Last post of 2011

So here we are at the last post of 2011.

Loved your anything goes projects of last week - please do forgive us if we have not visited this week but I promise we will - I am sure you understand how busy the team have been.

we still have a fabulous winner though picked by our faithful pal Mr Linky!

So big congrats to 

Number 116

Ellie

Please get in touch about a guest spot.

Onto this week which as its the last week of the month is Altered week

This week we would like to see you use any packaging you received this Christmas - altered to look fabulous instead of heading for the bin.

As always on Altered week we are sponsored by our good friends at The Craft Barn

Only a few of the team are playing today due to other commitments but do check back as projects will be added as the week goes on.

First up here is the wonderful Pat

who has recycled wrapping paper to make a new decoration for next year!

Stop by her blog to find out more here

and here is Janets project which was a box that held her sons Christmas socks!

Now transformed into a box to hold her daughters sketching pens and pencils - amazing what pretty papers can do!

Stop by Janets project here

And here's Michelle's Project made from a bauble which contained sweets (wonder who ate those) and some lovely ribbons and trimmings which came wrapped around her gifts

She's filled the bauble with perfumed bath salts and later today she'll show you how to make them here

Michelle and I would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful team for all their hard work and commitment over the last year. 

Producing a project a week when you have a busy life is sometimes quite challenging and the standard of what the team produce is so high we are often agog at their talents.

I would also like to say a massive thank you to our sponsors and of course our participants - you are so talented its a pleasure to see your projects.

Happy crafting and Happy New Year!
