and the week's certainly seem to whizz round. I've had a busy craft week and have managed to get a lot accomplished. Firstly on my desk are two cards for July birthdays. The Gorjuss girl one is drying and the one with a lot of glitter on is for a glitter loving friend who will be 90 and is just waiting for me to make a glittery number 90 to go on it. There are also a couple of dragon's which I am colouring with my ProMarkers for a 5th birthday card. To the left is the matchbox box I was working on last week....
and here is a better photo of the completed box..
the postman brought me lovely goodies this week and I seriously do not need to buy any more glitter, I had more than enough before I purchased these but I do love the Martha Stewart range and as for the Beadazzles - well I adore them and could never have too much.
I have managed to complete the candle box and tray that is for a Chanukah pressie. I have to say this is not my style or taste but it is very much the style of the person it is for.
I asked last week what I could do with all the matches from the boxes I've been making and it was suggested making them into backgrounds - sort of parquet floor style - so I had a play and managed after an hour or so to come up with thie tile - I now only need to make around another 11 to cover a card :o)
will I be making the other 11??? - doubtful it was very fiddly.
I've added to the box of charity cards and it now numbers the magical 100 and made two cards each for my older son and his wife as both their birthdays are on the same day next month.
I haven't moved or organised a single thing in my craft room this week - oops not quite true, I did have to bring in a mini chest of drawers for all my glitters.
If you are wondering what all this WOYWW is about why not pop over to the fab Julia Dunnit's blog (click on the WOYWW tag on the left hand side of my blog) to see what all the fun is about and then have a nosey round loads of fab blogs and see what they are up to this week.
That's all for now my crafty blog friends - will be bloghopping later and visiting you.
Have a good week.

Ooooh! Sparklies! Love the chanukah card and tray.
great cards and tin, very pretty. Wow soooo many tubes of glitter!
What an AWESOME way to use those matches. Gotta try that one of these days. I bet it WaS fiddly.
I really like the tray. Guess it's more my style than yours, so that's why I was drawn to it. I see you added glitter, too. Way to go, glitter Bee. Happy WOYWW.
