Did you know that there exist a mythical people among humans. They are paragons of self control, or oddities of peculiar taste. They do exist though, and Doctor Who can’t save the world from them. We have to learn to live with these people who (I can barely bring myself to say it…) Don’t. Eat. Chocolate.
Goldmine!

Don’t tell anyone, but we’re working on some super awesome crafts for Christmas! For reasons relating to the joy of seeing a surprised friend at Christmastime, most of them can’t be posted (YET), but we had to say SOMETHING because we’re just too excited!
Secret Crafts = Yes! Secret Smile ruining David Tennant for everyone = NO.
Secrets will be revealed soon, in time for you all to get your butts into gear and make some yourself – never fear x

Got a friend who’s got everything? Yes, we’ve all got one.
Give some memories:
For my room, I framed some tickets from some of my favourite concerts and put them on my wall in Ikea frames (=super cheap).
If you and your friend have been somewhere memorable together, why not frame a momento of the day? Perhaps the receipt from a particularly delicious meal you ate together, a train ticket from a fun journey you had, or a flyer from an attraction you saw.
Route around your handbag. Unless you are one of those freakishly tidy handbag people you may find something worth framing!
Party bags filled with sugary treats at pre-teen birthday parties. Lovely wedding favours at marital shindigs. Gifts for guests are a lovely extra to have at your party. We’ve found this cute and cost effective make to give to your guests at any of your soirees!
