DIY book covers etc.

Couple of days ago I came across this great blog - paislee press and few things that caught my eye over that space was - DIY book covers and a book called Mini Masterpieces. 

When it comes to DIY book covers, I know that not many of us probably have time or energy to do it, but I think these simple b&w covers and ribbon labels looks really pretty. Perhaps just cover the "ugly" books? like dictionaries, or really colourful books? head over here if up to this project.

Mini masterpieces is a photo book or in this case with pictures of drawings and projects your child made. I know my daughter would love it and me too...definitely doing it when she gets a bit older and have more drawings. Wouldn't that be great gift for grandparents?

things I & others made

Just before Christmas I made  few presents for my sister and mum. I wanted to try make these ribbon necklaces for a long time. I made coral coloured one for my sister and navy and yellow for my mum. We also did a tiny bracelet with A. for her best friend, which we wrapped in magic bags from Audrey and had great fun making ribbons with butterflies and stars. 

On the last photo is a Birthday Calendar  also from Audrey which you can buy here.

have you seen this?

"A birthday poster with the words I'm so glad you were born, that she could then divide into 25 postcards.

Each postcard + instructions can then be emailed to 25 friends and family of the birthday gal or gent for them to print, cut out, write a message, and send. As the postcards begin to arrive, the poster begins to take shape, fun!"
