Change of mind ...
.. which of course is what us Ladies are allowed to do.
Good evening ladies & what a wonderful weekend of weather. I hear it may rain tomorrow. Ah well we should be used to that by now, shouldn't we.
So what did I change my mind over? You will remember I was going to go out & purchase one of those metallic pens in silver to go around the edges of my pillow box tags. During the night I woke up & the first thing that came to mind was ..... "layer them onto silver paper or card for the border". Well! you do don't you - wake up & think of things like that I mean. I can spend ages trying to think of different ways to do things with no luck at all - then wake up in the middle of the night & instantly solve the problem.
Out came the Big Shot again & I used the next size up Nestabiltie die to the tag size & cut 35 silver plaques. Then I glued the two layers together. Just what the doctor ordered - so to speak!
This morning I filled the boxes with their contents & I am now just left with putting the ribbon round & adhering the tags. But I am not going to do that part until a couple of days before they are needed to make sure the tags don't get crushed.
Also yesterday morning I put the finishing touches to the challenge card & photographed it, then put the link on the challenge blog. You can see the card on my blog by clicking HERE.
Tomorrow I am taking Nadine over to Liverpool to an area where some of her ancestors lived. We are going to see how close we can get to one of the areas & look for a couple of the streets, two of which I know still exist - but I doubt the properties do.
More chat tomorrow - let you know how the Liverpool trip went.
Night, night
