Morning everyone - it's a good week for me as I have been published in Craft Stamper :) - have been published a few times before but always in scrapbooking magazines which is funny as I usually stamp on everything and Craft Stamper is the one magazine I buy regularly! However I sent in two projects to them last year and they kindly decided to publish my pirate bunting! My son isn't too impressed but is pleased that he will be able to have his bunting back and on his wall again soon. Let me know if you liked the article - it's on page 30.
Also along with the circular squash book (which I did manage to finish and have time to make a little box to keep it in - post of finished article is below if you are interested) here is something else I did on Sunday:

| Birdcage |
I bought the birdcage from Sema warehouse and thought it needed pimping so I have used Sizzix tattered flowers and bunting made from My Minds Eye papers, the vines are from a Martha Stewart punch and the metal birdies that were on the cage have been painted with inka gold paint - I want to paint the leaves too but have decided that I absolutely must use inka gold paint on them too and as I don't have a green I am going to have to treat myself to some when I go to ArstyCrafts and finish it then! The birdies I bought at Artisan and have covered with music paper and inked. Hope you like it!
My dining room table looks just as messy as last week despite having to clear it all off for a couple of dinners this week:
and yes that is an almost finished layout at the back there - I am so trying hard to get out of this scrappers block - I seem to be able to make projects just not scrapbook layouts at the moment!
That's it from me today - my little boy has been poorly and off school for two days (which is why I haven't had a chance to blog the birdcage before now) so today I need to catch up with some jobs around the house as I am having a decorator in tomorrow to do a few rooms for me - whoo hoo.
If you would like to join in the fun and frolics of looking at other peoples desks and see what they have been up to pop over to
Julia's and show us your desk - go on you know you want to!
Thanks for looking :)
