Well, I've really missed taking part in Kelli's Show and Tell Fridays, so being as I actually am organised I will share something this week. If you would like to join in the fun you can by posting an item you would like to share, then visiting Kelli's blog and adding yourself to the links list. She's got a STUNNING embroidered pillow on display - a gift she won from her friend Jackie's blog! Blog land is so wonderful.
Today I'm sharing an item I bought yesterday at the local thrift store. I actually spent $8 there, which broke down into about 12 items, but I don't want to overwhelm so I will just display my funnest buy.
Such a cool little item - comes in a plastic container, with a recipe booklet. Well perhaps I can't really imagine myself making as many of these things as is displayed on the cover, but still...
Each little cutter has a plunger on the end, so that the shapes don't get stuck in the tubes.
Four fun shapes - I think these will be great for veggies, fruit, bread cubes (croutons) dough items or even cheese. I can also see cutting shapes out of beeswax for crafting!
And how much did this set me back? What would you say if I 'fessed it cost me 25 cents?
And since I've not created anything for a while, and because I'm feeling inspired and because my friend KIM B's Commercial Use Items ROCK... I'm giving you some sweet eggs for you to use in any way you wish. I've been playing with Kim's Commercial Use items and having a BALL. If you are a designer, or even a daring personal use scrapper who wants to lend your own flair to things, you simply MUST visit Kim to find out more about her many Commercial Use Products she has available.
I must confess, I forgot to include Kim in my TOU for the eggs but I DID use her lace and the ribbon for these eggs!
I'd LOVE to see how you use the eggs, if you would be so kind as to let me know, send me a jpg, layout etc? I'd feature you even!
(eggs are aprox. 5 inches high!)
Barb these are beautiful, thank you for sharing and making them CU
ReplyDeleteWow, how cute are these little eggs! I will be by later to download thought I'd say hi and see what you've been up to...
ReplyDeleteThat little cutter is a very neat idea, you are the bargain Queen!
We might be looking at getting a new computer an i-mac, the pc is giving us many troubles and I never used an i-mac before.
Not sure how the software is like for scrapping and if I can even use freebie items etc.
It should be easy once we get it but I hate learning something new, I always want quick results.
Thank you in advance, and talk to you soon. HUGZ!
Lucy
Just on my way to bed and saw you on my blog roll darlin'!
