It's only paper...

...but LOOK!


See how pretty?



It IS only paper, but I really needed to share my excitement with you. This bundle of papery joy cost £4.00! How money-savingly fantastic is that?

Pixie has already ear-marked some of it of course, for another new book project she *needs* to do immediately.

And some teeny little stamp letters for an equally teeny smidgeon of pennies...99p.


Oh craft heaven :)

Making a book

I wanted a new book for my words that I am learning. Mammy found one from this blog so we made one similar.

We made pages from card and Mod Podged them into my new book.




And then I stuck in my words.



I have filled all of the pages and I want to make another one for some drawings. You can put anything you like in your book

I am liking Mod Podge and use it all the time for sticky sticking. Especially the kitchen table.

And the winner is...





Poify/Sarah!

Well done! Your name was expertly-drawn by the nightie-clad Pixie straight out of bed this morning :)

Contact me (via GP?) and let me know your address and I'll post the  Weleda oil on to you.

Thanks for all of those lovely comments!

Weleda Giveaway!

Weleda is one of our most favourite brands in the Green Queen household. Even Daddy has succumbed to the scenty smells and soothing balms (especially after a long golfing game and he has chaffing between his legs - Calendula Nappy Change Cream is THE saviour, without a doubt. But Ssshhhh! Don't tell him I told you that.)

Those lovely kind folk over at Weleda are giving away a sumptuous bottle of their award-winning Pregnancy Body Oil!

The Pregnancy Body Oil is filled to the brim with natural ingredients and is made from naturally-sourced raw materials

Geranium - marvellous for relaxing and uplifting the body and mind, as well as its healing properties for dry and damaged skin; lavender, also for skin healing as well as easing muscle aches; orange, as a natural pick-me-up for the tiredness that often accompanies pregnancy; and magical organic arnica flowers for anti-inflammatory properties.

It also contains jojoba, sweet almond oil, wheatgerm oil.

Weleda's Pregnancy Body Oil is perfect for growing tums, bums and other bits that seem to stretch vastly during pregnancy, as well as being an ideal post-natal moisturising oil as the skin returns to its normal elasticity. Existing stretchies and section scars can be helped by smoothing on the oil too.

Lushness in a bottle :)

So for your chance to win a bottle of this magic, leave a comment for me, and Pixie will draw a name from her straw hat (so she has decided) on Thursday 29th July and the winner will receive a full-size 100ml bottle of Weleda's Pregnancy Body Oil. It's that simple!

Mama Made Monday (or Tuesday!)



A make for Mama Made Monday.

A reclaimed amber bracelet and earrings from Eveline's teething necklace that lost a bead.

The lovely folk over at Little Acorns to Mighty Oak sent a replacement necklace for our girl, but I hate waste, ya know? So I reclaimed the beads. ALL FOR ME!

And added a few little Tiger's Eye stones at the end of the bracelet.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's makes :)
