Crafty Party Time!

Last Saturday I did my first Crafty Party for a young lady turning 8.  She had 8 other guests and we made 3 items, a keyring, a bracelet and a notebook.

The girls were lovely and worked really hard on their creations,

Here is a picture of their notebooks and bracelets, a huge thanks to mummy "L" for sending it to me!  Look at all those yummy Stampin' Up! colours!

Please get in touch if you would like me to run a Crafty Party for your child's birthday.
