Pay it forward!

Back in November I signed up to my artist blog friend Julia Crossland's "Pay-it-forward".
Now that my mojo has returned and I have started creating again, I thought it was a good time to pass on this little bit of good will to 3 of you wonderful blogging friends!
It seems to me, to be a brilliant way of spreading a bit of Goodness in the world without expectation of anything in return...just giving for the sake of giving, to make the planet a bit more cheerier (and oh it works, it really does!!)

If you would like to take part, then you need to be one of the first three people to leave me a comment on this post. I will get in touch to ask you to send me your address, and in due course I will post a little something out to you!

The first three people then in turn, will send out a little goodness to three others and so the love and the happiness continues to spread around our little globe!

So - how about it ? Who wants to receive a little something from Sisters Crafty Creations?
Don't forget you will be promising to send something you have made to 3 more lovely folk from our blogging community!
Go on - you know you want to!!!

WOYWW and the return of Mojo!

Welcome all you kind, thoughtful WOYWWers!!
The Mojo has returned!!  Thank you to everyone who left such lovely messages on my blog last week.
Yes, I am feeling fine again, thank goodness. Back to my usual bouncy self, full of energy again and raring to get on with a few crafty jobs.

 Over the weekend, I eased myself gently into my craftiness thanks to my daughter M. She left a bag of bits and bobs for me to store when she moved house (about 3 years ago!). I unearthed it and tipped out the contents. It was a wonderful little treasure trove of tiny silk paintings and card toppers that she had made.

So, I set to and mounted them all.

What a fab collection of cards we now have to share between us.

Then, I decided to make a little collage, to mount in a card, for my niece who has just moved house. She chose Friday when she had to cope with 4 inches of snow! So, I made a little house in the snow with a tiny tree in the garden. Strangely, her new home does have a little fir tree in the garden.

Now, who is this handsome young man admiring himself in the mirror? I noticed him showing off when I was down at Wipso's today. Mr Tumble is a firm favourite with lots of tinies. Little P. loves hers and sits him on the settee beside her as she watches his programme. I can see why. He is such a cuddly, little rag doll. Another of Wipso's fab creations!

So, what next for craftiness....

Well I have 2 hats to finish and then I am going to get my sock doll book out, to create a friend for Scruffy.

Have a great week - I will pop over to Julia's blog and link up with some of you later today.

New header picture

I just loved this photo from Christmas week and decided I would make it my header pic for a few weeks.
I will put my old header pic back eventually because I love the message my little rainbow carries.

Update:
I did that yesterday.
Now, today, my view looks very similar - more snow!!!
Wipso says I wished it on us!

WOYWW - it's me again!

Well folks, it's Scruffy manning the desk on Wednesday again and you have caught me reading Twiglet's new book.
She thinks her friends bought it for her but really they knew I would like to meet a few new friends, so they bought it, so that I could link up with one or two. I am not sure if  I am supposed to email them or check them out on Facebook!! I have noticed one or two interesting characters like sad monkey and the frog. I will have a word with Twiglet and see if she approves of them first of course. It would be nice to meet a few like minds to chat over old times. Perhaps I can invite them round so that you can meet them one Wednesday.

Poor old Twiglet caught the bug that everyone else has. She has been coughing and sneezing for days! I also noticed that it's been very quiet in the sewing room here and I heard her say she has lost her mojo. I have looked everywhere but can't find it so I hope it returns soon. It's just not like Twiglet to sit around looking glum. I wonder if Wipso has found it. "Hey, Wipso have you got Twiglet's mojo? No? And you have lost yours too? What a careless pair you are!!!"

Oh well it looks like I shall have to do the rounds and check out Mr Linky. I noticed that Julia - queen of snoop - won Twiglet's brooch give-away yesterday. Well if anyone deserves a bit of good luck she does! Well done Julia - hope you like it.
Oh and I am supposed to remind you that Wipso and Twiglet (Sisters Crafty Creations) have a sale on in the blog shop. I hope they don't sell all my sock doll friends or I will have noone to play with - well, until I sort out these little mates in my new catalogue - er book!!

OK - back to scanning the pages. See you soon. x x x Scruffy
