Charming Day

Charming no. 1 = These charms were finished over the weekend - they are to be attached to coathangers as a gift (from the mother of the bride to the wedding party). The back of the charm has a piece of printed fabric whilst the front is a bunch of tulips and their initial.
Marion has made the coathangers so once we have tied the charms to the
coathangers I'll show you the finished product.
Originally it was to be ribbon embroidered tulips but
I'm sure a young wedding party would like the charms better.Charming no. 2 = I received these goodies from Kylie as part of her Pay it Forward pledge. They are so well made and very cute! Thank you Kylie.Charming no. 3 = I participated in my first ATC swap with the theme "Twisted". It was interesting to see all the techniques used and the different 'takes'. My ATC is the one with the "mad monkey scientist" who has been so twisted that his body has been split in two - he's holding some paper dolls that he has cut out! I have a spare ATC (maybe 2?)so if anyone would like to swap one with me, just let me know. (Sorry I don't know why you can't click on the photo for a better look - if you would like to see a more detailed photo I will do it in another post)Charming no. 4 = Probably for farmers and those of us who were needing to wash our cars.....it is raining. I think it is probably the heaviest rain we have had this year - including thunder, lightening and hailstones.

Charming no. 5 = Melissa's giveaway. You have until this Wednesday to leave a comment about your favourite season and you will have a chance to win this bundle of lovely goodies.

Charming no. 6 = I'm very, very close to my 200th post

Not so Charming = I haven't got a giveaway organised yet to celebrate the 200th!

Oh My Gosh and here I was about to write and ask what you had been up to since you have been soooo quiet!!! :) Well I quess I know why now... You have been a VERY BUSY girl!!!

I love the charm and hanger idea I can't wait to see how you put it together!!

Do you not have a rainy/dry season as we do??? Or is your rain more evenly spaced throughout the year??

Great ATC swap, what group is that from. Yes it is 2.50 and the heavy rain has hit here just in time for school pick up what joy....My car needs a wash anyway a big wind blew a heap of tree litter all over my car today so hopefully it will wash it all away.
