE Sparkle!)
I'm ignoring the hot weather and crafting hand - painted cards for Christmas, embellished with glitter. I've had lots of fun doing this; crafting is always so relaxing! I've got a lot more ideas, and have already sketched them in. I just hope they turn out well!
I have several projects that need doing, and will hopefully have more pictures to share over the next few weeks. One of the projects is decorating up a plain beige lamp shade. I've done a lamp shade before and thought it turned out cute. So I hope this one does, too.
What have you all been up to this week? Whatever it is, I hope you enjoyed it!
