With the second lockdown happening leading up to Christmas I figured we all might need a little distraction from the doom and gloom and utter overwhelmingness (if that is even a word!) of it all and, selfishly, to give me something with which to occupy my mind
I always have plenty to do but nothing I HAVE to do but having announced it on FB I knew I'd not want to let anyone down so the second round of giveaways kept me motivated and really helped me through those weeks
I only did five this time :-

HEART OF CHRISTMAS
OOOooops!!!! No idea what products I used as I forgot to make a list
Finnabair's Heavy Black Gesso for sure and all the metal flowers and leaves are from her mechanicals range - as is the heart locket and it would all have been adhered with heavy body gel from Finn's Art Basics range
The little fir cones are from Tim Holtz's Ideaology range
CHRISTMAS BOX
A little book in a wooden box ... pages of the book are in the wrong order & with this new blogger thingy I just can't work out how to move them - but you will get the idea
I either forgot to write down the products used or I have lost the list - either quite a likely scenario
Apart from four or five pages that have Tim Holtz Ephemera the rest are are all stamped with images from my collection - glittered and embossed and inked and grunged.
The wreath on the front cover is from Tim's Ideaolody range and the stencil is one of his too
SILENT NIGHT MUSIC BOX
Ok ... it was really hard to give this one away as it has such a very personal attachment to it. I have told this story before - when I made nephew number one (Richard) a musical violin that played Silent Night shortly after daddy died.
Singing Silent Night was daddy's party piece but not sung in a beautiful choral fashion but quirky and funny and would always make us laugh as he would clasp his hand to his mouth when he got to the word "virgin"- just daddy being daft but I now can't hear that carol without tears forming
I had one little musical movement left from when I did the violin (never buy just one of anything and now wish I had bought more because they seem to be no longer available) so as the "Christmas in a Tin" idea took shape I just knew what I wanted to do
