It's Saturday...

Hi Folks...I can hardly believe it's Saturday already...halfway through my latest Fiskars adventure...the busiest day of the show when hundreds and hundreds of crafty folks descend on The NEC to spend their crafty pennies...it's usually pretty manic and jammed packed in the aisles which means that a trip to the loo or to grab a quick coffee requires Olympic stamina...why is it that everyone seems to be travelling in the opposite direction...it's a real stick out your elbows...excuse me...excuse me...excuse me journey.
But it's time to share another "catch-up" crafty project and this was one of those crafty sagas.
I can't be the only crafter that buys something on a spur of the moment whim and once you get it home you have second thoughts...that old "what on earth possessed me" feeling and that's what happened with this embossing folder...
it was the cute lollipop type flowers that caught my eye but once I embossed it...I wasn't so sure and after a messy inky and brayering session...
it definitely wasn't floating any boats but I was determined this boy wasn't going to end up consigned to the back of a drawer never used and gathering dust so bloated from much coffee and almost bald from the head scratching...finally I had something I liked...

but this can't just be a one-trick pony so I'll be putting my thinking cap on for more "apres Birmingham" ideas and remember my Melt Pot dilemma...well you should have known that I wouldn't be able to resist a little play...
so I'll see you all tomorrow to share my "lots of fun with the Melt Pot " tag.
Hugs Kath
