If You Go Down To The Woods Today …
… you’re in for a little surprise.
For the filthy minded the title of this post, and its content, probably won’t match up to your expectations.
For the rest of you, I think you’ll be pleasantly rewarded.
After the marbling workshop that we did in Essex the other day I had a few bits left over and, given that I don’t have a whole lot of room to store my bits in Maisy, I thought that it would be a good idea to use these up.

Hey ho campers!
Been having a little play with some free papers that were in issue 156 of Cardmaking & Papercraft magazine and thought I’d share a tip on using them for something other than cardmaking.
All Counties Craft Challenge Diary – Maisy On The Road
Hello my little munchkins. Hope you are all well? So Maisy and I have been out on the road during the last week.
We have been trying out different places to stay and getting used to each other. There have been a couple of hiccups, but I am glad to say that we have made it through our first proper week together.
Much has happened, although not a huge amount of craft but do let me fill you in.
