Tibits from The Cubbyhole...

Morning folks...there's something quite magical about waking up to a snowy morning...oh yes it's very pretty...
but the reality is...if you need to go anywhere...you have to do the driveway snow clearance first...that's a chore and a half and thank goodness I hadn't yet got round to swopping over the winter tyres...
but it's almost all gone now and we're back to normal doggy stroll conditions but who knows about up on the mountain tops...with a little bit of luck I may just get one more day of fixing these metal planks to my feet...just what this "kitted out" crafter needs next week...an exhilarating "blow away all the cobwebs" day on the slopes.
Crikey I just made it through this last kitting marathon by the skin of my teeth...it was an absolute nightmare trying to get some of the flower shapes to release from Timmie's Alterations Tattered Flower Garland  Decorative Strip and the more I cut...the harder it got...with 90 strips to get through...the task of gently persuading each one to let go had me ready to abandon the cubbyhole and head for the hills or book myself into Aberdeen's version of The Priory.  There was only one person who could help this old crafty girl out of a jam...the King of Kitting himself...the Super Trooper of All Things Die-Cut...the one and only wonderful MARIO...my prayers were answered...my bacon well and truly saved and my sanity and hair left in tact when he popped up in my Inbox with a super crafty tip...HOW I LOVE THAT MAN...he's an absolute sweetheart...my knight in shining armour...I knew he would come to the rescue of this damsel in distress and if you've been struggling too... the solution is right HERE...scroll down to Step 34.
Wish now that I'd asked if he also has a miracle cure for the old die-cutting crick in your neck syndrome and for the very last time...a little tease for the crafty girls who will be joining in the fun at "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" on Saturday...
and last but by no means least...there's an absolutely fabulous
over at The Ribbon Girls and even more good news...there are lots of new products in stock too...so what are you waiting for...pop over and feast your eyes...
See you all tomorrow over at Frantic "running around like a headless chicken" Friday
